| The big brown fox jumps over the lazy dog |
| Finally the Kurapika awesomeness starts. Even though I don't really like the adaption, the Yorkshin-Arc's gonna be great. |
 |
| Finally! I am glad there was no long seminare or a montage like during Gon/Kill learning Nen arc... Don't think the old anime had small introductions for all the body guards around Kurapika |
 |
| Good ep.Kurapika awesomeness starts and spiders is coming.And this op suck they must change it. |
 |
| a build up episode, hope to see actions galore next week |
| It was really refreshing to see Kurapika in this episode, along with some other new characters as well. We also got some great new OST tracks and so far I'm pretty hype about this new arc starting up. Can't wait for the Phantom Troupe to finally show up! |

| Great to catch up with Kurapika, but the episode was boring in general. 3/5 |
 |
| They really did this episode way wrong. Watch episode 48 of the original for a proper introduction. |
| Is it just me or was this mostly stuff they already showed? I'm sure we already saw Kurapika learning Nen ages ago... I kept getting deja vu... ¬__¬ Seemed like a slow episode but the ending still came so quick. But SENRITSU I MISSED YOU LET ME HUG YOU AND STUFF-- And omg Hunterpedia was the best part of this episode, I repeat, Hunterpedia was the best part of this episode:  Seriously that's love love umbrella level cute. |
| Action slowed down a bit as in Gon's and Killua's training. |

| hmmm terrible episode. |
 |
| Oh wow, that kind of lacked some energy...but oh well. Kurapika's hair is kinda weird too lol, anyway I still have high hopes! |
| Not really a bad episode, but naturally it felt lacklustre if you remember everything. This episode was needed to remind the viewer about Kurapika and stuff, but also to establish the characters without ruining the pace in the next episode (this should mean lots of action). I mean, it's understandable. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Oh yeah, Kurapika appear once again. Can't wait for more of his action. |
 |
| Well, that sure was a bit boring. Hope the next episode will be better. |
| The background music is bad. The new characters introduction was really cool, i liked. But kurapica awesomeness felt too short compared to 99version. |
 |
| This anime sure loves to leave us off at the best moments. |
| The problem here isn't exactly the OST, it's how they were used in certain scenes. Though it's a filler episode, we're talking about revenge-driven Kurapika here. Such upbeat music ruins the atmosphere and gets in the way in understanding the character's hatred. I liked how this filler was handled in the old anime, dark and emotional and Kurapika's struggle to gain power was clearly shown (which made me sympathize with him even more). The second half was okay. I really don't care about the rest of the bodyguards (lol) and I don't like that they've revealed some of the bodyguards' abilities this early. Looking forward to seeing Kurapika with his earring next week yay! :D |
 Whoever on the staff is doing these huntercyclopedia segments is definitely pretty awesome. They never fail to deliver the good moments. Can't wait to see how they all escape the mansion, I already imagine that the lady wont make it, she was cowering behind the butler, and I cant imagine her 180second love kiss to work on hooded assassins. Actually everyone but Kurapika look like fodder characters, so... Conjurer seems pretty cool but limiting unless he can conjure nen beam blasts and explosions? And have we encountered these illusive specialists yet? |

| I'm not liking how this adaptation is introducing the new arc :/ Kurapika looks pretty badass tho:D |
 |
 Huncyclopedia is better than the episode overall lolol.. |
| Keep moving forward |
| We are slowly closing in on September 1st of Yorknew! Can't wait to see next episode when we see Kurapika fighting |

| Interesting choice by Madhouse to move the learning sessions which in the manga are flashbacks during the Kurapika/Uvogin battle to the introduction of the Yorknew Arc. Because of that choice however the first half of this episode dragged a little bit. However the second half picked up especially introducing the bodyguards. Since the flashbacks in the manga are not flashbacks in the Madhouse anime I wonder how the Kurapika/Uvogin battle will be then. Oh well till next week! Random Thoughts It seems the animation director for the episodes coming up won't be from Madhouse as you can check from the credits : /(the show still has some of the better artwork and animation though than other current shows) . As a result some of the fights took some shortcuts when it came to the fight scenes when compared to the beautifully done 34-38. Hopefully that means the awesome fights: Uvogin vs Shadowbeasts, Chrollo vs The Zoldycks and Kurapika vs Uvogin will be done by Madhouse and amazing I listened to the second sountrack released for this arc and while I think the songs are appropriate, the director needs to place them correctly in order to have the best impact toward us as viewers. Some of the music during Kurapika's Nen lecture felt off and I remembered that the track it was playing is supposed to be for the Kurapika Uvogin battle Takehito Koyasu what you doin in Hunter x Hunter XD? They have Kraft and Prince Baka from Level E in this show, now Yukitaka's VA needs to show up and the trifecta will be complete |

| Finally it starts. Can't wait to see Kurapika's conjured chains in this anime. |

| I'll be so horribly disappointed if they don't have Chopin's Heroic Polonaise (op 53) played during the fight , it was one of my favorite parts of the original ;A; |

| I seriously cannot wait for the Yorkshin arc to begin properly, it's gonna be awesome. |

| Yaahhhh york shin ark!!!! wooooo i hope they dont call kuroro "Chrollo" like the manga,it anoys me like how they calll it yorknew city :T |

Avato-chan said: Yaahhhh york shin ark!!!! wooooo i hope they dont call kuroro "Chrollo" like the manga,it anoys me like how they calll it yorknew city :T Well, that depends of the subs you watch. Crunchyroll seems to be following Viz translations. |
Avato-chan said: Yaahhhh york shin ark!!!! wooooo i hope they dont call kuroro "Chrollo" like the manga,it anoys me like how they calll it yorknew city :T But it is "Yorknew City". Not everyone knows what Shin means. And the purpose of the name is clearer in English. |
Avato-chan said: Yaahhhh york shin ark!!!! wooooo i hope they dont call kuroro "Chrollo" like the manga,it anoys me like how they calll it yorknew city :T While they're at it, let's hope they don't translate at all and give us some japanese symbols. It IS Chrollo and yorknew >.< I bet you call it Heavens Arena and not Tenkuu Togijou See? See? You see. |

Just re-read the manga, the butler was actually supposed to get shot when she hid behind him. http://www.mangareader.net/207-14076-13/hunter-x-hunter/chapter-67.html |
| I'm so happy ^___^ Kurapika is back :3 |
 |
| My reaction hearing that man talking through the screen: Tell me that was Koyasu Takehito's voice! I just know because my heart always skips a beat hearing his voice!! And I see Kurapika has matured, his voice sounds somehow deeper and his hair grew a little longer ♥ |
