Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. We're finally entering Greed Island! It's been on the horizon for so long but we finally see the boys get zapped into the game world. The Phantom Troupe, too! Well, most of the anyway. We learn a lot about how the game works, about the social life of other players, and about the dastardly player hunter named The Bomber. Oh we also meet a magical girl.

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. In this episode we cover episodes 59-62, titled Bid x And x Haste, End x And x Beginning, Invitation x And x Friend, and Reality? x and x Raw. Next episode we'll be covering episodes 63-65, titled A x Hard x Master, Strengthen x and x Threaten, and Evil Fist x and x Rock Paper Scissors.

Featuring Keith Carberry (@KeithJCarberry, @KeithJCarberry), Jack de Quidt (@notquitereal, @jdq) Sylvi Bullet (@SYLVIBULLET, @SYLVIBULLET) and Andrew Lee Swan (@swandre3000, @swandre3000)

WE LOVE FRIENDS AT THE TABLE

I guess now it's not spoilers to point out any longer. Killua, killawatt. Electricity.

It bothers me that they went with "joystation" instead of "nen-tendo."

I think you were wondering about it in this episode: most of the time the Japanese voice actors are all in the same room when they record, and can react to each other.

Not sure if anyone is reading comments on old episodes, but since Japanese voice acting was brought up, I wanted to share a cute interview with Mariya Ise talking about a time she fought with Megumi Han. They ended up arguing as Killua and Gon in the studio lobby (subtitled here: https://streamable.com/58qyi). Additionally, if anyone is curious about how voice recording went pre-covid, Megumi Ogata, voice of Kurama in Yu Yu Hakusho, has spoken about it in a few interviews (including this one I translated back in 2018: https://iwroteyoualoveletter.tumblr.com/post/173625820812/megumi-ogata-livedoor-interview-may-2018-12).
