Visiting, then... 

Indian internet is actually pretty fast in urban areas... it's the countryside that is pretty much in the dark (being a huge country it's to be expected)... 

Yea, it was a pretty good ending too. Gives you just enough to feel satisfied about it while giving you hints about the 2nd season. I rate it a Megumin/10

Also Phantom World's new episode was my favorite so far. The MaixHaruhiko ship is strong with this one. Also Haruhiki was quite the smoopth operater as a kid xD

Like a little chocobo

Thank the fucking god!!!!!!!!!! 

I'm just joshing...you're not the only one who gets that wrong. It's supposed to be a play on words based on a recurring quote that gets brought up...but you wouldn't know that without watching it.

I recommend it if you don't mind the usual shounen cliches. It pretty much takes the best and worst parts of the genre and multiplies them to their ultimate extremes. Friendship power, tons of characters, like thirty fights every arc, and tits...everywhere.

My shipper heart was roaring the whole episode. I don't care how kinky it was, I loved it. GG other girls.

Mai/Haruhiko isn't something I had much faith in (or really any pair in a shallow anime like this), but I still liked the dynamic. Glad to see it get more focus.

Hunter x Hunter Manga is set return April 18th.

probably gonna rewatch the 2011 Anime and re-read chapters 340 to 349 in order to refresh my memory before then.

I could actually overlook most of the cliches if it didn't have some of the worst fights in anime.  That's not good when said anime is all about fighting.  Most of the battles follow the same damn formula to the point that the opponents don't really even matter.  

I remember one of the fights during the Magic Games that I was really looking forward to watching, Rufus against Gray.  It was such a disappointment that I felt personally insulted.  I was so pissed off because they'd actually set it up rather well then, bam, same old formula.  Bad Guy hits Good Guy over and over, Good Guy keeps getting up, eventually Good Guy channels friendship power, uses a NEW AND IMPROVED attack with a fancier name, which basically one-shots the Bad Guy.  Argh.  And here I was thinking he'd have to come up with a clever strategy when all he has to do is get a lot stronger over the span of a few days.  Ugh.

Natsudo's fights are even worse, as he just does the same thing as above but with the bonus of learning to eat the opponent's magic when he couldn't before.

I've quit and gone back twice but I think I'm really done this time unless something kills Natsu and someone else takes over as the main character.  That's my hope, anyway.  Even incredibly-weak-but-always-wins-via-banana-peel Lucy would be better.

I don't think there's any defending the asspulls or short fights, I've kinda come to terms with that. For me, the characters are what stand out the most, and the absurd reactions and goofy comedy remain strong even in the recent chapters. When it comes to fights, certain ones do a great job of winning me over (in recent memory, Laxus had a poignant fight that really made my throat tight, and Wendy's recent fights have been really well done), but whenever Gray, Natsu, and Erza get solo fights, I find myself zooming through chapters. Especially the latter...I really liked Erza in the beginning, but her fights have grown so boring lately. Literally winning fights "Because she's Erza".

Lucy can be off an on, but since she's the "real girl", her fights are more unique, at least. Still, I love it when she and Natsu team up. Without spoiling too much (not sure if you care), they had a fight an arc back where Lucy came up with a genius strategy to beat one of the villains, and Natsu was able to execute it without even speaking to her, they were so in sync. I love that kinda thing, it's the kind of chapter I like to go back and read again later.

The big problem I think, is that Hiro, the mangaka, has stated that he hates both training arcs and long extended fights (a la DBZ)...though he really goes in the opposite direction with constant mid-fight powerups and 2-3 chapter long fights. Though it's a completely different author obviously, after reading Yamada-kun and seeing similarities in the art and comedy style, I'd love to see Hiro try his hand a SoL or a rom-com. He's a great artist in my opinion, has a really clean style with well drawn characters, and is constantly throwing in easter eggs for fans in odd scenes. 

This is probably one of the most bipolar FT reviews you've seen...but I largely blame that on the manga itself switching in between One Piece levels of awesome and DBZ levels of boring. Though people that like both of those probably wouldn't find as much fault with FT I imagine.

Fair enough, the magic games arc was pretty bad, BUT the two arcs after that(Tartarus and the Spriggan Arc) totally make up for it. Some of the best stuff Hiro has done to the series is there imo. Although the usual tropes are still there, so if they annoyed you before, you probably still won't like it.

Versus! I ask you to make a poll asking people which character they'd like to strangle violently and in the most graphic way possible!

I am equally split between Subaru, Nove, Casko, Tatenashi and Yona...

There's an inside joke in there and it has nothing to do with chewing on people...
