Thoughts On Hunter X Hunter



Underestimating Gon 



Before I started with Hunter X Hunter, I had heard so much about how strong Gon was. I mean in some videos and posts, he was being compared to some of the greats so I was like,  "Damn can't wait to see this kid in action." But if I'm being honest, what actually got me into watching this show was Gon and Killua's friendship. Two words: Fucking Beautiful. But we'll get into that later. So I start watching this show and things seem alright, then his first encounter with Hisoka comes up. He basically made a fool out of Gon but that was understandable cos that nigga is on another level and Gon is a child, literally. Since then, I wasn't really impressed with him and what pissed me the fuck off totally was his 1v1 with Hanzo at the end of the exam but that's a whole different story. Fast forward to the Heavens Arena Arc and boy, did he grow up fast. His fighting I mean. I have come to the understanding that unlike the previous shonen anime I have watched where some MCs already have some strength to them (Jin Mori. Love that nigga), Hunter X Hunter is a journey of the MC's and some of us have to be patient. 

Killua


When watching anything; be it a movie, T.V series or anime, 90% of the time the MC is not my favourite character, only on rare occasions (Jin Mori. Love that nigga) and Hunter X Hunter is no different. Killua is my highlight of the show. His vibe, his strength, and above all his loyalty to Gon. Basically their loyalty to each other but we are looking at this from Kil's perspective. If anyone asks you who or what a best friend is, Google killua for them. Trust me. Killua is not an example but rather the definition of who a besto friendo should be. In the future I am going to talk about his friendship with Gon.


Fighting smart
Even though I haven't seen a lot of major fights- up to where I am in the show- I love the way the two kids (Gon and Killua) fight. They actually use their minds more than their  strengths. Typical example is Gon vs Reihvelt. This makes their fights short, simple and very entertaining, which in my opinion makes you yearn for more fights. 
I know there are some over the top fight scenes and I can't wait to see them.

I really love Hunter X Hunter and I can't wait to get to the fun parts and share my thoughts with you guys. Thank you guys for reading and let me know what you think in the comments.

BLEACH Arrancar: The Arrival Arc Review

Image
In honor of the Thousand-Year Blood war arc and the fact that Bleach is one of the animes I am watching at the moment, I have decided to dedicate my first post of the year to Bleach. What’s good, geng? I hope y'all had a happy new year? Some of us don't really fret a lot on holidays but we've made it this far and we are thankful. As an avid anime person (even though I  haven't seen a lot), Bleach is the most difficult anime I happen to be watching. Difficult to watch in the sense that it takes me more energy to watch Bleach than to watch Naruto or even Food Wars. Don't get me wrong, this is a great show and it does have its moments but it is hard to watch. Also please watch out for SPOILERS. Anyway with that being said… IKUZOR! Today we talk about Bleach Arrancar: The Arrival arc. This arc started off pretty interestingly with a nice surprise. For the first time in a long time we are briefly taught that Ichigo's father is way more than what we are used to seeing...

Black Clover: Royal Capital Assault Arc

Hey there fam, once again here I am with another piece to make noise about. And today, we are back on that Black Clover action. Not long ago, I wrote about my first impressions on this show and that was based on the first 5 episodes. I knew I had a long way to go. Now I am almost 30 episodes in, which means I am done with the Royal Capital Assault Arc. I come bearing something sweet. IKUZOR. For starters, there isn't much to this arc, a bunch of terrorist group attack the royal capital in search of a particular item. Before that, in the beginning we are introduced to some of the captains of the magic knights and some of the members of different squads and if we are being honest, it's not like I am going to know all those people but I just thought it was nice to let them be known. Now back to these terrorists, they are a group of people who call themselves “Eye Of The Midnight Sun” (which is actually a lame ass name if you ask me). They start off by dispersing themselves and att...

Naruto: Tenchi Bridge Reconnaissance Mission Arc Review

Image
Hello my comrades, it's a nice day or night- whatever time you are reading this. Today we talk about one of the OG TV shows, Naruto Shippuuden. I know, I know, you've seen it 500 times and you are tired of it. Well, some of us didn't finish and we forgot where we got to so we had to start all over again. Deal with it. Recently I posted my thoughts on the fight between Sakura and Sasori. Go check it out if you haven't seen it. Please watch out for SPOILERS if you haven't seen these parts yet. IKUZOR!! So I finished watching the Tenchi Bridge Reconnaissance Mission Arc and…damn, not a dull moment in this arc. Let's start with the politics that was shown before this particular mission began. Personally I hate politics. I hate the fact that people who have no idea about the outside world get to make decisions affecting people in the outside world. Such people are loosely termed as cake eaters. That's what these village elders portrayed- pure hypocrisy. It took T...
