well yes the latter is definitely more brutal but keep in mind that it is a KID cutting his own eye. People tend to be more sensitive to violence when it involves children or young teens.

I think Hisoka vs Kastro will be minimally censored and by that I mean it won't go into
too graphic detail on the dismembered arm. Like you won't see all the nerve endings
and all that.
I think your right. I also think it will be a very stylised fight, using creative effects and angles. I think that type of censorship works so well for Hisoka as he is a magician, it's like you are trying to keep up with his tricks (see Hisoka vs. Togari in Trick Tower).

The 1999 series actually DOES show Hisoka's arm being dismembered.
Though it does it in a weird spin way that zooms in on part of the arm
and rotates the arm around until it is dismembered. Though it's zoomed
so you can't see the break but from the angle of the arm it's obviously broken.

The manga actually never shows Kastro "ripping" off the arm.
Rather he does his tiger bite fist and the arm is suddenly
up in the air and dismembered. Obviously from the tearing
on the arm it was clearly torn off. But you never see the
arm actually being ripped off. I mean you never see anything

like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L-Z9OJaIPQ&feature=related

Instead you see this



Notice how you only really see the result but never the process?

My guess for how it will look...

Kastro will have his hands positioned in Tiger Bite Fist towards Hisoka's arm.
Hisoka will still have his arm attached. Kastro's hands will then switch positions
so that they go through Hisoka's arm (causing it to dismember) this part will
be shown using the quick animation (like with Hanzo's quick chop). It will
look like Hisoka's arm just popped off which is the same effect as the manga.

They can even use nen to their advantage to censor. They would just have
the nen block the view of where the arm breaks. In a way the DBZ clip
did this too except with Piccolo's blood. With an actual arm being ripped
off you would see a lot of blood for sure but also the bone and nerve endings
and what not. In short it would be very disgusting. Togashi shows it actually
rather classy. Something you would expect from a guy like Kastro.

Now what probably WILL be censored.



Hisoka will still pull the card out of his arm but you won't see as much blood.

Just imagine if this anime was originally made in the U.S. Imagine all the censorship that would happen.

It would depend on the time slot.

I don't think they're going to show this scene , I think they'll show Hisoka making the card out of the air.
just like this :

To be honest I kind of took the card as hisoka
sticking part of the bungee gum to the celing and letting the card fall.
but yeah, that could be the case

I hope that is not the case as it kills the entire point of that moment. Hisoka had foreseen his arm being dismembered, somehow. That is the trick behind it. Just making a card appear does not have anywhere near the same effect.

^I also want them to show it the same way as the Manga, but that's almost impossible, so I wish they show it in a way that has the same impact as in the Manga.

The old series didn't show much.


At one point, you see Kastro behind Hisoka.





Next thing you see is Hisoka's arm flying, but you barely catch a glimpse of the stump.



Next you see this. If you've never read the manga, would you think that he's chomping his arm?



This scene as well. If you've never read the manga, would you realize that Hisoka punched him with his severed arm?

That's why I hope Madhouse give us something way better than this. And let's hope they pick the right directors for it.

And they say the new series is less violent or not bloody?

Ha yea, so far the new series is doing a lot better. The 1999 series censorship was really inconsistent, its weird.

I think they WILL show Hisoka pull out a card. There will just be less blood.

I was talking about this thread.
There hasn't been a post in here since almost two days, I don't know why, but it bugs me.
Don't worry. There will be plenty of posts after the next episode.
Given this is an thread for the 2011 Madhouse Anime it makes sense
that there be a lot of posts right after the episode but then after
everyone gives their opinion on the episode and what they hope
to see the next episode it's like well what now?

And with the hiatus going on in the manga it's hard to discuss that.

BTW since jump is on break this week, wouldn't it be cool if HxH returned in the following week?
Not saying it will... but it would be cool.

Honestly I'm just trying to kill time until the next HxH episode. :D

Just over an hour until the latest episode is out. I just rewatched the 99 version of this ep and they actually did both the Nen explaination and Gido battle in 1 episode, anyone else think the pace might pick up in this ep as well? It would certainly be interesting if we get the entire Gido battle.

Certainly did. Okay 10 minutes left, see you guys on the other side of this episode haha.

EDIT:

Just finished watching. HELL TO THE YEAH!
Amazing episode, Nen is so well portrayed in this new series.
The arena looks stunning as well. Gido's tops look so badass and damn that animation was gorgeous!

Great episode. Nen looks simply amazing! in the anime. I officially have no doubts in my mind about how awesome the fights are going to be.
