| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- this episode was pure epicness.. |
| Pretty good episode this week! Sketchy events have started at the auction involving the Phantom Troupe and the Mafia. We get to see the Nen abilities of Franklin, Shizuku and Uvogin [somewhat]. |
| That episode was made of 100% Grade A pure win~ |
| Haruhi = Win! |
| lol @ feitan covering his ears. I'm starting to really dislike the text that shows up onscreen now. It's getting ridiculous imo. (wasn't a fan of it in the first place, but whatever) animation overall seemed a tad lacking for some reason too, though there were plenty of specific moments that I liked. Deme-chan/Blinky sounds adorable. So does Kuroro... since he keeps reminding me of Tamaki from Ouran. OTL (why him of all the friggin...) Uvo on the other hand... no comment. Though if I rewatch this ep like I obsessed over some other eps, I'll probably like his voice. Oh, and Huncyclopedia is getting easier and harder for me to ignore compared to the first few times I watched it... it sorta makes me wish I shipped Gon/Killua so I could fangirl over it more. anyway, kind of disappointed and I was left with a 'meh' feeling, so 3/5 |
| This episode was great. I didn't think any scenes lacked any animation. That animation that was needed IMO was enough. The different angles and panels we got were off the charts. Uvo twisting that guys head than all of a sudden we get switched the Uvo's victim's point of view. That was a great touch. Feitan slicing that guys head off was badass. He's definitely my favorite troupe member. 100/10 for shutting up the censorship advocates. Sorry can't use that excuse now for the series. Find something else to complain about plz. |
| Loved this episode! Perfect pacing once again and Madhouse didn't shy away from some blood/snapped necks. Dat decapitation aswell. Can't wait till Kurapika and the Shadow Beasts get in on the action (hopefully next week). Every episode just leaves me wanting more! Can't wait for the next episode. Also, lol @ the Hunterpedia this week. |
| I loved this episode. It was quite gory. i am really looking forward to seeing Kurapika's power. |

The question is how much they will censor if they go into the Ant Arc. |
| lol the censorship is not bad on this episode, damn Baise is dead she was hot |
| this ep was fantastic everyway!^^ and made me more excited for ant arc 10/10 and the blood scenes were very good 18.31--->19.00 lol xD |
 |
| Sea of blood... in HD Madhouse finally deciding to show more gore. Not that I really care much about blood, but now I know that there will be no holding back on action scenes, which is always a plus. Having watched '99 makes me anticipate ******** vs ****** even more, so these eps don't strike me as much as the first-time watchers, but oh well :P ...and Killua kissed Gon. Yuck |

From the looks of it it might be a lot better than i initially thought. |
| Holy shit they didn't hold back witht he gore. I liked the Feitan filler Animation was OK. There were two snipers not one, why did they remove that? And what's up with Uvo's stupid face while making a retarded sound lol I liked how he squeezed the guy's head just like that 5/5 |
| End Zionazism |
| Epic episode , but Madhouse change this shitty OP. |
 |
| I see good things in the future of Hunter x Hunter. The suppressed sensorship somewhat came as a surprise especially when Uvo slapped that guy causing his head to bend and then squeezing his whole head. That was epic. Pacing is somewhat going faster than I thought but the older HxH probably had way more filler. |
     "There is someone that I must meet again. And until that day... not even Death himself can take my life away!" |
| Whoa look.. Blood ! So satisfied with the actual existence of blood gushing out. Thought they were not going to show any of it. Blood really does increase tension, without blood, it doesn't feel as dark. XD This episode is just pure awesomeness More action next week Can't wait to see |
 |
| People who create Hunterpedia shorts have some twisted sense of humor. I'm not even talking about shota-fanservice. But 'introducing' a character right after she bites the dust? I feel bad for laughing. |
| sea of blood but many scenes got censored in a smart way the pace felt too fast... shadows are already here??? wow... but i think their entrance (not arrival, but preparation) didn't feel as epic as it was on 99 version, maybe fillers helped carry it better. Dunno 5/5 |

| ^_~ |
| The previous episode was pretty nice, but this one was so boring I almost fell asleep while watching it. This whole show is ridiculously hit-and-miss. |
| I felt the tempo was a bit high, therefore the buildup for the fight was poor and I liked some minor details better in the old version. However excluding these small things the episode was excellent. Looking forward to next episode. |
 |
| Check out that gore! excellent action in this episode. Looks like the next episode is the one I have been really waiting for, Kurapika facing the bitter truth! |
| I was Expecting some censorship , Glad they didn't :D We are all were waiting for more blood and less censorship :) Loved Feitan Filler :) 5\5 for this week's :) |
| This episode was awesome. Especially those mafia guys getting their ass kicked. |
 |
| was I the only one who didn't appreciate the Feitan filler? xD j0x said: lol the censorship is not bad on this episode, damn Baise is dead she was hot you can always switch to necrophilia :P and a question for anyone who can answer, what are the delays (more specifically, the one for ep 45) for? |

| This episode was epic. Damn I don't think I can wait another week. I might just watch the 1999 version of Hunter x Hunter. |

huntx said: ) didn't feel as epic as it was on 99 version, maybe fillers helped carry it better. Exactly, the director was clever on that one. He had good realization that two different mediums are not the same thing and put his hand on the right places so he can built tension and put the feeling of the manga on the anime or even improve it. I don't expect though that all the manga religious fanatics to get it since they think that an anime should be showing panel to panel with the manga and they see every difference as defect even if it isn't. |
 The Hunterpedia's are still one of the best highlights of it, killua kissed gon, nice. Well I thought the Phantom Troupe would be pushovers with how Shizuka lost against Gon in arm wrestling last week, but this episode, kind makes me change my mind about it. Truly nen can make even those weak in physical power strong indeed. I thought much of the episode was spectacular, really surprised with how fast things too off and got intense. I havent anticipated episodes of a shonen anime like this, since watching Bleach, its a great replacement indeed, even if its way more bloodier (pools of blood in hd and a bit gorey snapped necks, smashed bloody heads) |

So just adding fillers makes it more epic? 1) MH isn't really doing panel for panel as we see with the last 5 week's fillers, they built up those characters just to kill them. Also the only fillder that was added in the 1999 in THIS episode is the "bullshit" card game, Idk what it's called but we call it bullshit :P |

I didn't feel like this when i saw the 1999. I had more feelings rising from the way Madhouse handled compared to the 1999.I liked the fact that MH is more faithful. The violence and blood added something more in this versions. The 1999 didn't have much of any of that. Just Dark pallets with a vague understanding of what went on. Madhouse didn't shy from what the massacre intended. So yeah I like more faithful story than pointless filler. HxH has 340 chapters, theres no hurry for a character to develop IMO. |
| Wow loved how they showed a "red sea" then Uvo and Chrollo start talking about the Bible : O. The auction massacre was amazing as with Uvo going beast mode on the Mafia's ass. Could notice the shortcuts with the still shots but I'm assuming they're saving up the budget to blow it up on either Kurapika vs ****** or Chrollo vs 2 opponents but I think it's going to be the former tbh.(Edited due to spoilers) Other Thoughts Shadow Beasts intro was a little on the grand side especially with the power walk outro we'll see if they deserved it next ep :P Was glad to see what Madhouse could get away with regarding gore. Though it was toned down compared to the manga it still was pretty brutal. Had chills when Baise got pwned with the soundtrack |

Yeah, Dark, blurry and going so fast you can barely understand what's going on really gave that epic feel  And Madhouse has been doing too much panel for panel shots, no tension   |

| ^ oh, I love that vacuum cleaner. ♥ |
| ^ Kinda sad it isn't red though... :( |
| End Zionazism |
| That episode was sick. I was taken by complete surprise of how violent this was. I expected the usual Shounen stuff, but some of this compare to F/Z and FMA: BH gore scenes, which is like R17+ It's some years since I've watched the original anime, but was it this awesome and violent? 5/5 |
 |
| Yeah it's pretty awesome. You'll notice the differences though. I can certainly say 2011 has more scenes with blood in it. This episode was better executed then the 1999 IMO. |
Mikasa said: ^ Kinda sad it isn't red though... :( I think the new color is refreshing, though in general, I like red more. |
| WOW! if i dare say that was better than the manga AND the 1999 version! |
 |
| Aweeesome! I have a feeling the shadow beasts won't win though :( At least it'll give Kurapika a chance to shine though with his anger at the Phantom Troupe! (can't wait until he finds out <3) Uwaa~ the neck-snapping made me cringe though >.< *shudder* |
| GAAH I WANT THE NEXT EPISODE HERE!!! Such a bloody episode, this is a level of DBZ already AND IT'S AWESOME!! |
 |
| Yeah! HxH always manage to bring up the excitement with its strategy. Also, Dememe-chan is cute :3 |
| There is like 2 weeks delay in my recent reading list I randomly bought discount/second hand manga with cute/mysterious cover.  Use Personal Blacklist extension in Chrome if you just want to Google for a series synopsis, without google slapping MAL score in it. 3/1 |
