Hunter x Hunter - Reaction - E76 - Reunion X And X Understanding

[@DatVideoDoe]

In Greek mythology, a chimera is a fire-breathing female monster with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail. It’s also generally used within media to mean when some creature is a combination of more than 1 type of creature.

I wish you would do 2 episodes a week of this arc. It’s pretty long one.

If they do 1 episode a week they will took forever to finish. 3 episodes for week i think is the best from now on.

[@TheDudeDiary]

They do mention Gon’s relationships with animals in this version though. Remember when he thought he’d be able to get through to Mike (the Zoldyck family watchdog) so the security guard showed Gon the dog so that Gon would understand that Mike was nothing like the animals that Gon was used to and could build a relationship with. Also the whole Hunter - Animal relationship is basically saying that Animals like good hunters because a good hunter is essentially a part of nature. So I’m a way an animal views a hunter as one of its own, however, whilst this is a philosophy echoed by Kite and a few other characters it’s not exactly a law either. It’s just something that certain hunters who think in similar ways tend to notice or come across (trying to be as vague as possible), but there are other hunters who embody pretty much the polar opposite of this and are still great hunters…it’s more like a school of thought that comes from one martial arts dojo, but there are many different styles of martial arts and dojos with different practices and ideals.

[@TheDudeDiary]

"Hunter" as a profession in HxH doesn't necessarily mean animal hunter so it doesn't really conflict with being liked by animals. We've met gourmet hunters, bounty hunters, treasure hunters etc. The term Hunter is more akin to "adventurer" who is good at fighting.

[@xblade11230]

Good arc but extremely poor implementation and too dragged out, needs the DragonBall super treatment because there's way too much standing around, and going through the thoughts of every character for everything little thing that happens

[@matt9618]

@@xblade11230 That’s what makes it great though. Everyone has their preferences, but you didn’t say it was bad, just that you don’t like the way it was written. Which is how Togashi writes if you look at the manga. It’s fine if you don’t enjoy reading, but you can’t deny it’s greatness

[@xblade11230]

@@matt9618 Nah it is very clear that around the Chimera Ant arc was when Togashi starting clocking out. The Chimera ant arc is when Togashi started his first 4-5 year break, and afterwards he moved to having absolutely no schedule and taking numerous other year long hiatuses This is btw where the hiatus x hiatus meme comes from Togashi stopped writing and people suspect that his assistants were just writing in bloat to fill up pages and chapters to get paid. So you have entire chapters where nothing happens and characters endlessly repeat what the reader already knows People that know him personally said he has suffered from burnout, and the random handful of chapters he releases every year is when he does find inspiration to resume the story

[@matt9618]

@@xblade11230 Yeah, anyone that reads the manga is well aware of the many hiatuses Togashi has taken as well as his current publishing status. That being said, this is more revolving around the anime adaptation, which in my opinion was done very well given the content they were to adapt. Everyone has their opinions, but you didn’t really provide any good logic for why you think the arc isn’t good other than “hiatus bad”

[@xblade11230]

@@matt9618 lol no the people who adapt it have strict orders like 2 chapters per episode , when they don't have enough material in the chapter you end up with characters staring at each other, flashbacks to previous events, throwing in other characters reacting. Now they need to make 2 chapters into an episode but both these chapters are just characters staring at each other. This is noticeably worse in one piece, since one piece is a weekly manga they are instructed to make 1 chapter 1 episode And when the chapter has a lot of fluff because assistants want to get paid , and the author has admitted that he lost his passion and stopped writing, you get the chimera ant arc

The way I see the animal lover thing is that Gon just loves everything of the forest, not just the animals for example his pet was an apex predator that probably kills its prey brutally and even though Gon probably loves those animals too, he just accepts it.

[@harperl2]

​@@matt9618 yeah, people forget what it's like to be a new anime if you were, relatively new. When I first started watching it back when I was a kid there's lots of things I got wrong and assumed and didn't understand just because of the conventional storytelling is a little different than what they may be used to. Especially with togashi himself and how he tells stories. I forgot how efficient he was in creating the world and plot. You have to really appreciate how much he's crammed in and how full of life the worlds and people themselves that he's created in this world. It gets hard to keep track of from time to time, especially with all the weird men applications that go along with all these new characters too. I'll let it slide because I know how it was when I first started it's hard to know all this stuff from the get-go and remember everything. But I can tell they really do enjoy the story and that's what it's all about.

[@TurrettiniPizza]

Not sure if anyone else pointed this out, but the 2011 anime changed things so that Kite and Gon forgot about each other in the first scene of this episode. In the manga, they immediately recognise each other.

[@anthonymartirez4002]

So, we're in this arc now. I suggest doing two episodes since one episode at a time will leave you with some great cliffhangers. This is a great arc when you get to the middle up to the end.

20:51 🤯 In general, this episode feels the most like a filler in the anime remake. It included a short backstory for Kite that was not in the manga and included several flashbacks that were not necessary. I especially was annoyed by how they claimed that every encounter was anticipated by Ging, which does not make sense how he would e.g. know which hunters he's going to meet. *SPOILER:* 12:04 21:53 🤭

This episode isn't really canon in the manga. In the manga, Kite is the first hunter we ever meet and he is the reason Gon learns about his dad. We then get to this scene, and in the manga Gon and Kite instantly recognize each other. This happened because the 2011 anime left out Kite's story in the first episode for no reason lol

[@Kunztmann]

the reason was, that the studio didin't know if they'll make it to this point in the anime, so hired a seiyu for just one episode and then re-cast him in episode 76, would have been a big risk.

[@blissx7556]

I don't really get how this far into the anime people can still be so frustrated with Ging. Unless it's just supposed to be funny to shit on Ging all the time, idk, lol. Before I continue, I will agree that it is wrong to have a child and abandon them. I'm not condoning it. But.. Gon has accepted that this is who is father is. Hell, it's hard to say he really even acknowledges him as a father figure because he always calls him "Ging", and rarely says father. He even said it feels more right to call him by his name. Gon's whole reason for wanting to find Ging is to ask him what was so important to him that it was worth abandoning his son. But Gon isn't coming at Ging from a place of hate.. He's coming at him from a place of wanting to understand. Gon got all the love and care he needed from Mito and his grandmother (or great grandmother? can't remember). He was clearly raised in a loving family just from the person we see he's already grown to be. So the reason I find it strange when people give Gon's dad so much hate is because Gon has accepted Ging for who is he. He has no hate in his heart towards him. Not once during any of the trials his dad set before him has Gon ever said anything negative about Ging. He just looks forward to the challenge. So why hate Ging when Gon doesn't hate Ging? It'd be like if you had a friend in real life who had a dad who abandoned them as a child but they've moved on and accepted that part of their life. It'd be strange to keep being like, "Aren't you upset?" "Don't you hate him?" "It really doesn't bother you?" .. That's like the feeling it gives me when I see people get so bothered with Ging. It's not really your place to be upset for Gon because Gon isn't upset himself. It'd be different if Gon talked about how it upset him that Ging left him. Or if every once in awhile Ging would do something to try and truly hurt Gon. But none of those things have happened. The only reason I mention this is because some of the reactors REALLY seem to be frustrated. Unless it's just acting that's going over my head, lol. Sorry if this comes off as offensive or blunt. I'm not trying to be.

[@Virgil_Hawkins]

I feel like it’s a normal reaction to dislike a deadbeat parent. They neglected their responsibilities. Even if the child doesn’t harbour any hatred, the child’s loved ones probably would do because they believe that the parent failed their child.

It really seems like you just don't understand how people form opinions of others. We all learn what kind of person Gon is so it's not surprising that he doesn't resent Ging.
