Vogue- said: You'll find nothing but speculation on this forum. Don't worry about the future of this show until there is an official announcement. Just enjoy what's in front of us. Everyone here thinks they know everything about nothing, and it's actually rather tiresome. It's not really about stating the truth or anything. It's a "discussion" (like the thread says, only the topic broadened). There's nothing wrong with that, because many people enjoy that kind of sharing their thoughts and so on. |

Vogue- said: Everyone here thinks they know everything about nothing, and it's actually rather tiresome. Lmao, get real buddy. It's ironic that in trying to condescend in such a manner you are entering the category of "everyone here who thinks they know everything about nothing" that you oh so much despise. Congratulations there pal. Anyhow, I didn't state anything that wasn't already an obvious observation. Togashi has been on hiatus for almost 2 years now. In his strand of writing the Chimera Ant arc, he took several hiatuses that accumulated into an 8 year long arc. Let me repeat that... it took him 8 years to finish one arc. This current string of chapters he released before going on this hiatus was the longest uninterrupted strand of chapters released and it only lasted for 30 chapters. As stated earlier, he has been on hiatus for almost 2 years now with no sign of return in the near future. Tell me where this anime is going to get the material from to continue past either the CA or Chairman Election arc? Even if Togashi came back and started drawing tomorrow, his longest uninterrupted period of releasing chapters is 30. The best one could hope for is that he makes a dent in the following arc in the next year and by 2015 they get the chance to adapt maybe part of that arc. So explain to me again, where are they exactly going to get the material from? This isn't even taking into consideration the timeslot change, which history has proved, for anime that make that drastic time change shelf life isn't too long over in Japan. |
| fact (definition) - look it up, please :( im definitely worried... and currently there is nothing which could make me optimistic about this whole situation, but it's still an opinion anything could happen, there is no news regarding this matter whatsoever "Third, yeah Togashi can relax because regardless of if he returned tomorrow or in 2 years it won't make a difference, this anime will either end at the end of this arc or the arc that follows regardless of what he does and nothing can change that fact." i have a problem with this sentence right here, it's not a fact. you can openly share your opinion on this matter, but stop trying to sell it as a fact. optimism...pessimism... = equally annoying |

I should have worded that differently. That is the most likely outcome still whether or not Togashi gets back to work or not. |
| Cool fight, and it seems things are getting ever more tense. |
 |
| Oh, it's you again. I see you're still asspained about the old series getting canceled in the middle of the YS arc. Back on topic. I love the ED and the parallelisms put there in the gungi scenes makes my heart bursts. |

Barion-Zara said: Lirina said: Just out of curiousity, will we see Kurapika and Leorio again or have they completely vanished from HxH? Well Leorio appears in the arc after this one. Kurapika however only has a slight cameo at the end of that arc just before the hiatus. Well thats a bummer |

Because if so I've never once brought up the original series in this and I for damn sure have never once complained about where the original series ended. |

| There would also be another possibilty. Which is that Togashi starts writing again (consistently) and they have a weekly anime that mixes filler in from time to time before catching up to the manga. But that would also kill the anime for me and I would immediately switch to manga only (apart from it being unlikely). But yeah... my guess (and hope) is that they just end it and hopefully pick it up once another full arc is finished |

| I really can't understand the complaining over Gon's battle this week. Of course, it's an opportunity for Meleoron to guage and observe Gon's prowess in battle, but also an opportunity to show his growth and ingenuity in combat; that's kind of important with an ever-expanding storyline with more and more perspectives being introduced, and less time for Gon himself to take the spotlight. That aside, showing Killua's progress in alerting the country and the intrigue involving the Hunter's Association is all necessary buildup for what's coming ahead - this would all be a sloppy, poorly paced rush-job, otherwise. Aside from the needless justification, I thought it was very entertaining, despite. The writing and animation are rock-solid as always, and even in these more "mundane" episodes, I generally find HxH to be largely more compelling than the other weekly offerings. |
| I can't find the episode's beginning soundtrack, need help ? |

I think you are missing the point... You say Gon has had so many amazing feats, yet he really hasn't. He has had a few, sure. The show has stressed multiple times that Gon doesn't have enough combat experience and while he has spent a ton of time training, he can't really use it well if he can't apply it. You also seemed to miss that these "low level ants" weren't a push over. It helps develop and push the threat of the arc. I don't want to see a 2 minute scene of Gon steam rolling low level ants, it wouldn't add to the show at all and THAT would be a waste. Personally, I enjoyed the strategy used in the fight as it made it more interesting to watch - I'd rather not have HxH fights turn into generic shonen fights where only the main baddie puts up a tough fight, only to have the lead character power up to beat him. It's almost like you want him to one shot every little guy until he gets to neferpitou -.- Maybe the fact that I've read the manga and know where things are heading helps. Also, Gon does not have a "ton" of fights ahead of him. |
| Awesome. Dat new ending 0___0 |
Kyzen said: and seriously gon's ingenuity and growth in combat? he has done so many amazing feats in so many battles, and what growth didn't see anything at all? seriously there was nothing special. they just prolonged the arc. I would debate how much Gon's actually done up to this point in actual combat. Of course, his reckless gambit against Genthru at Greed Island was impressive, but that's been about it thus far. Aside from him knocking around a couple ants near the beginning of the arc, we haven't seen much from him in the way of high-stakes battles. As for the fight itself, I just couldn't help but be entertained by how the battle played out, and impressed by the quality of animation; that's a selling point to me right there - nothing seemed throwaway to me about it. Kyzen said: gon alone has tons of fights ahead of him. You would assume. Kyzen said: and lastly they made me wait 10 freaking days (was about to toss my monitor when i finished watching, i can't believe that was it) . not satisfied rated it 2/5. Not sure where this sense of entitlement is coming from. Honestly, I think much of your anger is coming from expectations; largely stemming from the perception that this is just another formulaic battle shonen. Togashi should have displayed by now that he likes to defy conventions. Give the series a little more credit, and enjoy the ride. If one episode per sitting isn't enough, it might be better to just wait and watch 2-3 at a time a few weeks later. |

| New ending and some good action. Liked it. They're picking up the pace again. :) |
| nice one Gon... though I really prefer that every chimera ant dies. |
 |
| I prefer the previous ED much more, but I guess it was necessary to introduce the new character. It seems like this arc still has a long way to go... I'm going to hang in there, I don't want to catch up with the latest ep as I don't want to wait a week for a episode, but well... |
| First half was meh, Gon has the power to create a gust of wind just by swinging a tree? Really? And again, Gon can move while activating his Jankenpon? If that's the case then I don't see the channeling period as a weakness anymore. Second half was okay. New ED, the song is okay, need time to get used to it, but I like the ED sequence, Meruem and the other person. The part with Gon and the fiery red background caught my attention, his stare, that was awesome. |

| These past 2 episodes are making it even harder to take the show seriously. New ED is ok. Maybe I'll like it more as I watch more. Looks like there's a bunch of spoilers in it. |
 |
| Pink Koala isn't in the new ED, I thought he was gonna be important? |
| Gon is getting better at his strategies in combat. I'd like to see the scissor ability more. |
 |
RediceRyan said: Gon is getting better at his strategies in combat. I'd like to see the scissor ability more. Yeah, I'd like to see scissors more too. Hearing about the political side of the Hunter Association was interesting. I hope Gon and Killua haven't screwed up Netero's plan too badly. Like the internet before, I now find myself semi-surprised that there are tanks and jets in the HxH-verse. (Not to mention the nuclear weapon Kil mentioned in the last episode.) I hope Killua can handle them. |
| weak fighting as usual but the second half was much better |
 |
| Excellent episode. I love how Gon actually had to strategize in order to defeat the Ants this episode. That's something that separates HxH from other shonens, in which MCs usually just win by nothing but brute force and willpower. |
| Nice ED, they seem to really like Yuzu huh :) |
| Are things finally starting to heat up? |
| Gon vs. Bat and Owl was interesting. |
 |
| This arc has gotten pretty interesting buts lasted a lot longer than I thought it would. Lack of Kurapika and Leorio is making me sad. |
| The last three endings from Yuzu are the best songs from this series I suppose. And it's confirmed, basically East Gordeau is North Korea haha. |
| i jut want to see netero fighting the king asap. |
 |
| Yes! Gon vs Owl and Bat! This was a well thought out battle that finally shows of Gon's intelligence in battle. It's actually one of my favorite fights in the series. Nice episode. |
  Rarity is Best Pony! |
| Gon holding his own nicely. Martial law, huh? Well played. Like I said before, the ED songs peaked at "HUNTING FOR YOUR DREAM". I like this song more than the last. |

| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| I have a feeling the cellphone is a bomb or something |
| I love Killua so much. Don't let anything bad happen to mah baby D; Ep 99 aka Killua's # for the first Hunter exam hehe :} |
| The new Ending is great. I will never skip it again hehe. 5/5 |
 |
| Killua is basically conquering the whole country slowly but steadily! The new ED is nice. |
  |
| well this was something.. a new enemy appears… what I mean is a new character appears in the ending surely she is not a friend |
 |
| Gon using some nice tactics! The whole arc is progressing quite well, really looking forwards to see what's next! That new ED was quite interesting, especially that part where they played a version of Go? Well let's see what's next. |
 |
| Gon's on-the-spot strategizing against that Ultrasonic Bat and Owl Gorilla was very impressive to watch from seeing him adapt to each attack while slowly observing and analyzing their every move to him kicking their asses! Killua revealing the truth to everyone prematurely might've caused a martial law to be declared but at least he'd delayed the citizens from reaching the selection grounds like they planned. I hope that he'll be able to beat that Liger and his companions. I liked the new ED more than the Shooting Star one. |
 |
| They are not even in agreement of what they should be doing. |
| that's how battles should be, pretty smart gon fighting! the east gereatu becoming more and more north-kurea by the hands of the chimera. nice ending, didn't expect much. |
