Anime Hunter X Hunter Anime- Fall 2011

[Netero]

Very true. Will there be an episode this sunday or will there be a week off because of new years?

There won't be an episode this weekend. The next episode is scheduled for January 7 on crunchyroll.

Thank you! I hope these pointless fillers were just because of the holidays.

Never say never as the saying goes, with Madhouse you might never know if they'll make use of fillers in the future...

 

[Uriel]

You know you're calling bad spirits, Samurai. Don't. I can tolerate one filler per 10 episodes. I filled my quota with this one.

I didn't intend to sound this way. I should have posted a smiley to avoid a misunderstanding.

Well, I wasn't expecting for Killuah to crush the heart of this mass murder, but they could've down much better without much effort. For example: Killuah could've just thrown the heart out of the arena all the way down. This way they would've captured the "theme" of this situation and it's a way to reduce the violence of Killuah crushing a uncensored heart and if he threw it away it would also show his intention of showing his enemy that there's absolutely no way to recover his heart no matter what (that's the feeling I got when I read it the first time). Killuah's mercilessness was missing completely in that remaked episode and that's an important part to show Killuah's roots as an Assasin, dont you think?
Don't get me wrong, I think the way the Animation Studio did this scene was kinda funny, but it wasn't supossed to be funny and I think if they have to reduce violence that much than they should at least keep the theme of a scenario.. if possible.

I'll keep watching this remake but I honestly don't see how they want to succeed in the Chimera Ant Arc if they don't start to think harder about this violence issue. o.O

I wanted to say this for a while now, but it's kinda hard for me to explain my point without appearing angry. lol

 

[ashher]

Just cause the scene was funny doesn't make it any less cruel or heartless. In fact the 'fun' was more like 'macaber,twisted pleasure'. My only complain is the shape of the heart wasn't well drawn.

 

[~Andrew~]

Well, that's a plausible explantation, too. But I for my part can't really say that I share your point of view, that may be due to my love for Killuah's unique personality. Especially the merciless part of his personality and I don't think that his behavior in this episode was fitting in with the meaning and the chapters theme at all. Because Killuah is still kinda new to the group this cruel move was to show that he's no child you want to piss off, since Leo and Kurapika had no clue about Kil's abilities up to that point, therefore they were astonished about the heart-removal-thingy =3

And as I said I'm not angry or something like that, but I will be pissed off like hell if they're going to f**k up some major scene's meaning or something worse, because the Animation Studio should know the Mange they're adapting. I'm positive that they will do a good job though it's mad house we're talking about here after all *~*

I just hope they forsee possible problems with upcoming violence in major story events. =)

I like how you interpreted Kil's merciless, though

I'm looking forward to the Hunter Exam's Final Stage, sucks that we have to wait a little bit for the next episode, but I guess it's worth waiting for.

Guys there is something that has been bothering me for some time, what are the possibilities that the animation team purposefully left out Kaito in order to eliminate the Chimera Ant Arc from this new anime?

None. It was said that Kaito would just be removed from the EARLY parts of the series. Supposedly because it would shorten the gap between that flashback and his actual appearance in the present.

 

[~Andrew~]

@lan2cp: You can also see Kaito in Hunter x Hunter's ending. There would be no reason for them to show him, if they're intending to drop Kaito's part in the later story completely. =)
Don't worry too much :]

The Chimera Ant Arc will be kind of a test for the Animation Studio, that's for sure.
That's why I already mentioned the importance of a little bit foresight xD
They can't just remove 50% of violence in Anime scenes without taking the latest completed Manga Arc into consideration. xD


It's their problem/their work so we should let them worry about future problems and I'm sure they'll handle everything as good as possible.

Uriel and I said a while ago when the Anime just started, that we want to wait for the actual Animation before we make up our mind, but I for my part have yet to wait for further animation, major battle animations to be precise, heh. Kil&Gon "VS" Netero was already nice animated, but Lucifer VS Kil's Dad and Gramps is a battle I'm looking forward to.
As long as the fights are cool I'm cool with the Anime too xD".

Ah an acctual episode! or rather some HxH material!

I liked this ep, Yeah I will say the first half with the ballots was dragged out but I liked the boat scene with Leorio and Kurapika conversing as well as gon and killua. what was really icing on the cake for that part was the bright detailed look in gon's eyes when he was happy/scared.

I LOVED the second half, once again madhouse proved that it can handle the action scenes well, even though it was short as crap, I loved how the arrow was animated to fly and Gon's training was done well. I was neutural to Gon's hunter's breif appearances as it made me question why he didn't just take gon's tag while he was asleep or something...

well I give this ep a 8/10, and judging by the preview we're gonna get ALOT of material next week! I'm looking forward to it

on another note I'm getting more and more used to the OST used, it took me a while to get used to but everything seemed to be used at the right momment. What I would have liked however is if the last track before the ep ended when gon snagged the bird, that they at least waited until gon acctually CAUGHT the bird rather than before hand but thats just a small gripe on my part.

 

[~Andrew~]

Thank you for remembering me. I'll watch EP 14 after I took a little nap (24h awake already + hard work). I will Edit my posting and reply to yours after I finished watching.
But a Ranking of 8/10 sounds pretty good.

 

[Crude]

The episode felt a little bit short. It was a cool episode and it had some pretty well animated moments (which make me think that future fights will look awesome!), but some scenes were pretty dragged out.

 

[mrsticky005]

It was dragged out but they did have two chapters worth of material. Which is standard.
I was disappointed that they didn't show Gon almost realizing Geretta is chasing him.
I was actually worried that they would forget Geretta altogether but thankfully they didn't.

As for the good...the action shown was great. Especially the Pokkle vs #105


Speaking of which...anyone else think #105 and the captain of the ship from whale island might be drinking buddies?

Next episode though looks like it will be quite good.

Also I think the arrow sequence may be the most gore this version of HxH has seen. Would be nice if they kept it up.

 

[Uriel]

Good chapter. Not awesome, though, I expect the next one to be like that. But glad things are getting shaped and us more close to the final fights to finally make a good judgement of this series.

This probably makes the whole episode :P

 

[Tame]

Pretty cool episode. My favourite parts were when they showed all 24 examinees in the order they left the tower, and Pokkle on the hunt - the animation was great for the arrow shot. The content for the episode was hardly to be expected to be amazingly exciting, but the next episodes should be really great.

I fail to see Kaito in the ending, can you help me find him?
