[KiwiFed] Hunter x Hunter - Greed Island

This arc's release will seem odd without explaining the thought process behind it.

The first few episodes are from the 2003 OVA because it has better boarding and directing than the Madhouse counterpart. It also adds some scenes with the Phantom Troupe, which is a treat. Once you get into the first action episode, the OVA falters, and coincidentally, that's where the remake picks up, so I arbitrarily chose to split at the point that ensures the best viewing experience rather than any kind of completionist route. I could've just rounded off the last episode of the original OVA batch, but I couldn't be bothered to check the subs and there's no point since it's just a bad episode. This particular release was done with a somewhat niche mindset to begin with, sorry if that bothers anyone. If someone else wants to revise the subs for the rest, feel free to steal these without asking, I don't care.

Description: Hunter x Hunter is set in a world where Hunters exist to perform all manner of dangerous tasks like capturing criminals and bravely searching for lost treasures in uncharted territories. Twelve-year-old Gon Freecss is determined to become the best Hunter possible in hopes of finding his father, who was a Hunter himself and had long ago abandoned his young son. However, Gon soon realizes the path to achieving his goals is far more challenging than he could have ever imagined.

Along the way to becoming an official Hunter, Gon befriends the lively doctor-in-training Leorio, vengeful Kurapika, and rebellious ex-assassin Killua. To attain their own goals and desires, together the four of them take the Hunter Exam, notorious for its low success rate and high probability of death. Throughout their journey, Gon and his friends embark on an adventure that puts them through many hardships and struggles. They will meet a plethora of monsters, creatures, and characters—all while learning what being a Hunter truly means.
