littleorv posted:Gonna start off this bad thread with a bad post. Having a gigantic (gay or not) crush on Miyuki Sawashiro is pretty standard practice for anyone familiar enough to recognize some of her roles, taking into account that she has an unusually cute voice, even when she's using the foulest language and denying your existence or trying to sound cool and mistaking your nationality based on looks.  Regarding Hunter x Hunter, I like pretty much all of it and it's one of my favorite comics / shows ever. If forced to select a favorite, it's either Yorknew City or the Election Arc. Leorio giving Ging the finger and people getting fed up with Papa Freecs' bullshit was the best. The characters just grow into you and knowing that there's more to them than their typical archetypes speaks a ton about how good Togashi is at getting you invested with both characters and setting. YuYu Hakusho was equally great. I do kinda wish Togashi or somebody at Shueisha would just come forward and give us the skinny with regards to all the hiatuses. Wouldn't being on Jump Next (Which is published like 4 times a year) or Ultra Jump would be better suited if he finds the Weekly grind bullshit too tiresome? I remember when I saw the schedule the dude who did Nurarihyon no Mago and I thought that it was hosed up.

YggiDee posted:Speaking of Meleoron, God's Alibi and God's Accomplice are amazing superpower names. I love all the bizarre nen powers everyone comes up with (Knuckle: defeating his foes with the power of compound interest), or using fairly straightforward ones in clever ways. Like, how much mileage does Hisoka get out of friggin' Bungee Gum? Weren't Hisoka's arms at one point severed and he just improv'd a temporary solution until Machi (I think it was her) sew his arms back on?

Butt Ghost posted:Besides, Gon doesn't care about Ging too much after meeting him. It was all but spelled out, actually. I remember he was all "Neat, I got to meet my dad. I mean, I don't give a gently caress about the guy, but it was cool" before going back with the one person he actually seems to give two flying fucks about and then she dumps a bunch of books on his rear end so he can catch up with all the poo poo he neglected to do fun poo poo. e: grammar.

Jorghnassen posted:So, I caught up a few years back sometime after the end of the Chimera Ant arc, did they finish the one after? I can't remember much of the beginning, as it went on hiatus again at that point (I do love the thread title). In the meantime, Naruto finally ended, and Bleach continues on... Anyway, if that arc is finished, is the manga also done? The manga is currently on Hiatus (hence the thread title  ), and while the "fallout" of the Chimera Ants arc is done, Togashi did a couple of chapters last year that were basically the beginning of an arc Starring Leorio and Kurapika.e: dang!

NecroMonster posted:I'm actually suspicious that the deception poo poo is just something he does for fun against his lessors. And we've never seen Hisoka "punch above his weight" in the slightest, in fact he's never had a fight were he wasn't just clowning on the other person in the whole series. I think the only person that Hisoka has encountered that could potentially wreck his poo poo, no questions asked, is probably Bisky.

On his journey to meet his dad, Gon met a dude willing to punch the poo poo out of his dad for being an irredeemable shithead, a dude willing to put his life on the line for the sake of bringing him back from poo poo, I'd make them same journey just for the sake of meeting Leorio

Bleach should've legit ended with Aizen going down. The series already had a ton of problems, but Aizen's defeat would've made for a fairly strong finale. Imagine: The guy who, after countless times of having made a fool out of everyone, now finds himself going down screaming at his fate, furious and despairing that two guys he thought "beneath him" kicked his rear end + imprisoned him. Alas, it did not end there. In non-Bleach related things, HxH returns next week, right?

I don't think Gon is a sociopath. Sure, he's a weird kid, but as far as weird kids go, he's got nothing on the Zoldycks. He's just kind of poor at dealing with situations he's got no time to assess or, when he does know what's up, deals with things as he sees fit in an (admittedly) extreme fashion. For example, the fight with the bomber is scary as gently caress, not only because of the circumstances that Gon is willing to put himself through to defeat the guy, but because the bomber himself is getting psyched, like "Is this kid out of his loving mind. HOLY poo poo, THAT WAS HIS HAND! WHY THE gently caress IS HE STILL GOING? I JUST BLEW HIS loving HAND". And before he knew it, he's on the receiving end of an rear end-beating. So, while Gon might be a strange little bugger, I don't think this alone qualifies him as a sociopath.

The only 3 people walking away from this alive are probably going to be Hisoka, Leorio and Kurapica (maybe Ging and Pariston), and that's only because of MC clause.

It's less that he's not going against strong opponents anymore and more... I dunno, it seemed like he was done just playing with his prey? Which he did a bunch with the MC's at respective points.

I really dig the whole way Meruem was dealt with due to the fact that, despite being so hideously powerful that even one the strongest Hunters / Nen-Users alive went down with relative ease from his perspective, he gets killed in such a "mundane" (still loving horrifying if you think about it, though) way that it makes you think what Togashi was trying to say something like: "Yeah, Cell/Majin Buu would totally get killed by a nuke or the radioactive poisoning of one in a more realistic setting. How about them apples?". Additionally, the fact that they mentioned that a poo poo-ton of countries are stockpiling a bucket-load of the loving things and that they're not all that shy about using them.

If my experience with reading Saiunkoku Monogatari (specifically the backstory) has taught me anything, succession wars for the right of a country's throne are seldom a clean and tidy affair. Togashi also seems to have a ton of opinions about a ton of things, so I'm guessing he's gonna portray this as ugly and unnecessarily messy as possible.

Roland Jones posted:The big difference between Neon and Cammy or Tserreidnich is that Neon, while a weird brat, had some actual empathy. Not a lot, admittedly, but some. When Squala (dog guy) died and her handmaid, his fiancee, was heartbroken, she was so sad she willingly left the auction instead of insisting on staying and stuff. She was super naive and not really good at caring about people in general, but she did care about some people. She was basically a really weird child. Cammy and Tserreidnich are complete monsters, meanwhile, and actively malicious rather than generally uncaring. I remember reading one of the previous threads for HxH a little before I registered for SA and I recall that somebody perfectly described all the arcs and how the series plays around with the tropes we'd expect out of a certain type of arc. I feel like I'm preaching to the choir here, but despite all the hiatuses, Togashi is really good at this whole manga thing, you guys.

I loved that part where Gon did the standard Shounen upgrade and it loving threw him in a coma. Deku's constant self-crippling is also a weird thing.
