I've spent so much time on this series. I've read the manga and watched both anime adaptations so this is my 4th time through a lot of this.

Reminds me of the old Shonen Jump era stuff.

Oh really when?

I was just thinking he was like Sasuke. Hopefully Kurapika doesn't become a Black Hole Sue.

I'm gonna laugh if the captain dumps the failed candidates on some deserted island somewhere.

Oooh I have that ending song in my playlist because I found out that the band who did the Parasyte OP performed it. It's catchy as heck.

Full ED plays on Toonami when?

Well, that first episode didn't bowl me over, but I enjoyed it. Will definitely keep up with this show.

All right, now it's time for my other favorite episode of Samurai Champloo!

I'd like to be the first man on the moon.

Good on Gon for standing up for the bullied sailor.

I sense an up and coming Power Trio.

I wasn't so sure about the first half, but the second half has me convinced that this could be fantastic.

Ooh, so that's why the ED reminded me of Parasyte's OP!

Trust me, shit gets way darker as it goes on. Actually Kurapika becomes a lot like Sasuke now that I think about it. Still more likable though.

[up][up] Its more a quartet actually.

The only series that looks like shonen but has that level of volence was Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. And due to the art style, its even more jarring here.
