So Kyle Hebert as Morel and Grant George as Knov. I'm going to have to get used to Kyle's direction here.

Yeah, Pitou is officially ambiguous, despite having a female voice in Japanese and English, as well as a slightly feminine build (at least in the anime).

@ Demetrios: Don't get used to it.

Yeah, I can't see the arm in giving Kite a hand! He did stay behind to single-handedly fight Pitou after all.

Gon really is an odd shonen protag coming right after AAAASTA isn't he?

No, not really. He's not as obnoxious as Asta, and has a few quirks about him, but he's still pretty standard.

He's just really mellow like Luffy or Goku.

Asta basically has no chill which is why he's annoying.

Gon's the hero Toonami deserves, but not the one it needs right now.

...

Wait, screw that, Toonami definitely needs him to balance out Asta.

Oh boy, story time with Neji! I can't wait!

I mean more that they take the basic sort of character archetype but with Gon it's both better justified, has more realistic repercussions on the world and is examined more critically, rather than just being like that because that's what shonen heroes are like.

Also, dammit man Neji's great.

Sadly were on Hunter x Hunter's penultimate arc so its ending soon.

Luckily its also the shows longest arc so were gonna be in it for the long run.

Hopefully Black Clover's 1st season ends at that point too.

[up] Well I think their sentient like Naruto & Jiraiya's toads who wear clothes too.

@ Sigilbreaker: As great as the writing is in Hunter x Hunter, the shonen genre really needs to be held to a higher standard instead of diving head-first into the usual conventions like Black Cover does.

(I can't speak for My Hero Academia, but I hear it's very good about turning the usual shonen tropes on their heads, or at least using them in interesting ways.)

Akamaru looks so chill on Kiba's shoulder.

Do not obey in advance.
