Posted in Media on April 19, 2014 by damedrfoxybrown

I know it’s been a while since we’ve released an episode and that is being worked on, but while we’re doing that we’d like you to do us a favor and answer a few questions.

Unofficial Promo

Posted in Media on November 22, 2011 by damedrfoxybrown

12 episodes in and we’re committing to advertising by making ourselves a promo. We have what could be a pretty fun idea but we could use your help. If you want to participate send us a short (1-2 sentences) audio recording of your response to the prompt. “Hunter X Hunter is…” and it doesn’t have to be in English if you send us a written English translation. Yes Snowy, you’re required to send us one. The description can be serious or silly. Send all entries to hxhpodcast@gmail.com.

Celebrating the Upcoming York Shin Arc in our manga recaps.

Posted in Media with tags Genei Ryodan, Hunter X Hunter Podcast, Manga Recap, Phantom Brigade, Phantom Troupe, Poll, Spiders on October 31, 2011 by damedrfoxybrown

I was going to add pictures and everything to this, but apparently the Internet has some sort of weird moratorium on awesome pictures of the Genei Ryodan, so this is going to have to do. Yes I am aware that the York Shin arc is a couple volumes away.

Ookina Ringo no ki no shita de (Under the Big Apple Tree) – Hisoka

Posted in Media with tags Creepypants, Hisoka, Hunter X Hunter, Musical on September 6, 2011 by damedrfoxybrown

In case you were wondering about the creepy song I chose and the ending theme, well hearing it randomly on my iPod made me feel a bit weird so I decided I had to share it to see if it was just me. According to my cohost, NOPE. This song is definitely traumatizing. I scoured the Internet and found some translated lyrics along with a performance of it from the musical linked below.

If you’re lazy, here you go.

ookina RINGO no ki no shita de
BOKU wa KIMI o mitsuketayo
Under the big apple tree
That’s where I found you

issho ni asonde agetai kedone
KIMI wa mada hon chiisana RINGOchan
I’d like us to play together, but
You’re still really a cute little teeny apple

ohisama o abite
rippa na RINGO ni narundayo
iiKOda iiKOda iiKOdane~
makka ni nattara moide ageru yo
chotto mattetene
Bask in the sun
And become a fine apple
Good boy, good boy, you’re a good boy~
Become redder, grow bigger
I’ll wait a little bit

nakayoshi tomodachi dekitakana?
kukuku… homete ageyoune
I wonder if we’ll be very, very close friends?
Hehehe… Become someone admirable

donna gohoubi hoshii to iuno?
kukuku… TORAMPU asobi wa mada hayai
What kind of reward do you want?
Hehehe… It’s too early to play the trump card

motto yoku kao miseteyo
nn~~nante ii kao nano
iiKOda iiKOda iiKOdanee~
BOKU no te no naka ni ochiteoide ne
zutto matteruyo
Let me see an even better face
Ah~ What a delicious smell
Good boy, good boy, you’re a good boooy~
Come and drop down into my hand
I’ll wait forever

Things like this are why I worry about the new voice cast for the upcoming anime and instantly hate everyone who won’t give the original anime a try.

Hunter X Hunter The Nightmare of Zaoldyeck

Posted in Media with tags Hunter X Hunter, Musical on September 6, 2011 by damedrfoxybrown

If there’s one thing that could be said about me, it’s that I can’t help myself. So after adding that Hisoka song as the end song for episode 2 of the podcast, here’s the second musical (2002) with bonus English subs.
