Jeez, Chrollo, should've kept your old hairstyle or the one you had when disguised.

I know she wasn't aware, just she had no reason to explain. That's just why I hate explaining their powers when it's done more for plot purposes than a trick or reflecting things about the character.

Like when Hisoka does it, I don't mind as he has an actual reason. She did it because the plot dictates it, which just throws me out of things.

Yeah, TOM's right. I have to wonder if RiME was directly inspired by games like ICO and Journey. I can see the influences.

[up][up] She was pissed off & arrogant.

I think those are good enough reasons, she had no reason to assume those kids were planning anything at the moment so she could afford to be a little lax.

Was sort of a pride thing. Gon and Killua were taking her powers lightly, so she decided to say "here's why you're screwed".

I'll concede to pride, I started thinking that for a moment.

Do love that Kurapika pulled off that disguise and the capture! Plus good use of his appearance.

Yes, Chrollo, I think we all got that part already.

Lupin time! Lupin vs. Nix in this one!

@Slim That prick would have abandoned everybody because he doesn't get that wanting revenge doesn't mean you have to be an asshole to people unrelated to your agenda.

Hunter x Hunter is definitely the smartest Shonen I've ever seen.

HXH is definitely one of the more cerebral series out there, which I like. I'm thoroughly enjoying the back and forth as well.

I wish I watched Hunter x Hunter sooner given my cerebral love. This series has been worth taking notes on. I don't think it's the deconstruction it's made out to be, but I think most people just throw that word around without knowing what it means. It's not deconstructive, it's competent.

As much as I prefer the Japanese opening, at least it's not the shitty Italian opening.

[up][up] Could the reason we have this alternative OP be the show's timeslot, similar to how there was the other Space Dandy OP (which was actually the ED) when it wasn't headlining the block? I can't imagine there's licensing issues, since this series merely has an arrangement of the usual Lupin III theme.

I honestly wouldn't know. It could be, but eh. I've let it go. Could be worse. Listen to the Italian opening for a stupid rap.

To add that in. I started this hyped to hear the trademark tune of the series and got that.

And love that this series has continuity!
