Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. The King is already gone, but there's a castle full of ants desperate to find and protect him. Gon and Killua have a brief encounter with Netero and Zeno on their way to find Pitou. Killua especially is having some sort of crisis (crises?). Zeno almost has words of warning for the boys, but instead says "hey man don't look at me you figure it out". Meanwhile, Ikalgo immediately raises everyone's suspicion and Knuckle has to tap in for a thoroughly beaten Shoot. Oh yeah and there's a new entry in the "most paranoid guy" category: Welfin. He sees Bloster hear Ikalgo call Leol "Hagya" and has a sincerely impressive meltdown.

Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. It's been almost 20 episodes since the Extermination Team took a train to East Gorteau to prep for an attack on the castle and almost 40 since Gon and Killua warped to Kite, by chance, officially starting their journey to the most dangerous place on earth.

Hey everyone, sorry for the delay but Media Club Plus 28 will be out next week, on 10/08/24. In lieu of proper ep I have in exchange this hearty Bonus. We've also got part 2 of our DBZ bonus coming on 10/15/24 In this episode we discuss 5 episodes: the first 3 episodes of the Tien Shinhan arc, as well episodes 11 and 12 of that arc. Some lists will call these episodes 83-85, 93, 94. I'm sorry that it's slightly confusing. These episodes are sometimes called season 4 and sometimes called season 7. I believe season 7 is more "official". To help, the episode titles are "Which Way to Papaya Island?" , "Rivals and Arrivals", "Preliminary Peril", "Tien Shinhan vs. Jackie Chun" and "Stepping Down" Featuring Keith Carberry (@KeithJCarberry), Jack de Quidt (@jdq) Sylvi Bullet (@SYLVIBULLET), and Andrew Lee Swan (@swandre3000) Produced by Keith Carberry Music by Jack de Quidt (available at notquitereal.bandcamp.com) Cover Art by by Annie Johnston-Glick (@dancynrew) anniejg.com This episode was made with support from listeners like you!

Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. Sometimes a hunter has to kill. In Hunter x Hunter sometimes a hunter has to kill for love. Sometimes that's heroic, and sometimes that's scary. I guess it's more about who you kill, and how mean you seem while doing it. Luckily our friends Gon and Killua don't seem very mean at all. And neither do their new assassin adversaries, which is also lucky. Palm on the other hand, Palm Siberia, she's scary. Scarier even than the full suite of Chimera Ant Royal Guards, now fully splatted out from their egg things. As always we are brought to you by Friends at the Table. This season, we're watching 2011's Hunter x Hunter, based on the manga by Yoshihiro Togashi.

Kite, Gon and Killua are deep into the NGL now, and everything is going extremely well. So why does Kite feel sick? Why can't he stop worrying? It feels like there's something he's forgetting and while he does his best to care for his two new companions, it won't be long before he finds out what's waiting for them when they reach their destination. Fortunately, as Kite ventures deeper into the Ant forest and the Squadron Leaders start to figure out what Nen is, and how they can use it, Chairman Netero and two impressive new hunters are on their way.

Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. In these episodes, Kite brings Gon and Killua deeper into the NGL, as the ants rapidly construct a very familiar kind of society. Schisms within the officer class of ants leave Colt, the senior Squadron Leader, to try and pick up the pieces. After one of Kite's worst case scenarios come true, and the Ants have taken and eaten the NGL's underworld society led by King Gyro, another (unexpected) worst case scenario hits when Gon lands a nearly fatal blow on Rammot, one of the Ants' most bloodthirsty soldiers.

Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. At the same time as we learn what a Chimera Ant is, we learn about how devistating they can be if left unchecked. After meeting up with Kite, Gon and Killua are working with him and his team to track down the location of a new, potentially very dangerous, Chimera Ant Queen. Unfortunately she's taken up residence in a politically and geographically isolated island: the perfect breeding ground for the ants to grow and spread. Oh yeah, and they talk.

Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. The magical girl we met turned out to be really mean, but it's OK(?) because she's really strong and she knows Netero and Gon's dad. It turns out the boys reaaally didn't know anything about nen, and they're getting a crash course (literally). And it's a good thing too because there's a guy called the Bomber who we heard about last time, except now he's killed a few dozen players. Remember everyone we met entering the game for the first time? They're all dead, pretty much, except this one nen exorcist guy. Also Killua leaves the game to try again at the Hunter Exam. I wonder how he'll do. As always we are brought to you by Friends at the Table. This season, we're watching 2011's Hunter x Hunter, based on the manga by Yoshihiro Togashi.
