Woow, he looks just like Gon! Except in a more mature, handsomer kind of way. So awesome!

Great episode, it was so sweet to see Killua and Gon musing about their friendship<3

Can't wait to find out what's in the tape :)

Yes. The ring and the memory card. A foreshadowing to the next arc after York New!

Chimera Ant ? I think it's easier for them to show him there and just throw flash-backs than make him appear twice before that arc, I wonder who is gonna voice him..

Speaking of Voice Actors, hearing Koyama Rikiya as Ging was awesome, all that's left


Another great episode, MadHouse are doing a great job there, let's see how they're gonna handle Kurapika and Yorknew arc (after 2 episodes probably).

nice episode even though it has no action the revelation of Ging and the friendship of Gon and Killua as well as the love of Mito for Ging was all interesting

to me i think Gon's mother is really Mito since it looks like Ging and Mito are really lovers, and since in japan cousins can both be married its a darn possibility, incest for the win lol

No no he would look random I want him before so we know who he is and see his comeback in an awesome way.

Probably on the ants arc. They've removed the Ging's hunter license stuff so there's pretty much no need for Kite to appear for now

Great episode, they really nail each episode nowadays. Really curious about how they will handle the next. Hopefully they will add a bit of filler, otherwise the episode would end in an odd place.

So cute... The beginning was kinda sketchy, but the pacing's great now. Finally.

Excellent episode when focused on Killua and Gon doing stuff, playing around, and just chatting. Their friendship chat was really touching, and Killua feeling kind of embarrassed and turning away.

Other stuff was a bit dull, but Id rather want to know way more about the nen markings on the steel.

Gon and Killua are freaking ADORABLE. I love watching them just goof around, act like kids, and enjoy their time off from all the zaniness of battles. A nice way to sit back before Yorkshin.

Killua's kinda a tsundere. In a platonic sense. I support Gon x Killua only as a bromance.

Best part? No nen foxbears and no emo Killua v.3.2.

@BlackListHunter
You and Mikasa pointed that out, I agree it'd be way too random, but I don't see Madhouse introducing him in the next episodes, if they wanted to, they could've introduced him in episode 1, I actually wonder why they didn't.. anyway It's Madhouse who's doing it, so I think they're going to handle him well.
*Spoiler alert, a big one*

This was a nice and chill episode. It was really cool the way they displayed the closeness of the relationships between Gon and Killua as well as with Gon and Mito. It was also really cool to hear what Ging sounded like in this version of the show. Can't wait for everyone to meet back up at Yorknew!

Fantastic episode! As someone in this thread mentioned already, the pacing is perfect - quite relaxing after that last arc. Can't wait for Gon and Killua to start looking for Ging. Also loved Gon and Killua's friendship, it's sweet. =3

Personally I love these moments when the characters talk to each other. It helps to make their relationship more real.

I agree, I loved this episode. It's one of my favorite parts in the manga and, besides the whole Kite missing thing, I think madhouse did a terrific job as per usual.

Also, it may just be me losing my mind, but right at 10:46 on the episode, a new BGM plays and it sounds a lot like it's from the 1999 series.
It's been a while since I've seen it so I can't remember. Either way, it's awesome.

5/5 episode for me.

The 1999 version made up alot of things, Gon's mom's death (someone mentioned it here before) and Mito being Gon's aunt while she's his father's cousin mainly.

Though I have read the manga up to its current hiatus point I just remember the general story flow and not all of the minute details I have to say, even though I wanted them to kind of rush this part of the story I'm glad they didn't. His 2 episode stay at home will be refreshing to see after the intense last arc we saw.

Random Thoughts
The animation and artwork of this show continues to impress me, hope it doesn't decrease as the future arcs come into play(ex: Recent Fairy Tail arc) because the story just keeps getting better and better

This episode in particular just emphasized for me how Gon distinguishes himself from similar shonen heroes. Though he is carefree, he actually has a brain and thinks/acts how a mature kid for his age would act.

Never enough Galneryus : D

The mom may also play an important role later on, since we have no information.
This episode was pretty good, considerng nothing really happened (fighting-wise). It is important to the series, though, since we learn about Gon's past and his father. Gon and Killua seem like opposites, in my opinion. 4/5

So when do you guys think they'll do a recap again?
They had one for 13 and 26, so maybe episode 39? I really hope that isn't the case... seeing as most of us know what exactly is going to begin right around then.

It's pretty likely we will get a recap ep about the Battle Tower arc following that sequence but it's still not certain. I am actually more concerned about getting a new fitting OP for the next arc rather than to see it start quickly but I guess it's too close to beginning to think of that now.

Seeing them eating dinner at the table, it made me wonder if Killua eats meals with his family.

Nice episode. Hunter x Hunter knows when to dial it down a notch. A much needed break after all the intensity of the recent fight.

Mito and Gon's relationship is very heartwarming. =)
