Do you mean Chapter 1 from the compilation? The best I can do is take a picture with my phone (which I did for those).

This works too!

@Popo All for you

I just got the 4th compilation today, so I figured I'd take some more pictures. I still don't know why photobucket is flipping my images (after pasting the links it looks like most are upside down...). Let me know if this is what you wanted... or if you need the link to my photobucket (I haven't tested to see if other people can get to it from the images).

And I think there might be doubles... I did that because I saw a glare when taking the picture.

That compilation volume 1 looks better than the tankoubon verson. I'm wondering if all ~ 800 pages of it are tricolor or only the first chapter is? I hate hard-copies but if they color every single page then I may consider buying these volumes.

 

[Akia999]

Sorry for sounding like an idiot ,but what exactly is a compilation book? The cover looks really good though on those book.

 

[Crude]

The compilation books are basically a compilation of significant chapters of a series, featuring lower quality pages with bigger dimensions (magazine quality) but at the same time including the series' colour pages. They're usually released when the series they belong too has an anime. They're sort of like something made for people who want to catch up with the series.

HunterXHunter Soushuuhen (Compilation) Treasure volumes contain not just the most important chapters, they have all the chapters. At least when reading the 5 soushuu volumes I have I didn't notice missing pages or lines compared to when I read tanko volumes... (well, I didn't search specifically for them, though).

The printing quality is about the tanko level (black is smooth without white dots), and pics are their original size (that is, about twice bigger than tanko), thus small details are more visible... the paper qulity is lower than that of tanko, but it's alright. And there're a few special pages per volume with sections like Hunter center, Hunter mission, profiles, etc. I actually found some new (well, for me, at least) little tidbits when reading those sections, like Bisuke being Netero's disciple, Kuroro not just liking but also collecting ancient books, etc. Even the correlation between nen type and nen user's personality coined by Hisoka is presented in an expanded way.

Spoiler

Come to think of it, I have a feeling the diagram of relationships within the Zoldyck family looked a bit different in my soushuu volume...

Well, anyway, I actually like my soushuu editions better than my tankos, haha. But it's probably not a very good idea to read them for the first time readers who know nothing beforehand because vol.1, for example, spoils the 12 Zodiacs in the explanation of how the Hunter Association works and there's a panel with Leorio using his nen ability, vol.2 spoils many things about the Genei Ryodan, the list goes on.

And while I'm at it, did anyone see the original image of the one below from the time where it was published in SJ magazine? This was a pic for the second popularity poll, I think (this one is a scan from soushuu edition vol.4)

Wow, all that information? I wish there was a translation somewhere, I'm definitely interested into knowing more detailed Nen types according to Hisoka and family chart from the Zoldycks.

 

[fanatik]

Well, Hisoka's classification on the pic above basically goes like this:

Spoiler

Kyoukakei (Enhancement/Reinforcement)
The defining personality traits of enhancers are their simplicity and earnestness. Most of them don't lie and don't hide anything. Their words and actions are often controlled by their feelings. They're usually incredibly selfish and persistent in pursuing their way.

Henkakei (Transmutation/Transformation)
Me and Killua are the same type, we're both whimsical liars. Transmutors possess a unique outlook, that's why, from other people's viewpoint, among transmutors there are a lot of those who are considered tricksters or weirdos. We rarely reveal our true intentions.

Gugenkakei (Conjuration/Materialization)
The one word to characterize conjurers' presonality is 'high strung'. They're very careful and guarded, to the point of being excessively cautious. Since they're very observant, they rarely fall into traps. Being able to calmly analyze things is also conjurers' forte.

Houshutsukei (Emission)
The defining personality traits of emitters are short temper and crudeness. A lot of them are easily angered and hot blooded. They're similar to enhancers in that they're impulsive, but the difference is probably in that, unlike enhancers, they tend to forget and calm down just as easily.

Sousakei (Manipulation)
This's Illumi's type. Manipulators like doing things at their own pace and tend to be argumentative. They find arguments for everything and have a tendency to wish to keep their family or lovers restrained. On the other hand, when it comes to pursuing their own goals, they turn a deaf ear to what others might have to say about it.

Tokushitsukei (Specialization)
Specialists are individualists. They won't tell you anything important about themselves, and they refrain from making close friends. But, due to their natural charisma that attracts others, they're always surrounded by a lot of people. Like in Kuroro's case.

Aw man, I wish I had seen these transaltions of hisoka's ratings, cause I found a different translation that may have screwed me over XD but then again, it could work itself out.

 

[Uriel]

Damn, that means I'm not Materialization as I thought but instead I'm more likely Emission or Manipulation. Which sucks, since I never thought in a technique involving those Hatsus xD

 

[Netero]

Based on the personality chart, my nen type would be Manipulation. I don't know why I always thought my nen type would be Conjuration lol.

 

[there76]

Transmutation, different than I expected, and here I thought I was manipulation.

 

[MegamanX195]

Manipulation for me. According to that manga page and to some of those Internet tests, I would be Manipulation too.

 

[TheAmericandream]

Internet tests? Are you talking about some kinda fan Aura personality quiz? I'd be interested in seeing that if you had a link.

Anyway based off personality, I had to think it over quite a bit but I think I'd fall under Conjuration maybe blossoming into Specialization later in life (not sure which one suits me more). Which is what I always thought but I loved seeing these more elaborate detailed explanation by Hisoka. The whole aura based off personality element was introduced in such a cool way in the manga. I hope the new anime manages to fit in all of Hisoka's analysis in a natural way (the old series only keeps the lines about Enhancers and Transmuters)

I got the 5th compilation today, as well as the mini figures that came with candy. They are a couple times larger than the other mini figures. There are 5 different ones, so I actually have 2 sets (I thought I was only getting 8 figures instead of 10). If anyone would be interested in a set, let me know.

Spoiler

 

[Popo]

Thank you so much for posting all of these images! I'm surprised by Kite's colors in it...but I like it. I wonder if Madhouse is going with that color scheme or the one on volume 26?

There were other tests I did, but it seems I only bookmarked this one:

It's in Spanish, so, unless you understand it, use some translator.

 

[majinjeb]

These are due out late August:

I was debating on getting these, but I don't think it'll be worth it. I'd rather have a large figure that looks good than all of these that are small (and to me not so great quality). I think the one I want the most is Hisoka, but yeah... I'll wait and hope for a larger figure of him.

I got the 6th compilation earlier this week. Here is the extra cover inside (sorry about the pics being in the wrong direction):

They don't look too bad, from a distance Gon and Kurapika look pretty ugly but if you zoom up (can do this on Japanese Amazon), they're not bad looking. Illumi is still ugly though lol. I'll probably buy.

I'd love to have Pitou and Pariston figurines, might be a wait though!

 

[majinjeb]

I'm still on the fence about it. I guess I have a couple of months to decide before they are released.Do you know if the alternate faces come with the original (I guess detach the head and replace it)? I saw that ordering them you get a box of 6, and it said there was a variety of 6, but I wasn't sure about the alternate 3 faces.
