![]() ![]() It would have been better to see some new techniques from the Phantom Troupe but most of them are still what they are. Even the Phantom Troupe tastes some of that in particular of a member whom once shared a strong bond with.ĭespite of the action scenes being well performed, some of them are a bit too quick paced and old fashioned. The concept of vengeance, betrayal, and struggle are packaged together that brings out the entertainment at its finest. In this movie, these mind games comes to fruition especially into the head of Killua. The franchise makes usage of the fights to incorporate it into more of a psychological mind game at many instances. That's also one of the strong points in Hunter x Hunter. Most of the are quick paced that combines both physical and psychological aspects. ![]() However, this movie can be summed up with such a single word at several stances. If I would used the word epic, I would describe the majority of the movie as such whether it's from the fights, the dialogues, the comedy/darkness, or just a mere character. They encounter familiar faces while also facing off against a new threat.Įpic is also misused word. Then, there's some of the intertwined arcs where our main characters gets involved with events related to the spiders. In particular, some of the little important scenes are shot with more depth in term of music and artwork. There are plenty of foreshadowing going on. Then, there's also the story involving Kurapika and his old teammate whom he once trusted with his life. For instance, we see the Phantom Troupe return but in a different way especially in regards of a particular character. The plot itself follows as the premise goes although with certain twists. It's an adventure tale all over again and one that fans of HxH must see. Additionally, they are even joined together by a new comrade along the way. In essence, both of their relationships are tied by trust with great values. His brotherly bond with a new character in the series can be mirrored with Gon/Killua. On the other hand, we also see a more in-depth past of Kurapika. Gon was raised from a normal family while the latter comes from a family of elite assassins. In fact, it is very clear that they share a strong friendship despite coming from very different backgrounds. In terms of comedy, perhaps the brotherly bond of Gon and Killua are the most noticeable. Therefore, expect some surprises as we see old faces return but also new characters pop up.Īs for the movie goes, it offers a good balance of comedy and more of that darkness. It is also noticeable that the movie takes events after the actual Yorknew Arc from the original/remake series. However at the same time, he seeks answers to what's happening in the present. He still holds a blood thirsty vengeance against the spiders. In particular, a young boy with golden hair and scarlet eyes (Kurapika) plays the role of an avenger. For those who have seen the original series though (at least up to episode 58), there should be enough interest already because the series deals with what the synopsis mentions – the Phantom Troupe. The movie itself is called Hunter x Hunter: Phantom Rouge. ![]() For fans of the ongoing remake series as well as the original Hunter x Hunter, this should be a gift delivered early from Santa. But at any rate, enough talk about interest and let's talk about the movie itself. If not, it might be a little hard to completely get the best experience out of this. And in doing so, they encounter a mysterious girl who appears to be linked to it all…įirst of all, I am under the assumption that viewers interested to watch this movie have at least a little knowledge or background of the Hunter x Hunter franchise before watching. Hunter x Hunter Movie 1: Phantom Rouge follows the boys' quest to locate their friend's eyes and catch the thief, causing them to delve deep into Phantom Troupe's past. However, their search brings them face-to-face with the infamous group of thieves known as Phantom Troupe-the same people who massacred the entire Kurta Clan five years ago for their scarlet eyes, which change color during moments of rage. Leorio tends to Kurapika's wounds, and then sends for both Gon Freecss and Killua Zoldyck to help retrieve Kurapika's eyeballs. Kurapika hopes to find another survivor of the clan besides himself, but instead ends up losing both his eyes after an attack from someone who seems to be his childhood friend. After completing their work at Yorknew City, Leorio Paladiknight and Kurapika investigate the rumored sightings of a boy with scarlet red eyes, as they believe this person to be a member of the now non-existent Kurta Clan. ![]()
