| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah the chemistry between Biscuit and the two boys is so great. I definitely would have liked to see her train Wing during a flashback. She's stern when it comes to being a teacher but definitely has those lol moments. When she slapped Killua to seperate herself from the boys, I was on the floor and the awkward silence after didn't help with comedy X D The awesome animation left aside, I actually enjoyed the training with Binolt a lot. Even though he's a killer who has murdered people because of his childhood in the slums, Gon doesn't resent him for it and actually thanks him for making Gon and Killua stronger. Because of Gon's lookout on people in life, it actually made him turn himself in to the authorities once Gon/Killua's training was finished which is surprising! This ties a lot to what Zepile said during the Yorknew arc of how Gon doesn't care whether if something is good or bad as long as it piques his interest. I usually don't like training arcs Greed Island is one of the few exceptions where it's a fun ride. |

| Chapters covered: The Killua and Bisky moments at the beginning were pretty good. I preferred the animation of the original over this one but it was still enjoyable. Gon and Killua are slowly becoming stronger in the basics of nen. |

| Another great episode! I couldn't help but think of my Minecrafting days where I would sometimes dig a direct path/tunnel to where ever my destination was xD Binolt's flashback was quite touching and I love how carefree Gon is but scared to see what troubles that may cause in the future :O |
 |
| A bit surprising at how many chapters are getting crammed into these episodes. I kinda don't mind since this is primarily a traing arc, especially at this point, but I hope they steady the pace down before this ends up being only about 15 episodes for this arc. Even though this is primarily a training arc, this is still one of my favorite arcs in the series so I'd love to see them take some more time on some of the material in future episodes. I liked the scenes here with Killua and Gon fighting Binolt. That was a fun part in the original OVA and still was here. The attacks and doding and just the whole flow of the fight felt a lot better here imo. The animation was a lot better here for this fight as well imo. Overall, pretty solid episode, especially with the action involved in the Binolt fight and all of the stuff at the beginning with Biske introducing herself and everything. I hope at some point they slow down a bit, I mean they are still covering almost all of the important stuff, but it wouldn't hurt to not animate 20 chapters worth in only 5 episodes heh. |
| Fun episode as always! |
| wow this is cool |
| The pacing on the episode was still fast, but not underwhelming like the last one. In another wods: Excellent episode. |

| Didn't think he would actually be able to cut Biscuit's hair, well w/e the case great episode, awesome how Biscuit flat out owned him with barely any effort. |
 |
| Awesome episode as always. Gon and Killua are becoming stronger with each episode and I love it! This is how training arc should be done. |
 |
| Pretty nice episode, we saw ging again :D |
Ajunky said: I've been wondering for a while now... Please don't flame me and sorry if I missed the explanation, but why is someone like Binolt a criminal while those from the Zoldyck family aren't? Is there a license to kill or assassination rules or something that makes it different? who said they aren't? |

| Good episode as usual, I love the sound track. The fight with Binlot(?) was enjoyable, the best part of the episode was the part where Gon was eating and showed he can't keep the rocks from falling on his head. |

| Pacing was too fast but Madhouse lived to its expectations. Animation was indeed clear and smooth, the fight scenes were definitely well done, just that the tension decreased a lot as compared to the Manga. It was still a very enjoyable episode, despite some flaws. |
 |
| Cuticle Detective made an appearance this week, huh. I don't mind Madhouse speeding through this part of the manga. HxH has never been about training arcs that takes 20 or more episodes anyway. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| The process was sped up as well. Can't wait for next ep. |

| As many have said, better than the last one. Pacing is a bit fast for my liking, I enjoy slow pace more in the anime I watch (think for example Spice and Wolf), but it wasn't too bad in this episode. I miss many scenes from the other anime, but I guess if I recall correctly most of them were fillers anyway. |
 |
| Another good episode. |
 |
| I'm guessing that this is going to go fairly similar to the Hunter Exam arc where it will feel really fast for the first portion but will eventually slow down and find its way. At least that's what I'm hoping... |
| Great episode, training episodes aren't usually this good. I'm glad they didn't drag it on. 5/5 |
 |
| Woooow, too fast o.O the first episode of the remake that i didn't like. Much better in the OVAs and the manga. |

| Great episode as always. This ED always manages to put a smile on my face. People complain about the fast pace compared to the original, but as someone who hasn't seen the original OVA or read the manga, I think it's fine. |

| Another 5/5 episode. Loved the fighting in this episode. Killua is so coooool:D |
 |
| it was a good episode but Ughh i want to Hurt the person that is making the show go sooo Fast lol :) |
 |
| Really good episode, i loved gons face when killua got slapped, its funny every time xD Really like this so far, i have extremely high expectations for this show, perhaps too high. I dont want to read ahead with this though for some reason, I happily read ahead with one piece but reading this just doesn't feel the same for some reason. |
| Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead? |

Yea, I actually suggest you don't read ahead since you'll just feel really offended with the Anime producers breezing through some scenes which you want to see in motion with greater or at least equal tension as the Manga. They make it seem like this is a joke with the extreme pacing. Maybe just watching the Anime for now will do more good. |
