I miss Gon, Kurupika is cool and all, but he’s not Gon. Edit: the fact that this manga is always on break makes the main character’s absence more jarring.

hito posted:I think I've posted this before, but my theory is that there's going to be a B-plot where Wing teaches Gon to open his micropyles through meditation. He started his journey with Nen by choosing the quick and easy way instead of the slow, controlled way, and that ended up destroying him. So we can watch him do it right. And by having scenes where Gon is meditating, we can find out what the heck his goal is now, anyway. (It also means chapters with less drawing which I'm sure Togashi is all about.) Seems legit. I myself think that Gon will end up with a different type of nen.

We've taken Punch Hard to something like an extreme and we already got other bigger characters around, could even wave off with "yeah he used all his Punch Hard juice" or whatever

Well Nen corresponds mostly with your way of thinking and at this point it doesn't seem Gon's really changed in that regard. Maybe after some soul searching which Ging told him to do he could change tho.

I'm pretty ok with Hunter X Hunter's release schedule at the moment because what is coming out is great imo and also it being weekly and at least for the last few years getting a volume at a time then hiatus is a lot better then Berserk's monthly getting 3 or 4 chapters then hiatus when it comes to my enjoyment and maintaining my excitement in the story.

i would be fine with the release schedule if togashi was a young, healthy man. we may never see the end of the current arc, much less the dark continent. that's just how it is, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

A different Hatsu maybe, but your primary nen category never seemed like something that would shift. I think there is a reason why Hisoka likens them to blood-type personality tests. Your primary nen category is a part of who you are, you don't change that in the same way you can decide how to use it.

We just have not seen an example of it yet. The closest example being Kurapika changing his type when his eyes change.

it's not something that ever shifts because nen development is cumulative. gon got reset to zero, so if he had really changed dramatically as a person i could buy his type changing.

The closest example being Kurapika changing his type when his eyes change. The only stated examples of people who are most likely to shift are Manipulators and Conjurers into Specialists and that's a super rare occurance (only 1%) It's highly unlikely that anyone from other categories would develop specialization later in their life as the story states. Kurapika fulfills the idea that people are born specialist or not at all when you factor in his red eyes and I don't think the story ever substantiates that idea that you can change your primary nen category. But you can still use others (except specialization), just not as well as someone else born into that category.

Wark Say posted:While JoJo was relatively popular and all, Yu Yu Hakusho and Slam Dunk were, for a while, some of the few series that were actually able to give Dragon Ball any actual competition. The YYH and Slam Dunk animes, despite their flaws, are still fairly watchable even today and their popularity cannot be overstated. While I actually like Hunter x Hunter more nowadays, I still think that, had YYH not been as popular as it was, Togashi wouldn't have gotten to do nearly half of anything like what he did on HxH. Additionally: I see, thanks. Isn't Saint Saiya very popular worldwide as well?

I think it came here earlier and a lot of kids remember DBZ, Saint Seiya and Yuyu Hakusho over CN/Nick shows because those aired on broadcast TV. I was mostly referencing the fact that the YYH dub in PTBR fuckin' washes the American one. It's very powerful.

You could make a strong argument for Saint Seiya being more popular in Latin America than in Japan, and it was actually pretty big in Japan.

Not even an argument, there's no doubt Saint Seiya hit its popularity peak with us (adding from Argentina here). It's by no means unpopular in Japan either, of course, but it's a cultural icon in this continent. Which is kind of weird because, in hindsight, it's not that great. It had one amazing arc (two in the anime because Asgard is what all filler should strive to be) followed by absolute mediocrity and the canon prequel/sequel is complete poo poo and far surpassed by a non-canon prequel that's far better in every way than the original work (The Lost Canvas, give me Shiori Teshimine all the time).

Strange. I wonder if the anime studios made all that much money due to many Latin American countries still developing and piracy being more popular.

Pretty much. To put it in another way: If you were a young adult in the late 90's with a kid on the way, naming him Jotaro would've earned you some odd looks, but naming him Oliver Seiya was a perfectly fine (although admittedly dorky) name to give to your child.

The previous one was a slow chapter, but in this one things are speeding up! -Harkenburg bodyguards have awakened their nen but it's in 'sleep' mode, until the prince takes resolve on the succession war. -Hanzo nen ability, discover who was the assassin and killing him. -Tyson nen creatures seems to be protecting her followers, but not the other guards. -Hanzo is missing his own body and Biscuit! -Camilla on attack! Is she a nen user, or just very stupid? Will her nen beast attack following her personality?

Eh, rear end and titties don't usually do much with PTA/Helen Lovejoy-types here in Mexico. I don't think they censored any nudity / sexual harassment in Ranma 1/2 or Dragon Ball until like the 00's and the gay relationships in both MK Rayearth and Sailor Moon were left intact, unlike the US.

punk rebel ecks posted:I see. So does anime and adult animation have less stigma against it in Latin America then in the US? Anime came in mostly completely uncensored during the 90s, with no one really having much issue with it. Few times did we get something dubbed over a censored American version and it was more likely to happen due to politics than due to censorship. I can't remember if anything was censored here, but probably not. We just got the anime as it came with usually very high-quality dubs (though not without their errors) and the soundtracks left intact (translated for openings/endings, but keeping the original song).

Eh, there's stigma, but if you are 30 or younger talking about anime you used to watch as a child is whatever. Anime was our saturday morning cartoons, really. My best friend's girlfriend is definitely not nerdy at all and she still went "hey is that a new DBZ movie that's cool I remember Freeza" when Ressurection F was on theaters.

We had a terrible economic crisis starting in early 94 that pretty much extended for the rest of the decade unless you were in one of the big three cities (Monterrey, Guadalajara and México City) and even they had their good share of extreme poverty. If your escapist show of choice was watching a dumb but plucky red-haired delinquent trying to impress a cute girl and finding a sense of purpose through Basketball, hey knock yourself out. If somebody gave you poo poo for watching a show, it was usually the type of people you didn't want to hang out anyway. Most people from most generations were either "Hey, that's cool!" or "Eh, I don't like it / not my bag".
