I was curious to do this because I read :iconshikiangel:'s journal and thought "Hey, some of these things apply to me", but it turns out most of them are me >____>

And Holy Crap! A New Journal!

New Journal: Cause HXH is already out...

Wed Jan 14, 2009, 9:47 AM
  • Listening to: E Nomine-Das Testament
  • Reading: Goethe's Faust
  • Watching: YYH since I just got the last season
  • Playing: Nothing really at the moment
  • Eating: Nothing, But I'm at school and I'm hungry : (
  • Drinking: Soda, even though I shouldn't be >3>
I don't type a lot of journals (mostly because I never have anything interesting to say) But seeing as how the last one ranted about HXH being liscensed and excitement to get it, and now its out, I figured I might as well put up a new one.

I managed to buy HXH earlier than the release date because FYE had it and they release some stuff before it comes out. So I bought it and watched it.

........sigh.

Time to rant. First of all, 3 out of the 4 main characters have their names pronounced WRONG. They say Leorio ok a little, but it sounds like their stressing it too much. Killua's name was alright. But, c'mon, how do you even screw up GON?!?!? Its pronounced like "gone" but they go ahead and say Gawn. And then theres kurapica. They say it like its two words! Ugh, I almost screamed when I heard "Kura Pica" >.<

No to mention the fact gon's voice is WAAAAY too deep. Killua should have a deeper voice, but gons got a freakin man voice almost.
Worst of all, Kurapica's voiced by a WOMAN. A 18-yr old man is voiced by a WOMAN IN ENGLISH. Apparently they don't understand that its ok in japanese but not in english, bucause then the women try to hard. It sounds awful. My poor Kura D:

But yeah, so everyone whos gonna watch that or already has, I feel so bad for you, they destroyed it. But then again thats only to be expected.

Just look at Naruto. >.>

FUCK YEAH!!!!

  • Listening to: The new Disturbed CD-Indestructible
  • Reading: Hunter X Hunter Vol. 23

  • Playing: Silent Hill Origins
  • Eating: Nothing, But I'm at school and I'm hungry : (
  • Drinking: Vitamin Water
The MOST unbelievable thing has happened, one of my dreams has come true!!
The impossible has been made possible and become reality!!!

HUNTER X HUNTER HAS BEEN LISCENSED AND THE VOL.1 BOXSET WILL BE RELEASED DEC. 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously you guys, you have NO FUCKIN IDEA how long ive been waiting for this!!!
I never, NEVER thought Hunter X Hunter would get liscensed since it hasnt already, I mean the anime started in 1998ish!!!! Its got games for the GBA!!

Unfortunately it was liscensed by Viz Media, the people behind the catastrophe I call English Naruto. But i dont care, Ive known from the beggining that if HXH got liscensed then the voices will probably be destroyed, but Im still curious.

Luckily I;ll have shiny new DVDS, Higurashi Vol. 5 and Yu Yu Hakusho Season 3 Boxset soon to keep me from going insane until then!!

So expect a shit-load of HXH fanart at least until Dec. 9!!!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

In other news, this is my first journal in almost a years time >_____>

100+ DEVS WHOOT!!! XD
