I'd argue that, outside of the female Phantom troupe members, there's only one female character who is legit good and becomes a long stay. She gets introduced in the enxt arc

My motto for Hunter X Hunter is "Always expect death. You'll be right 99% of the time if you do."
And I always was.
Also, I just saw those April Fools ratings and good lord what a brilliant idea that turned out to be. At least I know about that Mulan sauce now though.

Outside of the Heaven's Arena arc (only Kastro died) that has held true; though how deathy ranges from ouch to .....oh god for the other arcs.

In all seriousness, Pom Poko was actually a pretty fun dumb movie.
But their balls must have magically appeared, they were flying with the skin earlier.
Also, the second gif is kind of painful to watch.
I wasn't too big on Pom Poko, felt like it dragged, the tanookis were kind of jerks at times (like when they laughed off the fact they killed some innocent people who were just doing their jobs like they were told & had no idea of their situation, DESPITE BEING TOLD BY ONE CHARACTER THOSE WERE INNOCENT PEOPLE) & then at the very end,
, making it feel so blunt compared to other Miyazaki films which were more subtle.
the main character literally turns to the camera, ADDRESSES YOU, THE AUDIENCE, & is all "don't hurt the earth, k?"

It's definitely the most blatantly preachy Ghibli movie but I did find myself chuckling at most of the Tanuki antics. That and I reallly loved the animation of the various transformations.
I agree though, that scene of them laughing over the humans dying was a massive "Fucking really?!" moment.
That was also their ballsacks that they were gliding with.
Maybe I just had higher expectations since it was Studio Ghibli since it's not really "bad" when compared to other animated films, but when compared to other Ghibli titles, it's one of my least favorites.
I remember watching it with some friends, & we were kind of getting impatient around the halfway point, wondering how much longer it'd be, so I looked on the back of the box to check the running time, to which all of us were surprised we were only halfway through the film (the total time is almost exactly 2 hours long).

You can name the women in HxH on like a hand and a half...well I think at least two hands.
She should really be voiced by Genkai just to fuck with people, either that or give
Tsubone
Bisky-Chama's the best.
I loved how she made Gon and Killua level grind off of a murderer for a week.

Pom Poko is too long and the same message is done better by at least three other Ghibli movies I can think of.
In other news I finally watched Fuuka episode #11 (The dub is three weeks behind)
This is both the worst and most compelling thing I've watched all season. Yuu is an unlucky bastard for falling in love with Fuuka. I'm sure their combination of him being completely unable to express his emotions (Not even with his fists like a true martial artist!) and her being completely unaware of how anyone else feels will make for a great relationship in the future!
I mean, we get it, manic pixie girls should be flighty, but they also shouldn't go from Band first to Beyonce post destiny's child in the matter of six hours. Deep down people like these sorts of characters because they do care in the end when clearly Fuuka does not.
Also surprise return of the early season cheesecake and a cameo by Suzuka!

One definitely is trans. The other I don't believe so.

Man God's shtick is that he's non-canon, so everything he posts "doesn't matter". Calling him a character poster is false because he regularly adds to thread conversations.
It's such a non-thing to get worked up over. Chill.
Not trying to start anything up again. I just wanted to give my two cents on this topic.

Killua's
sister Alluka

Does she really count? I thought she was born a woman and everyone addresses her as a woman, even fucking
Illumi.

Everyone else in the family still refers to her as a boy and Killua has to correct them.

It more or less wraps up everything except
Kurapika's arc.
I mean that sort of wraps up
at the end of this arc. Revenge like that almost never works out even when its against Evil McSatan.
Last arc in the anime is seriously underrated. People only talk about the arc before it (which is the GOAT, don't get me wrong), but the final arc is also fantastic and provides an actual somewhat satisfying ending to the series.
It also cements Killua as best boy if that wasn't already obvious by that point.

I thought they referred to the other thing inside of her as a boy. Tsubone always seemed fine with Alluka and I thought she considered Alluka a girl as well.
Killua is legit best bro. Risking his life and going against his family to fix Gon's fuck up.

My Neighbors the Yamadas - Probably the most un-Ghibli movie of the Ghibli movies. It was a pretty refreshing watch showing various days in the lives of the Yamada family. Not every segment was laugh out loud funny, but I thought the movie was really charming and found myself smiling throughout it. My one complaint is that for the type of movie it was, essentially one long slice of life, it ran a little too long than it needed to.
It's basically all generalities. The specifics are quite interesting.
Nobody is really talking about story spoilers anyways. We're just being extra safe.
