THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Talks about video games and use of computers just seem so unreal in this series. I guess that Killua's brother ended up being a fat otaku, not an assassin like the rest of his family.

Another episode that flew by without me realizing it! Next week is the start of the arc a lot of us have been waiting for : )

Random Thoughts

Seeing Ging on a big monster which was sitting on an even bigger monster was awesome

Cassette tapes are old even in Hunter x Hunter's universe?

Preview for the next episode omg!!! This week is going to be painful

Hunter x Hunter world is basically in 2012. They have tablets, internet, everything.

An average person in HxH world would be almost like anyone of us. It just happens that we are seeing the story of really weird people.

Ging was younger when he recorded the tape, so if we take within the universe, it makes perfect sense.

Its not that I don't care about Mito, well I kind of don't, cause I really want to know who Gon's mother really is. When he pushed stop on that player, I was "NOooooo", but he did it anyways. Now I'll have to wait who knows how long to find out, or maybe I'll never find out : (
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

Ging is really awesome, information about him are gonna be shown in each of the next 2 arcs.

so the foreshadowing of Greed Island arc is already here, and looks like there's no recaps next week, but seriously

From the animation I could say Madhouse are gonna do a great job on YN arc, like they promised.

It's funny that a story drawn in the 1990s makes more sense in a 2010s setting. Was expecting Killua to have a smartphone. His cell phone looks so crappy; even a calculator looks much better

Ahh another nice, relaxed episode. I like that they took their time making the Whale Island episodes really nicely paced, like adding small things like the meal at the end and all the cute shots of Mito popping up. I feel like the animators just wanted her to have more screentime XD;;.

And THE PREVIEW AHSJFKDSHJKFLDSA--

They're not throwing a recap on us omg I'm so happy right now. I can't WAIT for this arc

This episode is ep.47 in the old version, but next episode is ep.45 and 48, they showed an episode of Kurapika before Gon & Killua returned home.

Great foreshadowing of the Greed Island arc in this episode. Can't wait for Gon and Killua to meet back up with Kurapika and Leorio again! It's been too long since we've seen them. I also can't wait to see Kurapika go HAM on some spiders! lol.

I know this might be a shock to the younger viewers, but we had both Internet and tablets in the nineties. In fact, unless Madhouse changes something, you'll see a very amusing version of what people in the nineties thought it was going to be like, as well as some page designs that represent what is was like back then.

Actually in the manga in between volume 1-13 (which were drawn in the late 90's, early 2000's), there was no laptop in HxH world and the computer they used were still ones with the thick table-top monitors. And the cellphone were how they looked back in the 90's. And Wing showed Gon hisoka's fight with a video tape. It was Madhouse who upgraded it to laptops and DVDs in this anime.

However, by the latest manga chapters drawn this year, people in the HxH world were all using laptops, tablets and smartphones. And they have a youtube called 'itube'. So Togashi is just upgrading the HxH technology along the way as years pass.

Who else finds it funny that Gon's island has internet, yet people there still travel by ships that look like remnants of the 17th Century

It is so odd to see videogames and laptops and auction sites in this anime, or for some reason to me. And then having explanations of what an indie game is, Killua really knows his videogames and then getting mad at the developer too.

But all it really made me do was just wonder who or what in the world is Greed Island, especially if its worth so much, and what brother is doing, and Baterro?

An assassin is basically someone who murders for profit.
I wouldn't be surprised in slightest if he has his own murder methods.

I'm from the nineties too. At that time Internet existed, but its popularity wasn't even closer to what it's now.
In the nineties it was somethings for companies, and for geeks.

Also, as they said above, in the manga this scene had 1999 technology. Madhouse updated it to 2012.

Following this cast announcement, they revealed that the Phantom Troupe arc would begin on the 15th of July. Not only that but the arc will mark a significantly more mature turn in the series’ tone and the level of violence will be increased as per the story of the arc.

Oh my, I was already excited about this upcoming arc... but now I don't think I can contain it.

If there's one studio that does dark and mature series well it's Madhouse(Death Note, Supernatural,Kurozuka to name a few) The 15th can't come any sooner
