HXH THEMED DRINKS

zoldycksquad420:

So I had a HxH movie party tonight where I tested these cocktails out! Here’s photos and recipes of the finished product.

The Whale Island Sangria (Gon):

  • 1 oz. Midori
  • 1 oz. Malibu
  • 4 oz. Sprite / Sierra Mist
  • Pineapple, honeydew, and your choice of other fruits, sliced into small chunks (the one pictured used kiwi)
  • Soak the fruit in Malibu overnight before adding it to the drink. Serve in a tall glass over ice with your choice of fruit slice on the rim. 

The Kanmuru (Killua):

  • 1 oz. lemon flavored vodka
  • 1 oz. blue curacao
  • 4 oz. blue raspberry soda (Jones Soda is best but you can use Mountain
  • Dew Voltage, as pictured)
  • Blue raspberry pop rocks
  • Coat the rim in the pop rocks and serve.

The Scarlet Eyes (Kurapika):

(the drink is a deep scarlet, might be hard to tell bc its in a funky gold carnival glass)

  • 4 oz. cranberry juice
  • 1 oz. vodka
  • 1 oz. raspberry liqueur
  • Two red gummy eyeballs (can be purchased at Candy Warehouse here)
  • Gummy eyeballs can be soaked in vodka for a few hours if desired for a more visceral feel. Serve with ice.

The Good Doctor (Leorio):

(featuring my sweet 80s globe mug)

  • 1 oz. Crown Royal
  • 1 oz. Cointreau or triple sec
  • 4 oz. hot tea of your choice (green tea recommended)
  • Teaspoon of honey
  • Grated orange peel (to taste)
  • Serve warm in a mug. It’s a bit like a hot toddy, often used as a cold cure in Ireland.

The Bungee Gum Bitch (Hisoka):

  • ½ oz. peppermint schnapps
  • 1 oz. raspberry liqueur
  • 1 oz. cream/half-and-half
  • ½ oz. grenadine
  • 1 oz. Three Olives Bubble
  • Shake with ice, strain the ice out, and serve in a martini glass. Add whipped cream and sprinkles, Nerds or a cherry for effect.

I think the Gon was the best tbh. Let me know if you try these out!

Man, I know it is highly unlikely that it would ever happened, but I really want Togashi to give us a Hunter x Hunter version of fusion so badly. Steven Universe improved on the original Dragon Ball Z fusion concept exponentially, but I wish other creators would give their own spin on it too. I mean, Togashi already gave us a horrific quasi-Super Saiyan Gon-san, he can make us a Gotenks 2.0.  (What would Gon and Killua’s fusion name even be though? Kigon? Gollua? Or just straight up Killugon?)

One weird change the anime made in this episode was Kalluto’s reaction to Gon and the gang. In the 2011 anime, he’s all like “you’re his friends…?” with a neutral expression before Kikyo calls him back to her. However, in the manga, he pretty much just glares at them ominously and says nothing.

I’m pretty sure the scene is supposed to imply he just hates them for trying to take Killua away, and I don’t know if the anime version gives the same impression.

I want to kiss whoever decided to give Canary an extended badass fight sequences in the 2011 anime. I’m just glad people on the animation team loved her enough to give her more screen time. She’s the best <33333!

On Alluka’s gender

@olivemeister took the time and effort to write out a 22 pg thesis on Alluka’s gender filled with facts and sources. It is probably one of the most impressive thing’s i’ve seen in a long time and if you have time do read it.

OH MY GOD I NEVER POSTED A LINK TO IT HERE… GOSH… i posted it like 3 days ago and never linked it here. but yeah, this is my “fuck you” to the people who think there’s (ugh) “reasonable doubt”.

“Birthday messages to Killua!! I’m truly thankful for receiving so, so many warm feelings from everyone!!! I can’t put it into words!! My youth and life without HxH just wouldn’t have been possible! I’m thankful for meeting Killua and everything up till now!!!! Thank you so much for having been born!!!

In the HxH musical 11 years ago. My beloved Killua right before my eyes. A genuine Killua was seriously right there!! I was so moved that it changed my life!!! I really, really loved and admired Mitsuhashi Kanako performing as Killua and wanted to become like her!! Those feelings have inspired me!!”

mariya………. is so cute……………. 

Killua’s voice actress was also a big fan of Hunter x Hunter, and you can tell how much love she had for the characters in her performance. ❤

AND TODAY ON TWITTER

someone asked gumi-tan what was her first love anime&manga wise and she says it was killua and that she wanted to become gon because he’s always with killua

and then she did

I don’t know how many newer fans know, but Gon’s Japanese voice actress has been a huge fan of Hunter x Hunter ever since she was a kid. If you ever noticed how amazing her performance was throughout the entire 2011 anime, this probably had something to do with it. 🙂

Birth of Yupi~ Puppet Kaito~ 

This is one of my favorite little bits of animation from the first half of the Chimera Ant arc. I love all the scenes where the background music compliments Pouf’s violin playing, but I particularly enjoy how Puppet Kite’s movements sync up during some parts as well. It also gives us some hints about what happened to Kite before we get the full explanation later on. A solid piece of work all around.
