From what I've seen, the consensus is generally that the Hunter Exams are done better in '99. And some of the biggest shortcomings from an adaption standpoint are within the 2011 version, like skipping the intro episode on the island, which coincidentally includes the most significant reason Gon leaves in the first place. And it's really not true that being a more faithful works against the argument. That's really pretty irrelevant, people just like applying significance to it when there isn't a whole lot. Media isn't a linear construct that works simply by translating from page to motion. Fullmetal Alchemist, for example, has an excellent adaption of the early arcs in 2003. Brotherhood tends to get considered the superior version on mere virtue of being "more faithful", but the page-to-page adaption doesn't do Brotherhood any favors and in some ways makes it worse of an adaption, at least during the early sections. Basically everything up to the death of Maes is handled, honestly, somewhat poorly compared to the less faithful adaption in 2003, and even after that it took until something like the 20s to really kick off for me especially with the horribly translated comedy bits every couple minutes. That isn't a slam against FMA:B, I love the series, but it's an example of how being faithful to the manga can be a detriment to the adaption in a way the original source did not suffer from; of which I can attest FMA's manga does not have the same pacing issue, given I read quite a bit passed that point and didn't feel the same content was very uneven in manga-form. '99 simply takes more artistic risks with the show. I appreciate that. It's still a weird show that does weird things. Like when Gon gets poisoned during the exams and spends several days paralyzed, instead of cutting to him pretty much recovered, there's half an episode dedicated to him slowly recovering and contemplating his failure. To my understanding that's not in the manga, and it's certainly not it 2011, but feels really appropriate and I don't think it would really work in a manga regardless.

Because they don't listen to a smug dumpster diving janitor?

Nobody cares what you care about.

Ask her what lady parts feel like and if she'll let you feel hers.

Who fucking cares?

Is there a day that isn't?

Finding weird things in the trash. Having sex with fuggs. What's the difference?

"Why is the image quality so poor? .... Oh, Photobucket."

Photobucket hasn't been able to make Photobucket work for at least a decade.

Why are you still arguing this? If you break down the root words, it still doesn't mean "irrational fear of homosexuals". It would mean something else, but you're only looking at the root word of "phobia" while ignoring the root word "homo". And no, "phobia" is not exclusive to fear. The definition includes "aversion to". You can have an extreme or irrational aversion to something, but not afraid of it, and still be phobic to it. All you're doing is drawing a pointless line in the sand at the wrong place in order to drag out a meaningless argument you have no footing in.

It has to be conventional to be good? Your complaint is literally "it's weird and I can't handle anything different!" I'm watching Fargo right now. Every season is spent killing a large chunk of the main cast then going to a new cast the next season. Season 2 has a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and season 3 has a 93%. Or how Twin Peaks would have extended sequences of cryptic surrealism, with that taking up half the finale and an equally large amount of the movie, but it's one of the most influential shows in American TV history. So, yeah, "not conventional" is totally never "appreciated".

"All the fanboys" is just a ludicrously inaccurate generalization. My preference for '99 came in pretty late because I watched 2011 first and took at least 9 months before touching '99. It's more somber, with more contemplative character moments and adds some uniquely high quality filler (some of which is expanded fights). 2011 is probably popular because it follows the source more closely and has Chimera Ant. CA is a ridiculously good arc that's pretty long. 2011 has a more standard upbeat tone, as well.

wow ok

I called the Nab x Bucket ship at least a month or 2 ago. What do I win?

Why must you be terrible at everything? How do you manage to suck at trolling a Trump supporter that much, then followup by being proud of your weakass troll?

I made a thread with a Jurassic Park pun and it got deleted. Literally no reason. Whichever Mod deleted it: Eat a bag of dicks.
