So, most of the block I kind of ignored.
Hisoka scares me, seriously. He is extremely powerful, clever and a complete sociopath. Kind of like the Joker with Jedi powers. He is evidently playing this Spider gang as well, probably because they amused him somehow, or maybe because he wants to double cross them to have an excuse to kill them, hard telling. In any event, Gon and Killua should be concerned about Hisoka having an interest in them.
Still, it was cool to watch Hisoka win that fight.
I saw the animated Batman the Killing Joke. It was easily the best animated show I've seen in months. It was perfect in almost every way, save the use of friggin instead of fucking. It was rated R, drop the F bomb.
