Yay, Komugi is battling against the King now in Gungi. I was rooting for her of course. Her voice is okay I guess. The King seems excited now though.

I''m glad the mission is on now. I was looking forward to this and Morel to fight. Oh snap, King is struggling.

I don't really understand why they're going so slowly, not even 2 chapters animated with this episode...

Any worthwhile filler!?! Or did they just drag things again?
I'm guessing she has a loli voice? Not really what I had in mind, but I'll wait and see.

Also - Stark, you've read the manga?

This. Everything in this episode was incredibly slow, but the next episode looks better. Based on the preview, they should animate at least 3 chapters.

Hunter x Hunter manga confirmed (99% sure) to restart in December. That might have something to do with it.

EDIT: Also this leaves nine chapters for the Day 6 part so an even three chapters per episode.

Who said that? Where did you read that?
A supposedly leaked scan. Guess we'll see tomorrow whether it's true or not.
Edit: The supposedly leaked scan doesn't exist. News are fake.

OT:
The Gungi game begins. Komugi's voice is pretty good.

This girl is so awesome and hilarious xD.I really want to see more of her, so King, don't you dare to kill her.
When Neferpitou said that storm is coming i suddenly heard thunder outside.Freaking scary.

Kind of slow episode, but i still loved it.Looks like Morel will have a hard time dealing with Cheetu in next episode.
5/5 can't wait for full ver of ED.I will actually pre-order the single since i love it so much.

Loved Komugi and Meruem moments, she is soo cute. Knuckle is such a crybaby lmao . Morel got a awersome power, i wonder how his fight with Cheetu will go. I skiped this part of the manga.

Endou Aya did an awesome job with Komugi. To tell the truth I didn't imagine her to talk like that but I liked the touches they added to her way of talking.
She's really funny and totally awesome. Meruem is pissed XDXD And it's obvious she's still going easy on him hahaha.
More development for Meruem incoming!! I can't wait :D

Loved how non-chalant Morel is facing Cheetu XD
But Dat pv O_O...Shit will get real hehe.

Meleoron's reaction to Knuckle crying about the dogs was so lol XD

I didn't mind the pace this ep. And if that news about manga continuing then! YOSHA!!! Been waiting since forever!! >_< Plz Togashi!!!

Didn't really have a problem with the pacing , then again I haven't read the manga and don't know what's coming. Still, I maintain that the pacing is generally solid. It's definitely nowhere near as slow as it's made out to be.

Anyway, I liked the stuff involving Mereum and Komugi. He's so used to being the best at everything that it will be interesting to see how he reacts should he continue to lose. Plus Komugi seems like a fun character.

A great episode as always.

Loved Komugi's voice and character, but the constant large amount of snot disgusts me a tad..

Very interesting how even the Squadron Leader of the Chimera ants thought Morel's Deep purple was ordinary soldiers, even considering the leader to may be one of them.

Wow! That was hardly a loli voice. I'm A-OK with Aya Endo in this case.
I had the same suspicion with Pitou's voice at first as well.

Would have been nice to see chapter 246 with this quality. But, I'll deal.

A set up episode with some lol worthy scenes and more classic Togashi strategic battles. I have a theory on what Komugi has to do with the plot, but I won't say yet for fear of spoiling...

Really like how the King can't beat Komugi. Really like her character also. I wonder how she'll play a part in the plot in later episodes. That cliffhanger at the end of the preview though..

I was jumping up and down like a little puppy to the news that Togashi will probably start writing again soon. Komugi is awesome really liked her character, how she is just unafraid of all that big shot Ant King. She is just having fun playing her favorite game!!! The King starts to freak out :P.

All in all an awesome episode and I found the pacing to be pretty good(haven't read the manga).

Too people complaining about the slow pacing, either the news of Togashi returning is true and madhouse is slowing the pace, or they are doing this to flesh out this part of the arc. (Honestly this part of the arc was my favorite and I would enjoy if they kept this pace :])

Pretty good episode. No matter what the King does he cannot beat the girl in Gungi. Morel's Deep Purple ability is pretty cool. The preview for next week looks pretty good.

Hunter X Hunter has this thing that always makes me enjoy the entire episode. 5/5

I'm liking how the King is becoming angry because he can't defeat the girl. I can't to see what will be his reaction.
Knuckle is so nice. ^_^
I don't like Cheetu at all. Hope Morel kicks his ass.

i read the manga, did i find it slow paced ? heck no !! it was filled with different types of scenarios,strategies and exciting buildups .

i don't get whats boring you, guys ... is it komugi and gungi matches ? (btw loved the ugliness in her ) , or morels inner thoughts trying to read an opponents moves ?

i am actually grateful because rarely you see the mental deduction process that goes behind facing unknown enemy powers in shonen battles . both of these are detailed creation of togashi . this guy invented a detailed real strategic game for an arc . that's how his brain works ...

really i don't get how you judge an episode slow ...

I know how you feel!! I'm trying not to let the excitement get to me since the manga's not officially announced yet, but whenever it does return, I will be hyped. Hopefully, it's for the long-term. :D

Wow, just wow. This episode made me feel like Togashi completely embodied Araki's style. You know, the rules for the fights; the thoughts of the enemies about their foe's power; the mind game ect.

Maybe one of my favorites episodes so far in this arc.

Btw, Komugi and King's gungi matches are intriguing me, also it's interesting to see a change of character by the King.

I'm interested to see more of Meruem's games with that gungi champion, I wonder if it's going to change the King's views or if he learns something from it and applies it to his strategies during the selection. I really doubt he'll kill her out of frustration, I think he's dead set on playing until he wins. At the moment, it seems to me that he wants to figure out how to defeat her and add that knowledge to his rhythm, which may prove useful in his battles to come.
