WTF is going to happen to these 2? I'm guessing multiple 2 on 1 fights? Or just 1 big fight. (I NEVER watch episode previews)

But yeah, when that samurai guy that I forgot the name of looked at Gon, I literally moved closer to my monitor that if I was any faster, I would've hurt my face.

Awesome episode.

Another good episode : )

I really liked the things Madhouse shifted around from the manga, like placing where Killua told Gon/Leorio about how his Dad had a hit on the Phantom Troupe when they saw Nobunaga and Machi. During the second half of the episode, the tension was so thick in the air I could practically cut it with a knife. What the narrator said before the ED came on "nerves mounting to their limits" couldn't have been more appropriate for the situation. Oh and Killua hitting Gon was funny as hell lol.

This was a really tense episode. Phinks' grip is brutal erk. Gon had it nice with the ladies haha

Strangely I found Machi & Nobu's argument in the Plaza a highlight. Question, is Machi's suggestion that Chrollo may be interested in recruiting Kurapika (manga) canon?

Intense episode; shows how freaken outclassed they were, that said tho liked Killuas attempt to break free, he put more effort into than Gon did (well not that Gon had much of a chance anyway); this keeps getting better, can't wait to see the next episode.

Dang, Gon and Killua got schooled by those Phantom Troupe members. I was hoping for them to put up more of a fight against them, but it's whatever. This makes them more legitimate as villains I guess. The tailing scene was really tense. You could really feel the tension in the air as well as the sense of danger. I wonder what's gonna happen now that Gon and Killua are basically trapped in the enemy stronghold. Will they get tortured or something? That would really suck.

What I really want to see now though is the Phantom Troupe go up against the Zoldyck family! They've been hired to kill them, so hopefully we get to see it! That kind of fight would be awesome! It would be an all-out war!

I was expecting Gon and Killua to instantly focus on Hisoka when they were brought to the base at the end but the screen didn't zoom into him.

Anyways, it was a awesome episode.

Me too, but I guess they couldn't rehash 47's ending so soon.

You have to love the psychological warfare in HxH... In the mental aspect, shounen anime are mostly about philosophical and moral battles (e.g. friendship, love, revenge, idealism etc.). Rarely do you see the kind of battle that this episode just showed.

Much happier about this weeks episode then last week where they changed some really odd things that didn't need to be changed to fit it all in one episode. The only thing that's oddly changed this time around is no direct mention of Machi's intuition (only saying it's a hunch and not talking about it's history/correctness).

Tense scene and great hype.

Normally in shounen manga there is always alot of hype from a villain to make them seem baddass then there is one huge fight and they win. With these guy there is so such fucking chance! lol

Man, what an episode. Loved that they brought the BGM from Gon X Hisoka back for the mini-fight with Phinks, and it was amazingly choreographed. Also loved the suspenseful buildup to that moment, and Killua generally being a boss.

Killua's 'fight' with Phinks! Killua always makes me feel like crying, his ankles ono. The tension this episode was awesome but it's going to skyrocket next week.

Next week will be freaking awesome. I'll just be crying okay. =w= I thought it was going to happen this week, and then the ending started playing after what felt like five minutes. HxH why are you so good.

Next episode should be one of my favorites, considering how I love it in the manga.

Well if you include the OVA's of the original anime...you will have to wait a little under a year at this pace considering the original was about 90 episodes all together and the 2011 is going at a slightly quicker pace.

Awesome! This part will make things even more interesting!!!
I kinda want to see Gon and Killua just acting casually with the Phantom Troupe.

And the appearance of Killua's father, Silva and grandpa Zeno... so badass!!!
I cannot wait to see them battle it out.

Wow one knows the enemies are strong when even the Zoldicks are saying to avoid them at all costs. This episode was really scary and hard on the heart for me, so much suspense during the whole tailing incident and when Killua started that cold sweat. The phone scene was intense and then when Phinks called, agh! Did not even see that coming. I thought theyd easily take them on but then now four on four. The scene with Killua dashing everywhere in that room and then trying to kick to escape was epic.

This arc is getting good again and one of the best episodes this arc. I think HxH is starting to become my second favorite long running...

I know it's been altered a bit but that gif really puts into perspective how great the animation is.
