Great episode. Badass Uvo scream. He crushed those bugs.
Interesting in the end. How does Kurapika think to match the Phantom Troupe, though? :D

Let's nitpick first:

Right before worm pulled uvo underground, the punch by Uvo that landed on worm took out 1 eye and a handful of teeth, and they censored it :/ Oh well not a problem


The rest of the episode was pure win xD The bullet, the scream, the BIG BANG IMPACT (I love the font they used for the screen name).

5/5 and even more

That was pretty cool, the whole fight was dragged out and slower paced than the original anime, but thats fine too! xD
It was different but still awesome!

I still liked it better when everyone's Nen had their own colour.. (Gon yellow and Killua purple)

They do! But just Hatsu this time, or Ren but that depends on the emosional status. Ten is however is the same, transparent white :D

OMG the music was just so terrible in this episode. It's all clown and circus music. Even worse than the remake of FMA music. I don't see how anyyone who has seen the original series can actually think this new show can even hold a candle to it. I recently rewatched the old one and it is 100x better. The directing, the pacing, the animation (the 2011 is technically better, but flash animation is flash animation), the art, the atmosphere and mood, the color palette, the voice casting and acting, the dialogue. Just. EVERYTHING.

Even senritsu's flute solo was better in the original. Everything looks like a joke and is animated like a joke, aimed for children or not, with fun gameshow giant kanji. I did not even have a shred of care for Kurapica's revenge or his emotions at the end of this episode. They may be trying to tell the same story, but if I had watched the 2011 version first, I would've dropped it a long time ago. It's the feelings and associations from the old show that keep the new one bearable.

If you haven't seen the old show, I suggest you do that first. It's literally 100x better. I'm just waiting to see what happens since the 2011 show will go beyond what the old one covered. I have no idea why they even bothered to animate from the beginning when the old one did it 100x better and the stuff they cover is identical. They should've just rebroadcast the old one and made a new show starting from where the OVAs left off. At least FMA had a reason to start from the beginning since so much of the old show was not canon. They at least got most of the main cast back too. Beyond a few fillers which were awesome in the old show, the 2011 Hunter X Hunter is identical in the material covered, done super poorly in comparison if I haven't made that point clear enough.

Rant Rant new show sux. Rant Rant. Get to the new stuff already. Rant.

OMG that clown music is the worst music I've heard in an anime yet. Off the top of my head.

Indeed, great atmosphere, color pallete, and it targets adults. Your argument is very very valid.




I mean just look at Killua's killer face in the old version.

HOLY FREAKING COW THAT WAS AWESOME!!! Best episode yet and there's STILL more epicness to come!!!

My only nitpick (keep in mind that this is very, VERY minor) would be that the peaceful illusion created through Senritsu's music could've appeared more peaceful. I mean, what was up with the grey sky? That made me feel so unsettled XD (but I guess that was just to prove it was an illusion...)

Anyway, this episode overall was beyond satisfying.

Random thoughts:

-I loooove Uvo's new voice actor. He's doing an amazing job! <3

-My wish came true! The Spiders were shown playing cards! :D

- THE VIOLENCE!! I was actually squirming because it was depicted so well!

-Loving the family vibe of the Spiders. (lol Because of that, it was hard for me to explain to my mom who were the good guys and bad guys in this episode XD)

-Loved Kurapika's beyond-angry expressions here. So intense and so well-drawn! (I'm enchanted by how a mere drawing can emulate such intensity!!)

-Senritsu's peaceful melody is so eerily soothing to a point that it's almost haunting. Kinda reminds me of the Healing Song from Majora's Mask (Legend of Zelda reference ftw)

-I need to focus on school so it's good that HxH is delayed for 2 weeks but still...ARGH! SOO MUCH TO LOOK FORWARD TO!!

I believe you're one of the few who are not liking this show (and ranting), as you can see from the poll above obviously.
Even senritsu's flute solo was better in the original. Everything looks like a joke and is animated like a joke, aimed for children or not, with fun gameshow giant kanji. I did not even have a shred of care for Kurapica's revenge or his emotions at the end of this episode.

That's like, your opinion isn't it?
If you haven't seen the old show, I suggest you do that first. It's literally 100x better. I'm just waiting to see what happens since the 2011 show will go beyond what the old one covered. I have no idea why they even bothered to animate from the beginning when the old one did it 100x better and the stuff they cover is identical.

Beyond a few fillers which were awesome in the old show, the 2011 Hunter X Hunter is identical in the material covered, done super poorly in comparison if I haven't made that point clear enough.
How are the material covered in both adaptations identical? Do you know that Mito is Ging's cousin NOT Gon's aunt? Do you know that Gon's mum is NOT confirmed dead? And there was that Hisoka vs Kastro fight, was it covered in the old version? Oh wait, it was, like 5 minutes.

Rant Rant new show sux. Rant Rant. Get to the new stuff already. Rant.
That summarizes your post, basically it's just ranting.

It's really tiresome comparing the 2 versions, why can't you people just watch it without comparing? The old version had it's time and was great, I watched it and it was the best thing I watched in my childhood, but we're not in 1999 anymore, we're in 2012 and it's the new version of Hunter x Hunter, with new animation, new OST, and new rules in the anime industry.

Kumo attaching girl certainly looks better in old version.
She looks too young. Why did they even change the color ?

Kurapica voice is better in old version. Sounds so much like a girl instead of a bishounen.

Did a really good job on the hole digging monsters look though.

This anime is all brutal and gross. The hole in the guys skull from the piece of skull, or just biting the one dude's part of his head off! ouch. Big Nen Explosion is one of the best moves.

I admit in the origional HxH form 99 I thought they handled the york new arc horribly, it felt incredibly rushed in many places and incredibly dragging in others, I just never cared about it...and don't even mention how the 99 anime ended it, it was like they remembered they had 1 episode left and just stuffed every single part of the arc remaining into one episode just for a conclusion.
So to my suprise I am actually enjoying the 2011 version of this arc a lot, it has been handled better than the 99 version in my opinion and I hope it keeps this stride up.

This episode was great! Especially loved the twisted part when Uvo bit Leech's head off. And Kurapika finally gets some screen time as the main character.
Looks like Hisoka will, too, in the next episode.

Yeah people need to stop bringing up the 1999 as some sort of source material for the 2011 version. They're 2 seperate animes like Crandor pointed out. Learn to appreciate HxH as a whole and not by the 2 adaptations...Anyways I watched the episode for the second time and somehow it was 10x better... Can't wait... theres gonna be cliffhangers left and right in this arc... lol

@Mikasa I actually like the old Killua's killer face more than the new one though...the new one is way over the top. The other one does less but delivers the same impact, noone was in doubt what he was thinking when he saw that face back then. The new one really needs to scream out "look I'm making a killer face" to catch attention.

Atleast that's how I see it.

Lmao @ the little strip on Page 2.

Anyways, I don't remember much from this part of the series so when he bit off his face and ate it, it shocked me. I know it doesn't have a load of blood but is this still PG-13 with all this?
