@ Alpha: And to be fair, Part 1 is the foundation that the rest of the series stands upon. Building up the relationship between Jonathan and Dio is integral to, well, everything. Well, maybe not everything, but a lot of events later down the road.

I hereby declare that "Koo-DEE-lee-uh" is now the correct pronunciation for Kudelia.

[up]yeah, I agree. Some people I've seen said they're writing the show off because it "doesn't live up to the hype" but they don't understand that the first ep is supposed to set up everything.

@ Slim: Good to hear about season 2!

It's taken a while, but I'm pretty solidly invested in these characters now.

yeah, I agree. Some people I've seen said they're writing the show off because it "doesn't live up to the hype" but they don't understand that the first ep is supposed to set up everything.

I mean, I guess I get it. From an outsider looking in, the most I knew about Jojo were the Stands and, from my understanding, the first season doesn't have those I can see why it wouldn't gel if that was what they were expecting. It's like going from the Super Saiyan battles of Z to the Comedy Martial Arts of the original Dragon Ball.

I dig it though. It hit all the type of qualities I look for in an anime.

Gotta say, the explanation of the Zoldyck family doesn't really measure up to "strange beasts... And monsters"

@ Beary: Because they're generally unpleasant people?

@ Enlong: The "monsters" part is pretty apt from what we've seen so far.

We're getting a backstory now? Does this mean she isn't dead or are they trying to retroactively make me feel bad?

Speaking of that first Hunter intro, the example of "hidden treasures" was that stone mask from Jojo.


Dang, Canary got some moves.

You know, beneath the shonen action-comedy surface, Hunter X Hunter seems to be a pretty gloomy show.

The Zoldyck Family kinda function on their own morality. They all genuinly love each other but have fucked up ways of showing it, befitting a family of assassins.

I mean just wait till they meet Kill again. This arc will be resolved in a very surprising way.

Nah, it just futzes with the target's perception of the user by deliberately messing up the signals being sent by movement.
