| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This episode felt painfully short. Though it looks like we may not have to worry about censorship from now on. o.o |
| Great! episode. I can't wait! to see the next episode |
| Excellent episode. I wish more had happened though. |
| I dogged this remake a lot in the beginning, but it is starting to impress me. The fight between Hisoka and the ex-examiner went down better in this version I think, particularly the ending. In the 1999 version it just shows a lot of red (blood) where the guy's neck is and then a really long freeze frame at his horrified face. It never showed the decapitation whereas in this remake they did. Cheers to it. There is some hope for the upcoming stuff after all. |

| Good job, Leorio. 4/5 |
Meddigo said: Ah, HorribleSubs with the Digimon trollsubs. Not what I was expecting... if u looked carefully u would notice it was EP9 they trolled u with .. back to topic hmm .. at least Hisoka's fight against that scar face was a little longer than the original if I remember correctly he said it took him years to be able to catch them .. not half year like here |

Kamuki said: This episode felt painfully short. Though it looks like we may not have to worry about censorship from now on. o.o My thoughts exactly. That guy got decapitated. In the older version his head was still on his shoulders or at least it appeared to be that way. Knew the violence would go up. Donni_DaRkO said: hmm .. at least Hisoka's fight against that scar face was a little longer than the original if I remember correctly he said it took him years to be able to catch them .. not half year like here hmmm think he did say half a year because the hunter exam takes place every year and that guy got scarred in the last exam so it couldn't be years because he just learned that style, even Hisoka wasn't familiar with it. There's hope for Killua's math now and I'm hoping it's next episode. In the preview it showed the guy he'd face but then again it may start the battle near the end and end with a cliff hanger or with the match just starting. Anyways, really good episode. Hisoka vs Examiner from last year was better than the one in the original IMO. |
     "There is someone that I must meet again. And until that day... not even Death himself can take my life away!" |
| AAAwwWeeeesome :)))) Hisoka is just such a badass o.o |
  |
| LOVE this show! |
     |
| awesoome episode! |
| oh my why does Hisoka have to be so god damn AWESOME? >< Leorio's match is good too, can't wait for next week. |
| First time thus far that I thought something involving Hisoka was done better than the original. Hopefully this remake can keep improving. |
| It feels really so-so for me. Still majority of the parts I liked the previous version compared to this 2011 one. |
| Randomly looking for high compatibility with other people. Click and see if you have high compatibility and leave a comment in my profile. It'll make my day. :)  |
| For all my complaining about this remake going way too fast, this episode definitely went way too slowly. |
 |
| okay, this ep was really good. easily the best one yet. killua talking to kurapika about murdering people and leorio-sensei being gar as fuck - now that's what i'm here for. died @ hisoka doing the eyecatch and trying to slaughter the viewer with his card. and of course, dat closeup of jones's face at the end of the preview. i hope they don't hold out on us after teasing us ... i'm not too worried anymore thanks to hisoka having fun with his buddy this ep.   :3333333333 killua knows, man |

| More shadow violence... better than completely removing it, but it gets kinda old when they use it for anything and everything that involves blood. Hope we get to actually see what happens next episode... |
| As much as I hate the presentation of this adaption, I gotta admit, it's kinda smart sometimes. The scenes with psychological explanations are 'mainstreamed' rather clever. Like the one with Kurapika and Leorio last time, they mixed a lot of humour in, instead of taking it seriously. That way it'll work for the new shounen-audience. Hisoka throwing a card at the screen was pretty cool. But the MUSIC was so not fitting for him at all. Speaking of music, that jazzy track in the beginning was the first from this show, I found to be somewhat good. Bottom line another "ok"episode, before the big bang in the next (?). I won't be satisfied anyway. :x Meddigo said: I dogged this remake a lot in the beginning, but it is starting to impress me.

I still prefer it, over a shadow image, of a head dropping. |

chikkychappy said: Well, that horrified face was straight out of the manga original. I still prefer it, over a shadow image, of a head dropping. greatly prefer the shadow over the horrified face. not only was it less vague, but it was more creatively done. Shadow violence is not creative. It's how they always handle violence in shows lightened up for younger audiences. Off the top of my head they used it in Rurouni Kenshin and Narutaru. The fight was pretty cool though. Can't wait till they get to the more intense fights. |
| In the original anime almost nobody could tell if hisoka cut off the guy's head (unless they read the manga) same goes for when hisoka cut off that guy's arms at the beginning (i thought he was hiding behind a wall because hisoka was scary or something) killua only injured one guy, instead of killing 2 so stop yer bitching...! |

Diceroll said: Excellent episode. I wish more had happened though. Yea, when the ED started I was like "What?? After roughly ten minutes of content??" - at least that`s what it felt like. |
| this episode is very good love that little mind game (or betting game) of Leorio and Lourette and that talk about always rejecting the minority will lead to the downfall of a team is really interesting that i learn something lol and also Hisoka beheading his opponent was a shocker for me since i know this anime is for kids viewing only but i guess this kind of censorship is still permissible in japan |
| Good episode,talking time. Hisoka being a badass and humiliating his opponent by catching the daggers was awesome,and ya kinda surprise they show he decapitating him but it was only shadow....stupid censorship. Leorio gambling game was fun,the talking was not bad and keep me entertained,finally blue guy is out and we can get to the good part.....Killua fight and see how they adapt it! Btw i loved this scenes |
| so the violence once again is put into shadows and blood removed. Looking bad :( |

eucalyptustree16 said: I still wonder how that n00b became an examinator :P. losing to hisoka hardly means he is a noob. He would probably slaughter Gon and everyone else in this exam. Hisoka is simply one of the strongest in the world. |
|
| Nice episode. |
 |
| Good episode, but I kinda want the next episode to hurry over the next part of Leorio's bet, it just felt so out of place >.> Well, in any case, it seems that the prisoner fight will end pretty soon, either by next week or by the week after at latest. |
| Tonpa is funny - I like how he's well outstaying his welcome, yet still feels the need to revel in others misery. Leorio's challenge is interesting - a good battle of wits and a decent length (it could have been overwith really quick). I liked this ep, though yet again, it seemed short, though I suppose this can't be helped - it ties in with the old phrase; "Time fly's when you're having fun" and this series is fun. I do understand why people may be a bit worried about the cencorship however - this series may have 'cute' characters, but it's far from 'cute' on a hole especially some material upcoming. Still, some 'Hunter x Hunter' is better then no 'Hunter x Hunter' IMO - this series is better then a lot of the anime released this year. |
 |
| It surely paced down now. Hope it keeps to manga like this. :) |
| That's not right! She couldn't have changed her bet like that at the last minute! AGAINST THE RULES. :O Hisoka is a BEAST. Really the first time seeing something secret in the exam behind the scenes. Interesting. 5/5 - Hunter X Hunter is an AMAZING show. Can't wait for next week! On to new Beelzebub~! xD |
| Loved this episode as usual~ The action was really good, especially Hisoka's fight with the scar faced guy. Killua's cat face was cute >_< |
| This episode went by fast for me. At the end I was surprised like, "It's over already?" That's a good thing. I'm tempted to read ahead in the manga, but I don't want to spoil something I'm looking forward to, so, at least for now, I won't. |
 |
| The Trick Tower really is the best part of the manga to me. Great episode, and the next one will be even better. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Pshh...No Killua badassery this episode. Oh well, at least Leorio got some of the spotlight. |
| I didn't get the part where the blue guy forfeited his match. Can someone explain it ? |
| This episode was so-so it was kinda dull |
 |
Valaskjalf said: I didn't get the part where the blue guy forfeited his match. Can someone explain it ? Leorio bet that Majitani is not really unconscious, but is just faking it and he bet 10 hours on it. So he was pretending to toss him off the platform to make sure. At the last moment, the girl knew that the blue guy will forfeit. So she changed the bet and said that he is faking. While leorio bet that he's really unconscious(Even though he's sure he's not, and originally bet on that), this way they will at least gain 10 hours even though they lost a point Leorio didn't mind that much since he will gain 1 point and if he kept arguing over who's betting on what they might even lose more than what they're betting on. I hope this helped :P |

| love this series the episode went by so quick can't wait to see Killua challenge! |

Hence, the piece of paper guess she didn't figure everything out |

Liinah said: The whole episode about the blue guy? And here I was expeting Killua's fight to happen already. You do realize that right now they are moving the exact pace of the original right? Don't know if you saw it or not but this is hardly new. Also for everyone Leorio's match is no where close to being over, it will most likely take up half or 75 percent of the next episode. Killua will fight next week unless they throw a curveball in there. As far as censorship I honestly don't care as long as they don't completely change parts in the story just to keep it censored. |

I hope this helped :P No, I mean after that. Once the blue guy came back in the ring, why did he forfeit ? Couldn't he simply stay in the ring and make them waste even more time or did I miss something? |

Hence, the piece of paper guess she didn't figure everything out that's not what i mean i've seen the original and read the manga. but why does he still act unconscious even AFTER they put 40 hours for him to wake up. wouldnt he be like, U got trolled thanks for the 40 hours cause i'm awake instead of still acting unconcious till he almost dies falling. |
