Anime Hunter X Hunter Anime- Fall 2011

[Negative Syndicate]

The ending for new series is okay, but I definitely really hate the new opening. It is too Toriko-like, and Hunter x Hunter doesn't fit with Toriko-like opening.

I, personally, think the best opening for Hunter x Hunter is Taiyou wa Yoru mo Kagayaku; this opening really fits with Hunter x Hunter.

I like the new opening. I think it fits well for the Hunter Exam, but yeah opening 2 is definitely my favorite of the first anime. Well anyways the next opening should be more dark so it will fit the atmosphere for York Shin just like the first anime.

I always did like Gon's dub voice over Junko Takeuchi, I don't know what it is but I was never a big fan of her voice acting. I like Megumi Han voicing Gon more than Junko Takeuchi. If someone like FUNimation picks up the series it would be cool if they can get Brendan Hunter to voice Hisoka again because I think he did awesome portraying Hisoka. If they couldn't Doug Erholtz would be pretty cool, he as that real creepy tone to his voice that would match Hisoka imo.

I just hope they don't take forever to license it. The original dub was gotten way late and didn't even dub the OVAs which sucked.

also on another subject the chapter was saying that the anime had "great popularity" any stats for how popular?

I hope someone licences it some time next year. Okay now on to the popularity. The ratings seem to be doing good
someone on mangafox posted the ratings but this is only for Kanto region of Japan.

Err actually for it;s timeslot the ratings are a bit subpar. It needs to be in the 5-6% range. Ratings probably will get better when they cover more of the Hunter Exam, but I guess we'll have to see.

Of course if it does well in merchandising it could still get an extension regardless of ratings.

Okay thanks for clearing that up. The ratings should improve over time.

ep 4 was pretty great

 

[OPN]

ep 4 was pretty good. the music was much better in this episode and it showed that it can get dark when they hit the darker points of the series. it looks like they may not remove ALL the blood since there was some blood on leorios shirt (at least it looked like it) when he was a kid so theres hope. the guy being eaten...im surprised they kept it but they didnt show any blood which is expected.

Episode 4 was the best so for me. The part where Hisoka killed the guy with his cards was actually a little more violent then the first anime.

Episode 4 was the best so for me. The part where Hisoka killed the guy with his cards was actually a little more violent then the first anime.

The episodes just keep getting better and better.

This is pretty much what I was expecting. Still not as violent as the manga
but a little bit more so than the original anime. Censorship doesn't bother
me as much as bad editing does. If they at least make it look like it
wasn't supposed to be violent then I'm cool with it.

Though I'm a little disappointed that they took out the part where Hisoka kills the monkey.
I'm guessing it was more of a time restraint issue then one of it being too violent since
it did show Hisoka killing the guy with the playing cards.

Also Satotz is a bad ass to catch Hisoka's cards like that. I mean we all knew that from
the previous anime and the manga. But it just needs to be said again. I really hope
Togashi has the examiners fight because they chew bubble and kick ass at the same time.

One thing I like better here than the original anime is that it actually felt like a marathon.
All episode they are running and now they have to run more and in swamp. I thought
this part in the original anime felt a bit tedious. But here it actually makes it seem a bit
more grueling.

Again no Kite flashback. But it's still good. I'm sure when they do show the flashback it will be great. However I'm pretty pumped for the rest of the exam and series.

Satotz is definitely a complete BADASS! and the way he walks is just straight up pimp Hisoka not killing the other monkey man must have been a time restraint thing like you said but I'm cool with him just running away. I thought we would see a quick glimpse of the Kite flashback but oh well... lol. The next episode should be really good. Also by episode 6 we should see my all time favorite! character Netero! making his epic jump from the blimp.

 

[Riku]

Man, this far the show has been just good. Or okay. But man episode 4 was excellent! Pergect I might say.

Winners of the episode imho:

1. Leorio: The voice acting. His burst after almost failing. Talk with Kurapika. I loved what they did with his story, the flashback. Excellent. Just made me like the character even more than before. Definetly the main chracter I have the easiest time to relate to. The guy is just awesomely his self, and quite a decent regular dude. And man, the gag about his age was wondefully pulled of

2. Satotz: So badass. That running style and all. And the conflict with Hisoka. Win, win, win!

3. Music: The tracks that played during Leorios flashback and when the fog started the to disappear at the swamp. Beautifull. Other cathcy tracks too, though I still prefer the soundtrack of the firs anime.

4. Hisoka: Finally hint of the playfullness I were looking for.

5. Killua and Gon: The interaction between the too is great. So warm and amusing. Even if it was cheap animation, I loved the scene were we saw them should up going up the stairs, dodging fallen candidates like nothing.

Also, they slight changes they made to Nicolas and his part in the story. Liked it.

 

[Host Samurai]

@Ustegius: You summed up all the good points about this episode. So I agree with you.

The only thing that I still don't like is the background music when Hisoka killed the impostor. It's the second time that I heard it and apparently it seems to be Hisoka's theme song, which I don't like at all. The spanish guitar sound doesn't do Hisoka justice in any way, he needs a kind of tune, which is creepy but also epic at the same time. Kinda like this.

 

[lasso]

i'm disappointed that they're toning down the violent scenes, the only drop of blood in this show so far is the one runnig down killua's cheek in ED,LOL!

i seriously hope that i'm wrong, this show isn't meant for kids below 9 years, at least that's what i figured out reading the manga and watching the original anime.

 

[Uriel]

I liked this chapter, although the animation this time wasn't as good as the first episode. I hope that they do an effort when they arrive a to real battle.

Liking the pacing, although this time there were too many empty images that could have been used for another thing(Kaito for example) more important.

Again no Kite flashback. But it's still good. I'm sure when they do show the flashback it will be great. However I'm pretty pumped for the rest of the exam and series.

I was expecting also a mention, and that made a bit annoyed.

Hisoka voice is good, I actually prefer this one considering what is to come of him. I also loved Satotsu scene, He proves He's epic.

 

[kkck]

I think the music theme overall fits hisoka. For me it kinda makes sense. What was his theme music during the last anime?

Umm there was blood in episode 2. The guy lying on the floor in the shack was bleeding quite bit

It all depends on what you're comparing it to. The manga? Of course it's not going to be anywhere near as violent. The manga is actually pretty close to being seinen. The original
anime however was rather toned down on the violence. And yet it was still good.
This actually looks like it will be more graphic than the original yet not as graphic as the manga.

 

[hunted]

just a question and only question ...
where is kaito ....???????
one from the most important character didnt appear even though he dont have much appearence
in the manga but he have agreat effect on gon and the reason why gon searching for his father
