However after your discussion of HxH in one of your earlier shows, I thought “psycho killer clown who get epic crotch light over fighting young boys?! I have got to check this shit out”. In a weird twist I actually ended up reading the magna before I watched the show. Which brings me to the main point I wanted to post about, how HxH got butchered in the non OVA anime.<br /><br />The first problem is with the high amount of filler they decided to put in the show. After a quick look of HxH on wiki I saw that about 11 out of the first 26 episodes were either full or partially filler. All that filler really dragged the hunter exams out and maybe could be the cause of why Foxy did not find it very important. The Full filler episodes by themselves are might not be so bad since they are easily skipped, but it’s when they work into the cannon that things go wrong. For example the whole girl wanting to get revenge on Killua did not actually happen, the chairman just wanted to see how strong the boys were and offered them hunter licences right then if they could get the ball away. Also the filler seemed to give you guys the impression that Killua was already beginning to change, but that is not really true because at one point after getting all excited Hisoka style, he kills 2 random contestants for no reason what so ever. On a final note the scene on the train that leads people to think that Kurapika is delicious flat chest, I’m pretty sure that it was also all filler.<br /><br />The second problem is the changing the timing things for no/stupid reasons. For example in the last room of the tower of trickery the group either has to send 3 people down the 1 minute path or all 5 down the 1 hour path with less than one hour till the exam is over. The change is made just after they are about to fight to see who the 3 will be. In the magna the next scene has a dusty Gon, Killua and Kurapika enter the finishing area by themselves, when that happened my heart sank for Leorio as I wondered how he would ever become a hunter. But when you turn the page Bam there is Leorio and the other guy, your left wondering how they managed to pull it off. Finally they cut to Gon’s plan of taking the hour path but breaking the wall down to get to the minute path, your left thinking how brilliant the whole set up was. In the anime the just do the scene in chorological order which takes all the epic out of it. <br /><br />Finally what might have pissed me off the most is that they didn’t show the whole fight between Hisoka and Kastro, which could be my favourite fight in the whole magna. I could go into details about it but let me just say I had epic crotch light once the fight was over and they had explain all the shit Hisoka pulled. But then the anime just goes and skips over most of it, almost made me stop watching.<br /><br />Well I could give more example, but i feel this is getting way TLDR alreadyRiceynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108208487588438067.post-28986524653672591302009-11-12T15:19:29.840-05:002009-11-12T15:19:29.840-05:00Yep.

I&#39;m kidding, but if you really wanted it to be funny/annoy folks, you should have just had you and Peterson talk and put the sheep on when Foxy talked.ibladehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01769335201833726315noreply@blogger.com
