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



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.


Yeah, sorry if I didn't express correctly, I know there was some blood in the episode, but I mean coming from Hisoka's severed arm, his arm was just hanging there without any blood coming down from it so that looked kinda funny to me.

Also I love his explanations for the names of his moves xD

actually the Chimera ant's arc started too boring (considering all the hiatuses, and reading it from the manga is just too horrible, cz of the drawings) but the 2nd half of it makes it one of the best arcs in HxH.

Dude Chimera Ant arc is LEGIT. But you got to read it from the volumes to truly appreciate the awesomeness that is the Chimera Ant Arc. It's a long arc for sure
but I didn't once find it boring. The beginning is awesome, the middle is awesome
and the end is awesome.

at first the weird creatures theme was my problem, and I didn't understand the whole 1st part, but I think I got used to it around the half of it. I think by reading it again I'll understand and enjoy it more, and I think it'd be more amazing if they'd animate it.

Wow..so you would have been able to figure everything out? lol


No, but it could be revealed throughout the episodes, and not dedicate just one to explain it all at once. Kinda ruins the mysticism in my opinion.

You didn't pay attention to what Wing said regarding Nen, did you?

Nen IS a "mysterious" force to those who do NOT know it. It means all the "miracle" and "unexplained" things in the world are in fact related to Nen. This anime heavily hinted about this mysterious power over the Hunter exam.

Since we already know that Nen exist, the "mysticism" of Nen become a mute point. In the Hunter world, Nen is considered a "discipline" of learning - a science, if you will, for people lucky enough to know that it exist - and should be broken down and analyze in order for us to learn more about how it works.

You said that you wanted Hisoka's power to be revealed over the course of the anime (like the typical shounen villain/anti-hero) but well, newsflash: Hunter x Hunter is not your typical shounen anime.

You've been watching this anime for 30+ episodes now. It should have occurred to you that the battles here are won more through tactics than brute force (powers). Hence, the "reveal" of Hisoka's Nen.

Hisoka won the match because he was smarter than Kastro NOT because his Nen is deadlier. Kastro's techniques (Tiger Claw, Double) are in fact much deadlier and harder to learn than Hisoka's Bungie Gum BUT the fact that Hisoka can use a lame power (a "gum" for crying out loud) like that to kill an opponent just shows how you use your "powers" effectively triumphs over how "cool/deadly" your powers are.

This episode highlights how effective Hisoka's Nen is in battle when combined with his battle tactics. It reinforced that Hisoka is not someone to trifle with.

Totally agree. I was looking forward to his shower time too, kinda disappointing .-.

Don't really like Machi's new voice either, I always thought her more monotone voice fit her perfectly. I'll get used to it though. Can't wait to hear the rest of the Ryodan!

So, what's up with the complaints about the lack of blood? I'm seeing a lot of complaints that basically amount to "It doesn't have blood it sucks!". What the hell?

Anyway, Hisoka continues to be an interesting character. Never saw him as gay, though, I just think he gets "excited" at the prospect of a worthy opponent. Either way he's still a bad ass. Loved Menchi's monologue at the end there, don't remember that being in the first series.

Hisoka shows his awesomeness once again. Hisoka actually gets a good amount of screentime. In other battle shounen antagonists don't get nearly as much.

I know he is, but I don't think the more blatant 'pedo'-ish scenes completely follow that. And I think I remember reading somewhere that Madhouse was going to tone down Hisoka's pervert side from the manga a bit so he's more only a 'fighting gets me extremely excited' type? (though you could say that counts as being perverted)

That was never actually said o.O Don't know why but japan is weird, they don't censor sexual stuff nearly as much as violence. And we've seen how not only he got a schwing but also had an orgasm...so I think it won't be censored....highly unlikely

They didn't? weird... my memory's getting worse. xD But the schwing was because he was about to fight Gon (one of his 'fruits' >_>) and the multiple rape faces were because he had bloodlust, not because he was eyeing certain parts of a child's body..? (I should probably tack on 'iirc' onto most of my posts |D)

No no, a schwing does indicate being sexually aroused alright...like in the manga..BUT in all versions the reason of his arousal is the opponents power/potential not itself.
GI ova changed a lot of stuff though, one of the changes is the removal of the part where Hisoka

So the only pedo part was the stare scene and I think he was just trying to intimidate them :P

Exactly. He's not gay; he just enjoys the company of little boys!

Speaking of that weirdo, only Togashi would troll the audience with Hisoka "fanservice," so to speak. This won't be the last of it, either. lol


That aside, impressive episode. If I remember correctly, the '99 series never explained Hisoka's Bungee Gum and Texture Surprise in such detail. The explanation was a little long, but still interesting nonetheless. Yet again, Hisoka shows how awesome he is. Great fight too!

I wouldn't call it strategy at all...Hisoka is really just a crazy mofo that gets off at being in potentially fatal situations lol. I think he was disappointed at Kastro's current strength and decided to "spice" it up a bit.

Damn, so that's a battle between those experienced in Nen. Looks like Hisoka's opponent really did die in a frenzied dance, oh Hisoka you're such a clown! His tie to the Phantom Troupe is surprising, but it's even more interesting that he's just using them for whatever pleasures he's cooking up.

And jeez, Hisoka actually looks like a normal bad ass without the circus costume. But his rape faces wouldn't be as wonderful without it!
