Someone get that girl a tissue. To say this has been a busy few weeks for Hunter X Hunter would be an understatement. We had the milestone 100th episode, the demotion to late-night, and the leaked image that started a wildfire of speculation that the manga would – at long […] Read more
Shaka, when the walls fell. Update #3: ANN joins the “nothing to report in WSJ 50” parade, so it isn’t looking good. It looks like “I’ve seen false reports simply get recycled over and over until everyone just assumes it’s true” was more predictive than I’d hoped. There could still […] Read more
If I were to slap an idiom on that episode, it would be “Still Waters Run Deep”. Lest anyone think I’m unnecessarily bashing, let me re-state for the nth time – I like Shingeki no Kyoujin, and rather a lot too. Not only that but I think it’s rather good […] Read more

It might not sound like a big deal, but I think this is pretty major news. In a move that might have been inevitable, NTV is switching Hunter X Hunter to late nights. This Sunday’s broadcast will apparently be the last 10:55 AM new episode premiere – starting 10/8, H […] Read more
Hunter X Hunter is well on its way to developing the longest-ever list of people you really, really don’t want to piss off. We have many centers of power in the Hunterverse. We have the Phantom Troupe, and of course the Hunters Association – another group we haven’t seen the […] Read more
