Back for Hunter X Hunter. Hoping this episode keeps my interest.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

What's the 2long didn't watch version of this?

She was basically a Cyber Newtype created by Neo Zeon and multiple clones of her existed. She "died" twice in ZZ.

Think Rei Ayanami from Evangelion.

 

[cntr]

hxh time yaaaay

I think I'm going to just listen to music for half an hour whenever Unicorn comes on, lol

 

[Htown]

Okay so if I'm getting this, the Gundam has a system for fighting space psychics by taking control of the mobile suit technology that interfaces with their powers, and the suit basically takes over at that point to kill them.

So the woman in the Quad-Wing was bait to get Banagher and the Gundam to activate, and the whole thing is a way for them to try to exterminate the psychics or newtypes or whatever?

 

[Shard]

Right, time to brush up on your Nen Homework.

 

[Zonic]

This is what, the 3rd intro for HxH now?

i think the short version is basically "IT WAS A TEST ALL ACCORDING TO PLAN"

 

[Raxus]

OK, wake up everybody. It is New York....er York New!

 

[Mizerman]

HxH time!

 

[ckohler]

Time to start the hunt.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

This is what, the 3rd intro for HxH now?

Yep, but it's more of an updated from the second version, Just switching out the focus on the Tower to focus on the Phantom Troupe.

 

[Tacorona72]

Back

 

[Schadenfreude]

Oh fucking shit, it's starting!!!!

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Theres really no limit to nen

Sucks to be her

 

[Regiruler]

So the big bad is Special. Go figure.

 

[Morlas]

Wealth, fame, powers.

you've got it.

 

[SigmasonicX]

Reposting this.

OK, it looks like we've reached the point in the story where the 1999 Hunter X Hunter anime changes openings, so let's go over them.

Opening 1 - The song is nice, but it's very unexpected for an action/adventure show. I know when I started this series after hearing great things about it, I thought I had the wrong show.

And then, opening 2, covering the arc we're about to start. This has a huge tone shift, and demonstrates something interesting the first anime did that the new anime doesn't. It completely shifts the color palette to be darker, reflecting the tone of the arc, giving a real dark and gritty feel to the city. The current anime keeps the same light color scheme.

 

[Crocodile]

It makes plenty of sense without seeing any previous shows. She's an engineered human built for fighting.

I think everyone got that. The material was just presented in a way that is completely unengaging and seemed to come out of nowhere (assuming you didn't watch a lot of other UC material). It's not that its hard to understand so much as the show is failing to make many of us care about what is happening.

 

[Shard]

Theres really no limit to nen

More on that later.

 

[Grexeno]

Meanwhile, in Palau.

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

Time for everyone's favorite Uchiha.

 

[Man God]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Zonic]

oh hey, cool, finally focusing on Kurapika.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

Kurapika is the main character of this arc, so time to buckle in.

 

[SAB CA]

Full Frontal JUST told you Marida is the 12th in a line of clones.

You just saw a psychic shockwave of memories that seem like they're from a lot of different lives and experiences.

It's... not as completely un-explained as one could make it out to be.

Is the Newtype / Cyber Newtype thing much different than, say, a normal / fake tailed beast user, or Real Devil Fruit / Government produced model type? Different words and universes, same ideas.

I have to say watching Unicorn overtake the Funnels was pretty sweet, personally. Considering how the things trivialize fodder troops over and over, watching a pilot get a taste of their own medicine is awkwardly satisfying, even without fully being invested in one character or the other.

*shrug* ....And now to watch a Kurapika episode? (-_-

 

[TheOGB]

Kurapika has weird lips at the most random moments

 

[Mizerman]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo

Yesssssssssss!

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Oh so a Kurapika episode.

 

[the_sun_king]

Best arc time.

 

[blitzwolf215]

Kurapika has weird lips at the most random moments

I know right.

 

[Zonic]

AN ENEMY STAND

 

[cntr]

Kurapika's pretty cool.

 

[Kaizer]

Best arc is here!

 

[MetatronM]

Oh so a Kurapika episode.

Like the whole rest of 2017 is going to be Kurapika episodes.

Spoiler

This is a bit of an exaggeration, it's only going to be until like July or August, but still.

 

[Shard]

Kurpika, you are out of your element!

 

[Man God]

He could have done us all a huge favor.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Like the whole rest of 2017 is going to be Kurapika episodes.

Is this arc longer than I remember it was?

 

[SigmasonicX]

I forgot there was so much repeated footage in this episode.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Kurapika is gonna give you some nasty splinters.

 

[HStallion]

He could have done us all a huge favor.

And deprive Kishi of so much inspiration?

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Like the whole rest of 2017 is going to be Kurapika episodes.

Oh very nice. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

 

[Tacorona72]

Git gud, scrub.

 

[Moaradin]

recap is over

 

[Shard]

Come with me because really if you are not a Nen User you are not shit in this world.

 

[cntr]

I didn't know so many people disliked Kurapika

 

[SparksterMeta0]

There's that line again!

 

[Doctor Decimate]

"i carry this cup with me"

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

Someone's poisoned the water hole.
