HunterXHunter and somehow it evolved into a mini-rant on Naruto/Sasuke

Re-watching HunterXHunter.

KILLUA *squish* RABURABU!

If Togashi-sensei ever gets over his sprawling attention span and start concentrating on the main plot involving Gon's father, or Kurapika's vengeance against the Ryodan I'll be forever grateful. Hell, work in Killua's family and I'll be a mindless mass of pure happiness. Mind you, having a condensed running commentary of the newest volume by nekomancy give me hope. Gon's teacher has appeared, and the Hunters have made a mass appearance against the... uh... bug/human/animal hybrid.

I have hope for HXH no matter how much the current plotline sounds like a 50's B-grade horror/sc-fi film. Let's face it, manga/anime like any other medium, reuse plots and ideas, it's just a matter of how well the old themes are worked into the new format. Therefore, I have hope! To tell you the truth I'm much more in love with the HXH manga and anime than I am with Naruto.

Gon and Killua's friendship is a healing balm for me against Naruto and Sasuke's melodrama of a relationship. When I say relationship I mean that in every way. If Naruto and Sasuke are not screwing each other now they will be in the future. I refuse to say I'm imagining Naruto/Sasuke when K-sensei is all but shovelling it down our collective throats under the pretense of a 'platonic' rivalry.

See, three/four volumes ago I was all 'Naruto and Sasuke in the manga are only friends/rivals. It's only my fangirl mind that see the potential for anything more.' NO more. Three/four volumes ago it seemed Sasuke actually cared for Sakura, three/four volumes ago I thought Naruto was finally going to notice Hinata, three/four volumes ago Naruto and Sasuke weren't even interacting with each other. NO more. Now it's pretty much Naruto and Sasuke all way. Hell, ever when neither is seen in the manga it's still the 'Naruto and Sasuke' show.

See, this is what happens when the mangaka spend four volumes painting a world where it is all about Naruto and Sasuke. So, no more guilt (never felt any to begin with) over Naruto and Sasuke. As far as I'm concerned Naruto and Sasuke doing the hot monkey sex at some point in the future is canon (even if it isn't on screen). So, unless K-sensei suddenly decide to do a 180 degree turn and make Sakura the centre of the Universe for Sasuke, and stop telling us that Sasuke is like Naruto's one and only 'friend' my yaoi fangirl and my logical normal girl are in 100% agreement.

Some people say I'm delusional, personally I prefer observant ^__^V Beside, unless someone can prove me 100% wrong I'm gonna stick to what I'm seeing.

Deep love for HxH. Killua may be my all-time favorite, though he does have some stiff competition in Ed and Ryouma. They get together, in my Storyspace, with Duo to play poker, every Wednesday.

I am in full agreement.

And I totally want to watch HunterxHunter.

Pleh, I am in full agreement about HXH, as I have screamed to all and sundry, about Togashi not finishing plots. At least Kishimoto is going somewhere with the story, although I find the Naruto and Sasuke thing somewhat repetitive, and I just want him to release us from the suspense over whether Sasuke gets to wear the totally dorky musical note headband or not (jeez, what were they thinking?!)

I'm with you on the HxH love, but I kind of lost interest when Togashi did things with the plot I wasn't interested in.

I have so much love, though, for the Gon and Killua relationship. Coolest, cutest friendship ever. See, Sasuke started out kind of like Killua, but compared to Killua's character growth he's just gotten less... and less... and less cooler.

YES I AM VALIDATED!

Seriously, though, when I first got into Naruto I thought SasuNaru was just one of those bogus couples people throw into bed together because they look nice. No. No, that's not how it is at all. They are twelve, and there is so much UST there it makes me kind of rub my eyes together and go, "Buh? Did they just do that?"
