THE FIRST SCREENSHOT
For those not listening along, Media Club Plus opened with a live stream where some of the cast showed Jack a few screenshots from the show. This was the first time they saw anything, it was the first time I saw anything (mostly).
And One Of Those Was The Glass Test! A pointing at the screen moment, a That's Chappy moment! It finally has arrived!
Alternative title:
SCHWING???????!!?!?!!?!!!?!!!!!????
Like from Wayne's World???? Really???????
It took a lot to get here. This arc has been, to me, paced very poorly. I get that the viewer needed to learn about Nen/Magic at some point, but I really wish this knowledge was sprinkled throughout, not delivered through long monologues.
But these episodes, they flew.
It was really funny that the 3 main bad guys from this arc said they shouldn't reat Killua and Gon as regular kids. Why Would You? They're 12 and quickly fought up to level 200? They are so obviously Not Normal, Why Would You Ever Assume So?
Regardless, the fights were really fun to watch! In that they all had one major twist that was entertaining, and then the show moved onto the next.
And the real climax was incredibly satisfying. Of course I knew (rather, intuited) that Gon would punch Hisoka in the face and return the number cards. But that first moment when the music cut out was incredibly tense and exciting. Very well done stuff there. That punch really was the climax of the arc. The next episode was just wrapping up loose ends (y'know, the rest of the fight + the two leaving)
Alternative title:
The Hunter Exams Are Over Actually Truly For Real This Time I Mean It (Probably)
Finally Gon can feel good about being a hunter, and (most) everyone else started to learn about Nen too. Of course its a weird blocker, don't want too many people knowing about Nen. Unless you already knew it going in. Or you watch these fights at the battle arena. But its super secret otherwise.
And I'm excited for Gon to bring his boyfriend over to see his mother figure.
Really solid episodes this time around! Hopefully the rest of the series will keep up this pace
