| Phantom troupe ftw! It's always nice to see them in action. I'm looking forward to see Feitan's fight. |
 |
| The obligatory fanservice episode... well more like fan pandering. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Either they were playing around or have lost their touch. So much struggle just for mere soldiers, meh. |
sanjayts said: Either they were playing around or have lost their touch. So much struggle just for mere soldiers, meh. Did it look like any of them were actually struggling to you? |
| Waited 2 whole years for this episode and the next one, just to see the Troupe's fights animated. Plus for me, even though it was clearly a pandering to the fans type of spot in both the manga and the anime, this was the last good part for a bit so I'm gonna enjoy it. |
| Oh man finally I had been waiting for this part to be animated for years. Highlight of the Chimera Ant Arc, love the Phantom Troupe. I would watch a spin-off just about them if they made it. Anyways really good episode, next one will be even better. 5/5 |
 |
| Damn the Phantom Troupe doesn't mess around, loved seeing them in action again. Makes me wanna see Chrollo again. Hell, I wanna see Kurapika get in on this too along with Hisoka. |
 |
| Bold letter Hisoka always. |
 |
| That's only the second time I've seen the acronym UMA. I didn't know what it meant until Katekyo Hitman Reborn!. It was nifty getting to see the Troupe's skills! |
| 眠れないのは君のせい |
| anything ryodan related is always welcome ... liked the break from gon and killua ...loved that swordplay scene at the end ... but i'd be more happier if they had rather made entry in the next arc in some way that matters ...maybe in a style that made a " gennei ryodan impact " more relevant ...not just for 1, 2 episodes only... well, i basically forgot what happened when they made cameo in this arc , waiting for the next episode to see the end ... phantom troupe rocks, papers , scissors ....amen |

| I liked these chapters in the Manga and this episode was pretty well done. Shalnark and Bonolenov definitely made the episode. We finally get to see the nen abilities of the Phantom Troupe. Before we knew they were BAMFs, now we know why. Can't wait for next episode. |
BattousaiLuffy said: Bonolenov just threw a planet at that ant holy shit! That was damn awesome. Loved this episode,Feitan was pretty badass,seeing him again made me fangirl a bit ngl. |
| did he just spawned a fucking planet? |
| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |
| Good episode lol Shalnark Going Super Saiyan |
 |
| holy shit many things happened this time, we saw Shalnark becomes Super Saiyan, and Brook the mommy version threw a planet on the poor ant.. lol I really want to see Feitan in action but looks that i have to wait another 7 fucking days to that,, good job animating this episode, MadHouse |
 |
| I'm excited for some Shizuku service next ep. |

| I laughed a lot when Phink's opponent started badmouthing him. The difference in power was too much to keep a straight face at. |

AzurePisces said: i read the manga but seeing it in anime amaze me.. they did a very good job animating it.. the voice of that boxer guy with many holes in the body looks like the same as brook.. amazing episode.. Now that you mention it. He dosnt have voice actor updated on MAL but this is brooks vocie actor: http://myanimelist.net/people/898/Cho |
| I really like Bonolenov, like how he has pride of his tribe, and the things he says. makes me wonder why someone like him is in Genei Ryodan. |
 |
| was dying to see all the troupe's abilities,so far i think their all on par so far but maybe Bonolenov being one of the stronger ones?. |
 |
| Not bad fights, but I really wanted lots of cool, fluid animations. , and HorribleSub's preview had a little mistake when Killua spoke backwards, it showed ".noG, eurS", which is Srue, Gon. I'm just pointing it out, not like I really care too much. |
 |
BattousaiLuffy said: Bonolenov just threw a planet at that ant holy shit! ^That was awesome! However, those holes in Bonolenov are just disgusting. Please wrap him back up. I don't ever want to see that again. |
 |
| It's always nice to see Ryodan in action since their skills haven't explained thoroughly. Did Bono just throw a whole planet to kill one bug? There's no kill like overkill, lmao. Shalnark's antenna reminds me of Illumi's needle, guess manipulators love carrying injection supplies with them. And damn Feitan with his badass swordplay, I can't wait to see his full fight! |
| EPIC!!!!!!! Genei Ryodan stole the show. They are OP!!! What happen to the other members of the Ryodan? Nobunaga, Machi, Koltopi, and Franklin?? |
NewHJ said: sanjayts said: Either they were playing around or have lost their touch. So much struggle just for mere soldiers, meh. I agree, I had already read the manga, but after seeing this again, they looked pretty weak, what is not true. cmon man this isnt dbz or naruto the fights in HXH are complicated and as Morel said any nen user can win a battle. How did they even struggle? they all destroyed the ants only 2 of em even got injuries. |
 |
sanjayts said: Either they were playing around or have lost their touch. So much struggle just for mere soldiers, meh. Are you sure we were watching the same thing? they were pretty much unscathed except Shalnark and even then he pretty much obliterated the ant once he gets serious plus he's not exactly the battle type. Bonolenov and Phinks basically one hit their opponent while Kalluto was toying around. Also.. |

I cannot even fathom as to how you guys think they looked weak. |

Reme-Chan said: Can someone please answer me , killua's sister/brother is girl or a boy? I mean in this anime? They give him a girly voice I'm just confused.. :/ Unluckily he is a boy. |

I cannot even fathom as to how you guys think they looked weak. they're blinded by generic shonen power rankings. To them, the Phantom Troupe are like the Espada from Bleach facing some low level scrub hollows. They were probably expecting some half assed animation where the PT just stand still in the frame while we see the ants getting dismembered/melting on the spot because of "the spiders were too fast and so strong their eyes couldn't keep up" bullshit. LOL. But Hunter x Hunter has done that before (with the Phantom Troupe, no less), so what on Earth are you talking about? |

Saburo-kun said: Don't be expecting such a thing when the Korean animation teams are involved....Not bad fights, but I really wanted lots of cool, fluid animations. |
  |
| Hell yes. Everything was pretty much fabulous. I expect this being a short arc inside the bigger Chimera's ant. |

parfaited said: She renamed herself Queen AND got a boob job. LOL, that was on my mind the entire time I watched the episode. It was an okay episode, I didn't like the super sayian power thing that phantom member had, I actually don't like him in the first place so it makes sense. I wish Nobunaga was there, I like him the most in the troupe after Feitan. The pace is a bit slow, I hoped they would get rid of the ''fake'' queen quickly and maybe move to more important matters. 4/5.

I don't see any difference. The phantom troupe ARE insanely strong and the characters they faced are low level ants, so the fights shouldn't have taken that long, but I guess they did because we were introduced to their Nen powers albeit most of them weren't interesting and didn't need a lot of explanation imo. They did look a bit weak imo, if you compare them to the king and his royal guards. |

If it weren't, then how could they maintain a false sense of superiority over Bleach fans? Incidentally, I don't even like Bleach all that much and behind YYH, HxH is my favorite shonen anime. But y'know, skip over all that. Let's just keep living up to stereotypes. Listen: Plotwise HxH is on another level from your typical shonen anime. But let's not pretend like they don't employ similar animation techniques. We had an entire episode where they just obliterated the mafia expending zero effort and it was glorious, but you can't tell me you've never seen ANYTHING LIKE IT in a shonen series before. |

| I don't know about you guys, but those abilities reminded me of Naruto. Bonolenov's ability reminded me of Dosu and Kalluto's ability reminded me of Konan. coincidence? |
Albi-kun said: Might be the other way around...I don't know about you guys, but those abilities reminded me of Naruto. Bonolenov's ability reminded me of Dosu and Kalluto's ability reminded me of Konan. coincidence? I believe this little story arc here was done in 2004. But, who knows which characters came first? Anyway, glad to see that you've caught up! |
