What a boring episode. Sheesh. That was dragged on way too long and my hate for Gon made it even worse. I hate the typical Shounen characteristics like that. Reminds me of Naruto, bleh! And this show probably has the weirdest character designs I have ever seen.

A fairly slow episode which could easily have been shorter. Also if this show has the weirdest character designs you've ever seen then you obviously haven't watched One Piece xD

I didn't expect to see Cyclops female version at the end.

Gon is always the stubborn one. Episode was surrounding Canary and her views, which Gon decides to step all over and persuade her to his own typical-shounen ways... oh well, hopefully we get to see Killua soon and see what's up.

Canary def. looks better in action, tho her emotional moments are off model. Still one of my favorite characters from hxh. Not enough badass ladies.

Like the still copic feel of the killua+canary flashback. Has that treasured feel that precious memories have.

Gon getting progressively more beat in the face will never not be funny.

I'm starting to think Gon must be some kind of masochist, he's seemingly always trying to get himself beat up.

This episode was rather painful to watch, and it felt like it dragged on for too long. Not as good as the 2011 version.

This episode built on the already-established fact that Gon just doesn't back down. He doesn't care what happens to him in the process of achieving his goals. He just keeps plowing on ahead.

This episode really demonstrates why I don't regard HxH as highly as many others. Gon just makes no sense as a character.

Gon better be able to move faster and stronger or he will never be able to beat strong opponents with no emotional weakness!

This seems pretty fillerish to me, is this really canon?

Yeah, 2011 version managed to adapt a lot of stuff, including this arc much better.It seems too much ''shounen'' and it failed in both Mike's appearance and this dialogue(it was too damn long).
I hate everyone equally

The whole episode was about trying to take a step, obviously, through Canary’s development and her relationship with the Zoldyck Family, rules are well established here and it’s very different from outside.

@Zevven That is something that really stands out. A lot of events are made to be more obvious, more dramatically uncertain, and more "fighty" in this one compared to the manga. Its interesting to see a series I know so well through the lens of time like this but it isn't as good as the "real" version.
