also im super confused about the setting: some of the boats look modern, and there are tags on the kids clothes but the town had medieval kinda music going on and he's leaving on a huge wooden ship with sails
this kid has taken the art of being a headstrong shonen protagonist to entirely new fucking levels
mom: Your father abandoned you to become a Hunter!
plucky kid w/ green yu-gi-oh hair: I know
mom: He chose becoming a Hunter over raising you!
greenhair McGreenpants: ISN'T THAT AMAZING!?!?
(*mom is flabbergasted*)
green greenson: Being a Hunter is so great, he was willing to abandon his own kid!
This goes down as the series goes on.
It eventually gets to a point where his wild-child-doesn't-really-know-what-evil-is-kind-of-just-follows-his-heart kind of begins to creep other people out.
Also his best buddy was a paid assassin who's attitude towards his former life was "I killed people for money once. It was crazy and weird, but it's over now"

Basically it's mostly modern day tech, but Whale Island is kinda backwards.
The tone of the first episode is kind of non-indicative.
The best endorsement of Hunter X Hunter I can give is that there's an arc where the heroes are acting out of fear, revenge, and ruthless pragmatism and the main villains are acting out of pure, overwhelming, childlike love for each other and for their society, and you can still see why the heroes are the heroes and the villains are the villains.
25 year old man in the suit isnt pulling his weight.
EXCITED TO SEE WHAT THE TWIST IS YO
Ohhhhhhh
That's because for him, this isn't about becoming a super-powerful fighter, it's about passing the test and getting the money to go to med school. He doesn't have any plans to be a Hunter after that.
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusasders is getting a dub.
This is strange because we're only twelve episodes in to what is going to be a forty-eight episode series. I have never seen this before.
I guess this, combined with the Viz manga downloadable translation of Part 3 means they're making a push to get this popular in the West for the first time in decades.
On an entirely different note, as I have mentioned elsewhere, I finally got around to watching Akira. Subtitled, remastered.
The soundtrack and the animation are godly.
Speaking of eighties anime, the first and to a lesser degree, second episodes of Genocyber have beautiful, amazing, horrifying body horror art and animation.
Everything else is shallow, stupid, confusing, trash, but gawd that animation.

So I have seen and heard. It's one of Aikawa's early un-gems, but astonishingly detailed in its brutality.

I don't remember the beginning too well, given that I watched it like a year ago.

So I can see why you like him.
