 You know, just like One Piece, I know a lot of you have been waiting for this one. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the very first episode of our Hunter X Hunter, or do I just call it Hunter Hunter? Oh no, I already screwed up. Welcome to the very first episode of our Hunter Hunter Reaction Series, episode one called Departure and Friends. I don't think I read the X's in between the title names. I see they're all like that. But today we are starting off this brand new journey, having recently also started on One Piece, two very big undertakings. Of course, One Piece is much longer. But still, I'm very excited to see what all the hype is about in Hunter Hunter. I'm pretty sure. I know I said One Piece was my most requested. I'm pretty sure I've seen more comments about Hunter Hunter. So it has to be good, right? I know absolutely nothing about this show aside from the main character's name being Gown, and that he's just like that short kid. That's pretty much it. And I love going into a journey that line because I have absolutely no idea what to expect. I'm going to stop wasting time. We're going to hop into it. But before we do, if you're new to the channel, drop a sub, hit that big boy bell. Make sure you don't miss these future episodes. Get started on the journey now. With that being said, here is episode one of Hunter Hunter. Oh, getting started with the opening. Okay. Now, what can I draw from this intro about what this show involves? I love his eyes. I can tell he's a very optimistic protagonist. Okay. I believe this accounts to four people. He looks kind of badass. I'm not going to lie. He looks sick. I've seen him like in terms of like merch and stuff many times before as well. So they're going to a tower. Villains, obvious villains, all villains. Those looks like more like they're there to help the protagonist. The first couple were definitely villains. Okay. He's getting drugged by the boy that he is dead, bro. He kept his hands in his pockets. Definite villain. I've seen him before too in terms of like art and stuff. Yeah, fight between them two inevitable. All right. Not a bad, not a bad first intro. I like it. Let's get this bad boy going. This is starting to feel like the beginning of one piece. Okay. Parturing friends. Should I say departure ex and ex friends. Whale Island. Wait, it looks like a whale. That's cute. I guess that's the point. Duh, Jack. Come on. This looks like a nice little town. I like it. And there he is. Clearly an animal person. The Lord. Is that just a big fish? How young is he? Bro, he's in shot yet. Meet the son. Is this his mom or just a caretaker? So his dad's not here. Typical anime protagonist. He has patience. Like how he's all disguised with the hat and like the leaves on his little jacket. Maybe he doesn't need strength. He just needs technique. Go, go, go. I believe also I've been told that like this series never finished being animated. I don't know what happened. Like I don't know if the manga kept going or if the manga stopped and that's why the show stopped. You guys can probably clear it up for me. See, it's the technique. Oh my gosh. That is more than just a fish. That is I guess it said there were like monsters. Oh, did he actually catch it? It's cracked. Wait, so he can take all the last person that caught it was his father? So now he can take the hunter exam. She does not seem like she wants him to. He just gets right to the, cuts right to the chase. I like how bright his eyes are. He looks like such a kind soul. I mean, he is a kid. He's not tarnished. Huh. So hunters chase this. I didn't really understand what the intro meant by like energy of the universe. Is that his dad? Hmm. He runs in the family. It's like a sign of maturity that he could catch it. Is he alive? Abandon his child. That's that's one take on it. Girls like that's the fun in life. Why he would want to abandon Like it must be insane to be a hunter to want to leave your kid or he's just a terrible person and just left because he doesn't want the responsibility. It could go both ways. Oh, his little backpack, bro. He seems so young to be leaving. But seemingly he can handle himself. He can catch a fish that big, a monster that big. Pinky promise. I like his voice actor too. A thousand? Oh, that's so cute. I don't think this is mom, but she's clearly raised him and cares for him. Maybe it is, I can't tell. He calls her Mito-san. I would think he would say mom, I don't know. But I mean, clearly like the grandma said, you can't stop him, he's made up his mind. That's an adorable little house. All right, we're already setting up a little bit of world building. Also the mystery of his dad. Like his dad's probably still alive and gonna come into the picture at some point. But how is the question? It's nice that everybody's seeing him off. He's so small. I just get confused on what these hunters hunt. I mean, clearly it's gonna, most likely gonna clarify, but I mean, even Gon doesn't know exactly what they do, I'm guessing. The mystery behind it. Okay, this is really one piece now. Millions? Oh, there's that dude. Is he reading Playboy? Oh, there's that dude. That is an enormous sword. Are all of them going to take the exam? Hey, leave him alone. Why are you picking up, cause you kicked him. Well, captain's here. He's working on it. Oh, his nose is like striped. I was just about to say storms are coming. He really is one with the animals. Dang, son, man's agile. I guess he's like 13, maybe? Max? Batten down the hatches. Whatever that means. You can tell he's serious. Not lying. Oh, could he be? Does he know Gon's dad? I think he did recognize it in his eyes. Oh my goodness. They're literally all gonna die. Thank goodness he warned them. My goodness. He's just enjoying himself. Well, we are getting started. Geez, does not waste any time. We've already gotten a good idea of who Gon is, though, as a person. I think he's having too much fun. At least he loves what he does. Hunter vocabulary. Oh, that's cute. Okay, it's such just like an intercut. I liked his reaction to being labeled. This captain's just having the time of his life. Oh my. He's not even remotely seasick. Dang, this kid is nuts. He's holding up better than everyone else. This kid too. And then the tall dude, yeah. Those three, yeah. They're all recognizing Gon. That's the new captain of the ship. Oh, he brought them up. Wait, is Kurapika a girl? Sounds kind of feminine. I actually, that was a dude. And the third weight, did he already know that? Like I said, I thought he recognized Gon's dad's eyes. Ah, he did. I missed the tall dude's name. Leorio. Oreo. Oh, I think it's a girl. That's my bad. Oh, God, dang. The deep thinker of the group. They already very varying personalities, clearly. Wait, what? Is he like a referee or an official? This is part of it? Oh, dude, Gon's already passed the first test then. Man, it's like a perfect contender. Oh, so they have to start reading people out as soon as they leave. That's funny. Oh my gosh. Hey, but they're already eliminated. Everyone, so Gon's the only one? Well, they have to pass. Oh, dang. Look at like dropped to their knees begging. Oh, he's given him a chance. He's so small. I love him. Oh, dang. Oh, dang. The phantom troop. OK, so there's different hunters. Bounty hunters. Oh, I smell a future villain. That's cold, bro. The red glimmer. Damn. I mean, you don't know what potential being a hunter opens up to you. Yeah, there you go. Resources. Dang, absolutely roasted. He's just a peacemaker. Oh, this should be good. I expected about as much. Oh, gosh. And he already was reading like a playboy. He's just like money, women, alcohol. Oh, bang. Put them in his place. Oh, dude, this won't get you a pass on the test by fighting. Like the sounds of the storm outside. Oh, dang. He really cut him. Oh, he said boys. So is it, dude? He just sounds feminine. Even smaller. Boy, Mito-san really molded going into a good kid. He's a therapist. Even this ship captain is like, dang, good thinking, kid. Well, now they're all going to die. It won't even matter. Hey, he's a good captain. Clearly, he knows what he's doing. At least he's not some fluke. Oh, maybe some of the people on board will redeem themselves by helping, although he already said they're eliminated. They're just going to face off during this. Guys, more important matters to attend to. Wait, why do I feel like Leo Oreos actually cracked? I'm kind of scared of him. It's like the stance. Leo, son. My man, he's just got a knife. Uh-oh. Oh, it's like two wood sticks. Can't tell. I feel like Leo Oreos' fighting style is like a knife is kind of appropriate. I don't know why. No! They have to put aside their differences and save him. Oh, I need to die. He put his life in their hands, too. He had no plan extending beyond that. If they caught him, they caught him. If they didn't, they didn't. Dang, dude. Gold already proving himself to be a worthwhile MC. But it died. Inherently, he kind of just helped them because he probably got them brownie points by helping save, what's his name? Katsuwa. Thank you. Like this guy's going to be in the picture, too. Or maybe recurring. Now they know what it's like to be the hero. Oh, it's a very wholesome group. I like their dynamic already. I don't know where the fourth kid is, the one that's kind of the size of gold. Let's go, friendship. Oh, that's sweet. Nice. Gold's just happy that everybody's getting along. They pass. Let's go. Wait, so the rest of the ship still did fail. He sees their character now. Nice. The Oreo smile, bro. He's just so small. Thus it begins. Wait, what a setup episode for the first. Already a lot kind of groundwork there. Okay, and so concludes the first episode of Huns or Huns. I actually am already kind of reeled in. Fun not really intended, but the whole fishing rod thing. Gold, like I said, already a very, very likable MC. Kind of gives me the vibes of Tanjiro from Demon Slayer. I don't know why, kind of just like that pure soul. Not every shonen has a pure soul like MC. Like most are good, but some just like are like almost too good. But again, going and starting off the show with this promise, starting world building promise he would return to Mito-san one day and already forming a general core of this group, only missing that one other kid. I have so much intrigue as to what hunters do because clearly there's many types. Because Kurapika, is that how you say his name? He wants to be a bounty hunter, but I don't know what other kind of branches there are. Or what Gold's father's goal was becoming one. But guys, that has been it for episode one of our Huns or Huns. And watch your limit with that episode down in comments below. Was it a good setup? What do you think of going as an MC so far? If you've already seen the show, what do you think of my first impression? With that being said, I hope you guys have a wonderful rest of your day, as per usual, and I'll catch you in the next one. Peace.
