Hmm. I thought that was what we were discussing! Perceptions affect enjoyment and enjoyment of many things affect perception! And perception brings thinking and comparisons to find meaning.... (And yet the goddess Eclectica never gets respect!)

And speaking of spiritual matters - what exactly is the relationship between nen and being a Hunter? Obviously more than Hunters discover and develop nen abilities (Hisoka is so good, but just went for a license). They seem to be infering that if you don't develop nen you don't complete the Hunter "course". Then, either some people who pass the testing might not be able to complete it - or everybody, no matter who, is capable of developing nen?

And what-who was that dog-masked guy in the tower tournament scenes, giving bits of Hisoka's background? That was so weird and out-of-place. I kept thinking he was a new character about to be introduced, but then he was just - gone....

You were/are. That was for DT for her being her.

Go back to your discussion! Is it time for me to leave work yet? I feel like I've been here for three days...

My take on the whole Nen deal is that those who have been issued Hunters Liscence are essentially required to know it to perform their...err..."Hunter duties" for lack of a better term. The situations that most Hunters put themselves in are perilous, and the usage of nen can often times pull them through those sticky situations. So it's pretty much an unwritten rule that one must know nen to be a full-fledged Hunter.

People who are not Hunters can also learn nen (Hisoka & Illumi pre-Hunter certification and Scuwala for example) so pretty much anybody can learn nen. But the fact in the HxH world is that the masses in general do not know about nen. Wing went into this in detail while explaining the dangers of nen when he showed Zushi that he could use a piece of paper as a weapon. So nen itself isn't widely taught because of the amount of dangerous individuals it can produce.

LOL that is Yoshihiro Togashi (the creator of Yu Yu Hakusho and HxH) integrating himself into his own Anime

Here's a little Wikipedia reference to it:

...Yoshihiro Togashi makes two cameo appearances in the anime as a man wearing a dog mask with square-rimmed glasses. In the first appearance, he gives the audience some very tangential exposition about Hisoka's childhood, and in the second appearance he gives the audience a brief, public-service-announcement-style warning about the perils of online auctions. Both appearances are completely superfluous to the plot, and the main characters are oblivious to his presence...

Heck, if I had made a few blockbuster mangas and animes I'd sure as heck try and fit myself somewhere in the spotlight too

EDIT - Totally off topic, but if any of you want to see some cute/hilarious HxH stuff, check out these links to some HxH Musical footage involving the Voice Actors and Actresses playing their respective parts:

"Hisoka, let's dance"

"Hisoka vs. Silva & Xeno"

I found myself laughing a ton and enjoying both (especially the ending of both videos

). Hopefully some of you will enjoy them too ^_^
