those are my favourite arcs too! I totally agree about the maruem and komugi part. I remember watching the chimera arc ending song and wondering who komugi was hahaha. Actually, I found there's not a lot of females in hxh. Or maybe it's just that the main characters are all guys lol. Well for a pretty long time I thought kurapika was a girl LOL
there are a bunch of girls in hxh but they're not heavily focused on at all (except maybe biscuit) and lol for the longest time me and my friends were debating about that back when we were watching the 1999 version.

flawless thread for a flawless anime. hey all

my favorites are yorknew city arc and chimera ant arc so far but i am also loving this arc as well. alluka and killua's sibling love is killing me with adorableness. can killua be even more perf
and meruem and komugi last scenes was one of the most touching and beautiful scenes in shounen ever. i loved that it was such an intimate and private moment just for them (+ palm but i actually think there was a reason she was the one to see that)also i love that togashi focuses on the world at the periphery of the MCs and how the villains are all different personalities with different motives. also i love how all of the fights are all very strategy based. and yes there needs to be more badass females that are focused on althought there is already a lot of females in the show and they're all pretty much interesting because they are written so differently. but meh on a mikasa type of character tho. i think she deserves a bit more personality lol.
From the way the anime talked about Ging in the first couple arcs, they made it seem like he was this guy who was really respected by others and people look up to him and he does all these good things. But once the chairman arc comes around, you find that everyone actually hates him and like you said, he's a dick. lol.
It confused me why they made him look so great in the beginning, but I guess they were spinning it positively since Gon was so crazy about looking for him. Probably didn't want us to hate Ging just yet
bless the hunter association for agreeing that ging is a shitty and selfish father

Hahaha that's true. Well I don't hate him exactly but I keep wondering if there's a reason (like some big noble cause) for the way he acts or he's just truly like that.
Has anyone watched the older hxh? Where does the story stop at cause I've heard the manga went on hiatus a couple of times? Oh and is the current anime close to the manga?? (I hate when the anime runs out of material...my worst nightmare T^T)i think ging is just like that. it's where gon gets it from lol.
yup i watched the 1999 ver of hxh. it stops at the yorknew city arc but there was an ova made for greed island. the chimera ant arc onwards is gonna be animated for the first time in the 2011 version. i hope they still continue the animating. idk how far they've gone compared with the manga.
-
Nope. cause not only does Oda pretty much confirms that luffy is asexual, i just can not imagine him with anybody romantically
-
I like SOS Man. So Bad is meh tho.
and yay i'm so excited! Fucking finally. but i wiill be busy that month tho so tough for me lol
-
i like all the ladies in junho's film! well except jooyeon(?) idk her. yubi, so min and hyo rin are fantastic tho :D
-
You know who's well loved that I don't like? Paulo Coehlo.
I mean I really dislike his plots. They start of well before I'm like what is this unrealistic bullshit. You can tell what a cynical thirteen year old I was because I've disliked him since then.granted i've only read one book of his and it's been a long time but i've always found his books....weird
-
Yeah I didn't find HP well written either. I also didn't find it descriptive. I found it just simple. I think for me what built it better were the movies. The movies pretty much crafted that world whether we liked it or not. I stopped watching the movies after the third and I remember finding some scenery just haphazard. I especially remember this with Sirius. He is completely not what I pictured!
This reminds me of the Da Vinci code. My friend and I read so much Dan Brown in middle school. He had like four books and we read then all. We were bloody disappointed with the Da Vinci code. Tom Hanks to us did not fit the role at all. He's not what we pictured!!I watched the movie before reading the book and i found that i enjoyed the movie better lol :lol:
Yeah, it's simply written. Rowling doesn't show off half what a good novel needs; an engaging style. I pretty much rely on my imagination to picture of the scenes, basing on the simple verbs and sentence structures. The films did much more for me than books, but I still needed the novels to explain why this and that happened, which the movies failed to do. Also, I don't like the movies after the second one... it's too dark (the lighting), but I guess that reflects the theme.
I watch 'The Da Vinci Code' yesterday, I've never read the book so I don't know what Langdon is like, but I really enjoyed it. Except from the metallic whipping, the movie didn't disappoint. I'm not going to read the novel because I read 'Digitial Fortress'; Dan Brown's writing is like Jodi Picoult's, read one book, you know how the rest will be like.
yeah rowling's style is actually really simplistic but it did enough to engage my imagination. I really enjoyed angels and demons but yeah i agree. dan brown is really a basic author lol. but to be fair most books in the action/thriller/conspiracy genre follows the same mold and structure. i still enjoy the hell out of them tho
-cough-FiftyShadesOfGrey-cough-
I remember first reading an excerpt to see what all the ridiculous hype was all about... and then feeling depressed that so many trees were sacrificed to publish this :soul:
b-buuut "My inner goddess is doing the merengue with some salsa moves." is sure to become a surefire classic line that would echo through future generations :._.:

Yes ;-;

I don't like The Harry Potter Series.
blasphemy!11!!1
lol but serously those books are what got me hooked to reading so that nostalgia factor is strong. also the reason why fantasy was one of my earliest favorite genres
Standards of writing has gone down because people don't like to think and we are getting lazier by the minute. It's that simple. Writers need to make a living too and they feel that it is better to appeal to the mass buying audience rather than the really picky readers. I can't say whether they are making the right decisions or not but it is what it is.
It's not that i want more twilight or harry potters but i want more adult orientated sci-fi / fantasy / horror books, something like lord of the rings. I think there's a lot of artistic merit in those genres along with commercial appeal but it seems they never get acknowledged nor are they written in that way.
i read something in the internet about how a lot of popular books in a series started out really strong and interesting but when they gain massive mainstream following it seems like they just start producing books that panders more to the crowd rather than telling their vision of what the story is supposed to be which makes the spark and the magic of the beginning suddenly fade. I've always found that very interesting because it not only applies to books but also other entertainment mediums.
unfortunately i agree that popularity=/= quality and thats never more apparent than recent times lol but i think there are still gems hidden in the rough u just gotta look for them and even if there are more duds in popular books today there is still so much good books left in the past that could be read
I agree, I love fantasy and sci-fi but every time I walk by that section in the bookstore it seems to have the same books by the same authors. It's very rare that I find something that appeals to me that is aimed for my age group. Most fantasy seems to aimed at YA readers, which is why I keep reading them, though they don't have what I am looking for in my fantasy either, so really I am just hoping for something good, but usually come out disappointed.
is fantasy your favorite genre? have you read the wheel of time series?
Her style needs a touch of JRR Tolkien lol I personally find her style somewhat childish, but again it's accessible to everyone of all ages, and that's what counts, right?
to be fair harry potter is a children's book series :lol:
-
blame law for making it tbh
wth is that even. and i bet u requested for it anyway
OT:

i can forgive taec for his mediocre acting because he makes the funniest faces kekee
Just block his signature then.
how to do that?
-
onetooth's sig disturbs me on a fundamental level. i try to just ignore it but it makes me want to claw my eyes out when i scroll past it
awww~
pls have dark hair forever
I miss ot6 :( and they picked one of the worst months to cb for me
-
ray bradbury continues to be fantastic with the martian chronicles. i need more of these short stories anthology from him, asimov, and neil gaiman
Gatsby wasn't particularly incredible but I had a lot of fun with it.
I'd recommend Anna Karennina first. War and Peace is a mission and a half, never been able to finish it. You could always go straight to The Brothers Karamazov to get the best of Russian lit right off the bat.the language was compelling at times but i cannot get over how much i wanted to punch every single character in the face. ooh thanks~ I just came from reading two and a half of dostoevsky so i wanted to try another author next but that book is noted ^.^
i actually dont like hardcover. i like paperback :3
but hardcover is easy to preserve the book in pristine condition. sobs
paperback is better for me since i love bringing books everywhere so for portability i like it but then again i love abusing books soooo XD
hi~
recently have read A Boy's Life by Robert McCammon. I enjoyed it despite not being into murder mysteries, it was pretty unique.
I enjoy fantasy theme novels, i hoped someone might have some suggestions since i'm lazy lately to just troll around goodreads :lol:
my favorite fantasies have always been kinda on the children's books side. Inkheart trilogy is awesome and i also recommend jonathan strange and mr. norrell
My problem with Melville is it feels like he has to load every sentence with excessive description this it starts to feel like a complete encyclopedia. Basically, a total barrage of words that detract from the story. It makes for a ridiculously tedious experience. This coming from someone who applaud's Shakespeare's language. (NOT PLOTS).
that sounds a bit like dickens too lol
-
So many good (relatively) this season. I'm a happy viewer
-
Reading the great gatsby was soul draining.
Anna karenina or war and peace first? I wanna expand my russian lit
Is tamora pierce considered YA? One of my favorite authors ever.
I have seen herman melville be compared to jules verne and I loved benito cereno so iwas looking forward reading some of his works actually.
Does anyone read terry pratchett? -
I liked it but my fave classics are
The Oxbow Incident
To Kill a Mockingbird
Fahrenheit 451
Of Mice and Menagree with those two. ray bradbury himself is one of my favorite authors.
That book made me so angry.
me too. i felt empty cause dat plot twist man
-
classic book discussions!
i actually loved othello :3 probably my favorite from shakespeare. i always thought romeo and juliet was supposed to be satire? that's why i was like meh ok and i never take romance stories patterned after romeo and juliet seriously.
will never read any bronte sisters novel, never will. I'm not really a fan of their gothic style. I remember loving pride and prejudice when i read it when i was like 14? i was so proud that it was my first classic and i LIKED it.
atm my favorite classics are russian novels but I've only read dostoevsky. haven't really read tolstoy
-
I'm trying to read crime and punishment. Liking it but at the same time stalling if that makes any sense.
oh yeah i almost read that in high school but then I read fahrenheit 451 and ender's game instead and got waaay into sci fi so nah lol. but yeah i know what you mean. I love dostoevsky and I promised myself to read a tolstoy work as soon as I get a chance
Like what?
Keira Knightley was in Pride and Prejudice, not Jane Eyre.
I bought it when it was still in stock.
well the protagonist had a breakdown and started sleeping with anyone with a skirt (even a married woman and her husband found out and killed her urgh O__O) when his beloved married someone else. the description of his affairs were just :derp: and some of my immature male classmates started making fun of innuendoes regarding prostitutes :rlytearpls:
-
For my English Literature GEC, starting in September, I have to read these books/poems in the summer:
- The Collected Poems, W.B Yeates
- The Art of Fiction, David Lodge
- Small Island, Andrea Levy
For my Advanced Reading Group, starting in September too, I have to read:
- Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen
- Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte
- The Mill on the Floss, George Eliot
And for fun I'm going to read:
- Love in the Time of Cholera, Gabriel Garcia Marquez
- The Color Purple, Alice Walker
- One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, Ken Kesey
- The Catcher in the Rye, J.D Salinger
Phew, so much reading for me to do!!
Oh my god this book. It got banned when we started reading it during high school because some people were making fun of some questionable themes and racy stuff in it (which nobody checked beforehand) so my teacher had to assign another book lol
anybody like russian classics?
-
Wool by Hugh Howey was pretty good, and I just found out there might be a movie, I hope they don't eff it up
ooh wool is kind of an anthology of short stories right? and then it was like compiled into volumes for a more novel type of deal? so interested in it.
I have finished reading

I remember someone saying it was boring and not worth it, but I found it to be the opposite. If you hate things that are descriptive and leave a lot for your imagination to do, then this is probably not the book for you. I think it was one of the most beautifully written things that I've read in a long time, sure the plot is not action oriented but the story leaves a lasting impression. The circus is like a world in itself and makes the reader wish that it was real and you could and wander through those over the top tents that could never exist in real life (kinda like the feeling Harry Potter gave when everyone was wishing they could attend Hogwarts) . That bittersweet ending though :rlytearpls: . The characters are kind of secondary to the world of the circus though, even though they are key to building it.
Don't know which book I want to read next, I have a bunch sitting on my shelf, maybe I should just play eenie meenie miny moe and pick, though I think I want something more lighthearted now.
reminds me of ray bradbury. i'll probably read
-
is this cover project gonna include other covers?
thanks for all the updates guys~
-
Come to think of it, Juno, Jun. k and Chansung stans should be thankful towards Jay Park, cause if he wasn't kicked out, their assess would still be in the back and they be (even) more irrelevant While Taec, Khun and Woo be raking in those fans and $$$.
oh no you didn't!1!!!!111
