Anime Hunter X Hunter Anime- Fall 2011

[Host Samurai]

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.

I agree with you. This episode is by far the best that we have seen, yet!

Wow, they "showed" killua killing those 2 people. I wonder what will they do on the heart scene. BTW, am i wrong or the one with blue hair in the preview is a new guy?

That look on his face was totally badass. The dude with the scars on his face is just an insignificant character that encountered Hisoka.

Blue hair? Do you mean the guy with a scar across his face? If yes, then no, not a new character.

Spoiler

He is killed by Hisoka in the tower. I don't remember if he were in the manga, but atleast he were in the 1st anime

Edit: Oh, Host Samurai were faster...

In this ep, Killua said to Gon: "The old man has barely used his right hand and his left leg"

Spoiler

And in manga he explain to Gon almost in the same way

Spoiler

Now to the part where King chops off Netero's "arm and leg"

It's kinda interesting ^^

With blood ? Or not ?
Damn.......I must catch up the anime. I have stopped at Episode 3 >.>

Actually it's shown the blood but as an explosion or something :P Was cool, anyway.


And I deeply enjoyed the movements this episode, it's how I want to see a fight but with less static photo shoots :P

Yeah there was some static photo shoots. But I think they managed to do it in a way that didn't feel slow and tedious.

This episode (episode 7) was win. Better than the old anime imo as we didn't have to bother with the silly "stowaway girl" filler.

It was cool that they kept the scene with Killua killing the two guys he bumped into even if they had to use a shadows and a distant angle.

But the main thing was that the "keep away" game with Netero vs Gon/Killua was a lot of fun as I had expected it to be.

Finally great episode, i also liked the the track played when killua attacked Netero.

They also dealt with the violent scene in a good manner, not too cute nor too stupid.

Next episode will show us the true metal of HxH, i hope they won't screw it.

Anyway, that was probably the best episode so far. Loved the animation during Netero's little game with Gon and Killua.

Surprisingly I agree.I would put this episode on par with the old anime. At some aspects it was better but at some it was worse hence my verdict. The better part was that overall it stuck better to the original. Including Anita was a bad move and not showing Killua killing a guy was also a letdown in the old version. On the other hand, Hisoka was better shown in the old version and the first part of the fight with Netero was also done better in the old version IMO. I'm not entirely sure but I think in the new version they forgot to mention that Killua and Gon were offered Hunter license if they won. Here they were eager to do it just for fun. Also, in the new version it's been explicitly stated that if Netero was ordinary human his shinbone would be shattered but I've had an impression Netero was talking about Killua. Although that probably was translator's fault, not creator of the anime. Another thing, Anita noticing that Gon wouldn't be able to take the ball even if he trained 1 year made more sense than Killua saying it if we take into account that Killua later said he was afraid he would have killed Netero. Yeah, and how would he do that to a person he wouldn't be able to beat in a ball-brawl even after 1 year of training? But these are minor things and overall it was the first good episode (I wonder though if I'm not saying it partially because of what I saw one week ago, which was so crappy that in comparison everything decent would look like a godly episode).

Oh, one more thing. It's a shame there was no fanservice here :P. Old anime creators knew how to keep slightly older audience entertained ;P.

Spoiler: size

As for the episode itself, my favorite part was the one where Netero told the captain of the ship to slow down to let Gon rest. Him being a nice old geezer is one of the reasons I consider him as one of my favourite (if not all time favourite) character in HxH.

 

[Uriel]

Goral, He DID mention that if they won they would be Hunters. :O

 

[Goral]

You're right, my mistake.

About Netero's beard being multicolored...

It's actually that way early in the manga. I don't remember if it changes though

His beard stays the multicolored white and grey in the beginning of the manga, but then later is changed to all white.

I wish there was blood too. But censorship is censorship.

But I gotta disagree with you. The background music is great.

For some reason i think that the background isn't that memorable compared to the original series. The only song that I find memorable is apparently Hisoka's theme song, which is starting to grow on me. Other then that I don't pay much attention to it...

 

[chikkychappy]

as far as i remember, there wasn't blood in the first series at this point

well maybe but still they showed many brutal parts

 

[mrsticky005]

The first series was pretty mild compared to the manga as well. If it was more violent than the new series
then it's probably because censorship is likely more strict in Japan now then it was back then. It sucks
but it's something we all have to deal with. Now hopefully the version we see is a "broadcast version"
and they have a uncut version on dvd. But I dunno if they do that in Japan. I hope so.

This news is like an early christmas gift. I hope that they'll change the timeslot for it.
