Spoiler: show I am surprised at how strongly you guys seem to want to ship characters in this series. ^^; I dunno, for me HxH is refreshing since there are so few females to muck up the story with Spoiler: show Plus, the 2011 version places even less emphasis on fanships. The old series added some interaction between Pokkle and Ponzu during the Hunter Exam. It also ramped up the "friendly dynamic" between Kurapica and Leorio by a lot. ...I guess to make up for it Madhouse is pushing Gon x Killua more? *shot*

In response to Yuki's final spoiler box in the last post:
Spoiler: show As for "it" being a sight gag, *shrug*, I dunno, guess it just really resonated with me a lot more than it did you guys. Maybe that's all the writer or the producers meant it as too: but for me, it was very, very profound. I took a lot away from it. And I think it's worth pointing out that, as they say, "it's the little things [in life] that count." It may have been a 5-second little blurb, and the character may not have even been that emotionally invested in what they were saying at the time, but for me, it opened an entire portal into their very soul.

Talon, I don't think it was ever said that people couldn't log out of Greed Island, remember that old man who commissioned everyone expected dudes to check in and out, and IIRC we'd already seen people outside who spent time in Greed Island.
Given Biscuit's attitude thus far, I think she's going to go for money. I dunno about Gon or Killua though.

All I'll say is that the ending was such a tease, especially for those who saw the first series. (It was to be expected, sure, but even the preview... =3=)

*so tempted to troll everyone with manga spoilers*
Don't worry, I won't. Hi everyone, I'm sure some of you know my from my annoying entrance at a certain livestream, but I hope we can get along. Yoroshiku~ Spoiler: show |

I'd be pretty horrified if either of those two kicked the bucket, but Togashi is pretty Third Reich-tier efficient at how he executes his characters. Most of his brutality is in efficiency, as opposed to the Urobutcher who aims to terrorize.

I've really gotta stop discussing HxH with Yuki on Skype. She lured me into it this week ('TWAS A TRAP! [/ackbar]) and now I find myself having to rewrite my thoughts for this week's episode ... never mind last week's. ^^; Well, here we go. Thoughts for 48 will be pretty brief. Thoughts for 49 will be a bit more comprehensive.
Episode 48: Spoiler: show Episode 49: Spoiler: show I think that about covers most everything.

Episode 80 was such an odd mixture of silly and serious, sometimes juxtaposing lighthearted comedy with grim, grisly stuff.
Spoiler: show Man do I wish that episodes 81 through 100 were already available to watch. Only one episode a week is killing me.

Episode 81 ... entertaining insofar as HxH is always entertaining, but I haven't felt an episode to be this much of a staller in months. What is there really to say about it other than:
Spoiler: show That's pretty much it. No major plot advancement, no major character development outside of a minor character. The sneak peek for next week's episode looks promising on at least two fronts: Spoiler: show Here's hoping it advances the plot quite a bit as well.

Episode 84:
Yuki, this week's episode was pretty good and offered a generous amount of developments. If you can't see it soon, zero worries. I just figured I'd let you know that an early trip to the library would not be a waste as it might've been had this been stally filler. Spoiler: show
