Btw, guys, is anyone else watching Wonder Egg Priority? It’s been airing since Jan, and I just watched the first episode, looks really good!

That and Urasekai Picnic.

@Witchilich

gotta check that out as well, thanks!

[Staffy]

Just finished Hunter x Hunter. That was great!

A few things and also a question or two…

SPOILERS INCOMING, I don’t understand why the spoiler tag is not working for the first bit.

Leorio and Kurapika

[spoiler]I find it a shame we don’t see them at all during the Chimera Ant arc. I get it that they aren’t in that storyline, but I would have loved to see what Kurapika was up to, especially after seeing him in the end credits with the eyes. Would have been great to see some of that.

Some more parts with Leorio too, great dude. But, alas.[/spoiler]

Question about Allukka

Basically the only person that can make wishes to her is Killua, right? But what gives him the guarantee that she won’t come with a messed up request? This probably was explained but I’m not entirely sure.

And last but not least…the manga. Still ongoing, but worth it? I mean Gon lost all his abilities, power, nen, didn’t he? Or did the healing truly fix everything? Meaning, is Gon back to how he was pre fight with Pitou? Does the Manga continue Gon’s story?

I’m gonna check and see if CR offers the HxH manga.

Yeah, it took YEARS for the second season to come. Even I only got back into the show like last year or something. There’s a reason why another studio is doing the final season, the previous studio just couldn’t do it in the shorter span of deadline the final season has gotten, it’s unfortunate but at least the writer is fully on board with the anime’s making, and it’s not a FMA or Game of Thrones type situation.

However, I don’t expect AoT to end this year. As I said, they might split it into parts and take a mid season break and release the second half next year. But we’ll see, we’re close to the 12 episode mark now. We’ll get to know soon.

The “final season” will probably end on a funny cliffhanger:D Yeah I think we have to wait another year for the end is my guess.

Next arc focusses more on Leorio, Kurapika and Ging. Next arc does not involve Gon/Killua.

Gon has been reset to how he was before he learnt nen, he has to learn everything again. Its a speculation but he may get a new nen, since he sacrificed his nen to defeat Pitou and “Something” gave him a new one.

Not much is known about Alluka/“Something”. We get some hints in the dark continent arc. Read the first panel in top right(and remember the sound “Something” makes).

We have been getting hints about the dark continent for a while like Silva Zoldyck mentions Alluka as “Something” that “came from outside of this world”. But we can go deeper with theories about Gon being affected by “Pap” when he transformed, seriously we know nothing about Gon and where he came from(this is a theory and maybe wrong).

Thanks for this.

Yeah, exactly! We actually know so very little about the little dude, Gon. So many questions, haha. I’m trying to find info too on how that big change exactly happened right before Pitou.

I wonder how much anime i have missed out on over the last few years by watching only stuff that hits Crunchy roll.

A lot! Or well, probably. I can only speak for CR in my country, The Netherlands and it lacks plenty that the US CR does have. But there is still a lot they just don’t have. Thankfully one really nice app on Xbox exists and many other ways.

Hope with the buyout, everything from Funimation is also on Crunchyroll.

In Germany we have Crunchyroll, Wakanim, Anime on Demand, Netflix and Amazon for legal anime streaming

What I really loved about the first arc or two in HxH was the whole friends dynamic of Gon, Killua, Leorio and Kurapika. It was one big adventure for them, I just loved that.

What other anime similar to that are there?

Polygon (Polygon)

can Polygon fucking please die already?

A website reading too much into things I assume? I’m so not surprised. I honestly don’t even bother with most gaming sites anymore anyway.

I’ve started watching Demon Slayer, 4 eps in and definitely enjoying it!

they’re reposting an article they made that was wrong in 2019, and is still wrong in 2021. They’re just trying to cash in on the craze around the show right now and rile up people, it’s annoying.

That aside, I’d started watching Demon Slayer but got distracted after the first episode and never returned to it for some reason lol. Gotta check it out again.

[javycane (Javier Ruiz)]

Cant wait till the 86 anime drops and we get similar articles about it being Nazi propaganda and how the female MC is a Holocaust apologist.

It’s very worth it.

86? Never heard of it, but sounds like I should keep it in mind.

Finished Uzumaki yesterday. I was kinda hoping for more clarity, but I guess that’s Junji Ito for you, haha. I still have several other manga to buy that he made. I saw one called Gyo. Tomie, Remina and more.
