Kiraly said: For the past few episodes I've been getting the impression that the pacing is off. The Hunter Exam was, imho, perfectly paced, but since this arc started everything has been going far too fast. Can a manga reader confirm? Or did the old anime just slow everything down to a crawl here so the vague recollection of that fuels my bias? So far almost all episodes have been 2 chapters per episode. With arc/mini arc transition episodes adapting 1-1.5 chapter (waiting 50 hours in trick tower, Gotoh's coin game, etc) But I think the older version had a faster pace here due to omission, so it's kinda weird that you say this episode went fast :P Since we're discussing whether it's normally paced or too slow. According to the preview, next episode will be exactly 2 chapters, from start to finish  |

It's just that the whole climbing the tower + Nen introduction went by incredibly fast, in a 'here's your generic magic fighting power, and oh yeah they beat lots of opponents off-screen and now they've leveled up' fashion. I guess I just prefer a more languid pace in long-running shonen (although not necessarily to the extent that certain other series employ). |

Oh, the older series did add some fillers (like the Darth Maul guy, and the elevator girl) and made it longer, they also pushed most of the explanations to an earlier point while the new series still has many to explain about Nen (mainly Hatsu) But all-in-all both versions are about 9-episodes long of heavens arena..I think |

Original was 8 episodes. This might go up to 10, but 9 is a sure thing. These are the next few episodes. 13 May #31 インネン×ト×シュウネン --> #31 Destiny and Tenacity (This was yesterdays episode.) 20 May #32 ドッキリ×ナ×ショウリ --> #32 Shocking victory (Will finish up Hisoka fight, and have the aftermath) (Maybe also go into Hatsu.) 27 May #33 ケイハク×ナ×キョウハク --> #33 Shallow Threat (Might finish up Hatsu) (The episode where the the thugs do there thing, and Killua also threatens.) 03 June #34 ジツリョク×デ×セツジョク --> #34 Revenge with his true power.(Fight against pig man.) That is already 8 for the arc. After that we still have the Hisoka fight. Modified by there76, 05-13-12, 3:42 PM |

Shower scene is the ending of ep thirty two (If we assume they show exactly 2 chapters up till 55 p.19 which I think fits perfectly Ep. Thirty Three (Number three in my keyboard isn't working :P) is about Hatsu and the thugs |

Are some confusing slow pacing with them just not wanting the episode to end? |

Great to see this fight in full length; the original version really rushed this fight imo so it's nice to see some improvements in the remake. Not that I'm complaining or anything but I wish they'd leave the gore as it is, would make it even more epic if they did. Hisoka never gets serious from the start unless he feels threatened; that makes him a arrogant badass  |

The original series dealt with this fight and the censorship in a better way. I don't want this series to be ruined because of the censorship and the lack of visible violence...  |

No way! the 1999 series skipped 90% of the fight, it wasn't even an adaptation, it was just a bullet point summarization. The new series is clearly better in many ways (well-executed and well-explained, paid attention to details, and animated the actual fight) |

People need to stop comparing this with the 99 series. It should only be compared with the source (manga) - Signature Removed - The signature seriously lacked "It's a Sony" qualities. |

Mephz said: Anyway overall disapointing episode, I don't like the fairy dust. I felt they skipped a lot of dialogue as well so I went and read the manga again to confirm. In the manga hisoka had blood all over his face, there was blood dripping from both ends of the arm, so no it was not sealed up. *Scenes changed, conversations moved from one location to another. *Skipped all parts when killua was bitching about the price of the tickets *Also Gon's reactions to it, "he's a millionaire, listen to him" *skipped the line when killua said that this was their "fatal confrontation/death match", a hint towards a future death, which makes me wonder if the death is going to happen. *forgot to bring paper and a pen *skipped hisoka's thoughts during the fight, that worries me for the spider arc *the dialogue for the commentator was changed *the dialogue between Hisoka and kastro was changed *last but not least, Hisoka shewing on his own arm was removed and changed to something like I now have motivation blabla Actually, a lot of what you've listed are errors in translation. You probably read the scanlation, right? That was translated from a Spanish or French translation instead of the original Japanese. The dialogue in this episode was almost word-for-word the same--minus a few omitted lines/scenes. |

It still doesn't work against the divine entity known as hxh(2011). It always happened when some 1999 series fan rant about how the new episodes delete or change things, aka how it's not the same as the 1999 series. Then people defend it by citing how the 2011 series is based on the manga, instead of remaking the 1999 series (that had a lot of fillers, changes and censorships). The 2011 series is trying to stay close to the manga but a lot of 1999 series fans never read the manga and mistaken the 1999 series as the authority. Loop that for every new episodes' discussion. People who watched the 2011 series for the first time never bring up the old series It's always the 1999 series fans who HAS to bring it up to trash the new series.
