I started watching the first season of the anime Hunter Hunter with my bf today (we’ve made it pretty far already). I was wondering if anyone else thought the same thing I did when watching (if there’s a fellow weeb in this sub). The hypnotic trance Illumi puts his younger brother Killua under (during their battle to become a hunter) reminds me of having BPD. The things Illumi says to his brother about how he’s an assassin, it’s how he was raised, and how he has no wants of his own, how he can’t have Gon as a friend because all he does is kill others, reminded me of what it sometimes feels like to have BPD. Lately, I’ve been interested in fictional works that portray characteristics of BPD. If you’re interested in a new anime, it might be fun to check out Hunter Hunter. It’s super cute and I like the characters building friendships. I related more than I thought I would, and I’m excited to finish the show.
