HxH eps 44-50
what can I say, brehs. It's lived up to the massive hype so far
(yes, yes, "Chimera Ant arc"
)
Kurapika. A.K.A. "The Illest nikka in Nebraska". Look how far this cat has come. Look how far he's willing to go for revenge.
The Phantom Troupe: A team of villains done right. They don't seem like a team of bad guys just hanging out for mutual gain. They seem like a family. Their reaction at Uvogin simply being late. Chrollo's reaction at their collective fears being confirmed. Chrollo basically throwing his fallen comrade a second line to see him off, by causing as much chaos as possible. Honestly, the whole run of scenes with Chrollo and Neon's "date" was BEAUTIFULLY done.
Hisoka: I think he getting played.
Gon and Killuya: Arm Wrasslin.
I'm glad they got that over with. I like how they showed the gap between where Kurapika and them are. They KNEW they were outclassed dealing with the Troupe. Kurapika.... not so much.
The art and music have been fukking great. The sight of Yorknew City at night is damn near as good as CLAMP at their best. That moody, atmospheric music. That hazy filter giving everything a noir feel
This is just a blanket post covering how much I've enjoyed the individual eps. Although I kinda feel like the whole series may have been spoiled in this thread, and the fact that I may be the only person here who hasn't watched this, I kinda feel like I'm watching a VERY good movie and I'm only 1/2 way done.
edit: oh. Killua's Dad and Granddad showed up
