Palm: out of all the people Gon needs in his life, he needs you most
me: yeah but he'll still probably end up married to some random girl because anime......assuming this series ever ends
some of the lines are so in your face I'm willing to call it a soft parody
it's not a parody in the sense that perfect hair forever was a parody but it's a parody in the sense that Star Vs. the forces of Evil is a parody of the Disney Princess formula
this series is 100% an affectionate parody of Shonen series
it's clichee'd because it's playfully messing with Shonen tropes
once you understand that, this series suddenly becomes good
