I do not agree. Her decision leaves Pakunoda in something of a dilemma. And the last 5 minutes describe this feelings.

I liked the dilemma but what annoys me is that the badguys kill all the time but the good guys cant even kill one of them... what annoys me even more is that if they manage to kill someone else of the spiders its probably gonna be the samurai or a "semi goodguy" kind of bad guy (like the first one they killed)... oh hisoka will probably die aswell because he is semi goodguy badguy... but the real coldhearted bitches (the 3 females) will probably live

they were doing so good with the episode, but than they forgot they still had 10 minutes of airtime left, so they put it into filler mode.

The first half was really good, the suspense was killing me but they ruined it a little with the last 5 or so minutes :/

And that bugs me the most, cause he's, like, the most inhuman monster out there out of all of them... but he's also the cutest... damn, what a dilemma.

Also, that Pakunoda woman is totally in love with him. Which is understandable, given his looks, sharp mind and charisma, but doesn't change the fact they're both complete degenerates.
And as far as I get, she's not the only one in love with him.

I actually thought the last half was interesting, though I agree that the part where it was just images and music went on a little too long. Overall though, it had a pretty cool surreal vibe to it that really captured the feeling of indecision quite well.

Oh well, seems like I was the only one that kinda liked that dilemma scene. Perhaps it's just the music? I don't know. But no, I don't get the same feels I get here from the 2011 version at all.
I think I'm leaning to like this one more.

Oh, and Kurapika's receptionist cosplay is cuter here, with the lipstick and stuff haha.

Damn a bit of a shame that plan failed, but in general I do wonder what they'll do to escape!

I always expected Killua to be stronger to be honest :/

The last 5 minute was too... Still. However, the rest of the episode (before the last 5 min) is amazing. I can feel the suspense

Kurapika's disguise is perfect. No one will suspect he's a guy!

Kinda good with the Kurapika capturing Lucifer. But the last 5 minutes were kinda dragging, even if they represent the dilemma. It wasn't pursued in serious manner and was like Pakunoda deciding whether to take the stairs or the elevator. Atleast we see Lucifer when he was young.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

LOL that's me very undecided person! the flashback shows the spider members being in their 14 year olds aprox-

The contemplation of Paku about what to do next was way worst in the manga, like... i couldn't read it all and concentrate in was about.... ugh i had to fast read it.

The blackout was both intense and awesome—Killua in particular made it awesome! An interesting dilemma on her part, but regardless, the ending was slightly too dragged out...

Ugh, I could’ve done without all the internal dialogue. The “blonde woman talking to herself” scene was fine at first, but the lengthiness of it eventually got on my nerves. Probably the laziest part of the entire series thus far in regards to animation.

10:15 to 20:25 was pretty much just BS.
Most uneventful thing to come out of HxH 1999.
And none of the characters really even moved from that one spot in the lobby throughout the entirety of the episode… geez.

The episode was a bit slow, especially in the scene where Pakunoda is thinking a decision, just a bit longer that I would like it. The scene where the kids escape was great, it’s a shame that Gon couldn’t be able to get rid of the threads. Machi is too strong.

I'm surprised how many people found Pakunoda's internal dialogue boring; I thought it was a great way of showing how conflicted she was on whether to save Chrollo or sacrifice him for the group as a whole.
