| Good stuff! Not as much tension as the last episode, but still enjoyable. |
| I have no problem with the OP or ED |

Candor said: edl01 said: It probably was sudden, Togashi got sick and wasn't able to continue Yorkshin, so he took a break, dunno what actually happened though.Candor said: The first OVA series (first 8 episodes) were the conclusion of Yorkshin and the prologue of Greed Island. It stopped because Togashi started taking breaks and hiatuses. So what, they were already starting up the york new arc when he took this break or had they started the york new arc fully aware they wouldn't be able to finish it? Because I admit if the former is the case I will take back what I said and admit I was ill informed. York Shin OVAS and the 99 series were about 6 months apart. Maybe it was because of Togashi's continuous breaks( he stays much more time in breaks than working) or maybe they wanted to end the York Shin arc with the cuality that only the OVAS can have. The last option is pretty normal in anime, Hellsing or Black Lagoon OVAS are apart of their main series anda are way better(and the anime of Black Lagoon is very good) . In any case, the best part of York Shin arc begins now and I hope Madhouse can meet my expectatives and do even better than Nippon Animation, but I know its going to be hard. |

And as far as the Nobunaga scene not being touching...meh. How much pity can you have for a fucking mass murderer? I, personally, have none, but if he were you know...NOT a monster, I could've totally been touched by that scene. Personally I liked Gon's response more. "Why can't you spare a little of that grief for all the people you've killed?!" Yeah. Boss. Gon's a weird guy, but he's what makes this series so interesting. |

Look at their forum, where bunch of virgin people RATE IT 5 Stars because of a Kissing sense and post a HUGE PARAGRAPH to discuss about it. SAO ended in 1 episode, so freaking fast and LAME. The fight wasnt even last for 2 minutes. 80% people like it because it's cute and they dont even care about the story line... Kawaii~ desu ne~! |

The purpose of that scene is to make the reader/viewer aware that The Troupe isnt your tipical mangaanime villians. That they are not really that bad, that they also have feelings. And that scene was awfuly done. And you call them monsters and Mass murderers...Do you realize that Killua has Killed a lot of inocent people for money? He is also a mass murderer and a monster? And Kurapika? He also has Killed people, and he works for the mafia, and the mafia does a lots of awful things. In HxH good people and bad people dont exist. Just exists different people with different agendas(that includes the troupe members, Gon & Killua and every character in the series) |

| @Sageshinigami I wouldn't call it great. If you watched the older anime/read the manga of HxH, you'd be familiar with Greed Island I suppose...That is what SAO will probably never be. And I was a fool to think it would be after watching episode 1 of SAO which promised a lot. The rest was just some generic, episodic problems. Fights weren't good, story wasn't good, romance is lame and "just there" The fact that it will be 25/26 episodes is bad news. 25 episodes are short to being with and anime is rarely any good at that length, with few exceptions(Like the anime being a short twist-y mind-f**king anime or the story is simple and short). And SAO is now 14 episodes in with not much offered. |

It wasn't meant to make you feel sorry for him, he's not some itachi/pain(or every other naruto villain) who's just a good guy who was misunderstood/had to do bad things...It's supposed to make him look selfish. At first Gon thought those guys just had an instinctive urge to kill (kinda like Dexter lol) and they just don't understand that what they're doing is wrong. So he doesn't really blame them that much, but now seeing that they DO know what it feels to lose someone, which makes him a hypocrite seeing how he doesn't feel for anyone he kills other than his own friends. |

So people are obviously surprised by Kirito x Asuna's romance, I don't blame them. It's refreshing to see that in an anime such as SAO. |

I didnt feel sorry for him and i dont think i have missed the point. You are analizing the scene by Gon PoV. In my PoV that scene is important because it shows that Nobunaga isnt a Bad guy just for the Lulz like the 90% of mangaanime villians are. Is to make people realize that Nobunaga Kills people and has no remorses, BUT he still has feelings for his friends and comrades. In Gon PoV he is selfish, in my PoV he is a better villian than the average because the scene shows that for someone who is a killer, he still has feelings, he still can cry, and he still cares for some things. So it shows tha Nobunaga isnt a Monster, and shows that he has some humanity. And It helps to understand what Togashis intentions are: To show that The bad boys arent that bad and that the good boys arent that good. That the term of good or bad depends of how you look at things. |

| pretty late... but still awesome ep even though i know i basically know whats gonna happen... i think compared to the 99 ver, MH did a really good job depicting that particular scene plus the emotion of the spiders... i think Hisoka realized too that Killua figured out who the chain user is that's why he went out of his way to point a card at him... |

So he doesn't really blame them that much, but now seeing that they DO know what it feels to lose someone, which makes him a hypocrite seeing how he doesn't feel for anyone he kills other than his own friends. Isn't Gon more of a hypocrite though? He deliberately let the blue cloak guy be killed by Hisoka so he could get his badge. And he doesn't feel anything for the three guys Killua kills in the exam either. But here we're expected to agree with Gon that you should care about people you kill. Nope, the Hunter Exam is about putting your life on the line, in order to become a Hunter. Everyone taking part is well aware of that fact and Gon excepted it as the rule. But here Gon is criticizing the Troupe for murdering the innocent. Like Kurapika's Kurta clan for example. @Mikasa I wouldn't say "hypocrite" is the right term for Nobunaga. He doesn't say "the people that kill my friends are bad and only I am allowed to feel sad about a friends' death". He's just selfish, as you've also mentioned. |

It's mostly cocktease from different girls. In SAO, there ARE a bunch of girls, but Kirito is always set on only Asuna from the beginning. |

| nezumi time for kiru~ and gon <.<; |
 ssf4ae (pc) : misterCybou sc2 : CybE // 665 |
| since finished this episode but I just love the beginning when Killua gets Hisouka's message but Gon acts surprised to see him and almost blows his cover |
| Why the fuck are people talking about SAO in this discussion? Annoying. Good episode, I'm looking forward to the next stuff for sure. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| That side-stepping. Haha. And never thought that Nobunaga and Uvo were close. |
| Oh man, that arm wrestling contest was tense. This episode was tense. Can't believe a spider would fall for such a simple trick though. |
 |
| The opening changed a part of the clip and showed all the Spiders. LOOOL when the song says (you can smile) it showed Uvo smiling XD |
| Damn talk about a great escape, I really like Gon's speech about sparing thoughts for those the troupe killed. |
 |
| great character development here despite a slowish episode i love how blatantly self-centred gon is. hes basically like, "let me be the big damn hero!" but in the sweet and earnest way of a child who doesnt know better. its really intriguing. also poor killua. because of his upbringing he constantly undermines himself as a friend, when imo killua is the best friend you could ask for. it takes him a lot to give a shit about you, but once he does, hed walk through fire. killua never wants to leave gon behind (see the nen waiting period) and doesnt have any self interests so he pursues all of gons for him. cant wait till he realizes he isnt as shitty as his brother would have him think he is. also so much exposure to the phantom troupe is making me sad to lose them. cause obviously theyre going down, they just seem more human while doing so. but in real life serial killers are the most charismatic, so whatever. |
| hahaha so even Hisoka can break a sweat huh?? that was funny! epic escape!! even I was fooled by them. |
 |
| Welp. That was totally worth backtracking for. Suddenly the coin toss last episode makes sense. And Nobunaga's obsession w/ avenging Uvo. Love the Killua character struggle, and how Gon supported him by establishing roles: Let me do what I'm good at so YOU can do what you're good at. Friendship so strong, so bromantic~ yaddayadda said: ^ Basically this.i love how blatantly self-centred gon is. hes basically like, "let me be the big damn hero!" but in the sweet and earnest way of a child who doesnt know better. its really intriguing. also poor killua. because of his upbringing he constantly undermines himself as a friend, when imo killua is the best friend you could ask for. it takes him a lot to give a shit about you, but once he does, hed walk through fire. killua never wants to leave gon behind (see the nen waiting period) and doesnt have any self interests so he pursues all of gons for him. cant wait till he realizes he isnt as shitty as his brother would have him think he is. |
