Anime Hunter X Hunter Anime- Fall 2011

I understand the point of not liking this chapter because I persoanlly think this has been the worst out of 5. But I also know that it's not yet time to make a final decision about animation and fighting.

After all, this was practically a fodder chapter.

I agree. It started dragging from episode 4. It's most likely because of the background talk, but it still felt a bit dragging. It was good enough, but the fifth was just terrible. If I didn't read the manga, I wouldn't really understand what their point was and what they were getting to.

Still, some are just nitpicking on it. Can't say that they're wrong either. But I do have high expectations from Madhouse Studios because they always make those pew pew moments awesome and memorable.

may be they doing that as many of you know
they aiming for anew fans and dont make it well as most of us waiting
for the chimera ants arc and we will not care about the begining of the anime
and may be we skip it ....
but they miscalculate it and we old fans we hope the best for what we like

 

[Crude]

It's not really fair comparing the new anime to the old one, they're done by different studios. The new anime is using the manga as a guide, they're not going to use something produced by a different studio as a reference. I liked the original's pacing and storytelling better as well, at least when it came to the Hunter Exam. This new anime seems like it's going to be longer than the first and seeing as there's more manga material to adapt, the beginning is probably going to have a faster pace. This situation is kind of like Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, in that the original FMA anime had less to adapt, so the beginning was quite slow compared to the rushed pace of Brotherhood's beginning. The new Hunter x Hunter anime will probably be following the manga quite closely, so I'm sure that the former will get better as did the latter.

Well, seeing how they've toned down the violence and how bad the director is at doing his job I have my doubts it will get better. I don't see how they can animate bug-arc when it was by far more violent than anything I've seen in any shounen (including such titles like Shingeki no Kyojin and Claymore). As for FMA:B for the same reason I didn't like it too much and I consider manga > old anime > new anime.

 

[hunted]

just example lets see the fighting of hisoka in manga
and compare it with what happen in the anime ...
so i perefer the fight in manga than new anime and the new anime didnt follow the manga ...
although the old anime done changes and delete sometimes but they done it well
and make it master piece

 

[Tombadgerlock]

What are you saying?

The fights in the old anime were even more bloodless.

 

[Remnant]

I feel it's a waste, really. To stop all that bloodshed, and Madhouse took the studios.

Nah, maybe I put Madhouse to much credit for the animation. Let's just hope they won't back down. Hunter x Hunter becomes alike with mind games, and I hope they won't make that the strong point for the new anime because it'll never be the best one.

HxH is being shown at 12pm. They CAN'T show blood. They need a better time slot first. But it's not yet popular enough.

The anime's great and stays loyal to the original! Still, I would prefer the fast pace that the first few episodes showed. Now, the pace seems it's back to normal. I'm not sure how long Togashi wants HxH to run, but if it continues in a normal pace, I guess he either wants to prolong the manga a bit more, or he doesn't find it necessary to sync the progress between the anime and manga.

Oh, damn it. I can never perceive Hunter x Hunter as a show without blood. The seriousness of the atmosphere - it just can't achieve that at all. Oh well, can't do anything about it. >.<

Episode 5? I agree that the pacing was fast in the few episodes, and it was done well. However, in episode 5, I'd say it wasn't normal, more like dragging. You can tell that they were wasting minutes - unnecessary conversations and sometimes prolonging the unusual monster fights. They might as well leave the ending in episode 5 on the start of Phase 2 rather than just leave it with the presumption that they achieved/concluded something great in episode 5. And besides, showing off the unusual monsters (for sooo long) is abrupt. They wouldn't see them again in the next episodes.

Still, I want to believe that they're doing it in preparation for great fighting scenes.

...

But I can hardly believe that. I don't know how they'd compress the dialogue as well. The manga really does take a lot of it especially in the tournaments. Hope they still won't make it as worse as 5.

For starters it airs at 10:55 am, and they can have blood in that timeslot considering One Piece airs around that time in the morning and it;s pretty damn violent(and there has been some blood in the new anime, though not a lot of it).

The original anime was pretty heavily censored too. I think it;s too early to tell how censored it will be overall.

 

[lan2cp]

I just hope they are not leaving out Kaito from the new anime in order to take the Chimera Ant arc out also. :/

Their going to show him some time after the Hunter exam to lessen the gap between his first appearance and reappearance in the Chimera Ant arc.

Does anyone know when the supposed DVD/Blu ray will come out? I heard that in this version the show is supposed to be uncut. So is there any date as of yet?

Really? I guess I was wrong there. I heard it was 12 pm. But if it's 10:55 am then alright.

Does One Piece air on the same channel? Different networks might have different rules.
Also because it's One Piece and is so popular it might be able to get away with more.


well in any case we can only hope the dvd/blu ray version won't be so edited/censored.

 

[Uriel]

This chapter was good, although there are some things that surprised me. I understand they want to move quickly, but giving up to the Sushi thing was a bit much considering there was more wasteful scenes about the porks than needed. I also got surprised by Netero color palette but not in a bad way. I kinda like that double colored beard.

Now I'm wondering if they will cut the tower scenes. I bet it will, so I'm expecting that the arc about Genei is worth all this cuts.

 

[Netero]

The episode was good, I personally didn't mind the sushi part being removed because I found it kinda boring. Netero's new look in the anime is just awesome!!! I'm looking forward to the next episode because the great! Netero's in it

How many episodes will this cover? I noticed they're going rather fast as well compared tot he original.
