Greed Island wasn't bad. It had a cool antagonist, and a lot of really cool "Fights". Like you said, it also had Bisky and she's great. The only thing I wasn't big on was the Video Game theme, and even that wasn't too terrible.

I liked Greed Island quite a bit. It's the first arc that shows just how far a nen usage can go, that they can basically build what was a glorified AR game. And ultimately, it's the kids and Bisky that's able to successfully go through Greed Island because they actually tried to have fun with it, whereas everybody else around them were doing it for the money.
Also it's necessary to progress Gon and Killua's growing friendship, because Killua in general is always written to be a Sasuke-type lampshade character who's edgy due to all he's seen and experienced but is basically given hope by the sheer existence of the unassuming Gon. You basically couldn't cement their friendship in arcs like Chimera Ant where Gon and Killua are more or less spending most of their time in combat. It's also an early introduction to Killua's actual character, since we are never lead to think otherwise, but from later what we see of his interaction with Alluka, he's actually always been a softie turned edgy by his crazy family. But I guess shounen usually cares less about fleshing out characters outside of battles. It's a breath of fresh air to see an arc that was just laid-back and minor in scale, where we actually see characters doing stuff mostly out of combat for an entire arc. Something tells me the last fight of the arc was done pretty begrudgingly because the publishers probably had a problem with ending an arc with no boss battle. I think I'd rather read something that breaks the mold but serves a purpose --- "Iwata was awesome" - Mr. Nintendo https://i.imgtc.com/7dRrfE1.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

The only time I was bored with HxH was the beginning, before they introduced Nen. The whole time I was thinking "so, how the hell do they even fight in this show." I've pretty much liked everything since then. Yorknew, Greed Island, Chimera Ant, Election.

Yeah I'm probably the same way. Tbh I personally through the Hunter Exam arc in general was fairly boring, much like how I found most of the first parts of Yu Yu Hakusho boring. Every other arc is excellent in their own way though. It kinda goes from classic shounen to what is basically an isekai arc to ultra violent high stakes shounen to political intrigue. As shounens go, it's the only that actually tries to do interesting things. Even Jojo always uses the same damn story structure

What I dislike about Greed Island is that the rules make no sense and literally is all about how Ging and friends can literally destroy the fabric of existence on their own whims, for lolz.
Like... every single card they created for that game can work in the real world based on the rules and how the dub explained things. It removes the stakes from anything that will ever happen in the world. Ging ams his friends can rewrite the laws of the world. Nothing means anything. Hell, if Ging was around for the Chimera Ant Arc nothing would have ever happened. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

@Spidey5 Good news for you. Guess who's getting her own spin-off (prequel) light novel?
On the same day, another Toji made their arrival at Okinawa. This was Yume Tsubakuro, a sixth grade elementary school pupil of Ayanokouji Martial Arts School. These girls do not know each other, nor they have any connections with each other. That is, until that fateful day. This story is a record of the hidden conflicts between the three girls. Amidst the entire plan involving the S-Equipment, Hokuto, Suu and Yume, as well as the Elite Guards and Mokusa, will cross swords. The story, which takes place one year before the original story of Toji no Miko, will be published as a new novel!" --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://i.imgtc.com/eZ90o0r.gif ...

Started on my journey of catching up on Shieldbro. Got to episode 10.
2. Brother needs to fuck right on out of this country and stay in a different country that isn't full of shitbags. Just get right the fuck on out of here away from that shithole. Shitbag King can't be a shitbag if Brother is in a diff country. 3. Bow Hero is on my shitlist now. Spear Hero was bad, but I think he's just a dumbass who believes everything whats her name says, when all she wants to do is make Brother's life a literal hell. She's a bad influence on Spear Hero. Bow Hero on the other hand is just a fucking dick to Brother for no goddamn reason. Fuck him. Gonna go watch something else now because this show is full of asshats who piss me off. --- ...

Started on my journey of catching up on Shieldbro. Got to episode 10. For the early part of the series, I'm pretty sure you're supposed to feel the same anger towards the others that Shieldbro does. But later on (I've seen through episode 18, where the simuldub paused for a couple of weeks to take a break) some of those characters do start to redeem themselves and lighten up to Shieldbro a bit. I won't say which ones do, but it's probably easy for you to guess which ones don't and go from there. I disagree with you on Filo getting worse though, she's a precious cinnamon roll. Popcorn_Fairy posted... Gonna go watch something else now because this show is full of asshats who piss me off. See, this is why I usually don't like binging too much of a single anime at once. I feel like the more of a show I watch at once, the more my emotions and reactions towards the show (positive or negative) get magnified, which can cloud my opinion of the show itself and cause me to overrate or underrate it. If I tried binging Shield Hero to catch up and had to watch that many episodes of complete asshattery in a row, I'd probably say the same thing. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://i.imgtc.com/eZ90o0r.gif ...

I could only go 3 episodes of Shield Bro before I had to quit. Everyone was basically awful, and it was insulting to the intelligence of the watcher.
"People don't believe Shield Bro because he is the protagonist and we want you to feel bad for him!" I have since heard they made that make some sense, but it infuriated me, and I dont watch anime to be infuriated. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Shield bro is one of those "wait for it" series for sure, specially when it comes to the 3 other heroes, too bad its gonna end before one of the best arcs too, hopefully gets a season 2 or that arc animated as an ova because its pretty funny, also every other character gets a bit of development too so it really gets better in that regard.
