Hunter x Hunter

Thanks to ban_ch4n lending me her DVDs, I'm now compulsively watching the afforementioned show. And holly hell, is it ever addictive! I was more than pleasantly surprised by how engaging the plot is, but the characters are really the ones that make the series for me. Somewhat predictably, Kurapika's become my favorite, right off the bat; still, I'm no less likely to wibble over Leorio being his adorably earnest (and somewhat doofy) self, or want to give Gon and Killua lots of hugs. In the short space of fifteen episodes (so far), I've grown really attached to them, and honestly want them to succeed at their goals.

Add to that a beautifully bad Hong Kong sub, which messes up every single character's name, and you've got a winner. Yes, I regard the crap subbing quality as a good thing. It's not so bad as to be incomprehensible, and it can provide endless amusement for the easily amused. :-p

Now, if only there were more fanworks out there. Anyone? I'm open to suggestions.
