The starting amount is 45+ episodes.
And they're going with 1 episode per 2 chapters, more and less. If they move like this they will reach at least Ryodan arc. I'm sure that by that instance they will start doing also Greed Island and if that's a success they will surely move on Chimera Arc! <3

Yeah at the current pace the Hunter exam will be done by episode 20. The Zoldyck chapters should be covered within 3 episodes, and heavens arena will be around 11 or 12 episodes long, so that means we'll be at Yorkshin by episode 35 :^_^

Why did they change almost all the second trial? The Sushi part was way funnier...

Probably so they could finish the second exam in this episode. They probably wanted to keep the second exam short
since it's the least exciting. Cooking sushi isn't all that exciting and I think they were able to get the same points across.

I think the sushi part works better in the manga where there are no time restraints.

Though I'm definitely looking forward to the next episode. :)

Aya Hirano is such a great Seiyu... Nice episode. It's been a while for me with those HxH chapters... So it's nice to have a recap.

I'm liking Netero's slightly different look! And Menchi looks pretty good with green hair. I don't mind them cutting out the sushi part, I'd rather the second exam be just one episode.

Horrible, just horrible. I've completely lost my faith now and I'm starting to wish the remake would never happen. I never thought it would be possible for me to hate Hunter x Hunter anime but they've managed to screw everything up. So far every episode was either bad, ugly or bad and ugly. But the last two were just horrible. In this one the joke about Leorio's face being the same was omitted (which is one of my favorite scenes) and instead we've had filler sliding scene and creators showing us the search for boars. A minute was wasted to see how Gon and others go through the woods to find pigs, lol. And while I'm at it, it's hard to believe they wouldn't see pigs from this high ground (even if we take into account that trees would obstruct the view). But this was acceptable. What was not however was the method of incapacitating the boar. Apples falling from a tree could KO the killer-boar? Are they f*cking serious? If it was so easy that a mere apple could do that this species would be long gone. That's just ridiculous and treating the viewer like an idiot. And Menchi evaluating pigs was a fail. They've mixed up two tests into one, a brilliant idea. NOT. They've cut out some great scenes and prevented the viewers from getting to know better some of the characters. They also didn't show that Menchi deserves the title of a Hunter and that she could do sth none of the participants (except certain two individuals) could. Getting the eggs was sth that 42 Hunter candidates could easily achieve. And updraft? Are you kidding me? If the wind would be so strong that it could hold a person I don't see how the eggs could be still where they are.
FAIL.

Also, talk about being lazy, spider webs are in rectangles, lol. Another proof that old anime had better graphics. And the trumpet music is really annoying. It could fit a slap-stick comedy not HxH.

Your being overdramatic. The pigs didn't get KO'd by apples....they got momentarily stunned by apples due to their incredibly soft heads, revealing their weakness and enabling everyone to KO them by smacking them in the head. Don't see what was so bad about that. Didn't have a problem with the updraft either.....honestly makes more sense for there to be some kind of mechanic like that then just jumping down a cliff and then climbing back up, thats should've been way too hard for the amount of passing applicants that resulted.

Plus they made that part of the test more detailed, something the manga lacked. The sushi part wasn't really neccessary.....both the pork part and the sushi part get the same point across - that Menchi is impossibly picky.

And I LOVE the pacing of this new series. The pacing of the old anime, well I didn't watch much of the beginning of it, but looking at the episode summary's based on the old anime, it went pretty damn slow, and that pacing seemed dry to me. This pacing is much more enjoyable, and let's be honest, this series has been rebooted. Its wiser for them to go through whats already been done more quickly so they can get to the content that hasn't been shown yet. Because thats much more enjoyable to watch, and ultimately the point of this reboot, is it not? I want to see the Chimera Ant arc animated and what follows. And were a long ways from getting there. I really don't want to watch stuff that's already been animated for the next 3 years before we get to the good stuff.

The voice acting is pretty good, and the music IMO is much better. I love the Hunter theme lol.

This is what I wrote in the Hangout thread but it definetly belongs in here as well.

Not for the Hunter exam itself but for the characterization of the side characters, such as Hanzo, who doesn't have that much screentime in the manga or anime. I found the sushi exam essential to show of his goofy side and not only his badass character (which will be shown vs. Gon in the final exam). But not only that, they even manage to not exploit Menchi's character at all. They failed to mention that she obtained the rank of a First Star Hunter at the age of 21! These are minor details but they're still significant for the story itself.

Hunter X hunter another one

I recently saw that they are making another Hunter X hunter anime. This time with different cast and voice actors. Is it really worth seeing again?

The opinions are divided. I think so, but because I'm waiting for the new arcs to be animated and I don't really care about how they start.

I agree with Uriel. They're doing it FMA style now, aka skipping all "needless" details in order to speed through the whole thing (i.e. they don't show Leorio get lost in the tunnel and then almost lose then remember his friend, instead when asked about his motivation he accidentally tells about it then powers through the tunnel instead, imo just as good).
And since it's HxH and it's helluva slow, you can betcha they'll slow down good at some point, my guess is late Greed Island and definitely the whole ant arc. All is worth it when you're waiting for the Kuroro scene at the hotel and for lightning Killua.

Well the drawings are far better.... Kurapica doesnt look like a girl as much...

I think they should slow down near the part they enter the pyramid like structure, where tehy goup with tonka and stuff.... if they erally wanted to speed up so much, they should have jumped to the insect arc directy.

I've always wanted this change, and this is one of the few things that the anime really did do me great. However, Killua has become less cool and become more of a cutesy and a kid. Still, it might be just me. So far, I like how the characters are going on. I'm hoping they'll keep themselves strong.

Actually this is how Killua is in the manga...at first. The new anime is actually doing a much
better job with his character than the old anime which made him all angsty and emo-tastic.
Next episode you should see a pretty major "change" in Killua. He won't be so "cute" anymore.

So far episode 7 was the BEST! It followed chapter 13, and 14 perfectly. Netero, Gon, and KILLUA! are BEAST! and I'm really looking forward to episode 8. :^_^
