Hunter X Hunter – 15
With a solid strategy and tactic in hand, it’s time for Gon to go on the offensive and hunt down the baddest mofo on the island. That and sit in the bushes for a stupid amount of time until the right moment presents itself for Gon to strike. As for the rest of the crew, Leorio showcases his overall uselessness when it comes to being outwitted by the ever annoying Tonpa. I rag on Leorio a lot for being...

Hunter X Hunter – 14
Straight out of the gate this episode was fast. This entire bit took at least three episodes to complete in the original. That’s not even mentioning the fact the treasure hunting segment of the original was filler apparently, so that was completely scrapped also. So we practically breezed through five episodes already. What an improvement from the previous episode’s snail’s pace huh. Anyway, Gon did...

Hunter X Hunter – 15
With a solid strategy and tactic in hand, it’s time for Gon to go on the offensive and hunt down the baddest mofo on the island. That and sit in the bushes for a stupid amount of time until the right moment presents itself for Gon to strike. As for the rest of the crew, Leorio showcases his overall uselessness when it comes to being outwitted by the ever annoying Tonpa. I rag on Leorio a lot for being inadequate in the fighting department, but I really do like his character and how he melds with the rest of the group.

Alas, it’s what makes for entertaining plot lines.
Hunter X Hunter – 12
Guess what’s more boring than watching people actually being bored? Absolutely nothing, way to waste 15 minutes! In their attempt to show you what 50 hours feels like, Hunter X Hunter actually wastes our real life by dedicating a huge part of the episode to showing our gang doing nothing. I get it, it was a means of getting Tonpa to make Leorio feel guilty about losing the 50 hours in the first place. However as a show that paces itself well and cuts out all the fat, it sure is odd they decided to do what they did in this episode. But in the end, getting the hell out of this silly tower is a reward unto itself.
Hunter X Hunter – 11
Another episode of Hunter X Hunter and another round of mind games! Leorio’s lack of physical prowess is on stage again and how boring it is. I appreciate the effort in keeping the battles varied but rock-paper-scissors can only hold my attention for so long. The crazy amount of second guessing eventually gave way to wanting someone to get beaten into the ground instead. Luckily Killua came through with that request in the nick of time to save the episode from mediocrity.
Hunter X Hunter – 10
Toning it down from Kurapika’s punch heard around the world, this week’s Hunter X Hunter goes back to the mind games. It wasn’t the most exciting episode; even for first timers it may have been pretty boring. I appreciated the effort in conveying the strong friendship and trust our gang already has now, but overall I wish they hurried it up a tad. It was a smart scenario of mind games between the two parties with Leorio’s medical skill and ballsy theatrics coming into play to win them a victory.
Hunter X Hunter – 09
Gon’s battle was interesting to say the least. I suppose playing with candles can prove somewhat entertaining. It does mark the moment where Hunter X Hunter hints it’s not all about brute strength battles, as a lot of noggin power comes into play in upcoming fights that help to keep the show fresh. Which is funny because Gon’s decision-making process was as innocent and elementary as you can get when he was deciding which candle to choose. None the less, it was a feel good victory, paving the way to a more serious battle.
