Personally I thought the animation in the Greed Island OVAs wasn't as good as the rest of the series. It was cool to see the series animated digitally, but the animation was lazy overall.

Re: HxH 2011 Heaven's Arena/York New Arc Poster

I do hope Hunter can come back from hiatus as soon as it can. I don't really think the right side of the poster makes Hisoka out to be a good guy so much as it shows how he's not really part of the Spiders. Hm, I gotta say did this poster really need its own thread? It feels related to the 2011 anime so why isn't it just a part of that topic? Maybe we could make a merchandise topic once more of that comes out and merge this with that. Just my thoughts, Also I gotta admit, I wish Kurapika looked a tiny bit older since he's wearing his later outfit. He just seems so chibi compared to the manga version of him during Yorknew I hope he looks good in the actual Yorknew eps.

Yes, CrudeCross summed it up pretty well. The tone felt overall lighter then Yorknew and earlier arcs (because of the jarring and sudden color changes) But what I really disliked was the lazy animation, I chalk some of it up to early 2000's smaller budget animation just wasn't where it is today. It just feels crude compared to the first OVA's animation, just look at the Greed Island Final first opening animation. It's one of the worst pieces of animation I've ever seen. In terms of censorship there wasn't a ton, but some things were left out. I have friends who seem generally less enthused about GI as an arc due to seeing the OVA's first, whereas most of my friends who read the manga primarily love the arc. I think a lot of its due to how spotty the production values seemed in contrast to the 1999 series.

I remember 1999 and the first OVA fondly with nostalgia (its my favorite anime for a long time) but not so much Greed Island, so no matter what Madhouse does (unless they censor Bomber vs Gon) its going to be so much better for me simply by being animated better.

I despise the Greed Island ova's. The arc in the manga was great! and I'm expecting madhouse to do a way better job animating it.

Great episode! Loved the interactions with Gotoh. He really does care a lot about Killua.
Also am so pumped for Heaven's Arena. I'm glad they fit in the Hisoka whisper relevation etc in this episode as well.

Oh and please let next episode be a Kite flashback and not another recap.

I gotta say I'm really pleased with the show overal and this new episode! Gotoh is such a beast! I wonder if the steamy effect and sounds we've been getting teased is the way Nen is gonna look/sound? I hope its a bit more prominent when we finally see a real Nen battle.

I was expecting them to censor this.
Yeah I was wondering if they would censor it. Since some moron kid will get a knife and well you know.


Was actually animated really nicely. Thought they would just have it sorta drip down or just be like a red line.

BTW Gon is HARDCORE right there.

Aw next weeks gonna suck...

well at least this week was awesome. I loved the gotoh challenge, and was delightfully surprsed when they showed gon cutting thw swell in his left eye with no Censoring, the later half was also funny especially the scene where killua gave gon his "generous" evaluation on how far apart he was from hisoka(always loved that joke) I just sort of wish killua didn't blus when gon complemented him. I know they might just trying to be 'cute' with that, but seriously. no.

well after the s***ty recap is heavens arena and the introduction of nen! Can't wait for it!

great episode. the butlers are so militant in this version. it only dawns on me now that most abilities in hxh are based off of a real-world game or trick, haha.

the animation in this episode was so good. i felt like i was watching a ghibli movie. this anime is the exact same experience as reading the manga is--it's uncanny. i love it. and the dialogue in this series is even better. gon and killua together is a dynamite combination. they talk like they're so much older than they actually are, lol.

yeah great episodes.

Only nitpick...

Wish they didn't use the Zoldyck Family Theme for Gotoh. I mean...he's a butler.

But oh well Gotoh is awesome.

I see madhouse house going places now. HxH seem really promising. The next arc is one of my favorite arcs just because of Gon and Killua's interactions throughout it all. Can't wait!

What do you think?

Was it REALLY just a game for Gotoh or do you think he was serious?

Would Gotoh have killed Gon if he guessed wrong?

i doubt he'll kill gon but he might have killed leorio and kurapika instead as a consequence to "teach" gon.
he probably knows gon was whom killua bonded with and the other two can be collateral damage if it comes to that.
gotou is an honest guy and was telling the truth when he said that he hates them for taking killua away from him.
it's heavily implied that he's controlling himself from killing them outright because killua likes them.
