| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- WOAHHH Hisoka is pretty badass with those cards Finally, Leorio beats Kurapika at something Killua is just beast i love him And damn gotta love that mexican guitar music for Hisoka :) |

| AWESOME! Pace really slowed down. Hisoka's really cool :) Phase Two next time! Wow.. only 148 remaining. I love the whole 'exam' atmosphere, that's why I loved some parts of the first season of Naruto so much. Seeing it done so much better here is awesome.. I love it! |
| Whoo, a couple frames of Menchi! She looks better with pink hair... though I think it's actually her tan that's throwing me off Hisoka raping people was great except I wanted to see some blood ;-[ Pika fanservice  |
| Next week on Hunter x Hunter: suddenly, Aya Hirano! Great episode. The fight with Hisoka was well done. And his seiyuu did a great job as well. |
| LOL I somewhat liked this episode. Looks like Hisoka does keep a lot of his perversion in this version. Did you guys see the way he looked at Gon when he was choking him. He got off on just his facial expression while choking him. Still as sadistic as ever. |
     "There is someone that I must meet again. And until that day... not even Death himself can take my life away!" |
| i forgot that the first few episodes till they get into the Nen abilities are kinda boring. still this was fun to watch..... no blood though. |
| I'm sure some fans of the original anime will still somehow complain. But, really, I don't know how this could have been done better. Sure there wasn't any blood, but Hisoka was still without a doubt killing the shit out of all those people and he still keeps his perversion. Great episode. |

| I can deal with the lack of blood in this episode because Hisoka was freaking awesome! He was creepy and perverted and gorgeous and exactly what he's supposed to be in this episode. If they'd changed his personality that much, I wouldn't have had any hope for the series, but I see that's not the case and am super excited. Just not in that way. Geez, I wish they'd worded Gon's lines a bit better; the translation I had included him saying excited and while it's okay for Hisoka to be creepy, it's too much for them to have Gon reciprocate it, even if he doesn't exactly mean the same thing. That was a great episode. Totally looking forward to next week! |

| Great episode but we need blood |

| Menchi without her fishnet top? :( :( :( |
| I like everything so far except I still can't get used to that bg music for Hisoka. -_- |
 |
| hisoka is more loli in this version i see. for a second when he punched Leorio i thought omg the first blood in this anime but nah it was just an effect.i shouldn't have expected it since Hisoka alrdy pulled his cards out of the dude's brain without any drop of blood |
| there was blood, in the scene were gon hit hisoka |
| yess Hisoka being awesome made this episode for me!! seeing mass people getting killed without blood is weird though |
pokymon said: there was blood, in the scene were gon hit hisoka oh i was stunned by the funny expression Hisoka was making before that.Yoshihiro is very proud of the studio by now i think.but at least they used blood ( even though it was very little and it was just for a second ) in the important scene |

x5exotic said: Great episode but we need blood I agree with you, it would be great if they showed us some blood But oh well, awesome episode though Still don't like Hisoka's bgm I don't think I'm going to get used to it |
| does anyone know when the dvds usually come out ? i'd like to have it if it'is less censored on it |

| Hisoka was awesome xD He seems strangely lovable in here. Or is it that I've grown to love his warped personality...? |
| O rly? THEY attacked Hisoka first? No Kurapika card dodging? No detailed slicing? Dat BGM? *hate grah grah* No honestly, I just don't like this. I'll wait for Killua's tower part, before I change it to "hate". Just Awake is my only salvation, at the end of every episode. |
 |
| Hisoka's so pedo. And while no blood is okay, I'm just hoping they'll start adding more for the more crazy bloody stuff later in the series! :3 |
| This was kinda completely different from the manga... |
 |
| Somehow BGM is getting better and also Hisoka is awesome in this episode. His expression and face when choking Gon is epic. But, WE NEED BLOOD! And WTH is that Hisoka's kagebunshin?! (is this some kind of ninja anime?) Also, is it just me or the animation is kinda poor for 2011 anime? IMO the battle scene and motion scene looks bad or even static. Somehow I feel this anime is kinda low budget even tho Madhouse is the producer studio. Oh, and also some scenes is much different with Manga, but that's not a major part though. |

Hot guy... I wish the author will someday make a standalone series featuring Hisoka and "him". It's certainly more entertaining to watch that rather than skipping the entirety of every ep just to find their segments... Besides Killua who is a decent character at the beginning then sux donkey balls afterwards, the rest of the main cast is simply horrendous... Togashi somehow just has a bad habit of creating boring main characters while having a vast arsenal of interesting side-characters. One of the many exceptions is Yu Yu Hakusho where Kurama and Hiei are lovely sweetharts... But then again, seeing how Shounen c**ts crave for these types of bollocks as MC(s), I guess the man gotta comply in order to make a living... Alas I digress... Lessee... They totally PHAIL in portraying the waiting-frog and the hypnosis butterflies. Moreover, as I've feared, they took out a huge portion of Hisoka's charm by censoring all teh FUKKEN flying limbs... He's still a sexy beast though.... Can't say the same for Killua since one of my favorite scenes of his will be ruined at this rate... So happy to see that dumbass Leo getting spanked. Despite my intense dislike towards a certain homosexual-looking guy, I gotta admit he was smarter than that dumbass Leo in this ep... |
 If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!! |
| Why we need to know names of these monsters? It almost feels like pokemon/digimon anime. Fight scenes were just as static as in original, and what the hell was that perverted expression of Hisoka when he was strangling Gon? Are they trying to make him some comedy character or what? |

I won't be too hard on it. I will start complaining if we're still in 'no blood' territory when we're a bit further on in the Hunter Exam. |

I won't be too hard on it. I will start complaining if we're still in 'no blood' territory when we're a bit further on in the Hunter Exam. In original Hisoka's perversion wasn't revealed until much more later in series. At first he was just a badass clown, and only later they showed perverted side of him. And now we see him as a perverted bastard from the start, so that's the difference, and a big one. |
| Great episode. And Kiullua is officially my fav character :D |
 |
| "Hide your wife, and hide your kids, 'cause Hisoka is coming for Gon." Hisoka is so creepy... gotta love him. XD @BitchMaster: lol. Hatin'. 8D @x4m: If you read the manga, Hisoka is perverted from the start. 8D and the ending is growing on me... Hikarusuke said: Great episode. And Kiullua is officially my fav character :D Yes. Killua ftw. :3 and...and... lol@ her hair. It's green. XD |

| Interesting that Hisoka's hair color is red from the beginning in this version, while he had grayish hair, which later turned red in the 1999 version. No biggie though, just mentioning it. Oh, and the corresponding episode of the 1999 version, episode 8, had almost no blood in it. The fake examiner had a little blood on his face, but Hisoka's slaughter was bloodless. I am keeping my hopes up. I ain't giving up on this one just yet. |

| Great episode~ Hisoka's creepiness was top notch. It made my day when he showed tiny bit of concern when he accidentally strangled Gon :P I ca put up with no blood part...first series didn't have much too. I think his voice actor is doing great :) Can't wait for the next episode~ ^_^ |
| Nice Episode. |
 |
| I just want to say, that i will always hate Hisoka's new voice and bgm.This is just...horrible. About episode, it was really good.Great animation and everything. 4/5 i saw ending about 423423 times :D. btw.Aya Hirano as Menchi? cant wait. |
 |
| I must say that I defended the bgm in the beginning, but yes, the more I hear it, the less I like it. Too bad this show doesn't have a good budget. The art is polished but there are so many shortcuts in the animation. It's a bit jarring. Well anyway, no real comment about the episode. I liked it alright and that's about it. |
| Ok, I'm fully on board now. I approve of Hisoka's new voice actor. The original will always be the original and amazing but I think new guy is on track to delivering something good also. I didn't noticed if the Flamenco Guitar Hisoka theme was in Episode 4, but I thought it fit pretty well here in episode 5. It's a slight improvement over the BGM we have been getting... The more they avoid that Pop-eye tune and the Pirates of the Caribbean ripoff the better. |
