Gon damn near getting kidnapped and taken for ransom if not harvested in episode 2 due to how gullible he is had me dead lol. Without leorio, gon was food to the savages in the greater world outside of his town. This would really be the situation to all these shonen mcs going on an adventure
Gon lowkey already has shown some of his lack of fukks given. I don't think hes even ATTEMPTED to block or dodge an attack yet. He just trusts that he wont get in trouble. When going 1v1 with netero, netero was thinking "he's going to cave his own head in for this game I made up to pass the time. WTF is wrong with him
"
After watching the first 2 phases, I think I prefer the 90s version of the hunters exam so far. Its slightly slower, but it makes a lot more sense and still paces well. They give the ninja (hanzo) a lot more attention. When watching the 2011 version I paid him no mind until the last phase, but here he an active part of the story and it's immediately clear that he's better than the other applicants.
Phase 2 had the 2 gourmet chefs do separate tests instead of 1. This way buhara's test still involves pork but menchi could make a whole new test from scratch. Since everyone passed the first person (buhara), Menchi designed a test to filter out bums, so she made it more difficult than buhara's on purpose. Menchi's test was to make sushi, which none of them outside of the ninja really knows, and kurapika is only other person to have even heard of it. Since they had no idea what they were doing until the ninja raged at her and exposed the recipe, she was failing everyone for not even shaping it correctly. By the time they learned what sushi was, it was already too late. This makes wayyy more sense than just saying everyone's pork sucks like they did in the 2011 version and explains why netero had to ask her to demonstrate the test instead of giving them something they never heard of with 0 context.
Killua's backstory with the zoldyks and even his characterization is taken more seriously and they even added a whole plotline with a failed applicant trying to get revenge on the killua for what the zoldyks do. Killua seems nerfed so far though since he was creating after images and one-shotting people who got near him in 2011 but he's not doing that now.
Maybe I was stanning the wrong version this whole time
Mezzo Forte, the animation is better than 80% of the shyt that comes out now
