A well written villain can be as much fun as a well written protagonist. Phantom Troupe are well written. However, with Gon’s dad we don’t really have much to go on. We saw him being cool riding on a dinosaur, but aside from that, we only know he regularly abandoned his responsibilities (running off leaving his cousin behind, and running off leaving Gon behind). If we get screen time with him, things might (or might not) change.

a lot of manga writers inspired from togashi who made hunterxhunter, he introduced a lot of more serious thematics in the shonen industry, even Naruto had the inspiration for SHARINGAN and UCHIWA CLAN from kurapika and the kuruta clan. and togashi characters thinking live and explaining their reflections style (which is why hxh is my favorite anime) has been inspired from jojo's bizarre adventure

I just googled and found out that the word mummy itself is derived from the Persian/Arabic word mummiya, meaning 'tar' or 'bitumen', It's the way we sait in arabic too, and that's the reason why It was subrising to hear that it's the way you say it in Serbian.

"I'm going to love them". Togashi is so good at writing likable and interesting characters, especially people you feel like you shouldn't like.
Starting here is when HxH truly clicked into something truly special and great for me.

The heroes were the Phantom Troupe (including Hisoka, the secretly fake member), Kurapika and his fellow newly recruited body guards, and Killua & Gon.
This is one view of who the "heroes" the ep's title refers to.

Milena (sorry if I spelled it wrong) is right about the word Mummy. It does come from the word mummiya which is originally Arabic and means tar. I guess the English got the name from their Arab guides when they were doing their tomb raiding in Egypt.

Artistic skill is about being able to manipulate the viewer into interpreting your work the way you want it to be interpreted. There are a lot of visual methods to achieve a desired reaction toward a character but it's not an exhaustive list. So manga artists are definitely influenced by one another in this regard but they have to be careful in admitting it publicly as they then run the risk of spoiling their own story.
So yeah, AoT was definitely influenced by Hunter x Hunter but not exclusively. Hange from AoT was inspired for instance by Edward Elric from FMA: obsessive scientist archetype. They also share a similar haircut and the same voice actress. People who recognized this instantly knew that the character will play a major role thus making the plot a little more predictable.

the Kurta clan massacre was 5-6 years ago, in this episode they say they have 2 new members, one is Hisoka. Hisoka joined them 2-3 years before this meeting.
About the arcs, there's not an arc that is better than others...people have their own preferences and there's more than this arc or Chimera arc
I forgot how long it took to get here. No fear at all for kurapika ladies? You think he’s ready for this? They are for sure a fun group but I remember being super nervous once I realized they were kurapika opposition

Wouldn't 5 episodes in one day mean about a 2+ week break from the show for you? I think you two would explode after one week without the boys. (Or you could just binge the show way ahead of your upload schedule like Seantanktop does)

Attack on Titan author might have been influenced /inspired by HxH characters/their designs . Thats why you see so many characters looking like AoT characters. HxH in general is liked by a lot of manga authors/anime industry people in general
Edgar
2023-06-23 20:32:20 +0000 UTC
Isayama said he was inspired by Rorschach(a DC hero) and Hiei , another character created by the same author of HxH, Togashi. Since Feitan is the evolution of Hiei makes sense to believe that he was inspired by him too, in that interview he talked just about Levi so we don't know about the other characters but it is likely...

Idk if Isayama REALLY based any of his characters on HxH, either. The only thing I've ever found is that he based Levi on the comic book character Rorschach from Watchmen. Here's a quick source if anybody's interested in reading it.

if milluki zoldyck loses weight he becomes more of levi than feitan
