User blog comment:OnePieceNation/Your anime History, with Hunter X Hunter highlighted./@comment-4828844-20131106044730

I know this is already an old blog but I sill want to share. Here goes:

Starting point:

I was introduced in the world of anime probably when I was six years old or younger. My father watched Yu Yu Hakusho a lot (believe me, he fanboys a lot). Next, there was Rurouni Kenshin and Inu Yasha. As a child I barely understood what it was all about but it was certainly enjoyable. Let us not forget about Pokemon and Dragon Ball! My mom usually complained about my father watching too much Dragon Ball. He had been watching it ever since she was pregnant of me and six years later, we are both watching it. (Lol)

Hunter × Hunter and me:

Like I said, my father made me watch anime since I was six years old. I remember him watching  a certain anime and the characters looked interesting. I just got home that day from school and found him watching Hunter × Hunter (the 1999 series, of course). I remember the episode, somewhere around episode 58 or 59 wherein Pakunoda was interrogating Killua in the car and had her left arm around his shoulder. Yes, I distinctly remember it. XD

Ever since then I've been watching H×H ever since. My father even bought a DVD copy just to watch the Greed Island arc. When I was around thirteen years old, I discovered this wiki and started editing it. Since I got so used to the 1999 series, I didn't read the manga until the Hunter Chairman Election arc.

2011 H×H and onwards:

I refused to watch the 2011 series right from the start. I was really against the idea of rebooting it when they could have just continued where the 1999 series left off. I really didn't watch the first episode; I only saw pictures in the internet. I was already an admin here in Hunterpedia when it came out but I still didn't watch. I let the other contributors do the summary. But then, a channel featured H×H and it was already in the Yorknew City arc when Chrollo was fighting Silva and Zeno. And you must know, I fangirl a lot on Chrollo and I idolize the Zoldycks!!! So I swallowed my pride and wathced the entire episode. Although the 2011 version is lighter than the 1999 one, it still looked great.

After that I didn't watch the series again until the Chimera Ant arc came up. I started watching from Episode 86 onwards (the reason why I'm doing all the summaries now).

Up until now, my father and I are avid fans of H×H and we fanboy/fangirl a lot when a new episode comes out. His favorite character is Hisoka and the Zoldyck family, especially Killua, Silva and Zeno! He doesn't know anything beyond the anime beyond this point which is Episode 103.

Random conversation time!

Dad: Any new episode yet?

Me: Not yet. They update every Wednesday.

-The next day-

Dad: Any episode on Killua yet?

Me: Not yet. It's every Wednesday.
