Oh no, I'm binging these as I only found out about them last week, and I'm going to catch up soon. Watch faster! XD

I find it very funny that last Wednesday I sent in a Q/A Question while I was behind on the show and podcast. And tonight I binged 2/3rds of Greed Island.

I'm late for the Q&A, but you guys need to know about Trouble Quartet, Togashi's rejected sports manga from the 80s. https://imgur.com/a/fg7Fefo

Question: Sylvi, congratulations to you and Chrollo on your marriage! What did you wear to your wedding? (Also this podcast absolutely rules, thank you for finally getting me to watch HxH, you're all delights)

Question: Congratulations on being almost halfway through with HxH! That's incredible and this show has truly been a blast. I was wondering for the future of the podcast, do you already have ideas of what media you'll cover next? Been really enjoying the bonus episodes along with the main show. (Feel free to ignore this, but was also curious if you have any plans to cover anything non-anime? Loving the anime coverage of course, but was just curious about the MC+ parameters, if there was an anime only unspoken rule) Thank you so much and apologies if this question is too general or if you've answered it already!

Question: Skipping the movie?

Question: Any chance you can give your thoughts on a specific bit at the end of the Kurapika and Uvo fight? I feel like I was missing a look into the scene where he's inflicting cold and steady almost analytical violence, scientifically figuring out what attacks worked on Uvo, and then his outburst of disgust about how the violence makes him feel. I think there's a lot about Kurapika's rage and commitment to doing violence contrasted with the burying of his emotions that really bubbles to the surface in that moment and I'd love to hear what you all think!

If the main 4 were in the world of Heiron, what would be their class/ where would they be from?

Rowan Gavin

Statement: Aunt Mito is the most devestatingly tragic character in these arcs of Hunter X Hunter. Discuss.

Question: who are your respective faves among the Phantom Troupe, from what you've watched for the show so far?

D B

Say for some reason you manage to qualify as hunters, get your card and nen powers. What is it would you dedicate yourself to "hunting"?

Lawson Coleman

if the main 4 are on a road trip, how are they occupying their time, and what are they playing when they get the aux?

Rebloac

Question for Jack: What, knowing what you know now, is a Chimera Ant?

Robert Lasica

Question: If you had to play a "friends at the table "season as a character from Hunter X Hunter, who would you play as?

iver

i am already so excited to hear answers. q&a going to go crazy

Friends at the Table

leaving a note to myself to force everyone to answer this including the main 4, then again excluding the main 4.

Friends at the Table

i promise to bring this up when it happens in the show, for sure

Question for all: Shounen Anime and it's long-running format, as you've all discussed, excels at showing characters gradual progression of maturity and strength. Showing how they learn, regress a little, but ultimately reflect and grow. What moments big or small have really stood out to you for one of our main cast (Gon, Killua, Kurapika, or Leorio)? P.S. Rapid fire bonus question: Four of you, four of our main characters, you all have to swap outfits with them. Who gets which fit? P.S.S. You're all great and I look forward to the pod each upload!

Question for all-but-Jack: What, if anything, about Jack's response or experience with HxH was unexpected for y'all? (Did anyone predict Demon World Theory?) Thanks for making this podcast, it got me to watch a show I never would have otherwise, and that I now really enjoy.

Christopher Metzger

You’re probably not at a point to talk freely about this yet, but just in case (or for future discussion): Ever since the screenshot discussion, I’ve been dying to know what the bonus screenshot was that they didn’t show to Jack because it was borderline spoilery.

Anna McCormick

Question for Jack: As someone new to the series (apart from screenshot exposure), what aspect of HxH have you found the most surprising?

I was re-listening to the miss neon episode today and just thought yall might be interested to know the miss neon's prediction technique is based on a real technique from spiritualism and parol magic called spirit writing or automatic writing. It was popular during the spiritualism boom of the late 19th and early 20th century. WB Yeats and Arthur Conan Doyle were practioners and Doyle even demonstrated the technique for Harry Houdini and his wife! The technique works similarly to miss neons nen ability but was often used to communicate with ghosts rather than predict the future as she does.

Question for group: please describe your HxH universe Nen user persona's... fashion sense/drip. Do you go normcore with an eccentric headpiece, business man Leorio, fancy boy assassin, or perhaps full bondage gear? Please and thank you!

Sawyer Sipes

most of my questions are related to later stuff / manga stuff, but i just want to say that this podcast has been an absolute buoy to my spirits and i assume to those of many others. thank you all so much, both for such a rip-roaring good time but also for such engaging and insightful analysis! i feel smarter and happier after each episode :)

iver

which character from hunter hunter would you all most like to hang out with !!

Morgan Jackson

Question for Jack: having seen what you've seen so far, what scenes would you use for your OWN devious Screenshot Game with someone you would want to watch Hunter X Hunter?
