The rest of the episode (nen bullets and stuff) felt kinda rushed IMO.


Huh? How does firing 2 bullets feel "rushed"....were you expecting a minute of flashbacks or what?

Anyways, another awesome episode 5/5


Pakunoda was revealing an important ability and there wasn't even a moment's pause to appreciate its significance. It was like, "here memory bullets" and then BAM next scene.


You said it, BAM...as in bullet. Nothing special or needs time about the ability.

The OVA spent half the episode showing full flashbacks as memories :P

Well, actually, NA did that in the previous version, but I didn't expect MH to do the same. After all, the manga has only one panel for the flashback itself. It's just that I found everything after Squala's death too fast, you know, like the director said "crap, we only have two minutes left for this episode, let's just cram in as much as we can." The cliffhanger choice feels odd. But again, that's just an opinion and still doesn't ruin the episode for me.
Pakunoda was revealing an important ability and there wasn't even a moment's pause to appreciate its significance. It was like, "here memory bullets" and then BAM next scene.

Couldn't have said it better. If they hadn't removed the people in the other cars (who appear in the manga) it would've been less noticeable. Also, this is mostly nitpicking but the fact that they used some wierdly animated bullets (they're not slo-mo but you can still see them, just watch the rain) didn't do much for me.

Nah I don't mean an entire minute of flashbacks (OVA 1's pacing sucked ass), just a directional touch to dwell over Pakunoda's ability.

Look at how Madhouse did Coltopi looking for the scarlet eyes through En. There was an entire animated sequence for it which added to the "oh shit you're fucked" feeling. I simply hoped there was also some suspense regarding Pakunoda. After all, a character just revealed an ability that could possibly be a threat to main characters. I wish the audience was given time to breath and realize its significance instead of proceeding to the next scene like nothing happened.

This is my view, if you disagree and think the pacing is perfectly fine, then cool.

SQUALA!!! *cries* His death was sad, especially when he set the dogs free.

And damn you, Kurapika!! Look what your raging impulsiveness has done! Now Gon and Killua are captured. I hope Pakunoda doesn't touch them again.

Geez.. the suspense. I have to pause it first and drink water when Chrollo sensed that someone was tailing them. What an intensity.

And I've been watching since 12AM. It's already 2PM now but I can't stop. it just gets better and better!

Another best episode in this series.
Damn, does someone saw Kurapika's clothing? I wonder if he was actually be a female with correct voice actor in the first beginning episodes,then this will be totally perfect in this episode. Wish it will be just like that.
Damn, I was actually like the dog man. His dogs are so awesome with they carry the food to him. Shame that he died.
Oh my god, the situation to everyone was so entertaining that I want to see the final fight to this arc now.

Very minor point-wonder if anyone else caught on but there was one thing that made me chuckle in this episode. In a scene where Phantom Troupe are riding a train:As far as I can tell, in a Hunter x Hunter world, most regular people dress the same way we do. The way PT guys dresses stuck out like sore thumb in a sea of normally-dressed people in Yorknew XD.

I understand that in HxH world, there are some people that are dressed in some crazy get ups but to see PT in a sea of normal people made me laugh a little.

Looks like the phantom troupe finally acquired the identity of the chain user and now gon and killua are both captured leaving kurapica and melody to some how find a way of freeing them. Looking forward to the last two episodes.

You know, since I haven't mentioned it- it's nice to see some villains with common sense. Six Troupe members going after who they think to be the chain user may be "overkill", but it's a lot smarter than sending one or even two guys at a time, like in most shounen.

I felt bad for Squala. He moved too much. ._.;

I also feel bad for Killua, who seems to be the only one appreciating the risk they've been taking. He's fully aware of how dangerous simply tailing the Troupe members is. His comment on Kurapika's recklessness was something I appreciated... and he was right. He and Gon got caught because of it. Kurapika's going to have to get his head on straight if he's to stand a chance.

I don't see how this arc could finish in two episodes. What the crap is about to happen?

Awwwn, poor dog dude... :(
Nobunaga is a bit too quick on the sword x)
It's not like he was of any danger.

Gon and Killua are once again in a shitty situation, this time because of Kurapika. Kurapika rage really is a double edge sword, as it can put his entourage in some messy situation.

Whatever happens next episode, shit's going down.
