So the chimera arc COULD finish and they are still animating the old arcs... But i can't understand while they're doing it from scratch... The old one was epic ^_^

It´s really official now:

The upcoming television anime adaptation of the Hunter X Hunter manga will have a new staff and cast compared to the 1999 television anime, and it will retell the story from the manga from the beginning. The "definitive" new anime will premiere on NTV on October 2 and run every Sunday at 10:55 a.m. Hiroshi Koujina (Rainbow - Nisha Rokubō no Shichinin, Neuro - Supernatural Detective) will direct the anime at MADHOUSE (Death Note, NANA), and Jun Maekawa (Dragon Ball Z, Fresh Precure!) is in charge of the scripts. Takahiro Yoshimatsu ("Something Yoshimatsu" of Cyber Formula, Slayers) is designing the characters. Toshio Nakatani is producing.

The manga has sold 52 million copies, and Yoshihiro Togashi will resume the manga in the combined 35/36th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine next Monday. The 29th compiled book volume (pictured right) of the manga is shipping on Thursday.

I hope we will have a great anime-adaption with less censored parts from Madhouse.

Remake is a good strategy from Madhouse, because it would be a little stupid to make only an chimera arc with NEW Cast and let the old arcs with old cast off.
Beginning from Chapter 1 is the best Idea from them and they have now plenty time to make a gread anime adaption of HxH !!

But if they starts the anime now, that means that the manga is near its end?

I think so, but we don´t know, if Yoshihiro Togashi will end his manga.

Awesome news!

 

[zelllogan]

Wow, I wasn't expecting this. That's good news. I'm not too much into animes anymore but I won't miss this one.

 

[Host Samurai]

I wil give this a try since I think that the old series was nearly perfect. I hope for Madhouse that they will stay faithful to the manga and improve the new anime.

 

[Netero]

The reboot will be great for the series, and it will attract new fans.

I understand that point of view but seriously if they are doing a remake then, they better surpass the original series because that one was almost perfect from animation to soundtrack, voice actors etc. I really have high expectation for the Hunter X Hunter anime and I think many people share my opinion. Due to that surpassing the original series won't be an easy feat for Madhouse but I still give it a chance and watch it.

Yeah... I hope that the new anime will bring even more fans and that shueisha will force togashi to work

I wholeheartedly agree with this post. The first HxH anime was the only anime I got the OST for. Not that I liked watching a lot of animes, but in my opinion it was so good it forced me to get it. And the animation was superb, especially when they were at the York Shin Arc, especially the fight between the Zoldicks and Kuroro.

The Greed Island arc definitely needs this reboot.

The new style of Gon and his friends are the same as Nippon Animation did it. For my opinion of course.

Can anyone translated the voice cast text under that ?

I can't read Gon's.

For Killua It's Mariya Ise.
Leorio should be (can't really read it either.) Fujiwara Keji.
Kurapica is Miyuki Sawashiro
Hisoka is Daisuke Namikawa.

The art does look reminicent of Nippon Animation's version, and it's confirmed they're starting from episode one. I personally love Sawashiro-san and Ise-san, so in my shallow heart, this version is looking better and better.

 

[TemplateR]

I have searching the Cast and their including Anime-Projects:

Klliua = Mariya Ise ---> Fairy Tail (Levy Mcgarden, Romeo Conbolt, Edolas Levy Mecgarden), Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt (Stocking), Eyeshield 21 (Riku)
Leorio = Keiji Fujiwara ---> Ao no Exorcist (Fujimoto Shiro), Death Note (Shuichi Aizawa), Fighting Spirit (Tatsuya Kimura)
Hisoka = Daisuke Namikawa ---> Gantz (Kei Kurono), Bleach (Ulquiorra Schiffer), Black Lagoon (Rock)
Kurapica = Miyuki Sawashiro ---> Fairy Tail (Ultear, Virgo, Ur), Highschool of the Dead ( Saeko Busujima ), Deadman Wonderland (Toto Sakigami)

this wont turn out good i know it already
killua with levy mcgardens voice bah

 

[Netero]

I'm not going to judge the new anime till after I watch the first few episodes because to me you can't really judge something till it's actually released imo.
