i really liked yorknew and most of the character interaction stuff but yeah hunter x hunter feels pretty weird about that kind of stuff a lot of the time, and while it's not necessarily a negative for me it's also probably part of why i haven't been in the mood to watch it lately.

The way the Hunter Exam is handled makes a lot more sense once you realize the two people at the top are Netero and Pariston.

The first phase will involve users trying to multipost for points, only you also get points from interrupting other people's combos, but they all have to be substantive posts or you'll be probated for thread flooding.

Arguably like Higurashi that way. I could see that. At the very least it had some pretty great pacing and wasn't afraid to pretty clearly tip its hand to anyone paying attention

But to be truly Good to me, a series has to come together in a way that is more than the sum of its parts

But hell you guys probably already went over this a million times already

I watch about one or two episodes of many anime at night. I prefer slow but steady progress, because when I binge I'll watch like 70 episodes in a few days, then not watch that show for several months before resuming.
