Vividred: + Show Spoiler + I was about to dismiss this episode as a typical beach fanservice episode, but then ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/dmuOjVP.jpg) and ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1O70nkV.jpg) So this episode managed to satisfy me. | ||

Still have the nagging feeling that Kurapika is not a boy and will at some point reveal he is a girl. I think I felt the same way when I watched the original anime, had to check online to actually confirm he is a boy. I was actually disappointed when I found he was a boy. HxH really suffers from a lack of significant female characters, especially in the first arcs and Kuraprika being a girl would have easily fixed this (and it's not as though he acts particularly masculine anyway, so it wouldn't have made much of a difference story-wise). | ||

I honestly do not think it suffers from it. It's a nice break and it's very refreshing to see a shonen focusing only on the manly side of things. HxH is the thing I look forward to the most every week, even more so than R;N or PP. That said, + Show Spoiler [R;N] + Pretty good episode, dealing with the fallout of the last one. It was nicely established just how fucked things were, with the club disbanding and all. And then Kai went full protag mode and fixed everything. I like how it lead to him downloading the (possibly .exe or .bat) last Kimijima Report. You know shit is going to get real next episode (though I have this feeling every week) | ||

Well, as he is just a Kurama clone, it's not surprising at all. In YuYu Hakusho we only had Botan (mah) Genkai (wtf) Mukuro (lol) anyway I guess you suppose to read sailor moon to balance it out. | ||

The animation quality is excellent now, trust me. Especially + Show Spoiler + Gon vs Hisoka in Heaven tower It's currently in + Show Spoiler + Greed Island. They met the blond haired loli some time ago and trained under her. Training is over, they decide to go clear the game, Killua did Hunter exam, Bomber killed everyone and is going to make a trade, Spider learn that the guy to remove Nen is in Greed Island. | ||

I know the quality in art drops heavily in the manga, could you possibly be meaning that? That should make no difference in the art of the anime. | ||

Though some fights are great it lacks the ingenuity and adventurous feeling of all the previous ones. It's also the one during which the author got badly sick I've been told which might have affected his writing. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Mandatory beach episode. So much fanservice. So many buttons were pushed ("do not push" = guarantee to be pushed). Seeing grandpa weasel go into villain mode was pretty entertaining. Rei becomes a fork+knife ninja. This episode... lol. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + K, the characters are fun, but I'm really getting tired of these 1-2 chapter arcs. Can't we get a look into his background yet? I mean, maybe this'll be the kickoff for something bigger, but I feel like we're going to clean up this whole "brother" arc in like 2 more chapters, tops. I hope I'm wrong, because there's a lot of potential here, but I don't know :\ | ||

Assassination Classroom kind of promised this big buildup with an interesting background and lots of room for character growth and then... just kind of did nothing with it. Makes me sad. | ||

It definitely was a whole lot better than what it could have been. Vivid Ferret trolling the hell out of everyone, HomuFate turning into a ninja, Giant Robots show up, the buttons, lol. | ||
