Other than the liberty given to the studio on running parts of a well-established story. I do like opening song they chose for this. It has a certain ring to the premise of the story. But other than that, and with this episode. Pretty much of it is left in the mediocre side.
That’s it for the Hunter exam. What can I say, it’s a roller-coaster ride of dull and interesting things all together. Sadly, the new series seem to skip on putting importance on the last phase of the exam. There’s rarely any fighting in it. But I doubt they will skip on the tournament part later in the series. But first, we get to have a little detour in the way.
What on earth is happening in this Anime. This guy is dangerous. Even a shotacon will not drool this much … Nah who am I kidding. But seriously, how can you accurately identify people and sketch them in perfect detail with just the sound of their voice? It’s OVER 9000!!!
I wasn’t able to write anything about last week. It’s not like it’s bad, I just happen to have no time doing it or in other words: I’m Lazy. This week is the continuation of an intense battle between team mates in achieving their dreams.
Finding something to say. Finding something to say … Well, there’s nothing to say new since the old one. Nothing to nag about since it’s a nice development episode of Natsume and Tanuma. Rather, I find the bromance suit my tastebuds. But that’s merely my fanboy talking. But I like the image above if you take the context out of the window and judge by the picture. Ah … why I can’t find any doujin of these in the net.
Did he underwent some kind of weight loss surgery here? I don’t think you can loose all that weight for such a short amount of time. Or is he hiding a pillow in his stomach. Either way, it’s forced drama.
And in a delightful display of child abuse, Hunter x Hunter just showed how old works are made classics. If you hadn’t felt the frustration of everyone being driven to the point of fury, then it means that you don’t have a soul! You can’t see this violence that is meaningful, which isn’t just about making you cringe in the utter gore it brings.
I find it funny that this dialogue sounded funny to me. Maybe other than being a cure to a poison, it can also be used for hallucinogens or Narcotics of sort. Anyway Weed can either be a cure or a poison, so why not this applies here as well?
On an interesting note: This is one hell of a great fanservice episode; If this is what the author is going for. I really like the story here, where Natsume is driven off the wall and has no option but to rely on his friends to save him. He can’t save everybody and he also needs saving. So there. But Nyanko-sensei won’t make Natsume’s reputation any better.
I call it a novelty. But it’s funny that old games that I can remember, some of it being Final Fantasy has this instances where you are given dialogue choices that doesn’t really doesn’t branch out into anything. Like this one for example, where it gives you an option to choose not to drink the tea, but it forces you to drink it no matter what. As a player, I know that there is something wrong with it, but I am forced to drink it in order for the story to be presented. This comes from an industry that attributed to Visual Novels which mainly value on the gravity of the player choices over the course of an entire game.
Happy 23rd Birthday Hanazawa Kana-san!
