Hunter X Hunter 2011 – 131

May 28, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Hunter x Hunter, reviews
Comments (74)

Well, now – that certainly was a thing, wasn’t it. Before I begin, a confession: I was partially spoiled as to what was going to happen in today’s episode.  First by an intentional troll comment on RC two weeks ago, and then by images on my Twitter.  I managed to […] Read more

Hunter X Hunter Anime ***** Arc Announced

May 28, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Hunter x Hunter
Comments (3)

I suppose even the title is a spoiler, but don’t read below the fold (especially the cast list) if you don’t want to see some very general spoilers about the post “Chimera Ant” era. It’s been expected, but Madhouse announced casting for the Chairman Selection Arc today, which makes it […] Read more

A Thank You Haiku for Seishun

May 26, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedHaiku, Hunter x Hunter
Comments (9)

Haikyuu?  No, Haiku – Seishun requested a Hunter X Hunter triptych, so here you go (belatedly – sorry about that)… “STFU” “Hiatus x Hiatus”? I know you think you’re funny, But trust me – you’re not Read more

Hunter X Hunter 2011 – 130

May 21, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Hunter x Hunter, reviews
Comments (28)

I just had to let that one sink in for a bit. Normally the longer the buildup, the more likely the payoff is to be a letdown.  It’s an inevitable part of fiction of every stripe, anime not least.  But when you’re talking about Hunter X Hunter the normal rules […] Read more

Hunter X Hunter Poll: What’s Your Favorite Arc?

May 17, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Hunter x Hunter, Polls
Comments (18)

As if Meruem needed any more power-ups… No real surprises in the poll – I kind of figured “Chimera Ant” and “York Shin” would go 1-2.  I didn’t necessarily expect “Hunter Exam” to finish so far ahead of “Heaven’s Arena” – which I think is the most underrated arc in […] Read more

Hunter X Hunter 2011 – 129

May 14, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Hunter x Hunter, reviews
Comments (8)

Every so often Killua reminds us of the first line of my post from way back at Episode 33… This has been an amazing trip, this “Chimera Ant”.  I look back now and it’s been almost exactly a year since the journey started (Episode 76, to be precise) and to […] Read more

Hunter X Hunter 2011 – 128

May 7, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Hunter x Hunter, reviews
Comments (35)

Well, damn – I hardly know where to start with that one… This is a snippet of what I wrote two weeks ago, after the blooming of the miniature rose: I’m very, very reluctant to try and dig into the deeper meaning of what we saw…  It will simply invite […] Read more

Hunter X Hunter 2011 – 127

April 30, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Hunter x Hunter, reviews
Comments (31)

Not more damn analogies, Enzo! When literalism fails you, a writer must look elsewhere for means to get their point across.  Togashi-sensei, Koujina and Madhouse keep pushing me, forcing the linguistic equivalent of Chimera-paced evolution in the effort to communicate how mind-bogglingly good this series is.  And since Togashi himself […] Read more

Hunter X Hunter 2011 – 126

April 23, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Hunter x Hunter, reviews
Comments (56)

To try and do justice to “Chimera Ant” – how can it be done?  At the moment I can only think to borrow the words of Dave Eggers – it is indeed a heartbreaking work of staggering genius. I’m pretty much incoherent after that whopper of an episode, so you’ll […] Read more

This Time it’s Real – Hunter X Hunter Returns (Updated 4/23/14)

April 22, 2014Guardian EnzoUncategorizedAnime, Hunter x Hunter, Manga
Comments (38)

HE IS BACK Update: the official return date is the 6/2 issue of WSJ.  The tagline: “What is being aimed for is darkness. What is being hunted is hope. What blocks the way is endless despair.” Hunter X Hunter is returning to Weekly Shounen Jump, starting in June.  This time […] Read more
