Then if it comes up, say he was just upset and was looking out for a coworker he was concerned about, but you didn't want him to do it.

Can I have your job?

Eh. I mentioned liking the guy for that reason. I don't know if I'd say you would like it more or not. I think it's worth giving a shot since you seemed to want to like HxH and, despite what people may say, it's in my opinion a very different version. It does make Gon and Killua more relatable; Gon has more internal conflicts and vulnerability despite still having a slanted moral compass and Killua has more conflicts with how he feels about his family. There are still oddities like Killua's family being highly regarded, but the world culturally has a more primal outlook where assassination is much more common. They do seem to still be feared despite the respect they get. One thing I think is interesting about the Zoldycks in both versions is that the grandfather admits to dislike killing while many of Killua's siblings appear to have no quarrels with it. Wing isn't the best of the series' mentors. He's better to an extent in '99, but still not the most interesting mentor. Kurapika's mentor is pretty cool but Biscuit is the fan favorite and gets reasonably more screentime than Kurapika's nen teacher, plus she's pretty great. More than anything I liked how it shifted field of view to go from blurred background then to a focus on Kurapika with the web out of focus. It's really impressive how they sometimes emulated cameras in a hand-drawn series from the '90s. I'm into shots like that and they're all over the place in the older adaption. I'm trying to find an article I saw comparing the tournament at the end of the Hunter Exam that did a great job explaining how I feel about the comparison of the adaptions. If I can find it, I'll link you to it.

Since Viper got out of line like some kind of geek, I'm gonna go ahead and take his place. On topic: I agree with the texture thing. Tomato sauces are good, though.

Payback for what?

Panic, then cry in the bathroom for 20 minutes because I already ruined it.

More like Hulolwhotfhashulu amirite?

Why do you keep stealing?

I ain't judging. I'll eat McDonald's, so I really can't knock you too hard. McD's is effective what I described in more than just appearance.

Missed the top one, GEEK!

That looks like someone shat blood and cheese, clumped it together, ate it, puked it back up, sneezed on it with enough ferocity to unload a dozen nostrils, then put more cheese on it, put it on tortilla, and microwaved it.

why not

Lol

Packard's "brain" determined the guy, who definitely existed, had a whole pocket full of needles dipped in heroin and AIDS.

I read the title as "ambulance dinner" for a second. It was all like, yeah, you'll need an ambulance after one of your dinners.

I was surprised nobody had said it tbh.

Oooooooooooh..... Shit, yeah. She really blurs with Sodakandy. They're both sodapressing, ya know?

Nobody answered my question, which was the one with the parakeet and the Zimmerman ladyboner?

To be fair, there are very few people you can compete with.

I think when she showed up as RealustMe everyone thought it was a westpark alt or...... You know, pretty sure that's what happened, but in retrospect that sounds kind of retarded.

Wait, I thought RealistMe was the one with the parakeet. Was that Sodakandy? Fuck, I remember there being drama with that name but nothing like what you're talking about. The parakeet and/or Trayvon arguments. I don't know what's what any more.

Lol Viper

Viper liked this post.

They did explain the Castro fight, though that's one of the weirdest shifts since it got explained at a strange place. Probably had to cut it for censors, but what they did show was pretty well done. As for Uvo, I like both versions about the same. 2011 is more straight-laced badass for sure, but '99 did a lot with it. The color scheme, camera angles, and the subtle additions to Kurapika's characterization make up for the technical limitations compared to the raw power of 2011. Yorknew is where I'd say the series start being about equal, just for different reasons. Then again, I like the somber feel more anyway, at least for HxH. For example, the flashback episode for Kurapika learning nen, despite being primarily exposition, has some crazy good shots. I really like stuff like starting a shot with a spider web and unblurring the background to show Kurapika behind it while his teacher warns him about lthe danger of using nen for vengeance. My film nerd side geeks out over small details of the sort.
