That cell phone ringer size OP song cut.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

RAISE YOUR FLAAAAAAAG

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Raise your Flag!!! ...cut short.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Toonami is pretty solid in terms of lineup right now

 

[Moaradin]

Yeah this show will fit in here nicely.

 

[zedreamcast]

I know this will probably be brought up in the next episode or something or i missed it, but is the reason that gundams arent a thing anymore cause like gundaniam got hard to get a hands on? or are those other mobile suits still gundams?

 

[Zonic]

Well damn, that was rather good. Still think we might have some trouble following everything when we're commenting at the same time, but hopefully won't be as bad as Dimension W & such.

 

[Hellwarden]

Yep, that's a pretty good first episode.

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

You can smile again, badly edited version incoming!

 

[MetatronM]

Solid first episode. Relena 2.0 sure seems like she's kinda be a real annoyance, though.

 

[ramoisdead]

That's the OP

How the heck am I supposed to know that? Still, it's not what I mentioned before so I approve.

 

[Levyne]

So i haven't seen any HxH, what's the digest version of what I need to know

 

[UltraGunner]

Well that was a fucking info packed episode, just like every other first episode of Gundam. I think the only Gundam that started neatly was G Gundam, and that cuz it didn't deal with politics.

 

[Jarate]

These ones are made out of unobtainium

 

[Shard]

Dear Cartoon Network, please cut down Dragon Soul to nothingness so that better songs may be played in full.

 

[Zonic]

RAISE YOUR FLLAAAGGG

GUNDAM'LL HELP DRIVE YOU MAD!!

 

[Tacorona72]

Good first episode. I hope the rest are this interesting.

HunterXHunter time.

 

[TheOGB]

Not bad, let's see how it holds up.

Hype x Hype incoming

 

[Htown]

that was solid

 

[Battlechili]

Aww. I love Man With a Mission.
Interupting it with commercials is kinda lame, though I understand why.

Overall I enjoyed that! So far IBO is great! If it keeps this up this is looking to be a great show! Its so dramatic. Although I'm still not entirely sure I understand why they were attacking this group on Mars.

 

[ramoisdead]

After that episode I ask, "Dimension W(ho)?"

 

[Raxus]

Previously on HxH:

This....with a little more death

 

[B-Dubs]

So i haven't seen any HxH, what's the digest version of what I need to know

They're taking the hunter exam, everything can and will kill you. Hisoka is a pervert.

 

[StarSketch]

Alright how many times am I going to see this exact Burning Blood commercial.

 

[ckohler]

 

[BatDan]

So i haven't seen any HxH, what's the digest version of what I need to know

The world's crazy dangerous
Hunters are strong people that explore the world.
The protagonist Gon is doing it to find his father
Kurapika is doing it to get revenge on the people that killed his family
Leorio is doing it for MONEY
Killua is doing it for... can't say yet cause spoilers
Hisoka is a monster clown with intense bloodlust.

That's about it.

 

[skLaFarebear]

So i haven't seen any HxH, what's the digest version of what I need to know

There's a hunter exam that our four main characters, Gon, Killua, Leorio, and Kurapika are trying to pass so they can become official hunters which are super strong people.

Hisoka is dabes.

Naruto ripped off a ton from HxH.

 

[Grexeno]

"Just thinkin. Bout murder."

 

[MetatronM]

So i haven't seen any HxH, what's the digest version of what I need to know

The intro is going to give you the basics on what Hunters are. So far they've gone through the first two tests of the Hunter Exam. The 4 main guys are Gon, Killua, Kurapika, and Leorio. Hisoka is creepy, psycho, and vaguely pedo.

 

[Seda]

So i haven't seen any HxH, what's the digest version of what I need to know

The main 4 characters (Gon, Killua, Kurapika, Leorio) passed the first few phases of the Hunter Exam.

 

[Strike]

Hunter x Hunter Time.

 

[Regiruler]

Why was the daughter at the military base if she was going to earth?

Why attack a military base if it would be easier to kill her in space transit?

 

[bigkrev]

I guess I'm the one who hated Gundam. Will give it another week or two

So i haven't seen any HxH, what's the digest version of what I need to know

Gon meets Kurapika Leorio and Killua at an exam to make them hunters. Most of the other participants have died kinda horrific deaths. There is a really powerful pedophile clown.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Iron Blooded Orphans has my full attention now. I'm interested to see where this show goes. Hope it doesn't disappoint.

 

[Tacorona72]

Lol. I laughed at this harder than I should have.

 

[Schadenfreude]

I know this will probably be brought up in the next episode or something or i missed it, but is the reason that gundams arent a thing anymore cause like gundaniam got hard to get a hands on? or are those other mobile suits still gundams?

Well those guys are orphans. Working in what amounts to a rundown base. That they have any weapons at all is pretty amazing. They wouldn't have mobile suits. Those are for important people.

 

[Zonic]

CAREFUL GUYS

HUNTER X HUNTER MIGHT CONTAIN MATURE CONTENT!!

...........oh it's TV-PG

 

[Shard]

So here is the actual music video for the full version of Raise Your Flag.

[blitzwolf215]

Liked that Gundam premiere, didn't even have a chance to comment. Lets see whats up with HxH.

 

[StarSketch]

Why was the daughter at the military base if she was going to earth?

Why attack a military base if it would be easier to kill her in space transit?

I think the main cast was supposed to be her escorts or something.

 

[PixelatedBookake]

So i haven't seen any HxH, what's the digest version of what I need to know

Hunters are adventure people who get to do whatever they want. Protag's dad is guy who became a Hunter instead of raise him. He wants to find his dad. Meets friends. Takes exam. This part of the exam is on an airship.

 

[SkyOdin]

I know this will probably be brought up in the next episode or something or i missed it, but is the reason that gundams arent a thing anymore cause like gundaniam got hard to get a hands on? or are those other mobile suits still gundams?

This will be discussed in the next couple episodes, but

Spoiler

there were 72 Gundam Frames built hundreds of years ago during the Calamity War, and most of those were lost or destroyed over the years. Most Mobile Suits in use are in fact relics from that war, other than the ones built by Gjallerhorn.

 

[Grexeno]

WEALTH

FAME

POWER

 

[Korigama]

How the heck am I supposed to know that? Still, it's not what I mentioned before so I approve.

It mentioned it in the credits (went by quickly, but it was there).

Nothing mind-blowing, but a decent start.

 

[UltraGunner]

Remember how happy the last ending was when a bunch of people were fucking murdered

 

[BatDan]

It's still funny how we won't see a good chunk of those silhouettes for a long time.

CAREFUL GUYS

HUNTER X HUNTER MIGHT CONTAIN MATURE CONTENT!!

...........oh it's TV-PG

Still a kids manga in Japan.

 

[Jarate]

This block has gotten good all of a sudden

 

[ShinRPGamer]

So what's the test for this particular episode? And how many deaths will there be this time?

 

[ramoisdead]

Leorio time bay-bay...unless this main event catches my eye.

 

[Regiruler]

I think the main cast was supposed to be her escorts or something.

I get that but wouldn't they come to meet her, not the other way around?
