[Divinenega]

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

It;s already been established that he will be introduced later on in the anime. Probably around when Gon goes back to visit Mito with Killua

I really like the track that plays just before the opening and in this episode just before the ending. So epic! I just noticed that Hisoka's red hair is using blue for it's shadow. I know it's pretty minor, but it looks pretty cool . I expected the flashbacks to be longer, as well as seeing Kaito in this episode, but I'm not too disappointed. The violence being toned down was to be expected. Look at any Jump anime currently airing and you can see that their violent content is being censored. At least it's not like Bleach where blood was replaced with either a dark brown liquid or sweat/stomach juice.

You know in a sense a "dark brown liquid" or "stomach juice" sounds a lot more violent
than just blood. Actually it sounds pretty gross. I don't even want to think about what
it's supposed to be. If blood makes you queasy I don't see how that other stuff wouldn't.

Yeah I love the track that plays at the end when they go running into the swamp.
I don't care what anyone else says. I think this is gonna be a damn good OST.

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

my mistake, i missed it.

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.

i agree with you, the original got that dark theme around it, which was great IMHO!
but the remake sounds too cheerful which could ruin the theme in upcoming arcs like yorkshin arc and chimera ant arc!

i hope they handle the violent scenes with a bit of sense, okay no heads flying but add alittle blood.

like this one. http://www.mangareader.net/207-14023-13/hunter-x-hunter/chapter-14.html

I'm sure when we get to the darker parts of the series the new anime will fit. I don't think this cheerfulness will last long.

Actually it's already getting less cheerful with Tompa crushing rookie's dreams, Leorio's realization that the world runs on money,
Kurapika's willingness to forsake his pride to avenge his clan, little by little we're finding out more about Gon's absent father,
Hisoka killing the fake examiner as a solution and then that same fake examiner becoming vulture food as everyone watches
and then everyone is going to run into the foggy swamps where Satotz has warned them that if they aren't careful they will die.

Yeah...it's not sounding too cheerful anymore.

Actually blood doesn't make it more serious. I'll take as example Tarantino: rivers of blood doesn't make it more violent, it actually gives it a cartoonish feeling. Bad treated blood is worst than no blood. In the case of Hisoka I think it makes sense, since the cards are sharper and got in the skin they caused internal damage (If not there is no way those cards would have killed it anyway) rather than external bleeding.

:/

True. Realistic blood/bleeding is actually a bit difficult to draw since many manga artists probably have not actually experienced anything
like the hyper violent worlds that there characters are a part of. I mean I write comics and many have rather violent themes but thankfully
I have not actually experienced seeing such violence. I mean I've never seen someone get shot and I'm rather glad about that actually.
I think most artists or writers would be like me where they can only imagine how graphic something like that would be. Of course you
don't actually have to see someone get shot in real life. You can always watch videos of people getting shot in real life (I'm sure there
are plenty.) But while I may or may not have the stomach for it ( honestly I probably don't) I would feel rather guilty watching another
person get shot. Whether or not I should is another manner but that's just how I would feel. I can stand fake violence much more
because I know it's fake. For the most part blood isn't gross to me but at the same I have my limits and I prefer not to be tested.
Some people get their kicks out of watching torture scenes but I don't. Yes I do think torture can make a story interesting but I
don't believe the reader has to "experience" the torture to understand the character has been tortured. I'll take your word for it.
Though I'm only speaking for myself as far as my lack of experience with violence. While I wouldn't expect anyone here to have
witness much violence I wouldn't rule out the possibility. Of course even if you have experienced much violence. That doesn't
mean it's going to be easy to draw because well drawing isn't easy.

People need to also remember these things tend to be released uncut on DVD later on. Being concerned with it now before the good parts begin is a bit strange.

True. The uncut dvds will have all the bloody goodness sadists desire.

 

[Host Samurai]

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

I think it's this one. I prefer the old one over the new one.

 

[Uriel]

I think it's this one. I prefer the old one over the new one.

Why everyone hates Spanish guitars? T_T They're awesome. I prefer the new one over the old one because I think fits more Hisoka theme...something that resembles a gipsy somewhat.

Which makes me wonder if there will be ANY way for me to see it T_T

 

[ish3]

Okay thanks for posting that vid since I haven't watched the anime in about 2 to three years. I agree with Uriel. The new theme is way more suiting for Hisoka. The old one sounds like it should have been for someone else. It doesn't even remotely fit his personality or attitude.

i kind of marathoned through york shin of the old anime

oh god, too god *____* i like this remake but i can't even imagine how it could start comparing to the 1999 series

Well it's a bit unfair if you're trying to compare it to the York Shin arc.
The new anime is still technically on the first exam. Just wait a little while.
You're not even giving the new anime a chance. You're just watching latter
episodes in the old series and thinking "Nothing can top this." When what
you should be doing is comparing the corresponding episodes of the new
series with the old series. You can't compare the York Shin arc since there
is nothing yet to compare to in the new series. And it's not fair to assume
the new series will be inferior when it gets to the York Shin arc since we
are only four episodes into the new series.

The only thing about that song which fits hisoka are the first 8 seconds. Everything after the 8th second makes no sense whatsoever with a coldblooded whimsical murderer. I like the Spanish guitar way better and makes more sense IMHO.... Maybe I am just not attached to the old anime as I never saw anything of it (just the ovas when they were aired on animax a few years back).

 

[Netero]

I love Hisoka's new theme

 

[lasso]

i think this was hisoka's main theme in the original anime.

as for the new tracks, i still don't feel it, maybe because i listened too much to the old tracks and can't get them out of my head

I don't think Hisoka actually has a theme. It's just creepy music plays when he's there.

I'm a little late on this, but why are they making a new anime and starting from the very begging? The original was excellent.

I think they want to do a more approximate version of the manga, maintain the style trough the series, fix some mistakes that were made and make it more likable to new possible fans.
