Wha...? The TV7 dub always refer them as "Genei Ryodan."
Of course, at that time I thought they were saying "Geng Eriodan"...
And the meaning of Genei Ryodan, believe it or not, is Phantom Brigade! _________________

Yes, that's how I always learned it as. I definately hope that they don't translate it as "Spider Brigade" in the english dub. Of course... translating this show is a good part of the reason I am planning to study Japanese. _________________

The artworks arent as good as the anime version. Some said it was because Togashi-sensei (the creator) was severely sick. I wonder why he didnt have any assistant at that time...
He's pretty popular with Yu Yu Hakusho and he didnt have any assistant? _________________

The OVA Greed Island DVDs are not yet available here -_-
So annoying -_-
(seen them though)
But there seemed to be something strange in the Greed Island episodes mister Alucard saw, Gon seemed to be drawn...diffirently, less detailed or something.

I started watching the anime and while its hardly ground-breaking its good fun to watch thus far (they just completed the third test escaping that tower). The only thing I will say and will not accept no for an answer is that Kurapica is totally a girl.
For a start she has a girl's voice (granted that's not uncommon in anime), second she looks totally androdgenous (again an anime staple), and granted if she is a girl she's totally flat (which in anime IS uncommon). But anyway, there are a lot of things that sway my opinion and she's definately got something going on with Leorio as well. Her backstory for one, she's the last living member of some tribe, if she was a boy why would they leave him alive? Leaving a young girl alive seems far more likely since they would assume either she didn't have the scarlet eye power or just didn't consider her a threat. The first time she took that outer robe off I almost took my assumption back, but then in the fighting ring in that tower she took that layer off as well to reveal another singlet underneath and below that something that looked like black lycra. So once again the artist has gone out of their way to keep the androdgenous nature of the character. In the 'next time' preview I saw a shot of Kurapica in the shower, and again the angle is from high up so that her chest is just off screen.
If they're going to keep this androdgeny up then I choose to believe that the character is a girl. Until I see concrete evidence to the contrary, I'm holding this belief.
Plus if she is a girl then I give the artist much more credit for creating a girl that's not your anime stereotype. If it is a guy then its just another boring effeminate character. If they keep up the illusion then power to them, some things are better not revealed either way. _________________

Heh a suitably non-spoilery answer to my question. Wiki says he's a guy without throwing any doubt into the character so I guess they go and prove it somewhere along the line... which would suck IMO. But yeh like you say, I should just wait and see. _________________
