Episode felt a bit slow for some reason. Way too much talking and the animation wasn't as great as it could have been. It was still good though.

Can someone please tell me the name of the OST that plays during Killua and Bisuke's Private conversation?

Next episode should conclude the training for Gon and Killua. I'm just hoping they get back to showing NGL again soon.

I actually don't remember him using it once in the 2nd half of the arc, which is why I just want this crappy training to get over with.

4/5 for me. It's wasn't very eventful or epic as some might be looking to but since it is a training segment of the arc, you can't really expect much from it. It's kinda funny at the fact that many of the people who found this ep boring were manga readers. Personally I thought the logical battle mentality and analysis is what generally separates this battle shonen among the rest and I absolutely appreciate it for this.

The 20 mins of this show flew by so damn fast for me that I'm aghast by people who really say it's boring when this is the more or less the same essence we've been watching this show for more than 80 episodes now. I think some of you, especially to those who've read ahead, are simply impatient for the future events about to unfold.

Yes the episode could have probably been better but this is far from what I would call a stale episode. That title belongs to episode 87 where it was 80% character development for one person.

@ the guy complaining about Gon's jajaken, how in the hell did you ever get past watching Greed Island if you're so appalled by it lol?

Really? I don't know how people can find this episode boring, meh, not that I'm criticizing you but, with Knuckle shouting like an angry bro, I had so much fun.

Also, about Gon and Killua's weakness, it catched my interest. Yes, inferior animations, but still acceptable.

Oh, can't wait for the album OST.

Don't worry, The training will be over by next episode or after, but next episode you'll probably see Killua at his best. The 2nd half of the arc is approaching soon and that's when the crazy shit and good fights starts to occur.

I don't really see how it could be called the 2nd half of the arc. The arc was 132 chapters in the manga and so far only about 30 of those chapters have been animated.

Surprising to hear from Bisky that Killua might leave Gon someday to die because of his fighting style. Hopefully, we will not see that happen.

And now the show will be certainly suspended because you dropped it ahah We don't give a damn about your stupid choices. If you decide to drop a series just for one episode more "quiet", too bad for you. The beauty of an anime isn't established by endless fighting and total lack of character development. If you want anime like this, go watching the usual shonens like Fairy Tail or Sword Art Online,that have characters less charismatic of my nightstand.

Such an awesome episode.
Bisky can say what she wants but We alll know that Killua would kill for Gon and vice versa.
I mean it shows Gon going super saiyan in this arcs OP.
I'm only guessing that killua is gonna be in deep shit at some point and Gon will lose his shit and kill who ever hurts him.

Yep. Episode 87 was 80% character development for one person, while the other 20% was basically dragging material.

Kinda annoyed by certain manga readers cried 'boring' for this episode because we all know they just want to get to the GOOD stuff because they already know what happened. Well there's no real good emotional payoff when there's no setup. There's so much character development here (esp. Killua's character revelation) that I enjoyed so much.

Better yet, there's where the medium of anime shines through: the explanation of strategies that's so LONG winded and wordy in the manga is explained visually here. Togashi can go off and off like that and I find it lot easier to take in in anime format. (Leorio and Kurapika!). I'm really looking forward to the next episode where we'll see Knuckle's ability. Now that's THE ability that NEEDS to be explained well visually because I was seriously confused and find it too much effort to understand in the manga (hope I'm not alone). I'm as bad with numbers as Gon does. Madhouse has been doing such a great job in explaining things so I can't wait.

I imagine there will be quite a few confused watches next week (confused Gon in the preview, with all those numbers XD) as well.

Can't wait to see Killula fight. Biscuit was right, he didn't get much action since returning from NGL.

It's about time we finish with this. Whether they win or not though they are still too weak to face any of the royal guards. Hmm..i wonder, if they where doing what Netero does and kept fighting all those small fry ants wouldn't it be a better training?
Or could it be that they can't win against them?

In fact,this part was "slow" (as they said...I don't think this episode was slow or boring) even in the manga...it's not a problem of Madhouse...they're doing a perfect job. I think that,at this moment,is the best on-going anime. And for those who critic the art and animation in this episode...what do you think of Shingeki no Kyojin? It's the most famous and more appreciated anime of this period,but has a huge amount of flaws in the animation, and a lot of freeze-frame. Instead,in this episode of HxH i haven't even realized the difference with the others episodes...I don't know why everyone is complaining about the quality of this episode.

Even though the battles at the beginning (Gon & Killua vs Rammot, the battle in the drug factory, and the one with the Frog Ant's squad) were mostly action-oriented, most of this arc's fights are exactly like the one in this episode : focused on complex strategy and character development rather than pure action. Actually, this fight is really heavy on the action compared to some of the ones coming. And let's not even get started with the arc following the current one. Those who found this episode boring (something I really can't understand, but whatever)...well, guess they will have trouble enjoying the rest.

Am I weird for not enjoying this part in the manga (and now in the anime) but enjoying the 2nd half then?

The fight was totally uninteresting, for a lot of people. Knuckles pointed out the obvious flaws in Gon's attacks and the episode revolved around those obvious things. That, and Killua explaining the obvious once again, thus wasting 95% of the episode on obvious stuff, and that's too boring. Animation was also average at best, nothing really to write home about.

First, the animation was definitely not "average at best". It seems average since we got used to Madhouse's absolutely stunning animation, but for a pretty minor fight like this one the animation was very good. And the stuff Killua explained was absolutely not obvious, maybe you understood immediately what was going on but I didn't, and I certainly wasn't the only one. Knuckle pointing out the flaws in Gon's technique was for character development purposes : to show how nice Knuckle is, and to show how Gon would react to it.

The episode was "boring" in a sense and the fighting lackluster IMO, plus the flaws that Knuckle pointed out were rather obvious, but it's a character-driven episode so I let it slide.

And the first half of this arc HAS admittedly been slow, some episodes didn't even animate two full chapters. It was slow in the manga, yeah, but with the anime it's more noticeable given the length of the episodes and such. Still don't really mind it much and the second half of the arc is the shit, so it's all cool.

Madhouse is killing me with this pacing, This episode's wasn't that bad but they've been going incredibly slow in comparison to the pace they did with the other arcs. I understand in scale this is the largest arc, but there's no reason why we shouldn't have been further than we are in these 14 episodes. It didn't take anything away from the Hunter Exam, Yorkshin or Greed Island to be paced a bit faster.

cuz these arcs are remake

and those who complain about the animation which was great in this episode..il'l say its still way better than other shounen 13+ anime that airing right now so be thankful for that

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJd5WUCzREI THIS is bad art. Naruto's and One piece's adaptations are REALLY bad,Studio Pierrot and Toei animation should learn how to actually make a good animated series. Madhouse is doing a wonderful job,this part was "slow" even in manga...

I think the first 10 episodes of the arc were slow and with filler because they wanted to have Kite more time on screen.

Now the pacing is back to normal. They adapted almost 4 chapters. It's just that the manga is kind of slow here.

Art =/= Animation. The episode had mediocre animation, that's a fact. Get over it. Oh and try to grow up a bit and stop getting butt-hurt just because someone didn't like your favorite animu, or an episode of it.
