None of them ever really blew me away. I thought the endings were generally better even the screamy one at the start of the show.
I hate the screamy one but the ending for the second half of Chimera Ants has one of the best intro stings leading into the credits since Roundabout in Jojo
But it was playing in the scene where Kurapika kidnaps Chrollo in York New!
I think the screaming one is good lol. Has good visuals at least. Not that it is a song I would listen to. And the last 10 seconds go way overboard on screaming. It is the weakest ed though.
Yeah this is by far the best ED. I like the lead in even more than roundabout.
I love the second ending, that guitar at the beginning its soo good.
Yes dude
But anyway I was joking about favorite opening but I love love love the decision to stick with Departure despite the tone changes. Makes you really feel like you've come on a journey as it keeps changing and then eventually comes in during the final scene.
This is the second HxH ED that I don't like. ED's 2 and 5 are my favorites. Nothing else comes close.
I love the fact that this arc focuses on Kurapika, although i would like a more active role for Leorio. I want Goreinu to be back though. He has such an interesting and cool ability.
What would his Donkey Kong Nen even do in this arc? Dude got legit shook by a volleyball.
I think it´s an interesting ability and he is an interesting guy that is worth more depth. It´s very useful to change places with the enemy with the black one and save himself with the white one.
To be fair, that volleyball was from Razor!
There's a dude I want to see again. He was pretty strong.
Goreinu seems like he has a sense of self preservation. He'd get steamrolled in this arc. He does have an interesting Nen though.
I'm so stronk that my tight ass clothes fit me perfectly.To be fair, that volleyball was from Razor!

He would frown on how Kurapika lives his life. "You need to make better choices with your life."

Razor is a best, even Phinks was impressed when he appeared in that scene.
Dude even Killua was shook when Razor used that curving ball, he would have been done if he had dodged it.

Oh shit i just checked because you got me curious and the voice its my man Kiryu Kazuma, didnt even realize it.
Im a massive yakuza fan and never even made that connection, this just blew my mind right now.
I looked it up after thinking how cool his voice was that I must have heard it before lol
The undisputable best opening of HxH is "Pray", it's really iconic
And Razor was hot af.
probably my nostalgia talking
And Razor was hot af.
Man, I'm rewatching the series again, and one of the overlooked sad moments for me in the Yorknew arc is
After the Troupe fakes their deaths, and Gon is able to convince Kurapika to stop pursuing the Troupe and instead go after the eyes of the Kurta. Kurapika looks at peace, is smiling, and generally looks towards the future and seems to be open to his friends. Then, when Hisoka send the text, Kurapika immediately goes back into revenge mode, and I don't remember ever seeing him smile in the anime after that point. It's tough to see him smiling, full of hope, only to see him go right back to his lonely path of revenge again.
Don't worry I know Razor's legit fucking dangerous. I honestly just find it fucking hilarious that even something as mundane as a volleyball is dangerous if you infuse it with enough Nen.
Phinks was like, "Yo hold up. Who's this buff motherfucker?! He stronk, let's be cautious." And that's Phinks. Dude's fucking dumb and even he was smart enough to not piss him off.
Wait Razor was voiced by The Dragon of Dojima? Holy shit.
I love Kurapika but that poor boy's going to get himself killed. This is why I root for Killua, he's not self destructive and is actually governed by common sense.
For now. Something tells me Killua [from the little seeds Togashi's planted] is yet to have his biggest dilemma. It won't happen for a long time, but eventually when he comes back into the story, I don't think he's going to be all right in the head, at least for that arc. Just a theory of mine, won't bore anyone with the details unless asked :P
I want to see what Hanzo can do and what his nen is. Sigh so many interesting characters, so few chapters.
He has his blood lust moments that makes him less cautious. But generally i agree with your statement.
It'll probably be something Alluka related, but what's your theory. The only people that seem to set him off are Illumi and anybody trying to harm Gon so what is your theory?
He's not 100% all their at times but he's more sane than Gon at the end of the Chimera Ant Arc and willing to back down without being forced to by Melody, which is Kurapika's problem. That and his Nen don't kill him. It hurts him yes, but he's not exactly counting down his own death like Kurapika is. Gon lost me when he threatened to kill Komugi.
I ordered volume one from Amazon and enjoyed it. (I've read the manga before up to a little bit past where the 2011 anime ends.) The art's really good in there, some cool backgrounds, etc.
I then ordered 2-5 and will read those when they arrive. I intend to catch up to the most recent over time (and probably a short amount of time, at that).
I sure am now remembering how bad the art can get sometimes as the series progresses, though, and I'm worried I've been too spoiled by the anime. Hopefully it doesn't get as bad as my memory thinks. D:

Most of the rough artwork gets cleaned up in the volume releases. Shit in the Chimera Ant arc looked waaaaaay better than the Jump scalations I read back in the day lol. It was interesting to see the improved artwork when I did my reread last year.
Alluka is a significant element to the arc I have in mind.
While Kurapika and Leorio are off to DC, while Gon is deciding what he wants to do I think Killua will literally be on the run, figuratively and literally. He's not going on an "adventure" with Alluka [he wouldn't tell Gon the truth as he'd want to help no matter what] but in reality he's in a grave amount of danger. Obviously Illumi is after them, and this will only get worse as time passes. Killua's not going to knowingly get his friends involved.
It's already been confirmed that Nanika is one of the Five Great Calamities, that she's from the Dark Continent. Not only that but "Ai" is one of the higher ranked known threats from the new world. I feel like the pressure of looking after Alluka, a little girl, and surrounding elements will eventually result in the world finding out Nanika is from the Dark Continent, that she can grant wishes - making her and himself targets to other Hunters, Assassins, the underworld and all sorts of other organisations. Some will want her alive for power and control, some will want her dead out of fear. This also makes Killua a target, not only because he's protecting her but the fact that he's the only known person that can request without consequences. It seems like a natural place for the story to go after the DC arc(s) - that one of the great calamities is already living in the human world and could be a very big threat to many eyes. After all victims of the Five Calamities in the known world have been found, so it's people are looking for these threats, or in this case Nanika. All they need is a lead, and the chase will blow up.
I do think Alluka will eventually be killed. Why? If you think about it, Killua hasn't experienced any real loss like the other main four have. Kurapika lost his clan, Gon lost Kite, and Leorio lost his childhood friend. He's the only one of the main four yet to experience pain quite like this, because for all his strength and resistances, he's still human and death is one of the biggest obstacles of all. Gotoh's death was hidden from him for a reason, which will push him further down that totem hole - I'm guessing this will be revealed at some point and will just fuel him even further. We've seen Killua get frustrated and creepy, sometimes angry... but he's never really completely lost his shit like the others have. He's generally the more reserved of the four. However, Alluka in more ways then one is chipping that shell away, we saw it in the election arc at even the slightest downtalk to Alluka had him with that darker Aura that Gon had. His mere presence over the phone was making Morel shit bricks. Killua's gonna be something scary when the world hits him like a truck like it hasn't before.
The Gon and Killua reunion could probably happen here too. After Gon's own experiences of losing himself to the darkness, I could see him trying everything in his power to save his best friend from that pain. He doesn't want to see his best friend be in the pain he was experiencing himself. At the same time though, Killua could feel a bit betrayed by this since he's done everything for Gon and never asked for anything in return except a friend, but he's asking for something now: his help. It's a tricky situation, but it could create some conflict between the two boys which would be a refreshing take.
Of course, he's going to fucking HATE Hisoka if he ever finds out about what happened to Gotoh. And this will just push him to disconnect from Illumi even more, resulting in one of the most anticipated fights that still hasn't happened yet: Killua vs Illumi. This conflict has been building forever, it's bound to happen eventually. Throw in the other Zoldycks, Ikalgo, friends and company and you got yourself a hell of an arc. Just the idea of Killua having nobody to turn too [as people aiding him will also make them a world-wide target] and being on the run when it's only a matter of time before they're caught or killed sounds really interesting to me. And this scenario seems pretty darn realistic if the world finds out about Nanika, especially after The Dark Continent fallout.
That's the barebones version.
Haha, that's good to hear! I will continue to look forward to it, then.
Same. Hopefully we get 2-3page updates on him occasionally, maybe just before the Whale Boat reaches its destination.
What are the odds of Viz casting Griffith's VA as Pariston? Might as well get Casca for Cheadle too.
If they ever make a Western live action Hunter x Hunter adaptation they better give it to my man Rian Johnson.
Interesting. That makes me more excited to see TLJ lol.
I have pondered a western HxH adaptation. In my mind it would be an epic series of films, easily as long as the Harry Potter anthology.
HxH would be really awkward in a western adaptation IMO. The tone is so bright for the first arc despite the content being insanely dark (people dying by the literal hundred via traps, beasts, venomous plants, and other characters) that I would expect a western adaptation to make Gon and Killua much older (probably early 20's at least, and go all the way with the violence and R rating) or cut down heavily on the dark content of the series (keep Gon and KIllua the correct age, but tone down the darker parts to make it PG-13). If there's a studio out there mad enough to stay true to the material and give it a hard R rating, that would be incredible, but I don't see that happening in western media.
I think you'd need to age then up until at least older teens. The real problem is you can't do anybody's hair right.
