    Well, not even Gon is entirely free from screen time loss.

    I wish the story had followed Leorio instead of Gon. Or even had more focus on Kurapika.

    Basically anyone but Gon.

    And the greed island arc is so....just, bad and boring but it introduces one of the best characters in the series and has exactly one good mini-arc in it.

    And then after that is the arc that is the reason to watch HxH!

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    I mean the cast progresses to using Nen and fighting bad guys who are like infinitely powerful catastrophic world ending threats

    And Leorio is like.... a doctor

    I dunno, the manga arc that focus on Kurapika is the most boring, self-indulgent part of the entire series. Whenever he's around the place slows to a crawl as he obsesses over possibilities and outcomes.

    When Leorio does show back up he does the best thing in the whole show

    Ah, yeah
    It introduces Nen Stands....but also when someone first showed my a page from that arc it nearly turned me off the whole series because it was an entire page of WORDSWORDSWORDSWORDSWORDSWORDSWORDS to the point where you could barely see the head of who was talking

    I'm not even through the first arc and I can already tell this will be awful

    The idea of a Kurapika arc sounds as appealing as watching an infomercial

    And not one of the fun ones where they're cooking stuff, but one for like

    Fancy space age towels

    Serial Experiments Lain is pretty terrifying, actually.

    The trick is to just watch one or two episodes at a time instead of trying to binge it.

    I think Kurapika is fine but he's definitely the least interesting to me of The Boys

    I like Gon in spite of him being a fucking dolt-ass motherfucker

    I was about to say it’s just horror themed in the usual Castlevania manner, and then I remembered the way it shows those nightly demon attacks.

    GeGeGe no Kitaro is a Sunday morning shonen series based on Japanese folklore but it occasionally throws outs stuff like the ghost train(ep7) that is pretty fucked up.

    I was just reflecting on what I've watched in the last year and a half or so and realized how little A tier stuff CR gets to license anymore. I think the only show I watched there in that time I thought was good was Mob Psycho 100 season 2, and then I also watch One Piece out of some kind of masochistic boredom occasionally. Other than that I just keep going back to check the site each week out of sheer habit.

    If they don't manage to get rights for Dragon Ball Super 2 or whatever it'll be called I wonder if it'll just die?

    Been thinking about The Big O since it's turning 20 in 2 days, and is there an earlier example of a western studio/media outlet working with a Japanese studio to produce more seasons or major content like Cartoon Network did with Sunrise for The Big O season 2?

    I can't think of anything like that offhand, at least not before The Big O.
