Scorpion girl is mine. For now. Until catgirl from the opening appears :>

Anyway, I have trouble writing about this episode, since literally every single scene was good, fun, interesting.

Maybe what I love most at the moment is how "random" the plot has become. And I mean that as praise. Giant bugs suddenly appearing and killing people, Gon going there. Thatīs 100% unrelated to both his search for his father and his personal growth. Oh sure, Gon will develop further during this new adventure, but itīs not like the Yorkshin-arc, where, even though the Spiders werenīt his top priority, it was all part of introducing nen powers. The Chimera-arc, as it is right now, is really just that: An adventure. And I love that.

You know, the only reason why HXH hasnīt turned into a full-blown Gantz-style anime is because of the less gruesome presentation. Seriously, that first village that got attacked ... just grabbing people, piercing holes through their bodies, and then throwing them on a pile, only for some bug queen to be eaten. That is super gruesome and cruel. Itīs also such a mood shit. These arenīt enemies with a political purpose. They want to eat you and thatīs all. No room for debates. At all.

Lastly, let me say that the chimera-monsters remind me a lot of Tengen Toppaīs beastmen. Am I right that the chimera-arc was released before Tengen Toppa? If so: Another anime that copied from HXH
