Nobuhiko Okamoto would be good too.

I wonder if they are using the blood on a different layer just in case of censorship?

It would be nice if some of the censored episodes before they had a layer of blood removed for tv and then added back to the dvds.

Madhouse has been using a lot of interesting animation techniques when it comes to HxH. I don't know how good your vision is, but the layers are really well done--far better than I'm used to seeing in animation. Their frequent use of background blur creates a greater sense of distance. Some shots even look 3D because the blur is so perfected:

Anyways, fantastic episode, as always. It seems that the stronger a practitioner of Nen is, their Ren gains color. Gon and Killua and Kastro and Zushi are all inexperienced, hence the white Ren. As one gets stronger, color will likely be added as it was for Riehlvelt. I never realized that Riehlvelt was the dominant member of the group until now, lol.

I thought Riehvelt was using Hatsu while boosting, no?

Oh, c'mon! It's just one week. Why does everyone take slight delays like this too seriously? It's not like they're canceling the show or anything! It's just one week. Take it as a chance to do other things instead.

man, I'm addicted to HXH! I can't stand a week without it!! ......nah, I'm just joking.
but man, waiting two weeks for Hisoka vs. Gon is just so hard. it's the fight I was waiting for since I watched the Opening in October 2nd!!

He was, but Hatsu is contingent on Ren. Basically, strong Ren should look like Hatsu all of the time.

Don't think so. Ren is just a strong release of aura, just for charging up before 'special attacks' - Hatsu. It doesn't need to have a color as it doesn't differ from person to person; Hatsu on the other hand is unique for every person so it has to be colored differently.

I hope we get a double episode for the Gon vs Hisoka fight.

Isn't Water Divination the proof that Ren = Hatsu? Whenever someone exerts s strong Ren in the manga, it always seems like they're surrounded in a bright light (and the same thing happened with Hisoka on Zevil Island). Though I guess Togashi's shrouds could have been intended to look like steam.

I suppose that adding color only to aura when Hatsu is being used would be good for tension. It'll make Gon's ability reveal that much sweeter.

 

[Diivil]

Can Someone Post A Gif Of Riehvelt Using Aura Burst during his fight with gon?

No, it doesn't. Ren is just a chargeup before Hatsu as I've just said. And while the technique itself is the same for everyone, the aura differs; it already has all of Hatsu properties, but you can't use them. Water test helps to develop which of properties you're mostly inclined to, but you doesn't have to use that ability, just show the overall projection of the aura.

Ah. Now I see my mistake. I was under the impression that Ko = focusing Ren instead of being a combination of the four major principles.

However, what about the Ren belonging to the Chimera Ants? Togashi makes it a point to color their aura black.

Hello, new to this forum.

Welcome! To any question I'm the mod of this section. Don't hesitate to PM me whenever you find necessary.

Anyways, fantastic episode, as always. It seems that the stronger a practitioner of Nen is, their Ren gains color. Gon and Killua and Kastro and Zushi are all inexperienced, hence the white Ren. As one gets stronger, color will likely be added as it was for Riehlvelt. I never realized that Riehlvelt was the dominant member of the group until now, lol.

Actually I've my doubts about it. Color seems to be added to special techniques only. Namely, when using Hatsu.
If you notice, Gido tops have a yellow aura around them as well.

Because it's not human, probably. And I think He only used that with En, not Ren.

Color in aura seems so far to obey the law of "under Hatsu" effects as something different than the regular techniques. That will help later with Gon, since His technique is basically simple stuff.

 

[ZonikStrike]

I think that was just for dramatic effect. Remember Killua vs Illumi, for example; or that mentioned Hisoka's hunt. It is not Ren colored but background as I see it.
Or maybe Togashi wanted every person to have his own aura color not depending on what technique he uses. And making Ten, Ren and Zetsu same for everyone was what Madhouse thought of.
Imo Ren is simply too basic to differ it in battles by coloring (not that they use it so often anyway). Hatsu is the only unique ability.

 

[Uriel]

This was the best image of this episode, I love distorted faces.

And well...Gift-a-thon:

Killua being awesome:

The one I posted last week:

And more about Gon

 

[ZonikStrike]

And I think He only used that with En, not Ren.

Yeah, but En is still not very unique to color it I think.

That will help later with Gon, since His technique is basically simple stuff.

I think they'll still color it as he actually uses Hatsu.

 

[Uriel]

Yeah, but En is still not very unique to color it I think.
I think they'll still color it as he actually uses Hatsu.

I think that as well, but his Hatsu is basically using the same basic techniques under Enhancement. Get my point? I'm saying that they are doing this to differentiate the special techniques of the basic techniques.

Which will be awesome, since it causes many confusions at first.

Ah, then yeah, I agree ) It will be much more clear that way indeed.

Wandering off the point but just remembered another one moment in GI that seemed unclear from the beginning to me... When they lost their Sword of Truth, it wasn't obvious that they did. I hope Madhouse includes the part where they lose it as they do include the parts with Sadaso and Gido forfeiting their fights and that seems more obvious than in the manga.

 

[Salce]

This one is awesome.

Even when Madhouse's anime doesn't have top notch animation, the camera angles and direction make action scenes look great.

 

[BlackListHunter]

Epic Killua is epic. Telling guido(no legs) and Riehvelt (paralyzed legs) that he will hunt them down when they are taking a dump.

 

[Crude]

Best thing about this episode: Gido and Riehvelt's screams, as well as the latter's hilarious expressions. This episode really delivered when it came to well animated fights. Gon and Killua were once again badass! Riehvelt's electricuting Killua made me wonder if that's what Kanmuru will look like. The electricity looked pretty damn good, just maybe make the dark blue border lines a lighter colour.

Even though we only saw a snippet of Gon vs Hisoka, from what we could see it looks like it will be a godly fight. This is one of my most anticipated moments in the series, and hearing that there's no episode next week is making me crazy. Watching Hunter x Hunter is one of the best things about my Sundays xD
