SHINOBI, I'm not new in this forum, I was just a silent member, but every week I did enter this forum, just to read your review/comparison of such a great and excelent work of art that is Hunter x Hunter. There are no words to express how grateful I am for your work. Keep up the good work!!Well guys, this might be my final post here so I’m getting everything out here:

Best changes from the manga:
- Any of the scene rearrangements to make more contained mini-arc events
- Changing character designs from the beginning to be consistent with the later parts of the series.
Worst changes from the manga:
- All the plot changes concerning Kite and his relationship with Gon. Obviously this is the most critical one and it did affect the impact of the Chimera Ants arc
- Merging the cooking and sushi tests together. Not only we missed how the Hunters were handling this unfamiliar situation but we missed out the full grasp of Menchi’s character as well as Hanzo’s establishing moment.
- Hisoka’s massacre in the Hunter Exam
- Every awesome Leorio moment except for punching Ging in the face. But for the long time they made him too useless compared to the others.
- Omitting Maha entirely like he doesn’t exist.
- Omitting Kalluto’s part of Hisoka’s escape plan.
- Abridging Greed Island’s earlier parts because it removed some depths to the game’s system and what are the possibilities that could be done in that world.
- The lack of focus on Gairo despite giving him focus in the manga like he’s gonna play an important role in the future.
Best filler:
- Detention room (Episode 12)
- Canary’s flashback (Episode 24)
- Kurapika’s encounter with Mizukin (Episode 30)
- Zushi’s Water Divination results (Episode 37)
- Phantom Troupe vs Shadow Beasts (Episode 45)
- Kite’s childhood (Episode 076)
Worst filler:
- Killua spending time in the Butler’s house while his friends are playing a life & death game with Gotoh (Episode 25)
- Chrollo prepares his disguise (Episode 49)
Notice that I didn't have much to add for the best changes and worst filler categories. I guess that tells us how faithful this adaptation was. The worst fillers could be even considered nitpicks and not really the "worst" of all. Though the changes I still think they were terrible decisions.
