Not much happened action-wise, although it looks like the next few episodes will be filled with that. Lots of new characters, too. 4/5

Fucking chills. Everyone and more that I wanted this new anime to do with this arc. OST's and animation is totally in line with the vibe this arc is setting.

I'm a bit bothered with Feitan's appearance. I always thought that among the members, he has the most "bandit-like" look. But here it's as if he has flu.

I'm pretty happy with Mamoru Miyano as Chrollo since I always find his voice charismatic. ♥

They didn't in the manga till now, and they probably won't, the plot is moving far away from that. Besides, they're thieves why would they go back to Heaven's Arena to win money? That arena wasn't really that important, the floor masters weren't introduced. But I think there might be a possibility that a movie would be released about them, but not the one they already announced, probably a new one after a while.

Isn't it crazy they united the voices of L, Light and Near from Death Note? Not to mention putting Tobi's seiyu and Blackbeard's all into one badass villain group. Though I also think Near's voice for Shalnark seemed off. The last guy who voiced Chrollo did a better job as well I believe, but hearing Light say KOROSU again brings warmth to my heart.

Here's the scenes if anyone cares to see it:

Finally, my 2nd favorite arc is beginning! I honestly just want to see Kurapica's badass moments but I also love the Genei Ryodan. I'm sure will see more of them once Togashi continues with his manga (hopefully sometime soon though I doubt it).

It's more of just a nice reference to Togashi's other works which include Yu Yu.

Yeah, and YYH doesn`t need a remake. It was a great adaptation, and if you can get a hold on a HD version, it`s all you need.

OT:

Shalnarks voice was ok. Uvogin sounded too much like nice guy Rider. His prev was better. Need to get used to Feitan (hope Kappei can speak Chinese). Chrollo's prev was also better, but this one isn't bad at all.
Overall a good episode, but the real fun of Yorkshin hasn't started yet.

Not going to lie I was shocked when I heard Shalnark's voice as well. I expected his nerdy kind of voice from before, he sounds like he is 5. But he is still awesome anyway.

Phinks had the coolest voice in my opinion

PUU!! Great Episode.

Chrollo is the man.


Voices were good overall. Shalnark's was a little geeky, but we'll all probably get used to it. It's refreshing to hear Romi Paku voice someone other than a teenage male for once, and Mamoru Miyano's awesome as usual.

This is where the fun begins. =)

The music got a much needed upgrade, I see. It's got the epic tone this arc deserves. I kind of like the voices for the most part. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the rest.

The phantom troupe voices... just... just.. they ruined them ;-; and i had big expectations for this arc. >_>


Bit disappointed since they changed some things. Colours are different. Karupica looks less cool than in the 90's( I recall he had blue eyes than and not grey, also hairstyle changed for the worse) and so does the Phantom group(they messed up some hair colours with where better in the 90's). So far 90's series is still better.

So now Phantom Trope stats here?
This episode was good into great. Man, Hisoka came into the Phantom Trope, all of a sudden things will get pretty juicy.
The boss eh. Thought will be a dude. Even I saw her age on MAL I hope she won't be very annoying.
The first half was nice. Wasn't suspected Gon and Killua into the bar.
Kurapika is awesome as always. Man that eye he keeps noticing. Will be very interesting on what he will do.
Next preview yay Leario is back! I miss him.

Great way to introduce the phantom troupe!

I love Neon's character design. She is really cute; you don't really expect her to be a "boss" of the underworld... or to have a hobby of collecting body parts.

At last the phantom troupe reveals them selfs and the Nostrade group is formed. Kurapica is finally going to put his skills to use. This arc is truly something special focusing on not only kurapica's ties and connection to the phantom troupe but also just how fearsome the phantom troupe really is. Up untill now, the hunters have never experienced anyone so dangerous. That all will be proven in the upcoming episodes.

Neon's moe look is an incredible contrast (anyone recall "Don't judge a book by its cover"?). I get the feeling she's a lot darker than what we're currently seeing.

We finally get an introduction to the Phantom Troupe. It seems Hisoka is wanting to fight the chief guy. Anyway, given the ship captain's description of them near the beginning of the series, things are probably going to turn sour really, really fast once they move.

Here we go....

So those are the member of the Phantom Troupe? I must say that the chief constantly appearing in the OP was making me unconfortable. He looks fishy.

The boss sure isn't like what I thought he(she) would be like. But in the end, it change pretty much nothing because she's the one who ask for all these creepy object, so she can't be an innocent young girl.

Franken looks like earlobes from One Piece while Feitan looks like Levi with a bandana.

The Phantom Troupe group looks like a bunch of clowns, they don't have that kind of condescending look as most antagonist groups have.
