As I stated, if its important, they'll bring it up.. probably as a flashback since that makes more sense for pacing then beginning the series with a boring scene. go watch episode 1 of the original or read chapter 1 of the manga the things they left out are of critical importance to the story it isnt something you can bring up later the events of chapter1 or ep 1 of the original anime will play a major role through out the story also they didnt even convey the type of person gon is in this remake. as of now he is nothing more than a 12 year old brat but in the original he is so much more also the relationship between mito and gon was completely ignored which is the defining morals and type of character gon is Read this. But wait that is not all, details of the structure of the adaptation have also been announced. In particular it has been revealed that Kite, the Hunter who inspires Gon to become a Hunter in chapter 1 of the Manga shall not appear until later on in the anime, in order to lessen the gap between his first appearance and reappearance during the Chimera Ants arc. That's actually very smart of them, well if this source I just posted is telling the truth. |

| Its rushed, cuz they expect you've seen the original. Though, the opening and ending DOESNT FIT HXH AT ALL. Not that its bad. But still i'm looking forward to the next episodes, anime of 2011 tottally. You guys need to learn what a remake is lol. |

| >mfw Miyuki Sawashiro When Gon jumped off the ship, they should have made him do some twirls and what not to fit the music. Dat ED; it's a first. |
Keilis said: This really makes me miss the BGM of the original. And the pacing. And the OP. I swear we were just flying through the story. Same, I loved the original OP Ohayou and also felt the pacing was a bit too fast. Though it's great to say the old crew again; back in lovely v. bright colours =p |
     |
| I think they kind of rushed a bit on episode 1, but still overrall this episode was good. Happy to have HXH back :3 |
| it's a reebot so i'm not suprised that they rushing through the earlie stages of the plot they proably continue until greed arc. |
 |
| i just watched it again and the caption's nose is so funny looking it looks like a clown nose |
| |
| I see someone posted the ED, how about the OP? It's nice too. Though I still like "Ohayou" more. But as for the OP's animation, I liked it better than the "Ohayou" one. |
 |
| Just wondering why the fuck skipped Kaito. Really, it was because of him "that" happened in the manga, so I'm really puzzled as to why they didn't include him. Also, it seems like they fused the first 3 episodes into this 1st one, also don't get why. I think the pacing of the original was actually quite good. The voices also need to grow on me, Gon's was actually the only one that I ended up liking right away (as it was the one that felt closer to the original), Kurapica's was eh, and Leorio was just lol (FujiKei as Leorio, really?). But this was still a really nice start, and I'm really looking forward for more :) |
| I liked it. Fast paced, with very good animation. Gon still annoys me, but that's nothing new. |
| animation is nice but the music and character voices suck. |
| Woot! Like everyone else said, I think they shouldnt have skipped the Gon X Kaito back story, but I'm guessing they may show a random flashback. Anywho cant wait for more episodes |
| So far, it's pretty good but the music (BGM, ED) isn't as good as the original. Hope they improve it along the way :) Glad HxH is back, can't wait to see Killua |
| Your complains concerning bgm are slightly biased, because they've merely used 3 or 4 songs in this episode. |
| My impressions/reactions (because I couldn't form proper sentences while watching this): typical shounen OP, characters running & birds flying. not really as cool as Ohayou Nice BGMs, it really feels like I'm watching an adventure anime Gon is probably the only character who could make fishing this exciting (and badass) Mito looks young yet sounds old bahahaha Well, no bears and wild friends and Kaito here Wow, Kurapika & Leorio were introduced here already Cute half-time eyecatch :D So it's not contact lens? D: I prefer Kurapika's blue (sometimes green) eyes in the original Eugh. WTF is this ED? Did we suddenly change to Death Note? Even though they squeezed 3 episodes here and change a lot of (minor) details overall a great start for something that I've seen already. Gon meeting up with Kaito is really important but let's see how Madhouse will work on that. |
| Well first of all, i enjoyed this episode i guess. The main thing was I think they increased the pacing a bit too much and skipped some vital details like Gon's attachment to nature and animals. Well, since i'm used to the original, the voices seem to bug me a little, hopefully it'll wear off soon... I hope the next ep will slow down the pace alittle tho. |
| too fast, cheap art, it's still early but I didn't like the BGM, the ED was awesome but you got to admit that the original ED fits the show better, is it me or does the remake look more kawaii/childish than the original one? but still I'm happy to see the crew again. |
| I prefer this version. It is fast-paced (or moderately IMO) and it doesn't have lots of fillers. Though, I watched the older anime on TV and it was a long time ago so I think I couldn't compare this with the first one. HxH will probably catch up with the big three. |
| Lol it's a lot different than the original |
| I'll say it again. The first series was almost completely devoid of fillers. Except for an extra added mission during the Hunter Exam, almost everything was taken literally verbatim from the manga (though certain violent scenes were made a bit more tame iirc). It's fine to say that you prefer the brisker pace, but do not say that you prefer the new series because it has less filler. Everything in the original series was something that Togashi himself deemed important enough to draw. |

| It was kinda rushed compared to the original, but I like it. I wanna see them animate the next arc after the OVA's were finished (: |
 |
| it was a good remake... but i m definitely sad abt gon's seiyuu... i still find tt junko gives him more of the child's voice and as well as personality.. they did change a bit :< *sadden* they all gives off a different aura except for Leorio... i hope they does a bit of the flashback too and... BGM doesnt suit much, it is not as good as the old one... but but but they made gon really cute in this! ii will have to view this as a total new show... (but it is hard for me T_T i was a fan of the old HxH* |

| As expected from Madhouse, the animation was great. But where is Kaito? The animators forgot him. |
 |
| The pacing is off, yea... I don't have too big of a problem with that, as long as it doesn't continue at this rate. However the BGM ruined a few scenes for me, it is honestly one of the worst I've heard or rather what we got so far was used very poorly. Oh well, here's hoping it improves. |
| can i watch this without watchin the old season>? |
| The pace is lulzy but I didn't mind. The VA change doesn't bother me also, though Mito was a bit of a wat. And I totally love the OP/ED. |
| I have to say episode 1 is pretty weak. |
| i actually liked the BGM but some timings are a bit off >_>; anyone know how long this series is supposed to last? the fast pace is bothering me a bit although i stopped mid way of the original series, I think ill give this another go all in all it seems pretty decent for a remake and shonen lol |
| The ending is mad:D I loved the opening also~ Liked the voice acting. I knew Sawashiro Miyuki will do well but I'm quite surprised by Gon's voice actor. She is doing great, and I had no problem with Leorio~ |
 |
| I will start from ED/OP. I hate OP because of song...well, at least animations were good enough. 2/5 ED is EPIC! i love song and everything, but it's Fear, and loathing in las vegas, so it was clear for me that i will love it. And about episode.I think it was JUST OK, because they have missed many great scenes from original. Voices were ok as well. Overall episode: 7/10 Kurapika black eyes?. |
 |
| it is just like I am watching HxH in fast forward with a better quality of animation and slightly different character designs. I honestly don't like the BGM, I miss the unique music of the original version.. The OP belong to the typical ones out there. It is really disappointing because I always watch the OP of the original and I am looking forward to this one but, yeah it was disappointing. But the ending is a little better but still it's common I am not sure but I think there are many important scenes that are not included in the first episode. It lacks the drama. maybe they should've included the Kaito scene. The voices.. Not my cup of tea. I thought Mito's voice sounds older, Kurapica's voice is so feminine.. And the others was just OK.. Overall, it was an okay episode. |

| It seems like i'm the only one who likes BGM here :) Minuses were: - Fast pacing, though it's not ultra fast because some parts about Leorio in original series were filler - Skipping part about Kaito, i know they will show it in some flashback later, but it's a way to spoil the original story anyway. -Original anime was already good enough, but i desperately hope that they will cover chimera arc here. Pluses were: - Insignificant people on background here are drawn very good, better than in one piece for example, and it looks like drawing overall is up-to-date. - BGM, don't know why people here hating it, sometimes it was definitely more interesting to listen to music than watch what is happening on the screen - Ending is very original, opening is OK and from a cool band, so series are alright in this way. |
| But if the arrow is straight And the point is slick It can pierce through dust No matter how thick... |
| This 1 episode compressed a couple of the episodes in the original. I don't like that... you miss alot of the background story and it feels too empty. |
 K-ON v1.1 ... Please leave you comments on my profile! ^_^ |
| the compression of the story wont matter to those who aren't familiar with the story. also did they change the voice actors? the BGM is kinda of tacky and the ending song would have been good if it wasn't autotuned even if partially. |
