Fun Hunter x Hunter Hangout Thread [01]

Am I the only one who has no interest in them redoing the greed island arc, and hoping they skip right to the chimera ant saga
In which I heard alot of people complain, but I thought that arc was freaking amazing...
I loved how Netero shows up and is like..
GTFO...you guys are weak as hell.

Greed Island in my opinion is better than the majority of the Chimera Ants arc. The Final Act of the Ants arc is the best point of the manga in my opinion. The Palace Invasion was one of the greatest moments I have ever read in manga in general. It was so well concieved and presented, the tension was thick enough to cut with a knife and everything that followed was simply astonishing. Too much of the Ants arc was build up. The Greed Island arc was firing on all cylinders from the get go, features nearly every fan favourite character and in my opinion has one of the most interesting and under-rated villains in the entire series, Genthru. I can not wait to see Greed Island animated again, it was always my favourite arc from start to finish.

You might be,unfortunately .As much as I want to see the chimera ant arc ,I'm looking forward to see how they will handle the greed island arc.The nippon adaptation was a bit inconsistent particularly with the art.And beside they can't just skip to the chimera ant arc ,it would cause a huge hole in the plot.And also it would also catch up the manga too fast.
I like the chimera ant arc but the art and hiatus make it less enjoyable.

No way! The Chimera Ant arc may be my favourite arc in the manga, but Greed Island is what I'm looking forward to the most in the anime. I'm sure it'll be just as great, if not greater than Madhouse's Heaven's Arena!

I wonder how they will handle the Palace Invasion Arc in the anime. Or rather, I'm kinda worried. It worked perfectly in the manga, but how will it be in the anime? Can they make it convincing?

I can say at the top of my head is there won't be as much as narration as the manga. That part had a lot of narration like an old style American comic book and I don't think it'd translate well in animated form.

It'll probably be like that TV show 24

That's what I mean. The narration was part of the charm actually. And I wonder how they'll make it believable since the speed and timing of their attacks coupled with Hakoware's counter should be difficult to animate.

 

[Uriel]

Well, this series USES already a narrator, so it wont be that difficult.

And simultaneously is easier to do in anime than manga, so it will work fine.

 

[baboysai]

are you kidding? the first few chapters of the palace invasion had almost zero speech bubbles- it was massive eyecandy that could very well translate to animation since it was perfectly timed, panel after panel.

 

[kindredxiuxiu]

I think it could get animated well, narrator or not. I think the narration during that scene is something exclusive to the manga, and I speculate that the anime will just run through it without the narration. This is pure speculation, but considering the time slot the series is in, and the viewership, it will be easier to understand the concepts if they go through it without the extensive narration. I'd be fine with or without the narration. And I think they could pull the narration off if they do decide to do it that way.

Sometimes I feel I may have too much faith in Madhouse's ability to pull of this adaptation.

And I actually can't wait for this version's Greed Island (I wasn't that impressed with the animation in the Greed Island OVAs). Sure, I'm still excited about Yorknew and everything, but I'd say I'm most excited about the Ant Arc.

 

[Noonealive]

I'm glad MH is adapting HxH, they pretty much are following the manga...From panel to presentation of the story.....Toriko is probably one of the saddest adaptations I've seen. They dumbed it down big time...So yeah i'm glad we have an anime adaptation thats actually accurate compared to the manga. Toriko's anime is not even close to how the manga had it...=[]

 

[mrsticky005]

I will cry foul if they skip Greed Island (which I seriously doubt they would).
Plus I think after Yorknew we're going to need a breather. Going straight
into the Chimera Ant arc might be TOO intense and overwhelming.
Plus it would absolutely ruin Gon's characterization skipping Greed Island.


As for the Chimera Ant arc. I hope they leave in the narration.
However it will very likely be condensed but it will have the same feeling.
As long as they keep in the really awesome narration quotes I'll be happy


One Yorknew Scene I'm looking forward to...

The Troupe running on walls.

I'm hoping that we get the Kite flashback before Greed Island arc. Like Gon is thinking that clues to Ging await inside the game and he thinks back to why he began searching for Ging to begin with, Kite. Might be wishful thinking. Madhouse seem to have their own idea for how they want to handle Kite and I'm cool with that, I just hope to see him sooner rather than later.

I'm pretty sure they're gonna have some sort of flashback scene during the GI arc. Madhouse has been presenting the material pretty good. So when Kite comes it won't be disappointing.Just have to wait and see i guess.

 

[riniloves]

doing the kite thing is the only assurance that we will get there (Chimera Ant Arc) , so I wish they made that in GI arc the chapter 01 flashback off course....

 

[futurefrog]

Well in regards to the Kite flashback there is an important part of the flashback that heavily relates to the Chimera Ants arc. Kite saves Gon from death by a creature much more powerful than him. In Chimera Ant arc, Kite dies to save Gon from a creature much more powerful than him. Interesting parrallel that I think Madhouse will want to emphasise as it's important to Gon's characterisation. He has always been weak and because of his weakness, people around him keep dying. As a kid, the Fox Bear died because of him, and now as a Hunter, Kite died because of him. It's something I think Madhouse will want to emphasise. Also the whole motto of Kite's 'All good hunters are loved by animals' heavily relates to this arc. Thoughts?

 

[TheBoss]

Changing the topic a bit, now that we know that togashi isn't involved with the movie-making, what is the prediction of the manga's return?
I know that he took longer hiatuses in the past, but its sad to have to wait so much to the story progression.
Ps: I know I shouldnt ask but I couldn't help myself xD

 

[Netero]

I'm expecting the hiatus to end in either November or December.
