thistlechaserA VR RPG within an anime? *Homer drool* Holy cow, how cool! What a great seeming game, fully VR, and anime-based! Mmm.
But! But! But! I watched the first four eps of the second OVA... how are they going to conclude *anything* in only four more eps! They're going to leave us hanging, I know they are.
Nice to see that Kuroro is apparently not dead, though it's totally morbid to have Paku's grave in the Spider HQ (if that's where they were...). Highly cool twist to have the "Nen sticks around after death" thing. I liked it how Kurapica saw Paku's "ghost" (unless it was just a vision he saw because he was sick.)
I can't believe the series is finished and we're two OVAs in. It feels like the storyline is just starting.
Oh, and a TeniPuri comment: Apparently the LAST subbing group's work is okay. I really wanted to see 106, so I downloaded LAST's version of it, and it was fine. Well, the subbing was fine, I mean. Even though it's the gayest thing ever shown on TV, I'm getting bored with PoT. It's just so... shallow. Fluff. It very much annoys me that they're now pushing Kaidou and Momo together, too. *grump* I like them both, but I liked Kaidou with Inui. Grump.
Oh, and I wonder if the HxH OVAs are just eps because the series was canceled? Maybe it wasn't popular enough to keep showing on TV? (Though I totally wouldn't be able to understand that...) There seems so much story left to tell, I wonder why it isn't still a weekly series...
I need more HxH icons to use...

Date: 2004-02-20 03:37 am (UTC)As I understand it, the anime caught up with the manga at the time and, in deference to Togashi-sensei's health concerns and the story he was telling, they decided to go the route of OAVs, waiting until whenever there was enough to animate them, rather than making up their own stuff. Hence why they keep releasing them in bursts of eight episodes or so--the next one should finish up the GI arc, but I have no idea if they'll animate the Chimera Ant arc after that.
*scitters off again*
