Do you guys personally say the x or not? For me when I say it out loud it's without the x but whenever I read it in my head I always end up pronouncing the x :P

Same here.

I just got used to read the x when I was reading the manga.

Then I watched the anime and realised it was pronounced "Hanta Hanta" but it was too late for me xD

Saying the x sounds stupid to me. Hunter Hunter is faster.

I wouldn't pronounce the x in contexts such as 'carrot x rabbit' or 'Kurapika x Leorio' either.

Without the X is the right form, that's a fact.

The question is if we say it the right form or not.

Why would they even include it in the title if it weren't supposed to be there?

haha, was thinking about this myself.. And a lot of episodes goes something x something x something..
So I tend to think: If we multiply this with this, then this episode should idd turn out to be awesome!

Also, OT: I pronounce it "Hunter x Hunter", just got stuck with it.

I've seen those x's used like that when they are couples or pairing. Hunter x Hunter might be Gon x Killua.

By are silent letters in words if they are silent? Whyyyy so silent son?

It also means Hunter vs Hunter so that's what the x might stand for, but it has no real meaning hence the silence

I've always said it. I felt stupid at some point for it and wondered why I said the X when I never read it as "Hunter X Hunter" in the anime at all, and I also think it was said like "Hunter Hunter" in the show.. but whatever, I still say it.

Earlier I used to say X, but after watching second episode's title, I changed to non-X.

Not sure about the foreign fans, but the Japanese fans never pronounce the 'x'.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I forget where I hear this.. but yes they are intended to be silent. I think he just thought it looked cool.. or something.. I forget the actual reason though.
