Late comer to the thread and I can't ever tell if people are joking about wanting Leorio attention.

My wildly speculative reading of it is that Ging is basically serving the role of "Gon after a time skip" at this point. Gon's story is over but Togashi wanted to show what Gon at the prime of his hunter career would be like and the kind of stuff he would get himself into and that's basically what Ging's DC adventure will be. It was a clever way for Togashi to have his cake and eat it too by getting to see future Gon (via Ging) doing peak hunter stuff but not having to undo the consequences of CA arc on Gon.

I heard somewhere that his nen has the properties of both rubber and gum, so he can probably become a hairball pretty easily.

If Togashi just did DC as well as he did CA and retired I'd be happier with that as an end to HxH than it continuing after his death under a less amazing writer wrapping up all the loose threads. He's only 51, he can at least get through that.

Mulderman posted:I never really understood why people consider Gon likable. Agreed, among all the main characters he has always seemed to me the most explicitly more of a prop for deconstructing typical shonen protagonists than a real, fleshed out character. You could certainly read him as a typical shonen protagonist "played straight," but for the reasons you listed and basically everything he did in the CA arc I think Togashi pretty strongly drew him as showing how that type of character is problematic when the world doesn't contort itself to make their mary sue decisions consequence-free.

That'd really put a bummer on my headcanon this is a hisoka-zoldyck plot to kill the spiders which then gets hisoka promoted to the new monkey zodiac so he can join pariston and ging's clubhouse

The rookie crusher, head of the secret fourth crime family, makes his presence known along with his 5 tiers of underbosses, all of whom are named and have nen powers based on talking a lot.

Blood guy is disguised Hisoka using texture surprise on bungee gum to make it look like blood. The IV is filled with shalnark's blood becaused hosed up yo. The mere presence of clone powers makes HxH strictly worse than Naruto and no amount of qualification can ever ever change that.

[The deep end] is a podcast about adult swim's history featuring a lot of the writers and their episode on YYH is really good. Fun mix of professional insider stuff and people just excited to talk about their personal formative media.

On was hilarious because it just shows the writers didn't look at the source material at all. Same as using Netero as a kind wise old man type.

No Wave posted:I think his art is pretty amazing... Not just the turkey, I don't think anyone else could have drawn Gon vs Nefelpitou or Fei Tan vs Lizard Queen like he did. I'll admit there hasn't been anything since CA that made me think he had to be the one illustrating it though. Hisoka v Chrollo was such a wonderfully top to bottom Togashi experience

I mean Togashi dying is probably the only way this gets finished, not saying hoping for it but it's not like I won't read it if that's what happens

That reminds me, I watched 99 last year for the first time with the understanding it went through Greed Island, but it turns out that's not entirely accurate and it actually ends abruptly like 80% through Yorknew, almost-but-not-quite-getting-to the resolution of the Spiders arc. After that there was a series of OVAs released years later carrying it the rest of the way, but honestly they were too hard to find and I gave up before even getting to Gon and Killua bumping into Feitan and Phinks at the auction. Just bewildering that the full 99 seemed almost unfindable - I agree with the popular sentiment that 2011 almost fully eclipses 99, but it's still a series that tends to inspire rabid fan loyalty and the 99 series definitely appeals to anyone just looking for "more" HxH.

Nuebot posted:Much like YYH before it, I feel like the series found a perfect ending point and then just continued on even though it didn't need to. In this case, if it had stopped when Gon finally met Ging atop that big rear end tree, I would have been happy and content with this as a series. For YYH, was that after Dark Tournament or Chapter Black?

After you finish the anime you should continue with the manga. There's not thaaat much more and it covers some of the stuff that's been building up since early on, including my personal favorite shonen fight of all time. The current arc is also many people's favorite and very much has a similar energy and scope to chimera ant.

Pitou was drawn much more androgynously in the manga than the anime and so was subject to fan speculation about trans stuff. Kurapika is also very androgynous and this gets lampshaded in Yorknew. Basically Togashi has been interested in incorporating gender stuff in his works since at least early Yu Yu Hakusho, and on average it's handled... ahead of the curve in sophistication for the time it is published but behind the curve for the time it tends to reach a critical mass of audiences actually seeing it? I'm sure beyond "the handling of that one trans character in YYH has aged like milk" this topic might get pretty divisive pretty quick. Edit: you sniped one of my points while I was typing
