Is there a license to kill or assassination rules or something that makes it different?

Biskit is a sadist. lol.

Kinda felt sorry for binolt, all he wanted to do was kill and chop 3 little kids to pieces but instead got turned into a training whore :D

Good episode as usual, I love the sound track. The fight with Binlot(?) was enjoyable, the best part of the episode was the part where Gon was eating and showed he can't keep the rocks from falling on his head.

Pacing was too fast but Madhouse lived to its expectations. Animation was indeed clear and smooth, the fight scenes were definitely well done, just that the tension decreased a lot as compared to the Manga. It was still a very enjoyable episode, despite some flaws.

Cuticle Detective made an appearance this week, huh.

I don't mind Madhouse speeding through this part of the manga. HxH has never been about training arcs that takes 20 or more episodes anyway.
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it!

Everyone seems to be fine with it, but the fast pacing kinda ruined it for me. I think this arc would have been better if they didn't speed through everything like that.
In the manga this arc was about 50% than the hunter exam arc, but Madhouse seems hellbent on making it shorter.

Also, in the manga Binolt vomitted a shit-ton of blood when Biske hit him, chapter 137-138 if you're interested ;)

As many have said, better than the last one. Pacing is a bit fast for my liking, I enjoy slow pace more in the anime I watch (think for example Spice and Wolf), but it wasn't too bad in this episode. I miss many scenes from the other anime, but I guess if I recall correctly most of them were fillers anyway.

I'm personally a fan of training arcs, so I'm a little sad that the pacing is so fast I wish that the fight with Binolt would of took up the whole episode. I also think the Binolt's bloodlust should of been increased in the beginning, and because the fight was so fast we didn't get to see Binolt's transformation of character as well as it could of been. But it was still an enjoyable episode!

I'm guessing that this is going to go fairly similar to the Hunter Exam arc where it will feel really fast for the first portion but will eventually slow down and find its way. At least that's what I'm hoping...

Looks like the boys have made Bisky rock hard kukuku [Pun #1]

Holy shit why is everything going at lightning speed, the quality of this show has hit rock bottom kukuku [Pun #2]

The greatness of the Yorkshin Arc makes Greed Island very amateurish.

Great episode as always. This ED always manages to put a smile on my face.

People complain about the fast pace compared to the original, but as someone who hasn't seen the original OVA or read the manga, I think it's fine.

If you go back to earlier episodes, you'll see that Killua's goal is to become a Blacklist Hunter and capture and sell off his family.

Really good episode, i loved gons face when killua got slapped, its funny every time xD

Really like this so far, i have extremely high expectations for this show, perhaps too high. I dont want to read ahead with this though for some reason, I happily read ahead with one piece but reading this just doesn't feel the same for some reason.
Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead?

Yea, I actually suggest you don't read ahead since you'll just feel really offended with the Anime producers breezing through some scenes which you want to see in motion with greater or at least equal tension as the Manga. They make it seem like this is a joke with the extreme pacing. Maybe just watching the Anime for now will do more good.

Great episode, I really love Biscuit's training method, she really wants to "polish" them. The fighting was cool, as well as the running and digging. Really like the ending, too (although it's not anything new, I know).
5/5.

BISCUIT IS 57?! How has she managed to slow down/stop her aging process?!

And, Binolt's back-story made me tear up a little. No wonder he became a criminal. What's the point in doing the right thing when you're just going to get brutally beat down for it?

Fun fact: Bisky is Togashi's homage to Sailor Moon, his wife's (Naoko-san's) work. He really adores his wife.

As always, excellent work MH!

So I was waiting for one of those rare character-defining moments for Gon and it wasn't there.

Hey, people who bashed 99 for "whitewashing" of Gon? Care to explain how 2011 missed that part?



Care to explain why they added the scene where Binolt gives up his scissors?


Anyway, God I hate this arc. I hated it in manga, in 99 and in everything.

I wanted to see Gons reaction. I wanted to see he understand and doesn't care. They cut that out. I saw people refer to that part as one of the character defining moment for Gon. Guess Madhouse knows better than manga fans and Togashi, that talentless hack [/sarcasm].

Wow, this episode was a whole lot of fun which is something I couldn't say about Yorknew, as excellent as it was, with all the dying and all. I credit a lot of this with Biscuit and her interactions with the boys. She's a bad ass btw.
