End of celestial tower episodes,

I really enjoyed this arc, watching Gon and Killua develop Nen and the Hisoka fight was really sick. Looking forward to seeing how Kruapica developed his Nen.

Hunter x Hunter is one of the best shonen series out there, based on what I've seen so far.

The fights were short and sweet, and the episode was full of win moments!

But so, are they leaving the tower for good??

PS: Gon has a fetish with ripping up stone piles!! xD

Don't mess with the elevator girl!

I'm relieved that they didn't skip the bits I was bummed out about missing before. Nothing wrong with mixing it up a little and I can barely contain myself as I prepare my body for the remaining episodes.

Quite a lovely episode and ending of this chapter I'd say, looking forward to see what adventure they'll face next!

This arc is the best arc so far...
To top it off, the last episode in the arc is one of the best in the whole series in my opinion.

Gon and Killua are now WAAAYY stronger than before they've learned nen.

Even though Gona and Killua did not fight the floor masters I am pretty sure the next arc will even better than if they both decided to stay to fight the floor masters...

Elevator girl is just too OP, Hisoka is lucky that she doesn't fight as well xD

I understand why there's no elevator girl in 2011 version,


Damn, she might be the reason Togashi's back is in condition like this rn

Unfortunately, this episode was very rushed—that said, I couldn't give two shits about those two Gon & Killua fought, so I'm actually pretty happy the studio decided to make it like this. The elevator scene at the end was hilarious... Killua is so bad with women.

Fighting those three enemies (squinty eyes, top man, and scooter boy) was kinda pointless for me. Not really any plot… just Gon and Killua proving they’re undefeatable demigods. Too OP. Nothing more than going in the ring and winning by performing unimaginable and near-impossible feats. I gotta say, it’s somewhat of a bummer that Gon and Killia are distractingly overpowered.
Gon lifting a gigantic stone arena plate with the hook of his fishing rod ………. Killua withstanding that amount of electricity.

During the Hunter Exam arc, I gave this series a 10/10… but this episode was kinda the breaking point after this somewhat unsavory arena arc. I’ll only lower the score to a 9/10, because the MC's abilities take away the immersion. And because the concept of “Nen” is so stupid, complicated, and unnecessary (and it seems I’m not the only one to think this).

(Although I did like Gon’s fight against the whip guy. I’ll settle for Gon being able to lift an area tile with his hands after training in Killua’s woods. And "knocking him out" afterward. … Still, it was an incredibly simple and rushed fight. The first half of the episode revolved around Killua and Gon beating scooter boy without breaking a sweat. Where’s the plot in any of this? Then again, the Hunter Exam arc was also plotless… it was just a playful series of trials. The lack of plot (back then) was soothing… but at this point, I’m not even sure what I’m watching.)

And sooooo, they’re departing from Master Wing now. That character was an f-ing joke from the beginning. No depth or anything… literally just a vessel to explain the concept of Nen to the audience. There’s absolutely no reason to like him because he has no substance...



P.S. Elevator girl is the OG.

The tiles became Gon’s weapon, hahahaha. Ok, so Wing had a duty with them as a master, and he’s a good one, farewell to him and Zushi that will get better, that was a warm goodbye, the adventure side of this anime shines again.
