He has a
long range attack he's only used once in the show though
but his thought process creates some intense pain later.

They aren't Nen based minus the rubble that his big bang attack can kick up when he launches it at the ground, he's inventive with how limited he is though.
HE'S PRETTY FUCKING GOTH.
What's with the upside-down cross? Does he work for the Vatican?
His name is Lucilfer plus an upside cross is satanic or at least anti-christian symbol

Probably cause he looks like a jojo character.

Janken Scissors twice in the manga, once in the anime
Janken Paper 4(?) times in the manga, 3(?) in the anime

Interesting so I guess the anime directors kind of forgot a bit, me as well.

Uh his name is Quwrof Wrlccywrlir thank you very much.
They also made Leorio a lot weaker, so they take liberties

I do find this weird. They made him out to be Yamcha tier, but Leorio is a lot better than Yamcha.
Yeah he is at least Tien and Krillin Tier
They do keep his big and useful moments so it's not too bad
Yeah, and it is a good way for the show. It's doing better, but it hasn't really rung true for me as the way JoJo's anime handles these things...
An interesting way to look at it. It is nice how non-focal the main cast has been at points. Mentioning Breaking Bad makes me think that some of these "grey" characters kinda turn out like Black Lagoon for me; certain types of moral ambiguity just don't work for me. After they cross those points, it's just black, no grey, no matter how much the author might try to make one feel otherwise.
It's such a weird world where bad acts can be met with such a handwave, if not from people in power, than from the reactions of those in story. It's kinda tiring from the show, but it does stick with the fact that one of our heroes is a family member of a clan of assassins, who keep skeleton bones in their big-door trashcan.
This does seem like the time where the show is learning how to properly, fully speak in it's own voice.
Yeah, I get that strength doesn't equal better here, which is still a reason why how far they pushed it at points seems overdone to me. Maybe the show was playing with that expectation? I'd have preferred a bit more of a split to kill tactics on the Auction Night Massacre, for a guy who get's put in his place and offed within 4 episodes. The Shadow Dragons tried, but that made me question how the big bad mafia and the dragons themselves could be so clueless about the troupe's power level, more than anything.
I think the only time I like "grey" characters is when they're charismatic of passionate enough to make me wanna follow or believe in them, without noticing. Or when I can see them actually realize their "evil" side is pretty bad, and see them show moments of regret.
I just used the term because it was being brought up here. I dunno what it is they're doing sometimes... I feel like this work is just trying to shock me more often than not. I feel less like I'm seeing real creative quirkiness, and more like I'm seeing a constant bait-and-switch, so it never feels as impactful as I'd like.
Yeah, it's weird, but the show occasionally makes me wish something straight like that would happen every once in a while. I feel like they try to subvert so often, that I don't even know if the concept I'd consider "normal" exist in their world. When it's less that they're going against the grain, and instead just following the grain as proposed in their world, it feels less meaningful.
The nicest thing about this to me (since Kurapika never has worked out for me), is that it's awesome seeing that, somehow, Gon wasn't made to be the answer because he's the "main character". Which is a term that seems loose within this show anyway. While I may feel that KuPi's induction into spider-stompin' badass is quite heavy-handed, the fact he had a conviction, and was treated seriously enough by the story to be able to take that, and surpass the poster shotas is ultimately refreshing.
Togashi plz.
Thr upside down cross has actually been a Church symbol for longer iirc, as the cross of Saint Peter.
But yes, it's probably used in a different context here, but I don't know why it's even a part of Hunter x Hunter unless the series gets really religious for some reason.
I know just talking about how it usually use in fiction.
I don't think it does at least in not in a big way pretty sure it just a thing for Chrollo

With the Phantom Troupe only a handful of people know how strong they are, so it was easy for the mafia to get super cocky with their chances against them. Four got manhandled by one dude and then the rest got off paneled. On top of this They're not even the end all be all power wise so there are things stronger than them. Even still these guys are still really fucking strong, which is something I like about HxH, there really isn't that much power escalation. Strong people stay strong, they don't end up getting Piccolo'd. I think even the "nice" people in HxH have some skeletons in their closet. Even best boy Killua has been killing dudes since he was five.
Togashi's read about a lot of stuff, but doesn't really understand the import of what they are.
That's why there's a speech about Judas in Hunter x Hunter.

So seeing how we are still talking about Hunter X Hunter can I say how well designed
Neferpitou is when it comes to catgirls, I don't know when it comes to catgirls in anime they tend to bore me but I think Togashi kinda wasted a great catgirl design on Pitou. I don't know something about the eyes and fangs sort of give this cute but deadly feeling and I really enjoy Pitou's frilly hair.

I've never understood why people dislike remasters. That said, I look at some remasters and wonder, why?
Why?
Why give this a remaster when the one true xbox platformer remains criminally forgotten?

Having interviewed the creator of the game Voodoo Vince back in December, the reason why is a combination of love of his first project and also because there was no easy way to play the game without owning an OG Xbox. Not even on the 360 given some code incompatibility. Also, Voodoo Vine does have a cult following one of which is Phil Spencer. So the green light was given via IDXbox and this game became this odd quasi-third party project via Beep Games.
<3 man <3
Writing long posts makes me appreciate the efforts people have to go through making an OT or new thread.
Speaking of obscure games and anime I remember an old GBA Astro Boy game being really good. Nobody ever talks about it sadly.
One of these days, I wouldn't mind playing the Blinx games since they were the rare few games that I cared about being on Xbox (kid me just saw it as "that system that has all the M-rated games that I don't care about"), but my understanding is that Microsoft saw that the feedback was "this character design is awful" & kept appearing in "worst game mascots" lists to the point they wanted nothing to do with the character after the 2nd game & didn't even bother to renew the license/patent for the series.
Though I will admit, I agree with you that of all the games to return, Voodoo Vince is a weird once since it didn't seem that interesting to me as a kid & I recall the reviews were "eh, it's okay", but I can understand that the creator wanted to bring it back/make it easier for people to play nowadays.
Omega Factor? I got it because I was liking the series that was being shown on Toonami & later learned it was made by the same people who made Gunstar Heroes, one of my favorite games, which just makes me appreciate it even more. Still have the cart since I know it'll never see a re-release.
....& the GBA game made me hope the PS2 game by Sonic Team would be good.....*sigh*...
Also, kind of want to vent. Had to work 2 weeks in a row working 6 days, & just had to go in tonight on account of my best friend's wife going into labor (which is totally understandable, I was preparing for it, just wasn't thinking it'd be tonight/when I was off), meaning I have a good feeling this'll mean a 3rd week, & my friend is taking next week off to be with his newborn son, which most likely means a 4th week in a row/an entire month of working 6 days....which means a nice amount of extra money obviously, but starting to feel like it's taking its toll on me, especially since things got busy again with Guardians of the Galaxy 2. At least Toonami helps me take my mind off it, even if it's just for a few hours.

ToonamiGAF, what was the general thread consensus on Parasyte? I skipped out on it back when it was airing, but I noticed over on r/Anime, they're going to start doing a Group rewatch of it, so I was tempted to go along with it.

It's good in idea, not in execution. Doesn't help that the dub is flat.
Is crazy girl the student
that got half or quarter of the school killed by confronting someone alone that she thinks or knows is dangerous and possibly a murderous alien without even telling her brother working on the case.

Sounds like I should not watch Tokyo Ghoul then if Parasyte is the better of the two.
