Everyone is.

 

Incidentally...

 

Chewin, any idea where you wrote that paragraph for the Ant Arc?

 

Would like to show it to my mum.

 

She's realllllllyyy upset over 135.

 

lmao

 

You are going to show a post of mine to your mum?

 

Oh my Sim!

 

This is too soon for me! I am deeply touched by the sentiment.

 

Anyway joking aside, gonna see if I can dig it up. But it isn't anything special mind you, so doubt it will make her feel much better.

lol that was easier than I expected.

 

Here it is:

 

Finished Chimera Ant Arc.

 

Well, it goes without saying that it is a brilliant arc. Not only does it manage to stand on its own in HxH, but also when it comes to anime in general. Chimera Ant arc in essence brings forward the concept of human nature, its strengths and flaws. The arc puts heavy emphasis on displaying this through various avenues, everything from philosophical to political ideas, and manages to execute all of these aspects in tandem with the narrative. The episode consist of, what 60-70 episodes? (half of the show's 148 episodes) but never did I found myself bored or that the show tried to drag on just for the sake of it. Even though certain events had a stand still wherein it came to the plot--where no real progress was actually made for several episodes--it never felt unnecessary, since the arc always wanted to convey something; be it in form of a particular theme that the show wanted to put into the limelight, characterization or simply an engaging fight sequence. That is what really amazed me with this arc, that almost everything was executed so well.

 

While there are plenty of reasons for why I loved this arc, what lies in the heart of it all is King, who is an exceptional character. While he isn't that effective of an adversary (I found Pitou to be more capable one, considering everything she accomplishes throughout the arc) what makes King compelling is what he represents in the story. King is easily the most human character in the whole show (alongside Gon and Killua of course) and is someone who we get to experience a plethora of aspects through. Through him we get to explore concepts of individuality, evolution, politics, loyalty, love, and much more. Through King, we get to explore both the travesty and beauty of humanity, but mostly the latter. B/c the beauty that we get to witness is in how we humans possesses the ability to grow, both as individuals and as a society. There is beauty to be find in our flaws, how imperfect we are and how we can acknowledge it and overcome it. Both humanities pros and cons are explored in the arc, and it is certainly fitting that King's true name is a nice reflection to it.

 

King as a character, and the arc alone, certainly lands high on my list of things that I appreciate.

 

Hope it makes your mother feel better in some capacity :)

You know, being the poster of a thousand Sayaka gifs doesn't sound too shabby.


Few in this thread will ever hope to achieve greatness. But I believe in you.

You will achieve this. You will become Chewin - survivor of the 1000 Sayaka gif challenge.

I'm glad Geth is back.
 
I hope he goes to Otakon.
 
So he can take a picture with Romi Park.
 
And I can photoshop Isi into it.
 
P.S
 
Happy Birthday Gravs.
 
I hope you watch Hunter x Hunter one day.

Please Liam, as I said the real reward here comes from the Sayaka gifs. The Berserk figure is really just a minor extra reward.

Yay, Geth is back! I'm disappointed that you didn't bring Puddi back with you, I thought you both ran off together.
