Hunter x Hunter #01 — …Please Stop Shouting At Me
October 1st, 2011
This ED makes my ears cry.
Oh yeah, this show. Almost forgot it existed. Also, Phi Brain airs in about 7 hours. I’ll be asleep then. I’ll get to it whenever I wake up.
Impressions:
Man, what do you want from me? It’s a Saturday Sunday morning cartoon. Yeah, sometimes they put out stuff like ZKC and Cross Game, but it’s rare. And coming from Jump? Forgeddabout it. It was certainly better than the last couple of these I remember watching, but since those are Beelzebub and Toriko, I’m not sure that’s really saying much. I also think they jumped over quite a bit at the start, which is probably a good thing, but my memory of the original series isn’t great since I didn’t really pay it much attention back when I ‘watched’ it years ago either. Everybody’s off on their adventure to become hokage by traveling to the world of eggs, Huevo Mundo, so they can catch them all and become Hunter King, or something like that.
Anyway, fairly poor production across the board, as you’d probably expect. Unambitious art and relatively mediocre animation… but still more animated than F-Zero was even during its obligatory info dump at the start! Tsk tsk, UFOTable. Outdone by Jump. You should feel ashamed. Anyway, the point that I’m not-so-eloquently dancing around is that it was about as one would expect and did little particularly new or different from all its other Sunday morning brethren. The music’s kind of nice though, except for that horrible horrible ED. I only ripped it out to subject the same pain upon others as I have had to endure. And that’s without even commenting on Hisoka’s incredible glowing penis.
Preview:
A disturbing lack of pedophile clowns.

…I was afraid noone else would notice about Hisoka’s glowing genitals.
I thought it was just my mind playing tricks on me.
