THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Shoot's pretty awesome tbh. Him vs Youpi this episode.

Octobro is pretty awesome too helping out Killua. I really like this guy tbh as a Chimera Ant. Pouf is also quite pissed not that I'm surprised though. Those fabulous tears..and dance! This guy lol. The Gon face looked pure badass.

A hiatus started in the manga exactly where this episode ends.

Gosh, that must have been painful. Luckily I wasn't reading the manga back then.

For real? The last episodes were ok, but this one was HORRIBLE. What was the big deal with Killua? That was supposed to be a 5 seconds scene. Even
was faster than that.

So let me get this straight. You guys watched the raw version of an episode with a lot of narration and slow movements and are now complaining that it was boring?

Sigh, if you understand japanese than obviously my comment doesn't apply to you. But what I don't understand why you (a manga reader) are surpised by the pace, didn't they animate 3 chapters as usual?

Since you used "you guys", your post was targeting me as well. You're a fool if you think I wouldn't defend myself.
How many chapters they animated, that doesn't matter, the fact is that, just like they did with Netero's past, the scene was ruined, Killua should be running at top speed and kill those 2 as fast as possible, there was no need to stare like that. Did I mention how they repeated scenes?

Haha, they managed to include the entirety of Pouf's crazed internal ramblings. A lot will probably complain, but I loved the way Madhouse handled it.

As for Killua's scene, yeah, that was padded out a bit longer than it probably should have been. Oddly enough, however, the episode ended exactly where I thought it would.

These last two episodes have been brutally boring. I want to watch a fight happen. Not a instant replay of it. I'm sick of this slow motion garbage. Completely ruining the show imo.

Sure, maybe it was padded out a little too much, but it is obvious the scene is playing in slow motion too. So it's not as if Killua is moving at a snail's pace in real time. And the narrator says Killua's mind froze and that is mind was in temporary disarray and when stuff like that happens perception of time can become messed up, so if the scene is playing from his POV, there's more proof.

Pretty good ep. Slow on the most part but had some friggin epic moments.

Shoot was pretty DAMN BA against Youpi this ep. The way he covered his eye and was standing with pride was nice. How he helped Morel to get his weapon was nice too ^^

The part with Killua!!! DEM FEEEEEELZ T^T...Killua was SO DAMN BA though. Nice glimpse of his upcoming new techniques. DAT ANIMATION!! :D IkalBRO telling him he owes him was awesome (Love the way he's crossing his arms like a BOSS). He's in a pinch though, surrounded by these guys and having Welfin on his ass. Damn that wolf is smart XD

Pouf's monologue was a bit too long but hilarious XD He mentally broke down there.
Nice going by Morel. This should be a pretty nice fight.

But the last scene is what made this ep for sure!!! Finally we hear some of Gon's thoughts. The way he figured out Meruem was the king after seeing Netero and how he told him Pitou is in the back WITH DAT STARE!!! DAT FRIGGIN STARE!!!
The Dark Aura was DAMN EPIC!!! Pitou! U r so SCREWED!!! XD

The scene with Killua is interesting, but they dragged it on for FAR TOO LONG. They should've kept it short and brutal like they usually do. I think they're dragging these scenes out so that they don't catch up with the manga too quickly.

Pouf's scene made me laugh. "Ano onna to issho ni ite hoshikunai!!!" (I don't want him to be with that woman) - homosexuality reaffirmed.

Loved the Youpi vs Shoot part of the episode. Morel getting away with his pipe thanks to his students was heartwarming. Killua part was good imo, after reading the early comments I was afraid that it would take to long but the only part that dragged on was when he had a stare contest with Ikalgo. Pouf theaters part 2 was funny as hell XD

Also Welfin or what ever the wolve ant name is figured out that Flutter is working with the hunters..Cheetu and Flodder ant X are there as well .. I wonder what the shadow king will do :P

Honestly a lot of shit happend in this episode and it was a good episode in my opinion. My only complaint is that they repeated Pitou En, Youpi breaking the stairs and the way they animated the smoke caused by dragon dive looked weird.

4/5

Absolutely love the way they're handling these sequences. The narrator doing his thing as opposed to having inner monologues is really nice. No complaints, except Killua's scene if I must nitpick. Then again, I sat through Aku No Hana and didn't complain about the pacing either. Pitou is about to lose all 9 lives to Gon, I am more than ready.

Some good stuff, but mostly it was too slow. What happend? Shoot used his arm in the fight to fly, Morrel punched with his pipe, and Knuckle hit him once. Pitou cried. Killua killed two soldier ants, and Gon saw the king. It's not like I don't like slow paced stuff, but I have my limits. Plus, does the narrator really have to tell us everything. You know, we can think.

The scene depicting Pouf's inner turmoil was intense! The way it was visualized really drove it home just how deeply rooted his fanatical obsession with the King is.

Personally I'm really glad about the slow pacing. Sure, that way only a fraction of events gets covered each time but it also allows the viewer to savour each moment to its fullest and with directing that proficient and dramatically effective it is damn worth it.

Actually that means "(?) Don't/doesn't want (?) to be with that woman", though considering the context, that's indeed what he wanted to say. But there's no proof that he is gay.

So will you decrease the score if they continue adaptating the manga faithfully?

And oh man, they must be scared that you are gonna lower the score on a english website they probably don't even know it exists. LOL.

Great episode. The first part, with Youpi, was awesome, better than I expected. The rest was great too, but that part with Killua killing the 2 ants was too long, imo. And the episode covered everything I predicted days ago. Pouf is still a weirdo bastard (I hated him in the manga) and dat Gon's rage oO.
