Anime Hunter X Hunter New Anime Discussion

[Crude]

One thing I find a little off with Chrollo's new design is his boots. Maybe it's just the way he's standing in that character design sheet, but I just don't like how everything below his knees looks.

 

[SHINOBI-03]

Some weird color patterns aside, the rest are OK, most of them are even better than I expected, although I don't quite get blue bandages and lilac skin for Bonolenov.

Believe it or not, that's his skin color in the cover as well. Even I didn't notice it before seeing his design. The same goes to Shalnark's cloths and hair color.

To the followers of my weekly comparisons, please answer the following:

• Are you satisfied with the current format I use?
• Would you like comparing the two anime versions with the manga as two separate comparisons (Comparing one version to the manga) like my current format or a three-way comparison in one post (Like what I did with episode 31)?
• When using a panel from the manga, would you prefer the translation of Viz's releases or the Edited Mangas or leave them without translations?
• Are my screencaps the right size or they need to be bigger or smaller?
• Do you prefer an in-depth analysis of the filler scenes or ignore them because they are filler and should focus on manga content?
• When comparing the old anime, do prefer to make it relevant to what's in the new version and that includes skipping scenes that are shown yet in the new one (For example in episodes 37 and 38 I skipped all of Kurapika's scenes because they weren't shown yet in the new anime)?

 

[Cinnabar]

Are you satisfied with the current format I use?

Yes. I have no complaints. I appreciate reading your comparisons in any format.

Would you like comparing the two anime versions with the manga as two separate comparisons (Comparing one version to the manga) like my current format or a three-way comparison in one post (Like what I did with episode 31)?

I prefer the three-way comparisons because it really emphasizes the difference amongst the three (2011, 1999, and manga). Two separate comparisons were okay for the last arc because they changed the chronology events. But I think three-way will work better for the Yorkshin arc. Haven't watched the '99 adaptation of it, but it seems solid and was pretty much regarded as a masterpiece. That's where Nippon really pulled out the big guns and gained the show popularity. In contrast, I see Yorkshin as something Madhouse needs to do well. It's where Madhouse will basically prove themselves since a lot of fans fell in love with HxH through Yorkshin.

Just as well, the arc in manga format was excellent in my opinion. I heard Kurapika was different in the '99 anime compared to the manga. I want to see the contrast amongst the three: cold Kurapika in the manga, allegedly 'emo' Kurapika in the '99, and let's-see-how-Madhouse-will-do-this Kurapika in the remake. And the endings too.

But I don't mind if you do separate comparisons. Whatever is easier for you.

When using a panel from the manga, would you prefer the translation of Viz's releases or the Edited Mangas or leave them without translations?

Any. I'm not picky. Whatever you think is better.

Are my screencaps the right size or they need to be bigger or smaller?

They're alright for me. As long as it's not too big that I have to scroll down longer than I should. But again, not picky.

Do you prefer an in-depth analysis of the filler scenes or ignore them because they are filler and should focus on manga content?

Hrm... can there be some middle ground to this? I actually want to know about the filler scenes just so I know what changes and additions both animes made/will make to the story. I guess I don't mind ignoring them, and I don't want a super detailed analysis either. But if there's something of importance to the fillers (will lead to changing future events, changes in characterization, made Kurapika or some other character OOC, etc...), I'd like a small heads up at least.

When comparing the old anime, do prefer to make it relevant to what's in the new version and that includes skipping scenes that are shown yet in the new one (For example in episodes 37 and 38 I skipped all of Kurapika's scenes because they weren't shown yet in the new anime)?

I want it to be relevant to the remake unless something important happened to the skipped episodes that needs to be mentioned.


I hope that helps.

To the followers of my weekly comparisons, please answer the following:

• Are you satisfied with the current format I use? Yes it seems well and good. Though if others want change I'm not opposed to it
• Would you like comparing the two anime versions with the manga as two separate comparisons (Comparing one version to the manga) like my current format or a three-way comparison in one post (Like what I did with episode 31)?
  
  I think both vs the manga is good because that's what it is supposed to be.
  
• When using a panel from the manga, would you prefer the translation of Viz's releases or the Edited Mangas or leave them without translations?
  
  For simplicity sake use Viz. They have easier to understand translations but if you feel like it's important to get something more literal use something else .
  
• Are my screencaps the right size or they need to be bigger or smaller?
  
  Should be right size
  
• Do you prefer an in-depth analysis of the filler scenes or ignore them because they are filler and should focus on manga content?
  
  I love in-depth analysis on anything Hunter x Hunter.
  
• When comparing the old anime, do prefer to make it relevant to what's in the new version and that includes skipping scenes that are shown yet in the new one (For example in episodes 37 and 38 I skipped all of Kurapika's scenes because they weren't shown yet in the new anime)?
  
  Yes I think this is good. I like to know what we're missing or what was changed or what went where.

seriously thanks for doing the comparisions

to be honest for all the crap I'm giving Chrollo on his design I'm probably gonna end being his number one fan by the end of episode 41. :P

It's the anticipation that's killing me. XD

What I would say in response would just echo Cinnabar's answers. You're doing a great job. Keep up the good work! I enjoy reading them every week.

One thing though...as far as the manga scans, I'd prefer any translation in English versus Japanese so I could read the translated manga dialogue as well. Whether it's a Edited Manga or Viz's translation doesn't matter to me.

^Sounds even more epic than the TV version, thanks for the link

@SHINOBI-03: I love reading your comparisons, everytime I finish an episode I search for one of your comparisons
I also prefer the three-way comparisons because you have everything at one spot and it's easier to compare. I also really like the format and the size you use. In my opinion, you don't have to make an in-depth-analysis of filler scenes, because i'm not really interested in them.

Spoiler

Is anyone else wondering how Madhouse will handle Uvogin vs. Shadow Beasts? I'm really looking forward to this episode

 

[kindredxiuxiu]

Same here. Madhouse will probably censor some of it, but I hope they at least maintain the same feel and integrity that the manga had for the fight.

I've been waiting for the release of Hunting for your Dream. Shame I have to wait until work's over to listen to it.

 

[MrShubblez]

As long as they show the fight, and the atmosphere resembles the original, I'm satisfied.
I am also looking forward to

Spoiler

Chrollo vs Silva and Zeno, because:

- It's my favourite battle/scene of the old version's Yorkshin arc
- I want to see how Madhouse presents the techniques they use
- This epic shot of Chrollo:

I'm going in with the idea of having no idea how Madhouse will do violence wise for anything to come

 

[MegamanX195]

Be mindful of the spoilers. There are some people in here that never read/seen HxH prior to the 2011 series. I'm not one of them, just saying.

Yes.

The actual, fractioned form.

[*]When using a panel from the manga, would you prefer the translation of Viz's releases or the Edited Mangas or leave them without translations?

The easier for you =]

[*]Are my screencaps the right size or they need to be bigger or smaller?

They are fine as they are. Has anyone complained before? o.õ?

[*]Do you prefer an in-depth analysis of the filler scenes or ignore them because they are filler and should focus on manga content?

Your call. I enjoy your comments and observations on the fillers, though I don't pay to much attention to them myself when watching them.

[*]When comparing the old anime, do prefer to make it relevant to what's in the new version and that includes skipping scenes that are shown yet in the new one (For example in episodes 37 and 38 I skipped all of Kurapika's scenes because they weren't shown yet in the new anime)?

This is certainly better for a understandment of the animes when compared to the manga.

Also, thanks for making the comparisons! It's one of the things that keep me coming here since the manga entered in hiatus ^^

 

[Cinnabar]

Me too. Though I think we'll have at least a little taste of what they'll do in the next episode.

Which is exactly what I am waiting for.

The butlers death is pretty brutal in the manga.

Remember that the Nippon version did NOT show the butler's death.


How Madhouse treats the scene will give us a good idea of how the arc will be. I think.

Since some of the earlier post have cover what I want to say.There isn't really a need for me to give a reply. I'm okay with the current format you're using.
I'm just grateful that there is someone who is writing a review comparing both version of the anime.
So,thanks for taking your time to write it.

Where are the "Pharaoh clothes" of Phinks ?
Just because, he wear it only 1 time, Madhouse is being lazy about it.
Seriously, the laziness about clothes is one of the few things i dislike in Madhouse version.
