In other news I hadn't watched any anime for the longest time, until today. Stumbled on a show called Zatch Bell (Called 'Gash' Bell in the original Japanese release...but fair enough that they changed it) on a twitch stream. It seemed rather strange and being an early 00s anime/manga it's still got that 90s look which I adore.
Watched the first couple of episodes and I'm enjoying it so far. Liking the character designs and the humour, though some repeated lines from Zatch got a bit annoying. Normally I watch subbed but I came across the dub first and decided to roll with it. Seems okay, and apparently it's barely censored anyway.
Also I love terrible westernised openings:
So catchy.
I wish the people who gave up on it early would give it another go. I mean, I doubt anyone found the start of the Ant arc more boring than I did, but I stuck with it, sometimes even by skipping scenes
, and then eventually it got going and I was hooked all over again. It may yet fall off a cliff (no idea how far I've yet to go but Gon and Kil just met up with Kite again
) but it's entertained me enough that I give it a chance to win me over if it does.

Finished this the other day and my only gripe was how certain elements were introduced only to be then given the slightest of mentions, or not mentioned ever again. Other than that I'm glad I watched it, even though it was super difficult at the start. Kids can be such gooseberry fools
