Yeah, I've re-introduced myself to IRC (wow - it's been years) and did a crash course in downloading via XDCC.Quote:

Anyhow, seems like TT is up and down, and NT is in the process of moving their server - so I'll just hang on and be patient, and limit my downloads to those things I really want to watch.
Sucks, I would set my RSS to catch torrents and then utorrent would do the rest, now I have to sift through bot-lists...Quote:

With this though, I need to physically start the download myself, and it eats my Anytime bandwidth, which I need to be kinda careful with.Quote:

I got the 30Gb+30Gb deal with WA because Mweb wanted to be retarded and throttle me to 50% of my line speed most of the time. I just leave all my other stuff to download at about 50-100 kb during the night on my Mweb account, it takes a while but it get's done eventually.Quote:

I'm cool if the narrator shows up for the odd moment to add to the subtleties, but goodness! To have everything telegraphed by the narrator is really not going down good for me as it takes my immersion away and the subtle nature of some of the events are marred...
I feel like the series has always treated me like an intelligent viewer, why become so aggressive with the narration now? I'm pretty sure I can still follow without the smothering narration. If they want to really give exposition, they may as well let the characters themselves be the source of their own exposition, at least it won't completely break the immersion and it would feel a lot more authentic because I'm sure they'd only do so for the subtle moments like the *SPOILER* moment when the team meets youpi for the 1st time while also encountering the Dragon Dive, and every other character marvels at Gon's (followed up by Killua) quick grasp/analysis of the situation.*END OF SPOILER*.
Well, that became more of a rant than I anticipated :o
/end rant
I only rant because I love you Hunter x Hunter.
The narration is also in the manga, I believe it's purpose it to give insight into the characters state of mind and thought without having internal dialogue. I will admit I did annoy me at some points but I got used to it eventually. That being said, if you read the anime after watching the manga it feels like a storyboard more than a manga it is as if they did a complete 1:1 transfer.Quote:

Pitou knew that if Komugi died it would be the end of everything and getting Gon to trust her was her only option at staying alive at that point in time.
This scene was amazing... All his anger all his pain, hurt everything came out... He wanted revenge.

I also love how Knuckle always adds some humor to the whole situation, just by being a total badass.
With you noobs constantly talking about HxH I started watching it last night. So far 12 Eps in:p
