I didn't notice that Hisoka had green hairs originally in Yorkshin arc O_O
Hope in anime his hair color will remain red...

Me top five eh? well lesse her....*rubs chin repeadly*

5. Episode 5: I was sort of tied between this and 4 at first as I loved the group interactivity, but this one has hisoka as well as one of my favorite parts of the hunters exam. Everything here was enjoyable and nearly perfect. maybe a tad increase on the violence but its still pretty damn good.
4. Episdoe 7: Gon and Killua's game against netero is simply VERY enjoyable to watch, espisally how gon manages to get a side goal accomplished in the end. Killua's temper tantrum was nicely done too

3. Episode 34: Of course, more Gon and Killua fun comes to the screen as they finish off the squad of bozos. I just love Gon's matches espcially the one with the whip guy cause it was hilarious. Killua's was just awesome AND hilarious at the end. Needless to say the hinting of Gon and Hisoka's fight ALSO is a high momment, and Futurefrog I'm super jelly of your sig

2. Episode 32: Hisoka's in it, we get to see the fight animated, dance of death... I really shouldn't have to explain, you guys are smart

1. Episode 16: Phasing back to the "acctual" exam, this episode brought out the most tense vibes I ever had out of watching something in a while. needless to say it was gon's momment and he shined...only to get shot down. Literally.

*Click the little guy!*

If I wanted any episodes to be redone I can only think of two: The seocnd exam and The gate training ep. For the gate ep, I just want lerio to have his momment of awesomeness by opening the door. As for the second exam I only want kurapika's "WTF" Face like in the manga. That shit was hilarious and they didn't have it!

My favorite episodes would be:

5. Episode 32: the end of Hisoka vs Kastro was good, but what I liked the most was the explanation of the fight, and Machi's hability.

4. Episode 20: Killua revealing his true feelings is one of the few emotional moments in the series, and it was beatifully done by Madhouse.

3. Episode 34: Awesome fights! If you're a manga reader, it really leaves you waiting to see the upcoming fights animated.

2. Episode 24: I always loved the conversation between Silva and Killua in the manga, and the anime did it great. Also I liked the filler about Canary.

1. Episode 16: the final scene, when Hisoka gives his badge to Gon and punches him, was maybe the best scene in the anime until know so far.

 

[Diivil]

I'm i the only one who links the Heart scene in the Anime, to Killua catching Rievelt while still holding into the Electric whips?

It sorta Like giving them fake hope/ what they wanted then just crushing that hope right in front of them.

 

[mrsticky005]

I never did say what episode I like to be redone (I had to leave for work)

Well anywho...I say episode 5. It's just not the same without Hisoka butchering all those applicants.
Yes he DOES kill them. But it's not the same brutal, maniacal and morbid effect as the manga.

With the 2011, I saw Hisoka's killing to have focused on the finesse of Hisoka's skill. In a way it felt like Hisoka was putting on a show. It was cold blooded
But due to censorship it wasn't very bloody and so except for Cherry it didn't really feel like those applicants were killed but that they just ended.


With the 1999, Hisoka was hysterical, murderous and having fun. But with the lack of blood, still animation and lines used just made it hard to take seriously.
Yes, it is very much dark comedy in the manga. But at the same time it's horrific. Try as the 2011 or 1999 might. It's just not the same when censored.

But that being said I appreciate the effort from both versions.
The manga will always be my favorite. But I think this way we see 3 different sides of Hisoka.

Is it just me or is picking only 5 kinda difficult?
Well I didn't want to make it easy anyways.

 

[TheAmericandream]

I'm very open to green hair hisoka in Yorknew, but I don't see them doing it since his hair is red on the Heaven's Arena Yorknew poster, idk. I'd be an interesting way to change things up to me anyway. Hisoka is constantly changing costumes and when the 1999 anime did it (with its weird blue hair the first arc) it was really cool to see the change to red. That being said the colors on the Genei Ryodan volume of HxH is weird to me. They made the Spiders look good with those colors so far in the new anime OP. But honestly I've always felt green hair hisoka, pink hair machi and pink outfit shalnark were a bit strange choices.

 

[Cinnabar]

I don't know why, but I always thought Machi was blonde. Then again, I never bothered with the color choices of the other characters when I marathon-ed the manga, so I tend to associate people with light hair shading to have pale or light hair colors. I think pink looks cute on her, though.

Huh, I never noticed Shalnark's clothes before. His outfit is pink? Tthat is strange. I hope they don't mess with his always smiling poker face. Now I can't wait 'til they get to Pariston. Haha.

 

[Crude]

Oh, and Kikyo (Killua's mother). She deserves special mention because I like how Madhouse does her and how her VA voices her. Seriously. Just. Her. Her frantic, fussy, motherly-in-a-crazy-way self.

Agreed. Kykyo's VA did a tremendous job voicing her. I loved how crazy she sounded at times, makes me wish she'd have a larger role!

My Top 5 Episodes

5) Episode 5 : Hisoka's sexy killing time and his interest on Leorio's body and Gon's "ripeness". :P
I just learned couple of weeks back that Hisoka tends to use double entendre when speaking / fighting so I appreciated it when Madhouse, from the get go, highlight this side of Hisoka and made me interested in him. I'm not really as "into him" as much as the HxH fandom was so it was a surprise for me.

4) Episode 7 : Netero ball game. First, Killua admitted that he is an professional assassin in a nonchalant way. Then we get the fun ball game with Netero that gives Gon's signature dash and Killua's assassination skill. The sinker is Killua killing two people afterwards that drives the point that yes, he IS an assassin that actually kills people and therefore dangerous. Nope, these are not people who are using a term for cool factor and not doing things they coined themselves as.

3) Episode 16 : Hisoka punching Gon. Pretty much what everyone said who picked this episode goes here :P

2) Episode 11 : The heart scene. They made Killua as creepy as Hisoka. Jives well since Killua (though not included in the new anime) said that he and Hisoka are similar.

1) Episode 34 : Showcases Gon-Killua's a) genius as a nen user / potential b) difference in their fighting styles c) difference in how they defeat their opponents in a "fun" way.


Episode I like to be redone if possible is the gate scene because I'm a Leorio fan. :P

Oh, and Kikyo (Killua's mother). She deserves special mention because I like how Madhouse does her and how her VA voices her. Seriously. Just. Her. Her frantic, fussy, motherly-in-a-crazy-way self.

I like Kikyo too! Her voice is perfect for a "social climber" woman.

Spoiler: Phantom Troupe

 

[Crude]

Everyone looks great, Feitan especially (he's such a badass ). Phinks and Shalnark look a little odd though, but maybe that's just because I'm not used to seeing them in those colours (Phinks especially looks weird as a blonde to me).

 

[bobop]

Spoiler: Phantom Troupe

Thanks for sharing.
They all looks really great. Only Shalnark is a bit odd. I'm sceptic about the color choice.
Happy to see Hisoka with new outfit.
Also, is there any news about a new opening ?
And what does the text with the date 07/22 says? Don't tell me we'll have a recap on 07/15.

 

[Demonspeed]

Feitan is the best ryodan!

 

[ZonikStrike]

Thanks God, Hisokas hair aren't green...
GR looks GR8 =D

 

[Salce]

New clothes for Hisoka
I'm loving all the color choices and design.

But I wonder why the design of Dalzorne isn't there too, with Kurapika's team.

Light Nostrade and Neon Nostrade are missing as well.
Along with Eliza and Ivanlenkov.

Though I'm sure they will still be in the anime.

Spoiler: Phantom Troupe

The Phantom Troupe debut date is now 7/22, instead of 7/15 as the press conference release said. Why the delayed? Recap?

I like the color choices, even Shalnark...I like that pale look. Though I have to say there are quite a lot of magenta going on (even the peeps on Kurapika's side)

The blonde Phinx looks great. I found the 1999 version's Shalnark, Phinks, Nobunaga, Paku and Franklin too generic looking, their new colors made them more iconic.

 

[Demonspeed]

The Phantom Troupe debut date is now 7/22, instead of 7/15 as the press conference release said. Why the delayed? Recap?

7/15 is the start of York Shin arc(with Kurapika in the mansion).

 

[ZonikStrike]

If Kurapica mansion would be on 7/15, 7/22 is too early for GR debut. They only appear in chapter 71 for the first time while mansion is 67-68. I don't think they'd rush that much while going 35 pages per episode till now. Apparently they will have a recap episode on 7/15 with Yorkshin starting 7/22.

 

[bobop]

I hope it will be more like 3 episodes in Whale Island with fillers about Kite. I don't want another recap.
Since last recap, the show's ratings never exceed 4%. It got his lowest ratings (2.7 %) just after, and it hasn't been in the Top 10 anymore.

I just don't want another recap. Recap are bad.
