| HXH is different. All characters are important. (Character Development) Welfin is really important at the end of Chimera Ant. Pitou vs Gon and Meruem vs Netero are EPIC. WHY?? because in HXH the "bad person" is charismatic and THE HISTORY AND FIGHTING DO NOT HAVE THE TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT |
| Gintama: "The blade is not to cut down your enemies Nor is it to cut away your own weakness A sword isnt meant to protect your body A sword is meant for protecting your soul" |
| This arc seems to be relying more and more on the narrator to explain things Episode was alright Im guessing gon will probably attack pitou out of anger and this will probably lead to her death because pitou will have to defend herself thus shed need to de-activate doctor blythe (dont read manga - just guessing) then i could see killua getting mad at gon for not considering komugi's condition and some sort of fight starting between them |
| Manga readers (me included) are pissed off for 2 main reasons I think: - They reshuffled the chapters, which completed messed up our expectations. - They dragged fairly short chapters to fit their f*cking 20 minutes format. Don't be fooled, leaving out the meeting between Gon and Pitou to the end was totally planned, no matter how much material was in between. The pacing is very important, we are used to things happening at a certain pace. Try to take your favorite song, compress it so that it goes 3 times faster or slow it down so that it goes for 3 times longer, then listen to the result and see what I mean. It didnt happen as much this episode but they are leaving out important details or fail to emphasize events that couldnt be in the manga, then add totally useless stuff... |

| Well, I caught up, started watching this series around a week ago and it has been a ride, that's for sure. What a fantastic series this is! However, these last few episodes have been pretty slow, but that ending for this one is worth it because I am sure it is going to be an awesome confrontation. |
| And the pacing continues to slow down. I wonder where they plan to finish the Anime, seeing as it will be caught up with very soon, unless the writer is back chugging in new content? |
 |
| Megumi Han will probably put on quite a performance unlike anything we've ever heard |

| Oh, man. Between the non-stop narration that feels the need to go in-depth about things people should be able to figure out on their own and the incredibly slow pacing this invasion has been a huge disappointment to me so far. I actually stacked up a month's worth of episodes just hoping that something really interesting would happen to renew my excitement about the series but no such luck. And please don't start with "If you want action then this is the wrong anime! Go watch Naruto!" because I've been watching this anime since the beginning and used to enjoy it a great deal(Even some of the earlier episodes in this arc) despite it not being action-packed. Too many of these characters just aren't interesting enough to be getting this level of focus. |

| Kind of sucks to have to spend this episode on the side stuff that isn't an epic battle, but not too surprising with the pace and all. Finally the Nerferpitou fight might at least start by the end of next episode haha. |

He just draw and write what he want, and MH just make it into anime. The problem is the order of the episodes to delay Gon and Pitou scene, it's like torture every week. |

| I can't believe that's all Zeno was hired to do. |
 |
| From a financial perspective it'd have been extremely expensive, I'm not sure of the price but for reference purposes, the Faceless Men from ASOIAF were said to be able to simply Kill Danerys had one of them been hired, but with the price for her head, they might have as well hired armies. Same with Netero's head. From Netero's perspective, it's out of respect. He's more of a warrior and doesn't like 2 vs 1 perhaps. |

n10sity said: I can't believe that's all Zeno was hired to do. Well, it ended up being easy because Meruem was willing to cooperate. Zeno's mission was to allow Netero fight the King without interruptions. If Komugi hadn't been there, it could have been a harder task. |
| Pretty nice episode, can't wait for the next one <3 |
| damn, just caught up to the last episode... what to do now? it was so great to watch a few or even 10 episodes a day of this great anime |
Sydonis said: Last few episodes were waste of time, I this anime progressed any slower, I strongly disagree, so far, this is proving to be not only a very strong finale, or prelude to a finale, but probably the best that shonen has ever seen. It doesn't get any more sophisticated. |

| ^^ People will probably be able to judge those last episodes better after the end of this whole arc, so they can have a general view of it. (just speculating I haven't read the manga). |

It doesn't get any more sophisticated. Yes, becouse shounens need more staring, slow motions, flashbacks and very slow explanations of everything thats happening, insignificant as it may be in grand scheme of things. Nothing like spending 20 minutes, watching 5 minutes of content being shoveled into you in the most lethargic way possible. Reminds of some older Naruto episodes, where you watched 10 minutes of flashbacks, than they stared at each other 10 minutes and episode ended. To me that was 30-40 minutes of content and detailed packed into a 22 minute episode, depending on the episode, 111 and 112 being the most detailed ones. You're right in Naruto they may be slow, but they just re-use flashbacks and talk about how Sasuke's doing right now. In this, it's showing us thing from different points as they converge. For a show to be so detailed, mere seconds need an episode for them to tell, is nothing less than outstanding to me. Besides, there was hardly any slow-motion in the last couple of episode. I do recognize that the Killua scene, while very strong in essence, was ruined by how slow it was, though. |

| GON IS FUCKING PUMPED UP, AND READY! 8.5/10 |
| If I drive for you, you get your money. You tell me where we start, where we're going, where we're going afterwards. I give you five minutes when we get there. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything a minute on either side of that and you're on your own. I don't sit in while you're running it down. I don't carry a gun. I drive. |

Too many of these characters just aren't interesting enough to be getting this level of focus. Those are literally my exact thoughts. But for whatever reason I enjoyed this episode more than ones before it. Maybe because it didn't have that much narration (?). I hope Gon's asspull is worth the wait. |

| I thought tonight was the new episode... it's still Monday. What do you guys think will happen between the two of these? Straight up fighting or will there be a story to be told? soundscape said: judals said: Doubt it, not that it changes anything. Is my avatar showing?

No doubt about it, it is, and Madhouse is to thank just as much as the brilliant guy who used to make it. (and probably never will again). |

| So... you can skip 90% of this episode and don´t miss anything... And I think it´s funny how the time is slowed down all so much, but Ikalgo takes the elevator down, behind him an ant and the elevetar drives back up. Then the wolfguy decides to go for a walk. All of this happens while Gon and Killua can´t even walk inside a building. But I am glad to have extra focus on all the ant side chars, because that´s clearly what everybody wants to see right now... This episode just gave me cancer -.- |
| Now, with that being said, I will admit it DID frustrate me when Melereon says "Perfect Plan deactivate" upon exhaling his breath to de-activate his power. Then he inahles, says "activate,"and he's perfectly invisible/unsensable again. So, uhm....If he doesnt de-activate until he SAYS "De-activate," why the fuck does he need to hold his breath?? I assume, REGARDLESS, if he says de-activate, his powers will still deactivate upon running out of breath and exhaling, like he earlier explained. I just felt it was stupid theatrics that, overall, just has the potential to confuse viewer's on the ability of Meleron's Nen. I know it was a small scene, but IMO, still a BIG oversight in the anime production's team and frustrated me more than I should have let it. Other than that, Madhouse, you've been pretty damn good about pacing and consistency for THE MOST PART, dont start pulling this shit again :/ |

| Er, Zeno didn't quit. All Netero paid him for was to separate the Chimera Ant King from the Royal Guard. 'Sounds like he paid him a fortune to do it, too. Zeno finished his mission as soon as he sent Netero and Meruem away. The wolf is annoying... just not in a meta-sense. He just keeps getting so close to screwing things up. I have no idea what crap will go down with Pitou, but it's going to be big. |
| almost a full ep wasted on the wolf whos wearing a thong, wtf was that all about? an also why didnt Netero payed the old assasin to help well with assasinating the king? Gons face made laugh at the end |

soundscape said: jreginald said: Lol it's true though. Yea but it wasn't the main reason... As far as we're concerned, in this episode that's the only reason. I arrived at the same conclusion when I watched this. |
Dashingfella said: Gotta really wonder how some people made it past episode 100 in hunter x hunter. This arc has had more action than all the past arcs combined. How many fights did we get? We got Gon vs Hisoka at episode 35, the Papa and Grandpa Zoldik vs Chrolo, which was only like 10 minutes, then we got the fight with Kurapika and Uvo, then the bombers in Greed Island Arc. That's it. Because action was not the only one worth noted. There's tension, psychological build, thriller, strategy, etc. You can't expect 10++ episodes on fighting in HxH. |
