I make visual novels! Also play them sometimes. Wish I had time for more of both. I also do a podcast and LPs, because I don't know how to stop myself.

A thing about the anime's episode titles, at least the early ones, is that they're all mostly-untranslatable wordplay, sort of.

It's all a play on the very first intro, the "these people are called Hunters" bit.
珍獣・怪獣 (chinjuu . kaijuu) rare beasts . strange beasts
財宝・秘宝 (zaihou . hihou) expensive gems . secret gems
魔境・秘境 (makyou . hikyou) evil lands . secret lands

These are all pairs with a similar ending and the episode titles work the same way.
タビダチ×ト×ナカマタチ(tabidachi x to x nakmatachi) departure x and x friends
シケン×ノ×シケン (shiken x no x shiken) test x of x tests
ライバル×ガ×サバイバル (raibaru x ga x sabaibaru) rivals x for x survival

The best of these is
ヒソカ×ハ×ヒソカ (hisoka x ha x hisoka) hisoka x is x sneaky
because Hisoka's name is just the Japanese word for sneaky.

I am absolutely loving this show. My only complaint is there's no backlog for me to binge on. To that end, can anyone recommend any podcasts doing a similar thing with other anime?
