Hunter shiken: a series of intelligent challenges to test various skills
Chuunin shiken: a cheerio's annual prize race

Kurapika: Overpowered genious with red eyes that wants to avenge his clan
Sasuke: boohoo, aniki killed my mommy

Nen training: Actual training
Chakra training: clapping your hands


yea it's kinda comical to see how much naruto copied from hunter x hunter and still they failed in every round. but one thing you forgot to mention was how they tried to copy a similar group like the spiders with the akutsuki. however there are still more similarities but i'm not going through everything as obvious it seems.

True, I forgot that. There's many more, especially if you don't keep to the anime and read both mangas.

It's the difference between a good mangaka and a bad one. Naruto copied ideas that worked, and even though it's a success in terms of marketing, it doesn't get to lick the boots of HxH's masterful storyline.

I'm going to completely agree right here. Hisoka has a great VA, and he sounds amazing. Hisoka is one of the coolest characters. I would love for some reason there to be a reason he and Kurapica fight again, since Kurapica can now use Nen, as opposed to during the Hunter Shiken when he couldn't.

Yeah, love to meet another fellow HxH fan.

I like them both, too. Actually, I love all the characters in HxH, including the guy that calls himself a magician even though he looks more like a joker to me. Can someone remind me what his name is, please? Anyway, I like them all. Is that strange?

hisoka it's his name. doesn't anyone find it kinda weird how confusing this anime appear to be. i mean if we check the first arc, what we expected are completely different than what we see in the other arcs. i never was expecting them to work with this whole "nen" thing. the same i was led to believe that hisoka was really a magician.

by the way has anyone seen the musical theatre thing. because it's on youtube and if we check hisoka, he's even more creepier.

Yea, yea that's the name. Man, I'm so pathetic. I've heard of it but when it comes to putting it on paper...I'm like, ah how does it go again?!?

I know what you mean, when I first watched HxH, I was expecting the characters to finght physically with strength and for Gon to find his dad. Then, they went and used 'nen', I went huh?!? But it's all good, I still love it. :D

It's a shame the anime ended so soon, though. Some of the later fights in the manga would be beautiful in their animated versions, and I LOVE the HxH OSTs. The background music, especially around the end of Hunter Shiken and in GI Final, is fantastic.

I Wasn't talking about AMVs but a real theatre thing with real people.

i loved it too because it shows how unpredictable this anime may look. and this is the first time i see an anime when the main character isn't all powerful because if i recall gon got his ass kicked a lot of time.

wish i could read the manga <sigh> can anyone tell me what happened after gi final? i don't mind spoilers but i have to know please anyone? oh and you don't have to tell me everything just the important events


telling you everything will take a whole 2 pages because there is a lot happening in this arc. and believe me you just don't know what you missing because killua rocks hard on this arc :D . maybe you should wait because i've heard a lot of talks about after togashi ends this arc, he would probably release another ova. i could've waited too but you know how addictive this anime is , so i had to read that last arc through the internet.
