THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
You know what? I don't even care if the song didn't change... that was awesome opening!! The ending was just as good!

So Gon and Killua work on their Hatsu and Gon discovers that he can focus all his nen into his hand. Awesome Killua scene at the end, he managed to create a large 'stream' of electricity.

I was hoping either for a complete new opening song or just all new the scenes about greed island so I agree 100% with you

can't stop watching it

Yay a new season of HxH! New OP scenes for Departure were awesome, though they were a little spoilerish. Oh well they don't show too much hehe. The new OP scenes with the new ED really make it feel like we're in the next phase of the story. On the note of the ED, the sound itself is catchy and the pictures they show foreshadow a cool adventure on the horizon which is what shonen's all about : D

The episode itself had a really nice flow with Gon and Killua executing their plan to get into Greed Island. It's actually really smart thinking of Gon that they don't need to even buy the game but just get hired to solve it. However they need to prove they have the strength to survive in the game which at the moment they don't have.

Gon's gag of being stumped through this episode was pretty funny with the smoke coming out of his ears. Even Wing-san could just hear how flustered he was. It's great seeing them again because Wing is a great teacher and person to listen to. The visuals for Gon and Killua's respective Hatsu were dazzling especially Gon's Ko Fist(For people of who haven't read manga, think of Uvogin vs Shadow Beasts)

One criticism I have to say is the music was a little much. I felt like they just put music in certain scenes because they could but it didn't bother me too much.

Woo the OP Changed at least visually! The only thing that I don't like is Biske's new hair color, not sure why I just don't like it.

Was disappointed because there was no opening song. But I still like the visual change. Anyway, I really like the progress of this anime. I can't compare it now with the original. KILLUA is still awesooooooooooooome! :)) Looking forward!

Well after 1 episode Greed Island is already much better here than the original OVAs. That's nothing against the original series at all, after the Spider OVA though I was quite disappointed with the GI ones, the only thing I miss is the OP from the original GI OVA.

A very nice start to the Greed Island Arc. :)

I'm surprised to see that not much was cut out and there were able to get 95% of the material adapted. Mostly what I remember missing was another auction item being sold and a comment on how the Joystation playing Greed Island didn't require electricity. Also the manga goes into an explanation of which each hand sign means.
But something like that is probably better in a supplementary notebook or something
anyways.

I might be kind of picky on this, and although I don't think it's really THAT big
of a deal. But I rather how in the Viz volume Tsezgerra calls Gon and Killua's
ren as "paltry nen". It seemed more insulting. But it's whatever.

But yeah...Gon's enhancer side REALLY shows through in this episode.

As for the opening and ending...

New animation is excellent.

But sigh...still Departure. Oh well. I rather they spend the money on
animation anyways. Openings can be skipped.

Ending song is ok...But it's not as GAR as Hunting for your dream was.

I hope in GR Tutorial they use it to explain the cards. It would be a good way
to include that kind of info without slowing the pacing to a crawl. Because
there's literally like a double page spread of just cards and what they do
it's cool in the manga but we probably only need to know a few in the anime.

can't wait for next episode!!

Please change the opening... though the animations nice. I like the new ending.

Excited to watch Greed Island. Hope they do the arcs afterward too. :D

A few things that might've been nice to know about were omitted, like the hand signs and how Green Island's console works. Otherwise, good episode.

the hand signs thing is neat but you can pretty much figure out what's going on even without them and I much rather something like that be left out then say Leorio arm wrestling. Hand signs can be included in a booklet.

Loved all the attention Bisuke got in the new OP animation and the new ED. The hair color will take some time getting used to though...

As for the actual ED song, it's nothing special, but it was impossible to live up to the quality of Just Awake and Hunting For Your Dream anyway. It also doesn't seem like a good fit to use as a transition ED that starts before the episode ends, so I hope they don't plan to always do that. Oh well, I'll get used to it either way.


I'm already used to it. :)

To me THIS is how Biscuit should look. Not like the OVA

I love this arc and after how insanely well they handled Yorkshin the weeks are gonna feel eternal once more this year... at the cost of sounding negative any news on the manga's hiatus I mean he stated as soon as this started airing that he didn't want it to catch up, sure theres still this the next arc which is really really long in short and the one that follows probs in 2 years give or take I see it catching up to where they are currently... I just hope it doesn't catch up wouldnt want to see fillers ruin this awesome adaptation

Well it seem like they are close for orginale story but of course this one is much better becuase they improved it by the new series.

Now can we actually see Gon meet his father in this serie, haha I can't wait.

Biscuit looks better than the Key animation, but still younger than the OVAs. Though this way is better I think, cuter too.

The new opening is awesome (despite the song being departure). It has some slight spoilers, but it makes it more interesting this way. ED was good too, though I miss Hunting for Your Dreams already..

Nothing much to speak about the actual episode, I just want them to start with the game already (it seems they will next week)

Yeah the opening was spoiler-ish... but so are a lot of anime openings. That's one of the reasons I like reading the manga, almost no spoilers.

The new ending is definitely different to the first two.

I'm really curious about how they are going to do the Chimera Ant arc... I mean the last half of the arc was mostly narrated.

No new opening theme song but that doesn't really matter, just love it. New video reveals quite bit. Gon and killuia going to power up again that is going to be good. Killuia and his electricity looks awesome. Really interested in Hisoka fighting along side Gon and Killuia. Cannot wait for that.
