HH38 Reaction

Gon not listening to the tape about his mother is one of my favorite Gon moments in this show, what a character.

Milena’s idea of doing a whole day of 1 show on different days is a good idea, you’re not going to be able to keep watching 1 or 2 episodes of Hunter😂

Ging es lo unico que no me ha gustado de esta serie, por lo demas es excelente!

God damn, the pure hatred towards Ging is funny as hell

I feel sorry for Mito. She's a 23 year old surrogate mother to a 11/12 year old. She'll barely be 30 by the time Gon is 18. Also the legal stuff makes sense to omit in 2011. Not just because of Ging's personality but also because Mito would be only 13. That plot point never made sense in the manga. If the Grandma was the focus it would but it just seemed like a random not fully thought through character moment for Gon in the manga. Togashi himself would probably change it if he could.

I also think Gon is not looking for validation, he’s just that curious like he’s for everything since he grew up in an island without friends and few people passing by, just like Ging.

Calling Ging a sociopath is a bit excessive imo. He is not a good person for ignoring his parental duty, but he at least left his son in good hands and was honest about his own failings and desires. There are worse fathers out there like abusive ones or manipulative ones. Absent ones who run off to change the world is a bit better than the first two.

"My mum is Mito-san!" <3 so cute

A kind of sad detail is that Gon calls his dad Ging cause he never raised him but also doesn't call Mito his mom but also by her name which means that he kind of doesn't see anyone really as a mom or a dad.

Seeing your reaction to Gon stopping the tape was so sweet. It's like you said multiple times, the people who raised you, loved you and were there for you are the ones that matter, Mito is his mom and he wouldn't have it any other way

Animes can have terrible fathers. And i do agree with girls that Ging is one terrible dad. In fact this stereotype is even prevalent in modern society, even in 21st century. I saw a news article in which a person was representing his country in sports tournament. (i recall it being Australia, but it could be wrong) While he was playing match for his country, his wife was going under labour in hospital and giving birth to his daughter. It is expected and often cast a burden upon men to seek higher purpose, achieve greatness, build a legacy, follow passion etc, but at what cost? Why do we allow it? Why don't we question it? In fact why don't we condemn this line of thinking? Maybe it won't change people like Ging, who don't want to be father, but at least men who wish and desire to be one wont be driven by patriarchal stereotypes.

Ging and Gon are.. very interesting people. It’s hard to describe them without spoiling. I look forward to you hopefully picking up what I mean. It’s important to keep things in retrospect.

Lola's Japanese was still alive and well.

This reminds me of how you guys felt about Zuko and Ozai like Gon and Ging.

The Custody battle was mostly explored in the Ace Attorney spin-off game AttorneyXAttorney. Definitely worth a play, adds a lot of characterization to Mito.

To answer your question, Mito filed a case against Ging and took complete custody of Gon shortly after he left him on the island. Ging just continued his journey as a Hunter. People usually refer to custody cases as "custody battles", but it is never implied that Ging fought the process or even showed up to court lol

I have never seen any other reactors dislike Ging this much, I personally find him very interesting, but I respect the honesty in the reactions. I actually enjoy seeing different perspectives from different people.

I never really considered Ging a bad dad/person. Giving Gon to a person that is MUCH more suited to taking care of him is a good thing. Ging giving up Gon to Mito is great parenting, he realized that he didn’t have the traits to be a great guardian so he gave up his child. Is that not admirable? Gon has also never shown any anger to Ging for leaving, he doesn’t care that he left. He’s just curious as to why he left to be a Hunter. I do agree though that Ging leaving Mito at 12 to become a Hunter is selfish, just like Gon leaving Mito at 12 to become a hunter is also selfish. Gon didn’t become a Hunter to please his dad or get some validation, he did it for himself, to satisfy his curiosity.

What I find fascinating is that from the very beginning, we learn from Gon himself that he wants to find his dad to understand what is so special about being a hunter. Not once has Gon shown a desire for a parental relationship with his father, (further supported by Gon calling him Ging). Gon is driven by simple curiosity, and it's overall an incredibly unique character motivation, given the circumstances.

Girls, you will forget all about Ging starting next arc. Can't Wait!

Good luck not binge watching the next arc.

Ah Ging, a shamelessly unrepentant self-admitted selfish, and terrible father. Bo is cool though.

And now, we're finally starting my favorite arc of the anime!

The line of intention will be recorded by the majority. Ging cruel? Compared to other cases of cruelty in this show? I don't know.

Ging, dad of the century

Great reaction as always ladies :) I recommend “your lie in April” (DUB) if your looking for a short good inspirational anime.

OH WE EATING GOOD THIS WEEK

Am I the only one completely blindsided by the show Heavenly Delusions? Where the fuck did that show come from? Am I the only one watching it? (already caught up to current episode)
