Anime Hunter X Hunter Anime- Fall 2011

[Noonealive]

To be honest, it should have been done right the first time or else there wouldn't had been a re-make. I liked the old series very much, it's what got me into HxH in the first place, but after reading the manga i understood why they stopped the series. What Furuhashis did was good but it wasn't particularly what togashi had intended.

In the older series after Gon saved them from the cave Leorio was the one whole stole Ponzu's tag which is a big miscalculation. Furuhashi is the one telling the story at this point. Which is in a way an insult to Togashi . Changing up somebody's own story is pretty insulting. In some of his interviews he points out that he doesn't like working with other people because of reasons like this.

Anyways i agree completely, there hasn't been a better time to be a fan. I'm glad it's back and can't wait for it to show it's greatness.I really want to see how the later arcs will get handled, especially certain fights. The animation isn't to bad and it seems like it'll give enough fluidity when it comes to actual fights.

Spoiler

Heaven's arena arc
Gon vs opponents
Hisoka vs Kastro...Gon
Killua vs opponents
And how the Nen ability will be conveyed

I used to dislike Togashi's drawing when reading the Edited Mangas on the net, even thinking old anime's style was better. Then, after I bought and read them physically I loved them. Guess I just hate reading mangas/books in the PC

Togashi's a great artist if we look at certain pages/panels and also at the volume covers. At the same time he can be very lazy, that or he really has health problems. This large string of chapters we've had since the last hiatus have been pretty good art-wise, not so great compared to other manga series but still pretty good nonetheless. The artwork in the first anime was awesome but I think the new anime has even better artwork in that it sticks with Togashi's style yet manages to make it look better.

What I really dislike about the old anime is their changing of the story... Especially:
The changes during the first and the last exam;
Battle order in Heavens' Arena and no Hisoka vs Kastro (even no censored fight);
The story of the Meteor City. That one was the most important. They cut the part about the kamikaze revenge, so we couldn't really understant why mafia wanted to stop searching for Phantom Troupe.
I disliked that the anime stopped in the middle of the arc. Yeah, now we have OVAs, but I think they started much later after anime ended. Good think I didn't watch it ongoing that time.
But strangely I really enjoyed the OVAs, especially the second and the third one, for being so close to manga. The first was a bit dragged off, but still great.
Imo, manga>2011 anime>2nd OVA>3rd OVA>1st OVA>1999 anime

Do keep in mind that Togashi redraws the volumes and too often people
judge him based off of his worst rather than his best.

Also Edited Mangas reduce the image quality. This isn't an attack on Manga Editors
but just the fact that the original will always look better than a scan copy.

And I second this. Too bad I didn't had any money with me when the manga volumes where released here in Brazil. =(

Well aren't they still released?

Also...Viz needs to add HxH to their digital manga. If Viz expects us to drop Edited Mangas and use their services then at least make the manga more readily available.

@Off-topic:
I have some problems finding bookstores with the volumes avaiable close to home. The places I used to visit had all been closed ._.'
And the matter of money persists as well =P

Yeah, those are most of the reasons. But as I said, I also personally hate reading mangas on the PC, and I only read the newest HxH chapters online because I know I'll be buying the actual volumes as soon as they're released here. I'm not sure why though, it just doesn't feel right for some reason.

And I finally found the hit. Damn I love posting these.

Guess I was wrong on that one and Hanzo does hit him...just really really really fast.

Though it's rather hard to catch/tell what's going on. I thought it was just a zoom in
but it does indeed show Hanzo hit Gon in the back of the neck and then retract
his hand in one very fast and very swift motion.

 

[Uriel]

Like every ninja should

 

[Noonealive]

Or assassin.. =[] lol

 

[CrimsonChaos]

Thanks Uriel for the GIFs xD and He is a ninja indeed *0*

Just out of curiosity, what does that last one mean?

It's mean ugh!! the similar sound to the one in the anime

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow isn't this the first time that one episode had been discussed for 7 pages!!??

Just....wow!!

Since it is 2 days left until next episode ..... Episode 20!!!

Spoiler

Episode 20:
2nd fight : Kurapica Vs Hisoka
3rd fight : Hanzo Vs Pokkle
4th fight : Hisoka Vs Bodoro
5th fight : Killua Vs Pokkle
6th fight : Killua Vs Gittarackur aka Illumi

Which Fight do you looking forward to? xD
For those who are new you can watch ep.19 tournament table and discuss which fight do you looking forward to?

 

[Crude]

It also won't be the last time. I think the Hisoka vs Kastro episode will generate even more discussion.

 

[MegamanX195]

I think...

Spoiler

Nen in general will generate a lot of discussion (animation, sound effects), too. Probably more than this episode.

Yeah, though I almost feel it's TOO fast. But thanks for posting the gifs and clarifying.

I wouldn't get my hopes up. Those fights aren't really shown in the manga. They may add filler to include those fights but I wouldn't count on it.

It also won't be the last time. I think the Hisoka vs Kastro episode will generate even more discussion.

Heavens Arena is gonna be great. We're probably just two months away from it.

I think...

It's gonna be sweet.

This track is just beautiful. I love how well it went together with the scene in which Gon and co. roam the island during the 4th exam. It's probably my favourite track in the whole OST, track 26 coming in a close second (it's the music that plays before the opening). Also, while listening to the OST I found some tracks would fit the Greed Island Arc really well such as tracks 8 and 21.

PS: Track 18 reminds me so much of the intro music in Final Fantasy VII

I agree. Tracks 8, and 21 would definitely be great for the GI arc.

They didn't censor this hit.
