Hunter x Hunter-Episodes 33-38
Episode 35: Hmmm, Gon's fight with Hisoka seemed a little out of character. In the last episode, we see Gon uses cunning and tactics in order to outsmart his enemies in order to win but at the start of this fight he just went brute force and try to just land a hit on Hisoka. This didn't really feel like how Gon would handle things. Killua maybe, but Gon tends to be less hotheaded than that. He did use the tactic of lifting a floor tile again right after, so it wasn't for very long but it still took me out a bit.
Episode 36: And that wraps the Heaven's Arena arc. Whilst enjoyable and of more substance than the Zoldyck Family arc, I still think the Hunter Exam arc has been the best. This arc quickly fell into a formula of a fighting episode then a training episode, rinse and repeat. Whilst the fighting episodes were good, the training episodes fell a little flat for me. I understand the need for pacing but I didn't find them too interesting. I was also disappointed Kurapika's Nen training took place entirely off screen, that would have been good to show to break up the formula. Oh well, as I say, it was still very enjoyable none the less. On to the Yorknew arc next. Very excited about it, it's supposed to be the best arc of the show.
Episode 38: This show really loves setting up arcs in advance. First it set up the Yorknew arc before the Heaven's Arena arc started and now it's set up the Greed Island arc before the Yorknew arc has even started. I really like that the show does this, it makes the arcs seem to flow together better.
