Hunter

Manga Discussion

Well, this seems to be quite a popular manga in here in OA (and one of the best currently running shounens) so i felt with its return and all (yea i'm about 6 weeks late...i know) it should finally get its own thread.

Current Releases

Japan-Chapter 286 Main Body

Japan- Volume 26 Reunion

America-Volume 23 6: Part 1

and on the DVD front...America- Hunter x Hunter Season 1 Box Set hits the stores a month from today ^_^

Gon Freecs, a young boy living with his aunt on Whale Island, thought his father to be dead. That is until a chance meeting with the Hunter Kaito. It is through Kaito that Gon learns of the rich legacy of Hunters, people whom explore the unknown aspects of the world in all its facets. Gon also learns that his father, Jin Freecs, is not only alive but is in fact the greatest Hunter in the world. It is with this knowledge that Gon ventures out into the world with the goal of becoming a Hunter and finding the whereabouts of his father, all the while making several friends and having many adventures of his own. 

Rules;

1. Keep the spoilers under control: Try to give everyone a chance to read the chapter before you start posting "ZOMFG GON'S DAD IS REALLY HISOKA!?!?". So basically i'd say give it around a day or so after the chapters been out, than you can freely discuss stuff.

2. Attempt to stay on topic: fun HxH related spam type stuff=fine. page long discussions about the complexity of biological engineering=not fine. You all know how it works

3. no flamming, spamming, chatting, etc...

4. Not really a rule but....Since HxH is finally hitting the shore over here on the anime front, Discussing the anime in here is perfectly fine as well

alright with all the formalities out of the way lets get on with this thing....

starting off topics

Favorite character?

Favorite arc?

Favorite fight?

As for current stuff. Last saturday's chapter in my opinion was the first good one since the revival. We finally got a glimpse of Gon and he appears to be in full badass mode ^_^

last chapter was 286 right?

lol I cant believe this manga hasnt hit 300 already

[DreamTheater2112]

yupz...its cuz Togashi is a lazy ho faise >_>

anywho uh as for them ice breaker topic questions

Character: Hisoka, he's just so awesomely pyschotic. Killua would definately have to take second

Arc: Spider 

Fight: uhhh lets see. The dodgeball match on Greed Island was cool. Gon vs Hisoka was pretty neat. Kurapica vs. Ubogin (sp?) was awesome as well

[JusticeGundam]

This thread is kind of useless because Togashi is just going to go on another break for a year... but good effort

But... but... but... I love biological engineering

Gon and Hisoka are my favorite characters. Sakura is to loli; as Gon is to shouta.

Hisoka is just amazing and relentless... 

Yorkshin/Genei ryodan arc is my favorite. Every episode was like a roller coaster ride.

I dunno about favorite fight. The one between Knuckle and Yupi is pretty good.... if only it wasn't so dragged out >_<

yea i know but eh...HxH deserves a thread...a year from now i'll just revive this suckah XD

...TOUGH COOKIES ONLY MECHANICAL ENGINEERING IS ALLOWED IN HERE!

Although i think all the arcs were excellent the Ryodan one is just far superior. The Exam arc worked great as an intro. Greed Island was awesome only the ending let me down, and the Chimera ant arc starting of amazing but its just been dragged out far too long, it needs an epic ending to help kinda redeem itself

Mechanical engineering is so boring.

The ideas of biology are essential to our lives. Without it, we cannot function as a society. Mechanical engineering is based off of a bunch of theories and physics. Mechanical engineering does have its positive aspects, but I personally believe that  it will led to mans eventual downfall. The creation of robots, for example, will enable human beings to fight each other without actually getting hurt. The reliance on such things is harmful to our society. Mechaniclal engineering was once an art I highly respected, but looking at the bigger picture, I can see that it is an useless art that has evolved too far. Human beings have been around longer than anyone can imagine. We have survived all this time without a reliance on such useless technology. Biological engineering helps usunderstand the world around us even more, and helps us develop things that will make human society prosper in the near future.

That's all I gotta say.

Chimera Ant arc had some major potential, but these breaks just about killed an arc that had a chance at being amazingly awesome.

....hmm i best be changing my major than

Mechanical engineering will always be necessary tho....that's all i'll say

Yea, the breaks, and artwork really killed it for me at parts...but like i said, if this thing ends right, its definately gonna put up a fight with the Ryodan arc

[Maki_Ichinose]

My fav fight was probably.. Feitan vs The Queen ant

[DreamTheater2112]

....we need another arc vs. the Ryodan...now that Gon and Killua could actually put up a fight....

[JusticeGundam]

Ugh... I can handle calculus.... but physics with calculus? >.> ugh...

I wonder what happened to the King. Togashi has done a great job keeping that a secret.

[DreamTheater2112]

..i was down to electrical and mechanical...and i can't stand circuits...i still got plenty of time to shuffle around in the general field...i hope >_<

 Netero already whopped his arse...

[JusticeGundam]

The breaks have seriously ruined their development. I remember when they were weak and helpless against the spiders. Seeing the two grow up is one of the best parts of the whole series. The breaks have ruined it though. Killua has just started to use his ability and Gon is in the process of making it stronger. I hope Togashi doesn't take another break, and goes on with it.

Did Togashi ever announce how many chapters he will make for this run?

lol they'd put up a fight but still get mollywhopped

[JusticeGundam]

But have we seen the Kings body?

Everything seems to point towards his defeat, but then again, looks can be deceiving

Hunter x Hunter chapter 287

-Yupi is nearing his end. Hopefully he will be defeated next chapter. His interest  is ridiculous right now. There's always the possibility that he defeats Morau and Knuckle.. but I hope he doesn't.

- The King and Netero still haven't begun their fight. The King recognizes Netero's strength, but has already claimed victory. The King is usually c0cky, so it'll be fun to see how this turns out.

- Gon is such a fricken man. I'm surprised Pouf hasn't tried to pull a smart one on Gon, and in return get annhilated. 

Dunno if I've missed anything O_o

[DreamTheater2112]

I doubt Yupi's gonna win...i really hope he doesn't i really don't like the guy >_<

Gon in badass mode=win....i need some Killua action tho

yahooooooo for the Netero fight finally starting

[Maki_Ichinose]

you and the Killua action

I want some King vs Netero next chapt

NOTHING but Kng vs Netero

[DreamTheater2112]

I <3 electricity...and Killua is badass so...double win ^_^

yea I'm game for that

[JusticeGundam]

I almost have a heart attack every week during this time.

I always say to myself, "will this be the week HxH goes on another hiatus?"

 Just looked around and it isn't.

Some pretty interesting things go on in this chapter.... REALLY interesting

[DreamTheater2112]

nah he'll wait till the climax of Gon and Pitou's fight...and then go on break...and then i'll kill myself >_<

o really
