Yeah it's a glitch. I got it too!
I liked that a lot too, it made me feel like I was reading the manga for the first time again.
Just watched the episode 29, it's fantastic.
Something about the new ED always pump you up and leave you wanting more (so hot-blooded!)
We just get to the good part and then "next time..." comes up.
I like how they have Wing mentioned the danger of going up 'naked' against a nen user and showed the three cripples, because that one line from Killua went over my head in the manga. So I actually had a realization "OH!!" (never put the two together). Those three handicaps weren't just gimmick handicap fighters, they were crippled to illustrate a point, and that just make their characters so much more interesting. And to think that i wondered 'why on earth they got thru the first 200s without using weapons'...duh they were normal pretty strong fighters to begin with. They were crippled as they got up to the 200s and probably struggled a lot to rebuilt who they are now, while developed a nasty bitterness and turned 'Tonba', and teamed up to inflict what was done to them onto newbies.
That's the dark streaks I like about Togashi, it's not in the face.
The 1999 series totally ruin these by changing them into fake handicaps, they were so stupid and blah in the old anime.
And i like that there's no 'heroic' and 'dramatic' soundtrack when the two boys walked passed Hisoka's nen attack.
Though the pacing is pretty good though, considering the anime is an adaptation of a manga that's frequently on hiatus.
It looks like something Hot Wheels would make
You're not the only one. Damn I love the portrayal of Riehlvelt, Gido and Sadaso here. They give of the rookie crusher vibe of Tonpa but with the in ring skills to back it up. All of them appear to be legitimate threats to Gon and Killua regardless of their disabilities and that is how it should be. These guys went through hell to learn Nen and become stronger fighters, sacrificed life and limb (literally limb haha), you know they aren't just going to be filler fights (unlike 99 series...). They should be seen as a threat to Gon and Killua and I applaud to Madhouse for maintaining their disabilities, I feel that Madhouse have really solidified now that there will not be unnecessary censorship. Bring on the fights!
MONSTER TRUCK WHEELCHAIR TIME! is what I thought when I saw it :P It's pretty damn boss. The technique text during the Gido fight was awesome to me. That was the highlight of the episode to me. I like how Ten looks in this episode (though I still prefer 1999's weird nen noises over steam noise), though I hope we see more unique colors to Hatsu (judging from the next time preview seems like it). That Eva Unit/Wing screenshot comparison, hmm is that just a coincidence? Oh also, the shots of geniuses who awakened to Nen was so cool!
Also, I always loved this job agency woman's character design. And yet again she looks fabulous.
HAHA, oh man... I think I'm going to have a heart attack.I have an art request for you.
Can you draw the 2011 Riehlvelt with his wheel chair being bumped
by the 1999 Riehlvelt with his scooter---
Except draw 1999 Riehlvelt overweight and have his scooter be
one of those Walmart groccery carts
and then the 1999 Riehlvelt yells at the 2011 Riehlvelt
"Move it! I'm disabled!"
I'd try and draw it myself but you're much better at drawing overweight people.
