User blog:AssassinsTears/Episode 22: Gon? Reasonable? In what universe? (Review)

First of all, I kept expecting everybody to burst into song because of the musical. -_-

The episode was very good for an episode in which nothing overly exciting happened. It was quite necessary, and somehow or other they managed to make it interesting. Due to its nuts-'n-bolts nature, this review is actually rather insubstantial.

LOL at the guide-san. LOL at Leorio's reaction to Killua's mug shot being worth so much cash. And, when I paused at to take a screenshot (Why? To use as wallpaper, obviously.) I discovered that Togashi-sama's puppy fursona is once again depicted in the background. I'll be keeping a closer watch for those in the future. *rubs chin thoughtfully*

Everything sticks pretty close to the original, down to Zebero-san's habit of calling Killua "Killua-bochan," an affectionate name I've heard is often reserved for sons. The dialogue was pretty much straight from the manga. They added a couple more visual bits to emphasize Gon-kun's stubbornness, like how long he kept on climbing the wall. xD

I think the epic purple aura is a Zoldyck thing, due to Killua's purple-ness during the airship battle, the purple atmosphere during the Illumi/Killua confrontation, and now around Mike. Mike did gain the Zoldyck last name during the musical... I think the little pup is a cutie.

It was a cool touch to have what's-his-name (the butler) flipping a coin during his call with Gon.

The censorship issues have vanished almost completely, by my estimation! Full on skeletons in this episode, and some good 'ol torture in the next!

On the subject of the next episode... Milluki. I hate that guy! Can't stand him! I only saw him for, like, half a second, and for half an hour I was walking around going "God, I hate that guy!!" But I digress.

Once again, Hunters... steer clear of pissed off Gons. =^^=
