    Yeah I saw this around yesterday, considering the source on the crunchyroll article is a tweet by the account for the movie I’m wondering if these will even be subtitled.

    been rewatching Hunter x Hunter

    the ending of episode 53 has to be among my favorite moments in the series
    Kurakpika sulking in a corner as a bratty teen plays with the eyes of his dead family member is great

    "kurapika is drowning in an unspeakable emptiness"

    take that you little shit
    Wait, I remember that line; wasn't that after he had actually recovered (what he thought was) a set of the eyes, and was losing it because he thought the Phantom Troupe was dead before he could get to do anything about them?

    Which, yeah, revenge is empty, but I feel more sad about him than anything else.

    that's exactly it
    I just hate Kurapika so I think it's funny when he's sad

    I hate victims of genocide too

    In all seriousness, my issue is that we never really see Kurapika with his family.

    So I have no emotional connection there

    We do see
    The friendship between the Troupe, and the grief they go through when Uvogin and Pakunoda are killed

    So I end up sympathizing with them, even though I know they’re monsters and are unquestionably in the wrong.

    I know it’s a bit weird

    There's actually a "volume" 0 for the HxH manga which revolves around Kurapika's life before the event, if you are interested you can try hunting it down
    The troupe were pretty brutal towards Kurapika's clan even by their standards I feel for some reason

    Well, usually the troupe just kills. They want you dead, you die. Bang. The most sadistic kills we see in the Yorknew arc involve Shalnark's remote control ability forcing a dude to kill his friends while aware of everything, and Chrollo using Indoor Fish on that dude who challenged him. Granted, they're not at all above killing in creative ways when they feel like it, but it seems that they're usually rather abruptly deadly when they're not torturing someone for answers.

    When they slaughtered the Kurta clan, it was torture all the way. In order to make their eyes turn red before death, they tortured and killed them in front of each other so as to put them in as much emotional agony as possible. And they did it on a whim; they already steal enough valuable stuff to be set for life if they cared about money (and the fact that they're stealing some of the eyes later on tells me they didn't even care enough about the results to sell them).

    They are scum.

    Whoa, wait, "Jiblee"? I always thought it was a hard g like in 'ghost', because of the gh?

    I used to think the same thing. But then I heard folks saying it in documentaries and well, if you can read katakana...

    株式会社スタジオブリ

    the studio's namesake is an italian plane with an arabic name

    on the topic of madoka i was gonna post these after isorn had returned but i found these video essays last week and they're definitely worth a watch (spoilers obvi)

    I watched the 2 Madoka recap movies as well for some of the new fancy backgrounds/transformations. Felt like rewatching the show straight away anyway so that worked out well. I really liked the opening song for the recap movies as well.

    Finished Rebellion just now. Certainly a visual delight. Spend some time reading up on some of the things and the ending of Rebellion.
    Loved the cake bit.
    Mami vs Homura was amazing.
    I can't say exactly how I feel about the ending. I definitely don't hate it. I might lean towards the Homura did nothing wrong camp.
    Seeing a sad little Kyuubey in the post-credit scene did make me pretty happy.

    That was all very fun though.
    And Madoka as a whole has such a fantastic soundtrack. Love it.

    What I like about Kurapika is that he kinda turns to some dark stuff to make his goal happen, but he doesn’t turn against his friends to do it.

    He does isolate himself from them for a long while, but he doesn’t go full Sasuke.

    MHA Vigilantes suggests that some unauthorized power use is kind of a slap on the wrist type situation, and some is more like knocking over a convenience store, depending on what you did, precisely.

    I think it's mainly that heroes are the only ones allowed to use their powers liberally. Everyone else is probably supposed to limit it to home or work. I can't imagine society not taking advantage of useful quirks - Uraraka has a scene mentioning she uses hers to help at the family business iirc?

    MHA quirk laws are basically just "Sensible Gun Control Regulation" in a world where 80% of everybody is born with something between a derringer and a tactical nuke they can't get rid of.

    I think the only bit I find really weird is that there doesn't seem to be any kind of "driver's license" kind of thing for people who have mobility powers to be able to use them. Like, if you can go on traffic on a bicycle, why couldn't you do the same when your legs turn into wheels or you can slide at 30 mph or some shit. It would seem like a license with a bunch of checkboxes you have to fit to be allowed to just use your mobility on the street would be an obvious thing to do, but far as I can tell the law is minimal Quirk use in public spaces.

    Fugou Keiji: Balance:Unlimited remaining episodes will air in July due to delays.

    Promised Neverland season 2 is delayed until early next year.

    At this point I assume basically every show this year is going to be delayed. More time for the good old backlog I guess.

    I think Gon's probably slightly ahead of Leorio on the "not an awful person" scale, but just slightly.

    Well hey, that arm-wrestling scheme was sort of on the level. There's no hidden rules; wrestle the kid, get some shiny things. If people keep underestimating Gon after he takes down a dozen people in a row, that's kind of on them.

    ...Well, I say that, but the group does play up the underestimating angle by having Gon sandbag his matches a bit before easily winning. But everyone's still seeing him win match after match.

    One of the themes of HxH is that a world where Hunters exist is going to be very fucked up with very fucked up people.
