I watched the last episode of Hunter x Hunter today after putting it off for months.

I'm not sure I like the surprise aliens reveal. Like the world feels plenty big enough already without adding that particular wrinkle. I get that it's just a stopping point for the anime, but it's also kind of a cheap move to just throw out there at the last second with no promise of a follow up.

Also, the butler dude being alive fakeout at end pissed me off and hurt me emotionally.

It actually isn't aliens, if you can believe that.

Also, yeah, Not!Gotoh made me mad too.

I'm not sure how else you could spin non-native species to this world, but I'm up for Ging being mistaken.

In either case, I look forward to seeing this plot point get resolved in ten or so years.

In the manga they bring up something called the Dark Continent, which is a world "Outside" of the world everyone knows. It's where the chimera ants came from, as well as possibly Nanika. It's not a very pleasant place.

The world of Hunter x Hunter that everyone's familiar with is actually just a collection of islands in a lake at the center of the Dark Continent.

Oh, that does sound pretty neat. I can get on board with that.

Also interesting in that the focus seems to be on Kurapika and Leorio this time. Too bad we're gonna have to wait 10 years for Togashi to draw it.

I hope so. One of my biggest disappointments with the series was not nearly enough Leorio screen time.

I like Kurapika fine, but seeing him always makes me nervous. His character arc seems like it's going with the standard revenge plot stuff that gets worse before or if it gets better, which is real emotionally draining to follow.

does HXH 2011 have an original ending, since the manga has been on haitus for about two and a half years?

No, it just stops where the manga leaves off after the Chairman Election arc, but it's functionally a natural open-ended ending.

And anyway, the manga's only been on hiatus for less than a year this time!

I feel kind of bad that Leorio has yet to fight, or at least win, a battle on his own. Just as he's about to finally fight a dude one-on-one, Killua goes EdgeMaster420 and steals his kill.

What can Leorio even do, aside from feel people up?

He gets to do something cool eventually! ...Just happens to be in the last arc of the anime.

The worst thing about that image is that it reminds me how few shows have good gay relationships without falling into the category of the yaoi/yuri romance sub-genre's.
There's like Bodacious Space Pirates and ???

Utena as well I guess.

I don't think it's too atypical of shoujo. Like Cardcaptor Sakura and Sailor Moon have multiple gay and lesbian relationships with recurring secondary characters.

The Madoka Rebellion movie being on Netflix finally got me to watch it. It had some cool rear end fight scenes. The ending was more open-ended than the series', and I don't like ambiguity. :(

I think the twist at the end needed a little more foreshadowing, but at least it was consistent in making me feel as unsettled as I did the whole rest of the movie.

That'd be spoiling the ending! No they don't. His gladiator best friend in his previous life who was totally gay for him reincarnated into a girl, so you can guess how that goes. There's some nice mystery about what the hell happened in Pompeii between all the romantic comedy drama as well, since there's a couple other people who were reincarnated.

I'm gonna read this.

I'm not a fan of the translator keeping honorifics in 79 Pompeii as is.
