That rat is a giant smug snake like U3's Kai.

Say what? Ea isn't a Smug Snake. He's an Adorkable little cinnamon roll.

[up][up][up][up] Haven't seen the episode yet, so I'll take your word for it. Agent-Trunks' complaint sounded more about spending an episode on a universe's elimination rather than it beings something they already dealt with.

Not sure why Hunter X Hunter has been brought up again but while you are correct that convoluted =/= clever, HXH *is* clever regardless (it just takes an age explaining itself).

Because Agent-Trunks brought it up. Needless to say, I disagree.

Convoluted doesn't equal better or clever.

Most of the time its just confusing.

@LSBK I was about to elaborate but I guess I'll wait until you see the episode cause all I'd be doing is given further spoilers.

[up] That's kind of rude.

And, also, that Hunter × Hunter goes for convoluted solutions to problems doesn't mean its clever. So many people confuse the two.

Good god man, I think you're the only person that has ever call it out as it is.

Not sure why Hunter X Hunter has been brought up again but while you are correct that convoluted == clever, HXH *is* clever regardless (it just takes an age explaining itself).

I'm not here 24/7 cuz this thread moves absurdly fast, so apologies for redundancy but it doesn't change could've been better with it's pacing.

Soooo correct me if Im wrong, but didnt the episode before this say like there was 13 minutes left? and this one says 12?

Are we supposed to believe this entire episode was in a one minute span?

@Sigil, Really don't want to go into too much depth with that right now, so I'll just say this: Hunter X Hunter strikes me as trying to for the image of being "subversive" while not actually subverting a lot of the things people give it credit for, and it often just ends up being unnecessarily convoluted and long-winded.

[up] that's fair, but I thought you meant not clever as in the battle writing.

HXH is exceptionally long winded, I agree, especially the anime chimera ant arc. That Damon narrator.

It really depends. If you expect a satisfying story, H x H is plenty subversive.

DBZ Logic, still not quite as bad as 5 minutes Namek Saga though.

Getting real tired hearing how subversion is supposed to be a good thing if it all it does "no shit sherlock"

Does anyone else find the fansubbers including the previews right before the episode annoying? This isn't the broadcast with breaks or anything, we're about to watch the damn episode, skip the dumb preview.

The official subs on crunchyroll leave the preview in too, so I guess this is just a thing that's happening now.

That depends, we're over 20 episodes since the tournament begin with 36 minutes passing in total. The time limit is 48 mins. Do you recall how many episodes it when Freeza blew up the core of Namek?

Keep in mind that a lot of the warriors in this tournament are FTL. The action we're seeing is way slowed down, for our convenience.
