| Suddenly, Dutch angles, hundreds of them. Seriously, I don't remember earlier eps having so much Dutch Angles, at least not in non-fighting scenes. Madhouse overdid it a bit I think. |
| I prefer german angles |
| End Zionazism |
| ...Let's just take a moment to appreciate that Hisoka was standing in front of a window. Stark naked. Someone got a great view of his glowing crotch... o___o;; The animation for the fight so far's outstanding, so fluid owo. I was just watching and thinking "wow". Poor Zushi XD always getting left behind. So happy my HxH's back! I missed it so much asdghfjdkssjhfjdks. I can't WAIT for the Spider arc... and we're nearly there... yes yes yessss~ |
| That kicked the ass of the 1999 version of Gon's first hit on Hisoka. Two thumbs way the fuck up, Madhouse. Also, FUCK YEAH, SHINING HISOKA CROTCH THIS EARLY. SCHWING. |
Holy. Mother. Of. God. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Kyaa! Hisoka fan service! LOL |
| My goodness, what an incredibly awesome and epic fast-paced fight. So much pedo moments too. Can't wait til Killua retakes the test, from what I remember... it gave me a very good laugh. |
| I loved that!! Intense fighting - I'm glad the announcer didn't have a chance to comment. Water test = love. Hisoka actually has really hot eyes after he got punched. XD LOL. "I'm getting turned on!" Hisoka. XD |

| Wow, that was some superb animation. |
| awesome |
| I'm really glad with how they animated those battle scenes...totally epic...but gon should be careful from Hisoka's shining crotch hahaha. Loved the water test and Gons glass breaking And I can't wait to see more Kurapika...his BAness has began, can't wait to see his chains in action XD |
 |
| Excellent episode. That one week break was well worth it. |
 |
 That was definitely worth the extra week of waiting. Hatsu and Nen is pretty deep with all the types. I dont think it was explained that well though. Like are attacks of one type just weak to another type, or can people master multiple types or just use skills from them, can one change types. What does a transmuter even do? Hope they explore Killua sometime soon as thats way more interesting than enhance in the context of fighting. The Hisoka part was hilarious and especially win hunterpedia did it too. But GON is plain awful, definitely becoming one of the worst lead protagonists of the year |

Gon cant win! training for 4 months does not make you top tier fighter like Hisoka Gon is still way to weak and will have to train way more than that to take Hisoka down but still, you cant deny the progress he made in the tower, he broke the glass for god sake anyhow, amazing animations! i cant help but to imagine the dodge ball game it will be AWESOME <3 |

But GON is plain awful, definitely becoming one of the worst lead protagonists of the year Hunter x Hunter is unlike any other shonen , Gon is no Ichigo nor Naruto to get 2482703 times stronger and beat the bad guy if HxH was Generic Gon would Defeat Chrollo Lucifer just by getting angry or friendship power :D |

But GON is plain awful, definitely becoming one of the worst lead protagonists of the year One does not simply pull stuff out of ass in HxH That's one of the reasons gon craps on other shounen heroes I buy it when he beats opponents because you can see that he's progressing and not just caracters saying "wow le progress!" @ssjathena Chrollo! Dont mess with my Nakama! *HP bar is maxed + powarZ* XD |

whyisthis said: @27cansoftuna Did you forget that it was said that Hisoka already knew about nen even before the Hunter exam? Hisoka has been training for years and even after 340 or so chapters of the manga, Gon is still nowhere near as powerful as Hisoka. This isn't like Bleach where characters gain a 10x powerboost after doing absolutely nothing. Which is why HxH is so awesome. It's soooo generic when a character is getting the shit beat outta him for an episode only to somehow manage get that power-up and end up winning. It makes it much more satisfying when the character actually slowly progresses and becomes stronger over time. Gon is a kid and Hisoka has much more training behind him clearly. |
| Great episode~ Hisoka's turning on scene was just creepy....I m looking forward to the awesome fights :) |
| the only time ive ever gotten excited about a fight that is truly intense is kid buu vs goku. their first exchange had the same sort of intensity as this one. haha the announcer and judge had a hard time following the fight and calling hits. he barely managed to call that one hit. as for Gon being weak, he just neared about Nen when every hunter in the world already posess it. that alone makes him weak. he is, in addition to that, inexperienced in Nen use and fighting. that makes him doubly weak. |

| Wow, Madhouse has my respect now in this, they amazingly animated the fight, loved it :D |
 |
| uff the animation didn't disappoint this is just the begining lol hope they dont forget to give us blood bath later hisoka is not pedofile, you will know why he acts like that on next episode, i think. 5/5 |

But GON is plain awful, definitely becoming one of the worst lead protagonists of the year I think no matter how gifted Gon is, it is rather farfetched to think that he could 'destroy' Hisoka with just four months of training. Not only has Hisoka been training for many many years, I think he might be just like Gon and Killua being the 'one in a ten million'. On another note, I am very happy with the Hisoka fan service in this episode. He is definitely my favorite character in Hunter x Hunter. Although they really do make him seem like a pedophile! I dont think he's necessarily a pedophile just that he gets turned on my power and strong opponents regardless of age or gender. Hope we will get to see more of him! |
| This fight was awesome!! I was really proud of Gon when he landed that punch on Hisoka : ) |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| HOLY FREAKIN COW. DAT ANIMATION |
| LOL @ the Swing or whatever, and then a white spot over his boner :P Awesome ep :D Had to actually clap(3 times) for Gon for actually managing to move Hisoka :P |
 |
| Oh, damn, damn, damn! GREAT episode!!!!! Well, they are trying to keep the tension by saying "Gon is about to experience Hisoka's true power" in the conclusion, but even if Hisoka crushed him next episode, Gon 1: passed the exam, 2: passed the secret exam, 3: punched Hisoka. He finally met all 2 (plus his personal third) requirements to rightfully call himself a Hunter. |
| That punch. This fight made me so excited again! |

| Look at when gon is hiding, he gas no aura around him; Zetsu! Awesome details |
| End Zionazism |
| Shining crotch > shining finger? |
| Dam man Gon is a beast. Madhouse definitely did a good job on the first half of the fight. I liked every bit of it. Especially when Gon picked up the slab to sneak in a punch. This shit is making me to anxious. We need to be at episode 120 already! lol |
| Okay, I never really cared that Madhouse decided to animate HxH again. I was like... WHY AM I WATCHING THIS AGAIN? The first anime was perfectly fine. Until this episode. Yep. DAT ANIMATION. I cannot wait for the next arc. If only every week would come by more quickly. By the way, I'm too lazy to quote anything but the comment about Gon not beating Hisoka. I think you should just stop now. You aren't going to see a 12 year old beat up experienced nen users with 4 months of practice. Just stick to Bleach. |

| I gave it a 5... I just wish that it was just a little slower in plot development... more episodes for character development. You don't chug a glass of fine wine, do you? I don't! Gotta love it! |

Gotta love it! Hunter X Hunter (1999) would like to have a word with you. It's better than 2011 in every way except for graphic quality, in my opinion ofc. |

It's better than 2011 in every way except for graphic quality, in my opinion ofc. *sigh* Guys, you've been watching HxH for 30+ episodes already. Haven't it become obvious to you that the "character development" you're looking for comes hand in hand with the "plot development"? As the story progresses, we gradually learn more of the characters and what makes them tick through how they think and act on situations. Hunter x Hunter is not like any other typical shounen that for you to understand a character (his personality/motives), they tell you their lifestory. Togashi employs the "show" not the "tell". Togashi actually made his stance on the flashback / tragic past trope prevalent on shounen series through Hisoka - he doesn't care about the past because the past doesn't interest him. The 1999 series though just did the "telling" (establishing the characters) right from the start w/c created problems down the line. --- On a happy note, I love this episode because THAT ANIMATION and Hisoka's pedo vibes was included. I was sure it wouldn't be included so I was really surprised. |

The 1999 series though just did the "telling" (establishing the characters) right from the start w/c created problems down the line. And under the assumption we have free will and different opinions, just because one version is closer to Togashi's vision doesn't mean any person here has to like or prefer that version. The 1999 created no problems down the line. |

| LOL 1999 created no problems.... The 1999 series added extra continents to world map that don't exist and contradict the manga.   The real world map (for new fans don't click) Major spoiler below v |

The 1999 series added extra continents to world map that don't exist and contradict the manga. Other than not being what Togashi drew or not being how it is in the manga, what is the problem created by the 1999 world map? |
