Hunter X Hunter

Hey Guys,

welcome to one of my favorite Manga series finally on DVD in Germany – Hunter x Hunter. There are two versions of this series. Nippon Animation produced in the year 1999 62 episodes of the Manga-Hit. Personally I like the old series more than the new on from 2011. Madhouse produced them and made 148 episode which includes every Arc from the Manga. Here we are talking about the new version of Hunter X Hunter.

Better than nothing?

Like I said before I love the first version of the series. It is not sooo close to the Manga than the new one. The old series played a little more with the scenario. I loved the other parts of the exam. The new version is not bad. The Animation is great and the story is great too. How could it not? Because this new version is a lot closer to the original than before – sadly they kinda left the whole part with Kaito out . We see the characters we love in exactly the same situations, with the same reaction that we loved. So the story is still great and made me want to reread the Manga.

Gon and his amazing journey

Hunter x Hunter is the story about Gon and his friends. Gon is a young boy who wants to find his father. Kaito is a Hunter Gon meets and who tells him that his father is a Hunter and still alive, but that he doesn’t want to be found. So Gon declares that he will become a Hunter and find his father. On this way Gons nice and also a little naive character makes it easy for him to find friends. Once a friend Gon will give everything for them.
In the Anime sometimes you think ‘Gon your are a Mary Stu’. But you just have to love him.

Friends for ever

Gon is not alone on his journey. On the first test he meets Leorio and Kuparika. Leorio wants to become a Hunter to get money. Really fast you find out that Leorio has a good heart and is a lot more than he lets on. From all the people we met in this adventure Leorio is the most normal person but that doesn’t stop him. Kuparika is the only survivor of his clan. He wants to become a Hunter to get revenge. These three built a team from the start and I love them and the trust and respect they develop really fast for each other.
Later there is another person that becomes a part of the team – Killuah. Killuah is in the same age as Gon and likes him from the start. He comes from a family of assassin and his already a really good one. He gets really fast bored. When he meets the group Killuah wants to be more than an assassin.

Watching or not

I just have the first Box-Set with 13 episodes. But they are good and solid. The characters are great and have amazing chemistry between them. I think that the Anime is worth watching it. Maybe you like the new one more than the old one or the other way around. But one thing is clear the story is amazing. So watch the series or read the Manga. The story is totally amazing. I love four babies and are happy to follow their adventures on their way to fulfill their dreams.

A silent voice (Koe no Katachi)

Hey Guys,

i want to tell you about the one Manga i bought on the Connichi that was for me the Manga of the year – A silent Voice. Normaly i don’t write about Manga. I don’t know if you can buy the Manga in your country, but i will inform me. So why do i write about this one, because this one is special. This one is breaking my heart, gives me hope and shows me how cruel the world is – how cruel kids are. This is not a fantasy, horror or scifiction it is not over the top dramatic. It is real life.

What is it about

It goes about a girl. This girl is really really strong – not in a physical way but in any other way. She is deaf. When we first met her in the story she is really young. She visit primary school and kids are cruel. She got mopped is a too soft word for it. The main actor is a young boy. He is weak and mainly just bored. When she came into their class. Everything changed. They had problems in lessions. Because she needed to much time to write her answer down in the talk round. Everyone in the class found special and thought that she was the problem. Also i must say that the teacher doesn’t handle her well. One of the teacher is making it worse because he make it seems like it is her fault.
So this one boy choose do to what everyone else was thinking. After he started mopping her everyone joined him. This is were the story starts. We follow these two people through her life. We see how she is dealing with what life is throwing at her and we see how he handles what he did to her.

This is about forgiveness

This story is not making him the bad boy. I mean i really don’t liked him very much obviously. But after he got the fault for everything that happend to her is life changed alot. He understood what he did to her and doesn’t know who he should life with that knowledge. When he met her again. We see they strength this girl has. She never gives anyone the fault. She doesn’t want to hurt people, she doesn’t want revenge. She has strength to forgive people. This girl handles life so much better than anyone else. It is so sad to see her sister and mother trying to protect her, when she don’t even need it. The way her mother treated her… and don’t understand how strong her daugther is. It is life in all his form. This is a story about a really strong girl.

Information

The story can be watched as Anime (which i didn’t watched) on crunchyroll.
Also it was published in America by Kodansha, in France by Edition Ki-oon, in spain by Milky Way Ediciones, italy by Edizioni Star Comics and in china by Tong Li Publishing. So go read it.

Connichi Special 1: Garden of Words

This was the first Movie i watched on the Connichi. I think everyone knows Ghibli (Howls Moving Castle, Spirited Away and so on). I love that films, because of the athmosphere, the music and the amazing landscape. Makoto Shinkai is handled as the new Hayao Miyazaki so i had to watch it.

Before i tell you something about the Story i will tell you about the for me really important thing. The picture in the Movie, the whole movie, the landscape, the rain everything is really beautifull. He knows how to created pictures. together with really amazing music it createds an amazing athmosphere. The rain and the music make it sad, full of hope and dreams.

This is not a funny film, it is not really an very sad film. The main-mood is just a bit sad and sometimes a bit depressing, but like i said also filled with hopes and dreams. So yeah it is not a film to have a nice evening. This is an serious theme. It doesn’t give you right or wrong. It doesn’t tell you how they end up. Their just showing you a part of two lifes. Nothing more and nothing less. There is no action, not much talk, you can say nothing much happend in that will. But i like him. Not so much that i think that i have to buy him so i can watch him again and again, but so much that i am happy that i watched him.

So knows let me tell a little about the Story. There is student that have the dream to make shoes. Everyday it rains he skip the lessions in school to go in the park. There he meets a young woman and they began to meet there everytime it rains. I don’t want to tell more because than you don’t have to watch it anymore.

I bought other films of him. If you want i can write about them too. Until next time 😉
