Current Events > Watching Hunter X Hunter for the first time [Ongoing Spoilers]

(+) Yeah! (+)

Up to Season 2 now and starting to learn about Ren/Rin and other things. I don't like it when this happens in Anime, over-explaining and expanding on something. Gon/Gong just recovered from the fight against the Top guy, and now they're studying tapes on the Clown's fight

Really enjoying it, but I'm sick of "learning" about Ren/Rin, just explain it and move on

The explain arc sets everything up for Yorknew which is the first 10/10 part of HxH

Yeah, I'm sure it does. I'm just salty that Netflix only has 1.5x Speed and not 2x Speed

I hope you're not watching it in English, Killua's JP voice is 11/10

This show is so f'n weird when it comes to subverting cliches, lol. That little Karate bastard had a jealousy arc, got kidnapped and rescued all in the span of like 3mins. I don't get why Killua is saying he will throw the matches to them, though.

I need to turn on the subtitles just so I know how to spell everyone's name, but subtitles sometimes spoil shit, so I don't know

If you enjoyed goku vs frieza stretched for 30 episodes, you'll enjoy this.

I legit don't understand what's going on right now. Why did Killula make the person he was going to fight not show up? Why didn't he just stomp 'em in their fight? Of course don't answer that, it's just me thinking out loud

Thats literally more than half of the entire anime.

Have fun when they take an entire episode to explain dodgeball

they didnt want to animate it and maybe to show how menacing killua can be or some shit? I mean he's gonna murder them, i forgot the rules if they could murder someone in that tournament

Hunter x Hunter does what it wants. That is what is great about it.

It is more like a living world with breathing characters than a living formula with tropes that have personifications.

They do bring up quite a few aspects of Nen (the power system) so I can narrow down the ones that are relevant.

In - A technique that allows your nen to become invisible.
Gyo - Focusing your aura to a particular part of the body to strengthen it. In particular, focusing it to the eyes allows you to see nen hidden with In.
En - Projecting your aura around you to detect things.
Zetsu - Stopping your aura from covering your body in order to become harder to detect. Also makes you more vulnerable to damage.
Hatsu - Synonymous with nen ability, the actual techniques that they create.

Hatsu can be further split into six categories:
Enhancer - Using your nen to enhance your physical abilities - do a big punch basically. Also healing.
Transmuter - Your nen can take on special properties without being physical. Basically elemental powers.
Conjurer - You can use your nen to create physical objects. Basically creating a sword or weapon.
Emitter - Your nen can be used at long distances. Usually either projectiles or something that can operate remotely.
Manipulator - You can imbue objects or other people with nen. Users are most likely to either bring their own weapons to empower or control peoples' bodies.
Specialist - Misc, anything else that doesn't fit any of the other categories.

Note that the above categories can and do overlap a bit. I don't know if I would watch this series sped up, this is far from the last exposition dump in the series.

So you read that I don't want to hear about it, and then you take your time to give me more info about it? Thanks, I guess, lol
