Obsession level... achieved
I knew I'd get there with Hunter X Hunter eventually. Too cute and too fun and too many interesting characters.
EPISODE 18! SHOWER SCENES! KURAPIKA ANGST! NAKED LEORIO! AND OMG GON AND KILLUA ARE SO *DAMN* CUTE!!! I MUST SQUEAL LIKE A RABID FANGIRL OVER ALL FOUR OF THEM!!!
All right... that aside...
As cute as Gon and Killua are in their adorable pre-slash friendshippy thing, I really have to say that after episode 20, Leorio/Kurapika is my OTP. I rarely like pairings with more than a 1-2 year age difference - I think the one with the biggest gap was Orphen/Majic. Same with the difference in size - it marks too much of a distinction between "seme" and "uke" that tends to bug me. The dynamics betweeen Leorio and Kurapika absolutely slay me, though; I totally couldn't resist. Kurapika's reaction to what happened to Leorio on the ship just kinda firmed it up.
You'd think this show was about slash, the way I go on about it. It's not. It's about fighting. Which looks really cool onscreen, but it's not worth fangirling over. So, you get the slash report. Heh.
On a completely unrelated note, I wish Hanso was in the series for longer. Ninjas are cool.

I guess there is one character I do hate with a passion. >_> But he doesn't show up until almost the end of the series and is in the OVA.
I don't know of any place to download them... One of my friends told me she got ahold of the third musical... and the only way I have the first and third was through a fansub site thing. (The seiyuu for Leorio, Kurapika, Gon, Killua and Hisoka all do the rolls for the musical! :D It made me happy... and they all fit so brilliantly!)
Yay! :D
no subject
Which character is that? I've read spoilers, so I know who a few of the people I have yet to meet are.
Too bad. ^^; I don't think I'd pay to get those musicals... at least, not at the moment... but they DO sound like fun. I wish I could see them.
Maybe I'll look around online and see if I can find them anywhere - for future reference, if nothing else. Does that fansub site still have them?
no subject
Uh... Crap. What was his name... x_x Holy crap I forgot it. XD Let me go check quickly... Kuroro! *snorts* That's his name. x_x I totally hate him... and I totally hate the Kurapika and Kuroro slash out there. -_-;
They are fun... I'm a musical addict. :D >_>;
I believe they do. I'll have to dig up the link... Can't remember the exact place, so... I'll have to pull out my DVDs and steal the living room when I can. XD
no subject
*shrugs* Some people think that all-encompassing hatred is really hot, I guess.
If you can find that link, that would be cool. :D I might just have to check those out some time.
no subject
That's the link where I got them from. :) Only place I've been able to find them... ._.;
And yeah, that's who he is. =/ I really don't like him... and yeah. :D Kurapika has that pure hatrid.
I mean, I'm into some of that rival-hate stuff... but only sometimes. -_- And not like... "You killed my whole clan, let's have hot, hot sex!"
no subject
Oh, I like rival sex. I do. Some cases it just doesn't work for me. This would be one of them.
Of course, I'm biased since I've already got an OTP that this interferes with. ;)
no subject
Rival sex is yummy. :D But this is one case where I don't like it...
Yeah... I might be biased like that, too. :D
no subject
Rival sex is good, because it tends to be what I call wall!sex. (as in, up against a wall, going at it like there's no tomorrow) But it doesn't have to be rival sex to be wall!sex. I think Leorio/Kurapika could end up being wall!sex. They're the kind of couple that would stretch out the sexual tension until it's about to snap.
I have yet to see anything of Kuroro, but I think there's a different kind of tension there. Then again... bias. ;)
no subject
Mmm... yeah. Wall!sex is a beautiful thing. Nice to get out that worked up sexual tension and all the aggression inside. :D Beautiful way.
...You are rather right about Leorio and Kurapika possibly having that, too. Either from outside forces sometimes, too.
There is a different kind of tension... In my opinion. =/ And I'm biased, too. >D
