I just want to know if there is a story difference like for example, Fullmetal Alchemist.

1999 expands on some parts with anime-original content that wasn't in the manga. 2011 goes beyond where 1999 ends.

Otherwise, I believe the story is essentially the same.

inb4 people starts bashing CA arc for hxh 2011.

1999 expands more on some parts initially. 2011 goes beyond the Greed Island arc.

Apart from a few filler episodes in 1999, it's basically the same. It's just that 1999 ends at Greed Island arc, while the 2011 version goes two arcs beyond, ending at the 13th Hunter Chairman Election arc.

You can choose to watch them both if you want to compare. I know I did. I personally prefer 1999, but the 2011 version is only better because it adapted two more arcs.

Also, 1999 has an English dub, while 2011 currently doesn't.

360p, mostly.

read chap 1 and watch 2011
then you can watch 99
or well, you could watch 99 for a better exam arc as a standalone but if you cant separate it from 2011 it might confuse you when watching it

Watch 2011, no one cares for 99. If you want more "cannon" shit, read the mango, not 99.

Actually I'm also curious. I might try to start watching HxH 2011 too. If I just pick one of them is it okay? Will I miss something or whatnot? Or should I watch both? Also don't point out 'A arc', 'B arc', etc. please I barely know about all those goddamn arcs.

1999 Version to me was alot more darker.
There is also some episodes and scenes that don't appear in the manga or in the 2011 version.

Sorry wise though no not much difference.

The story wasn't different like FMA, but HxH 1999 is just expanding the manga story, expecially the Hunter exam arc.

In my opinion as a HxH fan, 1999 version is better than 2011 without Chimera Arc.

You mean to say that without the CA arc 1999 is better or comparing them upto the Greed Island arc?

I think he means that if you exclude the CA arc, 99 is better than 2011.

If you watch 2011, then you'll miss out on seeing this important character named "Kite", who is shown in episode 1 of 1999. So you could at least watch that episode before watching the 2011 version. Otherwise, they're 95% the same as each other, and the 1999 version is basically obsolete.

If you watch 1999, you'll miss out on two more arcs and an important fight, unless you plan to watch the 2011 version later.

Yes that's what I mean, but Greed Island in '11 was better than '99. From Hunter Exam until Yorknew, '99 version was better.

Story no, but depiction differs a lot, many fans can take it but i can't, that's why '99 > 2011 for me. Content cut/change in early episode, let my hype down in instant, and it turn into salty me.

Tonpa slyness, hallutination honey, and leorio's dream become complete MEH.

Well.. whatever, see both or just take 2011 TC.

just watch 1999 until the end of the 2nd arc, then go to 2011 at episode 26 to 37, switch back to the beginning of yorkshin in 1999 to the end and then you watch what's left in 2011

@FunkiTV before this thread turn into war listen to my advice : if you enjoy anime with old art style ( before using pc draws ) watch the 1999 , and this also the case if you enjoy anime before 2000 , now as , is there a diffrence ? Not realy , perhabs some scene are longer in 1999 , because back then the directors thought they should have thier touch in adapting the manga . So watch 1999 up until the start of green island arc , then start the 2011 , forget which one is better , both are great . Perhabs even watch both

Let's hope no one necros this thread after you change your signature.

Unlike FMAB, HxH11 was intended to be watched without needing to watch the original first.
