did they really have to explain all of that in such detail?

yes they did,this is hxh, if you can't handle too much information i'd recommend quitting asap

True.

Major exposition is VERY normal on HxH.

I don't believe they used the entire episode to explain how Hisoka won his fight.
That's quite a waste of time.

How so? It explains every move Hisoka uses and how manipulative and twisted he is in battle. The explanation was my favorite part of the episode, it just shows how fucking creative Togashi anime is with Nen fights. Most mangakas use these powers as an easy way out, but not here. Thanks to Nen, every fight is more interesting.

Good ep. The part
was quite gross >_>

FUCK YEA THIS IS HxH!

And if you thought this was gross just wait for York Shin...


I've seen the original ages ago. I was just commenting that it was gross. Gross can be good.

Haha, sorry. And yea, I was happy with that part because they didn't censure. It actually was a bit shocking. In a ''gross' way, like you said.

I can safely say that this part outdid the original as far as Hisoka's fight went.

I liked the part where Hisoka started screaming that made him stronger, and when he seemed to die but gained a new power to defeat his opponent and that part where the fighters started hitting each other until only one remained without any form of intellect.

-Oh wait wrong series. My bad.

Great episode as usual. The music is becoming more and more fitting and the mood is getting better with each episode. I can't wait till the next episode, this arc is probably my favorite in HxH. Hope they'll buff the animation a little.

Machi's Magic:
Even the Gayest Character in Anime Industry Couldn't stand :D :D :D


Mikasa said:
PS: Now you know, Hisoka isn't gay, he's just power-o-sexual :P


Hisok x Machi


Well... I really think that Hisoka's really, really, really gay. Other than Machi, all of Hisoka's interest/toys are in the same gender as he is.... which makes me think that Machi is so manly, Hisoka just can't help himself.

What? We can't have a non-conventional manly woman (not in appearance but how she carries herself)?

As for the episode, it was really done well. It stresses once again how important it is to master each nen principles. It also hinted on a subcategory of Ren which will be revealed on next episode (based from what I've seen on the preview). The best and amusing part for me is how Kastro really did a "frenzied dance" as Hisoka "predicted". Well done, Madhouse!

Hisoka trying to impress Machi is embarassing to witness. He's like a little boy. I bet he doesn't have any experience "wooing" a woman... unlike someone we know. *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*

The fight was cool he actually did die in a frenzy dance, even with that satanic magic trick (math).The animators must love having the names come up like that, which is nice. Nen stitching looked amazing. I thought recapping the entire fight to reveal what was done was a unique way of doing things for the anime and didnt feel all that boring. Confused on the shower scene is he or is he not a phantom troupe member?.

Hunterpedia always makes me laugh.

I don't think those two are related. HxH features mostly male characters. Of the few females, Machi is probably the only strong enough to interest him. Though I think he enjoys toying with her affection towards her insane leader more than anything else.

I'm sort of disappointed they wasted so much time on exposition. It also makes me wonder what will they do with the Gyo segment now.

More fairy dust... But nice episode. XD

I think Hisoka just likes whatever interests him, regardless of gender. Even if it mainly includes little boys. . . plus the cast of HxH is mainly guys.

I didn't mind the recap. It was important.

Yeah, that wasn't a good explanation because at this point in time, we know that there are a total of 2 girls Hisoka met (not counting the girl who escorted the Hunter hopefuls to Zevil Island), Menchi and Machi, and out of the two, Machi is the only one he expresses interest outside of fighting them (or so it seems) which is, admittedly, not a good number to make a comparison.

Oh well, it's the only thing I can think of without spoiling anything. I guess saying Hisoka's so fabulous there is no way he isn't gay will suffice (for now)?

Also as many new fans who have no prior experience with HxH have said before, please don't post spoilery stuff. It's well, kind of rude.

Nah I think the Power and potential is what turn him on :P However, he does make a lot of sex (including gay) jokes and puns ,,, but I think he looks like he just does them to creep people out..you'll see ~! :P

Wow I love this episode, good battle sequences, and having Machi and Hisoka explained the tricks he used made it easier to follow than narration. I love those crazy eyes of Hisoka in a certain scenes. Though I wonder why they changed the wet hair of Hisoka into curls?

What I love about Hunter x Hunter, like many before me have said, is that battles actually have a lot of thought behind them instead of the conventional yelling beefy guys merely beating each other senseless. And what I love the most is that, in spite of having read the manga and watched the older version, is that it's flawless animation and action packed episodes still manage to make me flail in excitement.

Machi and Hisoka's explanation of the fight was a bit long, sure, but it was a rather necessary element to explain how he attained victory in what seemed and impossible battle and, once again, it goes to show you the genius and creativity of the mind behind this anime/manga.

Lastly, while I don't remember Machi's older voice I thought she looked quite adorable with her pink hair and softer voice. It takes some time to get used to the changes but I really love what the new studio is doing with these changes. :) Can't wait to see how Genei Ryodan arc will be handled. <3

Comparing Hisoka's strategy here to the 1999 anime it has certainly outdone its predecessor. Machi's new hair color looks fine and I see no reason to complain about her new voice. The pacing in the recent few episodes have been on the slow side; hopefully they will pick up the pace just a little. Overall I'm quite satisfied with the episode, and the remake as a whole.

Haha, besides that though, this was a greaaat episode :) I'm so wanting to learn more about Nen. And wow, Hisoka really is a beast (also, a smart one at that :D)

5/5

I agree with others about the slow pacing though. Hoping it'll speed up a bit; I feel like it's dragging at times.

This episode was OK, it all happened like it did in the manga (as far as I remember, I didn't re-read it now to compare) but if my memory doesn't deceive me it was almost exactly like manga.

The thing I didn't like about the episode was the animation, I felt it was a bit poor at times and also the lack of blood, yeah, I know this is in Sunday mornings schedule in Japan but if they're already showing a severed arm and a guy pulling out a card from his arm then why no blood? it looked a bit weird to me. They should do an uncensored version or something for DVD releases. lol

On another note, I can't put my finger on why it is exactly, but I don't like the way they do Hisoka, he just doesn't look like I think he should, comparing him to his manga version. Also the way they did that shower scene was a bit strange how he was walking on his toes, who walks like that? and he didn't look as good as he did in the manga or the 1999 version, they made his hair way too curly.

Anyway, claps on this anime for not censoring the Hisoka vs Kastro fight, I liked how they handled all that complicated explanation on Hisoka's technique, this episode was really enjoyable.

I guess it would be the charging parts in DBZ. But my 2-minute-formulation may lack some sense or logic here and there.

Hisoka is the creepy magican version of YYH's Toguro (and with that there are many other YYH elements appearing in HxH).
He is the type of person that enjoys fighting someone very skilled, or even someone that might be stronger than he is. He sees this potential in Gon, just like Toguro saw it in Yusuke. The difference between them though is, well, Hisoka gets turned on by that. So as Mikasa said, Power-o-sexual is a fitting term.

THe fact that Hisoka showed some interest in Machi, is in my view a good way of showing Hisoka's normal side. The one that's not obsessed with playing with people or recruiting future opponents, the one that likes women just as any other regular male.

I think that Hisoka is attracted to Machi because of her skilled nen ability in addition to her being a female, kinda Hisoka's type you'd say :P.

Really? I thought the animation was quite good. There was blood just toned down. THose red marks are blood. Also Kastro spit blood when Hisoka sucker punched him But you should not expect crazy amounts of it by now.

They mentioned at the end of the episode that Hisoka is deceiving the Phantom Troupe, the reason will be mentioned later on.

Was a great episode, like some people mentioned the fights in this show are not like other Shounens, which actually make this show unique, and there'll be lots and lots of explanations and lots of strategies.

Don't get me wrong i like the show very much i just think they could have choosen a more properly schedule of time onthe day to avoid any type censoring for the anime, i don't mind to hear you out though.

I mean they can't just put the show anywhere, it takes money and plenty of decisions have to be made regarding what time for it to come on. The mourning reaches all age groups not only children. Also the anime would be censored regardless. Bleach got censored plenty and it came on at 6:00. So unless you want the show at midnight where no one would watch then this is what you have. Shonen properties tend to appeal to the young.

I liked this episode more than the last one even though it was a lot of exposition. It was good exposition that not only explained the fight but also shed some light on the mysterious Hisoka and the way his twisted mind thinks. The amount of precise timing and quick thinking on Hisoka's part was really impressive. Hisoka has a brilliant mind that is able to quickly scan and analyze people as well as their techniques. It's what makes him seem like such a magician on the battlefield.

The episode also served to show how important flexibility is for a nen user. Kastro had a neat ability but it's too rigid and doesn't allow for many combat options. It's great as a one hit kill option but if the opponent is sharp and survives the first attack he will figure out the technique and how to neutralize. Once that happens Kastro is screwed because he can't fight any other way.

I alos really like Hisoka's theme music. It has a nice Latin flavor to it that is different from anything else in the OST.

That one and the part where you said that

New fans voiced this concern many times now and I'm anxious that if this keeps up, they won't participate on the discussion (or even read here) for fear of being accidentally spoiled. I'm extremely interested on what they think because they offer new perspective on the show that the old fans may otherwise missed. Frankly, this is the only English forum I know where I can find lots of new fans who haven't seen the old anime, let alone the manga.

Let's put this aside for now. I think we will have a very fun discussion with Hisoka's sexuality once the GI starts. If we do this now, all our posts will be in a spoiler tag and that doesn't sound fun.

Children walks on tiptoes and people who have naturally curly/wavy hair are associated on Asian culture, or at least in my country (if there are other Asians here, please correct me if I'm wrong), as the mischivous, exasperating and trouble makers type of people.

Oh, so you completely understand what exactly happened in the fight without the help of the explanations/expositions in the manga/old anime? You must be a genius or Togashi himself.

Maybe you should take up your suggestion yourself. There should have been blood, yes, but only at the point when Kastro severed Hisoka's arm. If "he was bleeding all the time until the end of the match", then Hisoka would be the one who's dead and not Kastro. I suggest taking up reading on blood loss, it's immediate and lasting effects on the body so you don't embarass yourself more.

The part where Hisoka said "I now have a little motivation" was intended as a double entendre for "I think I want to do it with you now"...

did anyone else think hisoka asked machi to dinner because he was bored/lonely/wanted to celebrate, not because he was attracted to her? or was that only me...?

Great episode, might be the best one for me yet in this series...maybe cause it was really good new content that the 1999 anime lacked. This gives me hope that the next arc would be as amazing as the 1999 version, if not better.

What do you mean? Gyo? I know they didn't really name it, but it was mentioned (described) in the episode, so I didn't think it was a spoiler. Or am I missing something?

That one and the part where you said that
hinted on the contributing factor why



I never said that, though. A newcomer couldn't possibly deduce it [what you describe under the second spoiler tag] at this point, and the things I wrote were all mentioned in the episode (like I said, Gyo was described, and Hisoka specifically asks about the boss and Machi is obviously displeased by his attitude towards the warning she gave him).

It was censored. Here's a link for the curious.

Overall another great episodes 5/5.

Now you understand why his arm wasn't bleeding; Nen.


wrong, read tha chapters again he was bleeding all the time until the end of the match. He did not seal it during the battle itself. They just did this so they could get away with having no blood.

Good episode though but like I said in the last thread no chewing, it was supposed to happen at the end of last episode but instead we got a silly, "I now have motivation" line.


I'm starting to think that you only pretend to read the manga
There wasno blood till machi told him to unseal his arm


read again then:

http://mangafox.me/manga/hunter_x_hunter/v06/c053/9.html frame 5 bleeding from face
http://mangafox.me/manga/hunter_x_hunter/v06/c053/10.html fram 1 (from right) same
frame 5 on same page, blood leaking down on his clothing
http://mangafox.me/manga/hunter_x_hunter/v06/c053/15.html frame 1 (from right) blood drops
http://mangafox.me/manga/hunter_x_hunter/v06/c053/16.html frame 2 more blood drops
on same page a lot of blood dripping from his arm in frame 4. Blood on trousers also
http://mangafox.me/manga/hunter_x_hunter/v06/c054/2.html blood dripping from the hand right after he chews from it
http://mangafox.me/manga/hunter_x_hunter/v06/c054/3.html blood dripping from his hand + blood in the cloth
http://mangafox.me/manga/hunter_x_hunter/v06/c054/4.html blood on the floor among the cards
http://mangafox.me/manga/hunter_x_hunter/v06/c054/5.html Blood when he rips out the A card
http://mangafox.me/manga/hunter_x_hunter/v06/c054/6.html same as above, twice
http://mangafox.me/manga/hunter_x_hunter/v06/c054/7.html blood on A card
http://mangafox.me/manga/hunter_x_hunter/v06/c054/9.html blood dripping from the second hand kastro takes. blood also in the air in frame 3
http://mangafox.me/manga/hunter_x_hunter/v06/c054/13.html line of blood from his hand, note that he has already thrown the cards and tied them to kastro.

By this time Hisoka has stopped the bleeding and takes out Kastro with ease. No blood in hunter x hunter, you make me laugh.

obviously skipping the moron that thinks blood loss applies in hunter x hunter. Blood loss in a shounen action series when everyone gets inflicted mortal wounds left and right and rub it off as a scratch, ...please take you're sillyness somewhere else. Seriously get you're head checked if you think there is any reality in hunter x hunter at all.

cool story bro. Seriously, it's hard to take you seriously when you complain about the most mundane things. ALL SHONEN ANIME ARE CENSORED! Did you see Hisoka magic trick, was the arm cut off, did they not add the squishy sound effects when he did? Right, ok. Get the hell over it.

Get over what? If you waren't handicapped with a lack of brain you would have noticed that I liked this episode. What Mikasa however stated was completely false, get over the fact that he is wrong? Nope, I like throwing it into people's faces.

It's obvious that the series is going to be censored as they are already doing it heavly, however Mikasa was stating that they are not doing it, which is frankly humoursly stupid.

Face? Wasn't the argument about the arm?
1) some screens show skin not blood lol
2) blood during arm trick was shown so what is the point?
3) during the second arm cut a little blood was shown before being sealed off
After the fight when hiskka exits they show his arm with an angle that exposes his injury a little and shows blood as well
4) googling the chapter and linking pages doesnt prove that you read it, making sense does.

I thought Mephz mentioning "bleeding all the time' was referring to the severed arm too, because Hisoka did bleed/blood smudges are on the card in the anime (lessen, but I saw them). But the way he mentioned now as if there's no blood nor blood smedges at all. So I also thought he's complaining about the arms. There was no 'bleeding all the time' from the arm because Hisoka sealed the wound with his nen, as demonstrated clearly in the manga.

"There wasno blood till machi told him to unseal his arm"

Clearly not. Nope there is blood in all of those frames, skin as well but blood drops or leaking bloods in all of them. This frame alone burns you're argument to the ground: http://mangafox.me/manga/hunter_x_hunter/v06/c053/16.html frame 4. Quite frankly I believe I can see blood in manga when I read it, I've read enough of them to know the style.

2) It was shown heavily censored and ankle was changed so most of it was not visible. You also said that there was no blood until Machi.

3) So you admit you were wrong? Then there was blood present you moron.

4) Really not going to bother with this point, if you would have any sense you would simply check my mangalist, but I guess this really is you're level of argument, it's way below me.
