Anime Hunter X Hunter Anime- Fall 2011

[chikkychappy]

On a side note it seems companies over in the states are already bidding for the new anime. Guess their trying to run the popular shonen train.

where did you get this info from?

by the way, all those posted above (hisoka's personality changing, togashi supervising, etc.) are still rumors. they have not yet been confirmed

Someone talked to a Viz rep on Viz Media's facebook page and they said there is currently bidding going on for the series(they are probably bidding too) so it will hopefully get simulcasted.

Yeah it seems Viz and some other companies are interested in the new anime.

Some things you all might wanna know about the new anime:

http://mblg.tv/mooocha/entry/834/

-Kaito won't be appearing early on
-Hisoka won;t be perverted but instead be a "brave man" (not too sure what that means)
-Less violence (kinda obvious)
-Togashi himself will be supervising the anime

Well I;m not too surprised about hearing that the violence level will be lowered though hopefully not to the extent of Toriko. Hisoka being changed a bit is a bit disappointing, but Hisoka being well...Hisoka, I don;t know how well he;d have flown on a daytime timeslot for kids. Kaito not appearing early is fairly forgiving since he;s not all that important early on. I will assume that the flashback with him in the first chapter will be kept in though.

Since Togashi is supervising the thing I think most of these changes won;t end terribly, though I guess we'll see how it goes(I probably won;t notice too many of the changes since my memory of the beginning of the manga is somewhat vague). At least it means this might actually have a legit ending.

Everything is correct except for Hisoka. It's not 'brave man'. It's 'strong fighter' if we're to be literal. From what I can tell, it just means that he'll be someone who's really strong and likes fighting, but not someone who gets a sexual thrill from combat. But this is just what this blogger seems to think. I dunno if we should take it as fact until an official site lists it. They're not even sure if Togashi is really supervising it. (They say that's what it SEEMS like.) THere's some stuff about Yorkshin too, but again it's the blogger's opinion that it will change. Best thing to do is to wait until Madhouse or Nippon TV makes an official announcement.

Hisoka "brave man" what? I don't even know what "brave man" supposed to mean!

Ha! Literally laughed at this, for minutes. Because I don't know what a brave man is supposed to mean too. It's just... god I can't say it without profanities lol.

I think it might have been a miss translation or something hopefully it's just means something like strong fighter or some crap like that lol.

viz is nice an all but if anyone should have HxH it's funimation.

 

[Netero]

Yeah I totally agree. I would rather have Funimation get the new anime.

New Seiyuu confirmation. Keiko Han will be playing Mito. If the last name sounds familiar (which it should.), It's because her daughter Megumi Han is playing Gon. Irony much?

Koujina Hiroshi will direct.
Maekawa Atsushi will be the screenwriter.
Yoshimatsu Takahiro will be the character designer.

And as we all know, Madhouse will be the animator. That is all for now that has been confirmed....anything else should be treated as speculation.

HxH New Anime for 45+ episodes http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/int...ter-slated-for-45+episodes-chihayafuru-for-25

Though how do they plan to fit the series into 45+ episodes? Or is the 45 just a starting point? I hope they don't stop at like 46 episodes.

I hope they animate the Chimera Ant Arc eventually. It would be lame if they didn't.

That just means 45 episodes are definite, and will continue if the ratings are good, and I'm sure they'll do fine.

 

[mrsticky005]

Well that's a relief.

I like the new style because it does resembles to the manga a bit more, and I think it's a wise marketing decision if they want to attract younger audience to renew a bit the public.
I even think they made it simpler to encourage more fanarts, since it's easier to draw this way. (No, I'm not talking serious but I see this could be actually a consequence of this design)

It's a fact that the older one looks as higher quality, but we have to wait to see the animation per se until we can make a better comparison.

PS: No pervert Hisoka? Ohh, that was fun. But I understand why, since pedophiles and everything that resembles it are being strictly forbidden (Which I approve, even in this case)

^ as of yet, these rumors are still not confirmed or are they? So I will wait for some official news regarding the reboot. I can't imagine a not perverted Hisoka, he wouldn't be the same....

Thanks for the link chikkychappy!!

The trailer or more the teaser does look good, I can't wait to see the anime.

 

[Uriel]

Well, looks quite well. Makes me nostalgic :O

 

[Divinenega]

Animation looks pretty good. Wonder if the song in the background is the opening theme?

EDIT: Looking at the offical site...and wow it looks like it's gonna be on both Blu Ray and DVD for physical sales. That's pretty rare for a regular shonen title in Japan. Really makes me wonder who'll get the US license...

 

[Netero]

HOLY!!! crap!!! the animation looks even better then what I expected.
