Wow, I can't believe we're here.
Watching this remake was nothing short of amazing. Seeing as it's been ages since I finished the old HXH, there was lots of stuff I hadn't remembered quite well, so I was happy.
Knowing Ging, I'm certain that that's not really him, and that it's just another of his attempts to troll.

Finally Greed Island is over moving on to what's supposed to be a great arc. I'm excited.

Battera could have used it because he had a patient already.
Oh true. But maybe it wont turn into an object if it is kept in that 3 card case they were given.

Fuck, I laughed so hard when Gon screamed "NIGG!"

Gon x Bisquit CON-FUCKING-FIRMED.

It looks like Chimera Ant Arc will start by Gon beating the fuck out of Ging, and my insect phobia started going off the CHARTS at the preview.

Different theme, but I honestly enjoy Chimera Ant arc a tad bit more than Yorkshin arc. Both are still comparably good.

Could someone please tell me, how "dark" is the Chimera Ant Ac really? Is it at a similar level to something like Blood+, Gantz or is there more serious gore and violence? I.e. reasonably palatable graphic violence or is it borderline abhorrent? I just don't know what to expect and would rather not be underwhelmed if it's - you know - actually fine as opposed to completely full on, which is the impression I get from some people. Thanks


Dark as in gore and themes and atmosphere: there's a serious level of hopelessness, cruelty and insanity in the beginning of the arc...that freak out most of the readers at that time. The anime probably won't be able to capture that sense...because...well Togashi is just a master at this. I won't expect any director to come close to how he portrayed the cruelty.

Once the arc settled in (as in our Heroes regrouped and form a plan) it's gotten less dark. There's hope! There's training! Then toward the end it had another dark turn where our heroes had to deal with some horrible dark emotions. It's not a pleasant nor 'cool' arc at all. It's just...mostly disturbing and heartbreaking. Phantom Troupe arc is 'cool', while Chimera Ant is a 'nightmare'.

The next arc will be uber-long and will probably take a full year (possibly more, since they don't need to hurry the pace along to get past the retread stuff)

At the end of the episode, though nothing really was shown other than a shadow of the Ant Queen and the hat of the Nigg guy, his face wasn't shown. And part of the flashback that was supposed to be in the first episode with Gon being a little kid.

It its the arc with most gore and 'emotional darkness', things like selfishness and fear are explored to the max. I think it is the best arc so far, really like it.

Amazing! ^^

Great arc, I really liked it as it progressed (not so much initially).

I can't wait for next week's episode (have no clue about this 'Chimera-Ants' thing, as I've not read or watched the original).

5/5.

mangareader here, CA is a lot worse than yorknew. Yorknew is by far the best arc that was made in hunter x hunter. So it ain't really set in stone, some like it some don't.

Next episode we're gonna have a flashback. It's too bad they didn't show that long haired hunter guy in the first episode instead, but whatever.
Anyway, I'm glad I don't read the manga, from this point on I have no idea what's going to happen next.

Also a manga reader...

Yorknew was good but I much prefer arcs like Hunter Exam, Heavens Arena, Greed Island and Chimera Ant Arc which are much closer to the fantasy adventure genre
that HxH is meant to be. Yorknew is more of a revenge drama. Albeit a good one.

Chimera Ant Arc is my favorite because it contains both the dark grisliness and emotional drama of Yorknew, the shonen fighting spirit and action of Heavens Arena and Greed Island and the mystery and intrigue of the Hunter Exam.

Of course not everyone will like Chimera Ant Arc but it seems like most who
don't also happen to find Yorknew the best. Now, again Yorknew is a good
arc but it's the arc that stands out the most from the rest of the series.

Oh my god, it's here. It been so many years, it feels like ten? It is ten and more?

Really enjoyed the GI arc. Yorknew had better characterisation (and probably everyone's first alluring taste of neo noir) but GI was also highly original with many unexpected surprises. And it's a vital training arc.

I haven't read past this arc in the manga aside from the recent Kurapika backstory chapters. No better time than now, right? :D

Chimera Ant arc is about Hopelessness. Imagine 3 years old child vs a LION in a cage. That kind of hopelessness. Hell, one of the top tier hunters of the extermination team had a breakdown despite taunting killua from the beginning (Novu). Now imagine that. But this arc also shows the true spirit of a HUNTER. Group of people who don't back down without giving their all and enjoy challenges (Netero and Morau). Great development for both Killua and Gon. Some scenes are really disturbing like a centaur like creature with 2 humans acting like dogs, A HUMAN PIG BUTCHERING HUMANS (How Ironic :D), child getting killed, etc. I count this as one of the greatest story ever. Ignore the naysayers of this arc.

wow cant believe we made it to this point. Was a pretty damn fair amount of material they had to catch up with, and theyre finally going to have new animated material for the first time in a many amount of years, lol. madhouse has been doing great. Im currently reading CA right now, over halfway through or so, and Im liking it a lot. I think Madhouse is going to do it justice because of some of Togashi's lazier drawings. I am someone who also enjoyed the Yorkshin arc a lot. CA is darker in that aspect, but not in the same way. Im liking it a lot better though than GI. For all the serious aspects, I think Togashi has put in some very good humor as well. I think its one of his creative higher points in the series. I am very excited to see it animated. I wish we didnt have to go through the flashback tomorrow. but itll still be great. all in due time.

also, after reading some of CA, it seems like a Biscuit x Killua's way more likely. Id like that a lot actually. Especially when Gon

AND, to the people waiting for Phantom Troupe, I know there's atleast one good fight with them.

Yeah that would work. I don't think she will ever regret her decision. Although there is a time where that would of been extremely useful, however if she did have that then half of the arc after Chimera Ant would be pointless.

@5layer didn't you notice the different 'binder', it was temporary, after all cards are pulled, the binder's gone forever. Keeping it in might not be an option either, it's basically just a way to keep the cards temporarily there till the winners actually claim it.

We never know, or we know but I never cared. I would like the game to continue, just ending after one clearing is trolling, more people are inside who want something, so it should be cleared by more than one...kinda like a race...Gon/Kill got 1st place and so on
