so i was thinkng about watching this, but apparently there will be this 2011 version so i was wondering if i shoul just watch this one?

i would say watch the original. i personally really liked the original. and the one that is coming up in october, there could be some differences in plot/ in how they execute it.

plus, originals are always the best :)

i also think original is better

How can you know it is better when the new one isn't out yet?

Watch the original - You can always see if they deviated from the plot in the new one later. And... always watch old things first, ahaha! Because you'll always feel that the new series is better if you watch it first (from the difference in the quality of the animation).

Watch the original. It is my favourite anime of all, and I can't see how this 'reboot' would be any better.

The only difference would probably be voice cast, music and animation.
I think the voice actors and music for the original were very good, that's why I may not like the new series as much as new fans. The animation/style is kinda outdated but portayed the Yorkshire arc very well with a dark style.

I say watch the original, it will be a great experience and you'll be able to detect filler in the remake because the original was filler free. And it will take years for the remake to reach the point were the original stopped.

Btw the original also includes the OVA and Greed Island (+final).

i'd say wait since the most important aspect is the plot so if you have any intention of watching the new one anytime soon without being bored since just watched the original and know everything that is going to happen and be fresh in your memory i'd say skip the old for now...sure if the new one doesn't get as far(why it wouldn't is beyond me) or later on once the new ends and time goes by and want to re-watch Hunter x Hunter then watch the old one for a slight change in pace ^^

I adore the original so I'd say go ahead and watch that. I'm going to miss the original voice cast and score. ;_; I hope this reboot covers everything and doesn't just leave fans hanging. I'm curious to see how it will differ.

I'm almost at a point that i'm sure that he will enjoy the original one over the new. HXH (1999) best anime ever made.

I will never watch the original. Remakes are ALWAYS better. Evangelion and FMA: Brotherhood are proof of this . Besides the original series is old and bad quality. I dont want to see that when I could be watching something with 10000000x better quality.

wow, a lot of good criticism and views on the matter. original usally beats remakes becuz it came out first and our minds (and hearts sometimes) are set on that one.
also if i watch the old one first, the least i can look forward to is better graphics when i decide to watch the new one.
and eucalyptustree16 (do you have a shorter name plz? lol) said its filler free, and that's somehow winning me over.

i think you may have good eyes there (not relating it tou your sasuke avy, lol)

The original is definitely worth watching, regardless of what the remake is like. It's one of the best, and unfortunately, most underrated series that I've encountered.

I don't think that remakes are always better, or visa versa. It depends on how well each individual series is executed, and of course, the opinion of the viewer. It's all subjective. For example, I much prefer the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime to the remake (or the manga, for that matter).

And I'm kind of excited about this! This is the first I've heard of a Hunter x Hunter remake, and that's one of my favorite series. :D I just hope it doesn't disappoint, because it does have a lot to live up to. Plus, I am admittedly very attached to the original voice cast. I can't imagine anyone other than Junko Takeuchi as Gon or Yuki Kaida as Kurapika. Killua and Hisoka also have very distinctive and fitting voices. Oh, well - I'll try to keep an open mind. :)

amen to that bro lol, although i have watch the original series on TV back in 2003 or something, im much more excited on the fact that this will be reanimated in modern animation quality

Hahahahah. No.

yeah well, no.

U serious?

May as well watch the original first. Hunter x Hunter is something you can marathon through. I personally wouldn't want to wait a week for each episode to come out; it's too much if you're impatient to know what happens next. And trust me, you'll want to know.

For me, I'm gonna wait until Hunter x Hunter (2011) is done or almost done before even starting.

Why wouldn't I be? Look at the ratings of 1.11-2.22/Brotherhood on here and everywhere else compared to their originals. I'm just voicing what i see and believe here. If you don't think the same. Then well, screw you. I can say what I want, Its not like you can stop me. You can call me out but hey I don't give a damn about what you say lol /end of story

All I'm trying to say is why see something outdated when i could see something in way better quality. Its like choosing between that old twinkie bar on top of your fridge that may be a couple years old and a fresh hot dount straight from the oven. Obvious choice though that wasn't a very good analogy but you get my point lol

Obvious troll.
