Unlike the previous Hunter x Hunter live productions, 'A Longing for Pakunoda' is a play, not a musical. It's heavily based on the latter half of the York Shin arc [manga chapters 112 - 119; anime OVA I episodes 3 - 8], but does not follow the original events exactly, especially since a number of characters are missing. Hisoka, Leorio, Feitan, Franklin, Coltopi, Bonorenof, and Senritsu are all absent and no references are made to Neon or her predictions.
I've split my review into three parts: first, a cast list and character analysis; second, a summary of the play with my commentary; and third, a link to download screencaps from and some other useful reference links for further information. The play summary and commentary is pretty long since I opted to go scene by scene, so you might want to skip it if you just want a general overview and pictures.
