Ah that was interesting. This arc already has a lot of characters (the Zodiacs) and I'm liking the diversity of their roles.

Pariston was awesome LOL with his trollish moments. This arc should be interesting though with the rules of the election and Hisoka's return. Yeah, I'm expecting a lot from this so can't wait to see how it will play out. Good to see Illumi too.

Did they put all their budget into the OP? The OP was beautiful and I guess I'm one of those people who will never get tired of Departure. The ED was meh, the song is just the next verse of Hyori Ittai. But the arc is pretty short so I don't blame them. At least we got some Kurapika. Also that picture at the end. ;_; Will we ever see the whole crew again smiling?

Also love the Zodiacs, especially their voice actors. Didn't know that Ging is voiced by Koyama Rikiya, one of my favorites.

This is a short arc, I understand that they rather spend that money on other things.

While CA is probably the best written arc, I consider this to be a continuation, so it's as good as: Let's begin!

Pretty good episode, really liked seeing the zodiacs animated, especially Pariston and Ging. It's nice to see Hisoka and Illumi again :)

Departure always gets me hyped, will forever be one of my fave OP's. And the OP sequence itself looks really good, not so spoiler-y but still gives the viewer an idea of what they'll be seeing. I got so happy to see Hisoka & Illumi, to me they're the essence of HxH -- iunno why. Or maybe they're just my fave characters.

I don't really get what's so bad about how Pariston looks, I think he looks okay. Also, "Chrollo won't be alone?" <<< hope that's not saying the Chrollo in 2011 looks bad.

To decide the election process, Ging really planned it out!
Hisoka ranking three Zodiacs and giving 90 at best! It was nice to see some of the other hunters vote in the election.

What is this madness - they actually timed the 'You can smile again' perfectly this time? I definitely did after seeing Gotoh again. In general, nice to see a lot of old faces again. Leorio, Canary, Gotoh in the opening, Hisoka and Illumi as well, and let's not get into who appeared at the election.
Even though I do know what happens in this arc, or maybe precisely because I know, I'm hyped as hell for the next episodes.

The op is full of feels... damn! The ed is is nice, but not as good as the op (and let's not forget that completely depressing group photo at the end).

Pariston seemed less fabulous than in the manga, but that might change over the next few eps.
Also, Hisokaaaaaaaaa & Illumi!!~

Now all I have to do is wait for my most fav dialogue in the entire series.

Oh shit this was awesome!!! So much HYPE!!! Hahahaha Hisoka missed all the good stuff with the ants. 650 Hunters total in the world of billions... HOLY. Hisoka gave 90 points to one of the Zodiacs and wasn't even excited or surprised. Damn How strong he really is? When he saw 95 points was it Illumi or was it someone else? (don't spoil me if it was someone else). The Election seems to be very interesting and Ging is quite smart...

The visuals in the new OP is awesome. I'm used to Departure at this point. I actually like the ending and glad they are doing the second verse. Can't wait to see Leorio and Kurapika again and see what they have been doing. Why didn't Netero call the Zodiacs to help fight the Ants? Pariston is suspicious. Ging is interesting. He is very smart and anticipated the entire meeting but didn't expect to be unable to see the names of the people in the ballet. I want to know more about him. He doesn't go visit his son but is sure that Gon isn't going to die. HISOKAAA. I missed the crazy bastard. Did he give the 95 to Illumi or someone else? He's wearing Chrollo's earring and he didn't even know about the Chimera Ant situation. I love how worried he got when he heard Gon was going to die.

Good OP even though I dislike Departure.
I'm saddened there's no new ED :(

Cheadle looked a bit weird compared to the manga. Pariston had a different hairstyle, sort of.

This arc isn't that long, maybe 10 episodes. Even less than that probably. Hopefully it'll go on hiatus after that.

Really fun episode :D

Ofc the OP is the same. Loved the new opening sequence though :D
Didn't expect Hyori Ittai v2 for the ED but it was pretty nice too ^^;

First half was funny with how all the Zodiac's hater Partison and Ging XD
Ging was so friggin BA!!!! He predicted every single detail that will happen XD LIKE A BOSS!!

Lol'd at how he wasn't allowed to see the results XD Such a fun spoiler u are Beans <_< XD

AND HISOKA!!! I missed him so much :D So hilarious as usual XD Rating the hunters. Who would think that fatso would be 90 XD

Loved his interactions with Illumi asking him to be his manager XD So it's because he doesn't watch the news that he didn't know about the Ants :( Too bad. He would've had the fun of a life time against them XD And his reaction to Gon and Killua's situation was nice to see. Now that caught his interest ^^

Nxt ep IS HYPE!!! ALLUKA INCOMING!!!! >.< And Dat Blood :D

Opening video is nice. Departure is just a given with HxH :) Hope they will not keep it if the anime continues after a few years when the manga wraps up.

PV change?! That's both unexpected and unneeded I think. After the most dense and dark atmospher is over, why change it? Saa na...

HISOKA! I love you dude. Missed you for real.

And for the ending; I think it's nice that they kept it simple. Hyouri Ittai continuation suits that video. The main 4, looking for the future, what it holds, this is the HxH I love after all. Thanks a lot Madhouse.

Pariston's chin is annoying btw ._.
