Holy poo poo this is boring, and I'm one of the schmucks who defended IBO.

Like, say what you will about IBO but at least they had the good sense to end on an action scene and get people hyped for the next one

Honestly I don't think most of y'all will like the show, but at least give it another 2 episodes. Remember it's supposed to be a movie, they just chopped it up for tv

Well only her uncle Ghiren was space Hitler. Honestly quite a few of the Zabi's were not too bad. Her dad was one of the better ones for sure.

That's what happens when you cut a series of movies into a TV series.

If you're lost, just know that there are three tv series and one movie's worth of backstory to Unicorn. Maybe not the best way to introduce UC to the modern American audience.

The show wouldn't be that confusing had not but that first two minute sequence which was just baffling.

Sooo the camera picked up Hisoka's aura, but his ability to conceal it was passed to every copy of the video, and you have to see through it?

If anyone plans on checking out the original Mobile Suit Gundam, they got the reverse treatment and were made into a move trilogy with some touched up animation, and they're pretty great.

Nens a cool power system. Though there is one more step before it becomes really interesting. (And one more after that which makes it awesome)

It has occurred to me over the course of its Toonami run that Hunter x Hunter is really better if you binge it

Understanding the mechanics improves your enjoyment of several of the later fights, but yeah it is tedious if you spend week after week getting the details doled out to you
