Hello! I'm an artist, writer, and game developer. I work for @7thBeatGames on "A Dance of Fire and Ice" and "Rhythm Doctor."

I run @IndieGamesofCohost where I share screenshots and spotlights of indie games. I also interview devs here on Cohost.
it's so fucking funny that the 1999 HxH anime ended on a cliffhanger, fans were disappointed with that ending, then it got picked up again as a limited OVA series, and then it ended on the scene of Gon and Killua using Accompany and landing.
on the flip side though..........honestly i think that would've been an interesting place for the entire story to just end, and the left is up to your imagination
I can't believe that the random Killua AMV that they find on Media Club Plus and riff about is the EXACT Killua AMV I was hoping they meant, and literally one of the only AMVs that I would rewatch over and over as a kid.
Whenever people gush about old AMVs it's NEVER something I actually remember from my childhood, but here we are. We made it. I think about this one all the time.
I know that Hunter x Hunter will probably go down in history as Togashi's biggest and most beloved work, but...............
among many other things...
When Gon has his big moment (in Chimera Ant), I feel absolutely nothing.
When Yusuke has his big moment (in Dark Tournament), I'm still like almost moved to tears every time.
I dunno if it's apples and oranges to compare those two climaxes. Or maybe it's proof that Killua is emotionally more the "protagonist" of the story? Or maybe Togashi just gets all is juiciest stuff for his heroes out of the way in the first half of his stories, then comes up dry.
I just feel like Gon never got anything that felt like it had any sort of thematic weight or interest for him. I love Gon, but it never felt like his story went anywhere.
