Who is the AnimeGAF waifu master anyhow?
Wolf's Rain ep.12
Oh look, the old man's doggy that had been chasing them was awaoken by Cheza and is now part of the crew. The boys needed a little female presence to stay in-line anyway, but this tine it's a wolf girl instead of a flower girl.

Only Americans would steal from a foreign little girl. Well I wish I could believe that. Only Americans would be out of shape such that adult men would get lapped by a sickly 12 year old girl. That I can believe. And Takuto does not have good timing for confessions.

Hunter x Hunter Episode 19
So, I finished this episode with real mixed feelings. Starting off, the whole premise of having a tournament where you have to force your opponent to surrender without killing them is interesting. I like how Gon was just totally outmatched by Hanzo, and that Killua was salty that he didn't rank higher. That's where my compliments end however. For starters, goddamn this is a boring nondescript room to have a fight in. I really can't tell you much about the room they fought in. It's this generic tournament white room. Considering this a pretty big moment for Gon and his friends, I think the room should have a little personality here guys.
Gon is just utterly brutalized in this episode, but in pretty weak PG terms to be honest. Even when he has his arm broken he mostly just squeaks out in pain. We're told he can't vomit anymore because he's been beaten that hard, but the floor and Gon actually look pretty clean. The only moment that really sorta conveyed the amount of pain he was in was the moment we saw the world shaking from his first blow to the head. The whole event feels limp to me. Then it takes this turn into a comedic routine between Gon and Hanzo, which just doesn't work considering Gon should be in total agony right now. By the time Hanzo just said "FUCK IT, I'll beat the next guy" I was relieved not for Gon or his friends, but because I was starting to sympathize more with Hanzo.
There's something about HxH that has continuously nagged at me. Violence and the threat of violence doesn't carry much or enough weight in this universe, at least to our heroes. On one hand, it can lend itself to some enjoyable subversive moments, but when I stop to think about it, it leaves me with an unpleasant taste in my mouth. But I'm told it's about to kick off, so I'm gonna stick with it.

Boy am I not feeling this at all.

2011 does kind of fail to capture the sheer brutality of the series in a few ways.
It was like that only because it's Hanakana. No other reason.
In the beginning anyways. It gets brutal as fuck later on.

Not even the best girl in that show.
Damn, this holds up. I watched the 1999 version back when I was starting high school, almost 10 years ago, damn.
If people don't mind the change in VAs, I think it'd be nice to start HxH by watching this series before jumping into the 2011 one (that has 2 "new" arcs after the original ends). Or, at the very least, the first two arcs, since they're censored in the 2011 show. After a while they realize that it wouldn't be possible to censor HxH and just say fuck it, but before we get that, there are some glitter dismemberments. And they regretably skip some pivotal parts of the 1st episode/chapter.

That hair is evil.
EVIL.
I never liked this moment in the series. Gon's stubbornness was not at all endearing, and it felt like his plot armour saw him through to victory more than anything else.

Someone needs to put together an official pole, so we can settle this for real. Regardless who wins, they will clearly be trash, so it's all good.

He was so stupidly lucky that Hanzo was so friendly to him. I mean I don't give a fuck how stoic Gon attempts to be; if Hanzo actually decided to torture him further he would've had to call it 100% and lost the exam and who knows, maybe crippled forever.
But yeh, hero gotta prevail so to his luck Hanzo likes that tenacity of him and gives him the free win, even when Hanzo has murdered people for his ninja training or whatever.
Torture is something I'm really uncomfortable with and so when it's used I'd hope it's handled maturely and not in this "oh we just wanna up the stakes but never pull through with any consequences" fashion.
That reminds me of TFA when the First Order caught Poe and tortured him but weren't able to get any information out of him until Kylo Ren did his mind-attack thingy. Fucking ridiculous. You're telling me that in that universe they don't have the means to torture some normal human being to the breaking point? Urgh, can't stand it. Why not do the mind-attack crap immediately instead. But hey, stoic heroes just shrug torture of ez-pz.
edit:
That's also why Killua's characterization and background story appears to be more and more bullshit the longer the show goes on. This whole "yeh I got constantly tortured as a kid to harden up" is so unbelievably edgy. How he can be, all things considered, a well enough functioning kid is more than questionable. spoiler for later stuff in HxH2011
Later on it's even shown that he was this really caring older brother figure for Alluka.
Yep, this is the trick! It's just like with Star Wars; you just ignore the really bad entries, and let the good ones stand on their own. Simple.
I honestly think Nichijou does something like this really well. It'll take a few seconds here and there each episode to show one part of the town, or have a bunch of short skits about a particular group of completely minor characters, and it doesn't take up a lot of time. But the cumulative effect is, as the show goes on, you get a sense of the entire town constantly being active, of all these small personal stories playing out far away from the "main cast" of Mio, Yuko, and Mai.
In my short time with FC, that was the same sort of feeling I got from constantly going back to talk to the townspeople. While the game has to be more blunt because of the character perspective, the technology, and the way you interact with that world, a TV episode can achieve a similar effect with small, carefully chosen slices of life sprinkled here and there.
I recall Log Horizon doing something a little like this, where the PKers that Shiroe's party defeats in episode 2 keep showing up as background characters over time, adapting to the new society being built.

Well it doesn't waste any time racking up the body count. A bunch of security guards dead by the tenth minute and
Decent start overall. Certainly leagues better than DR1's first episode.

Lolol. I'm still laughing right now with a huge grin on my face.... That was absolutely terrible, disgraceful and just evil, however...
Stay strong brotha, these final episodes are tough and amazing at the same time.
Now the fun part can officially begin for you from here until the end of R2!
Mwa-hahaha!

2 years ago? So the scant few present day Eichi scenes were Mitsuki's delusions, not a sneak peak of what he was doing? I feel lied to. At least they didn't beat around the bush in telling Mitsuki. And Takuto didn't do anything stupid like pretend to be Eichi. But jeez, talk about kicking a girl when she's down. And she's prepared to freeze to death in her depression. And there's still a lot of episodes left. No more wacky fun times I guess.
Is she pretending to be in Initial D?

Episode is basically reacquainting all of the DR2 characters. Gundham haming it up, Ibuki being eccentric and fun to watch, Hiyoko continuing to be the worst thing ever. Episode definitely leaned on the comedic side of things and was rather amusing at times.
Now begins the countdown to when they all turn to despair.

One of these days we'll get another show like Code Geass.
Akame Ga Kill! was like low rent Code Geass. Even ended with a giant Robbit.
Yes please.
