| This was a nice epi. i think most people force themselves to believe that this is a common battle shonen, well sorry to disappoint you but it's not, in fact this is the best "battle shonen" that i've watched since FMAB, anyway ikalgo is such a nice guy, liked how he isn't that "monster" that the chimera ants are supposed to be. |

| Poor Ikalgo... I wonder how he's going to get out of that monitor room now. I guess the next episode will be Morel and Pouf. Sent with Mal Updater |

No. Naruto is better than it. naruto shippuden akatskui ark is better, one piece is better, yu yu hackushoo is better. ssorry. |
| Summary of the current situation: - Shoot got spanked hard and almost died - Knuckle almost died - Meleoron almost died - Killua got dumped by Gon and went to vent his anger on Yupi. Amazingly enough, he didnt almost die. - Pufu is trying to force Morau to have a brain stroke. - Gon is having a staring competition with Pitou - Komugi is obiously getting laid. - Octobro just unlocked the loser achievement! - The King and Netero went out for a beer or so. Things are looking promising. |

Uber lol, people need to stop talking about HxH as if it's the pinnacle of plot depth and character development. I've been doing an FMAB marathon to rewatch it and it's made me realise how dragged out and DBZ like this show really is. Don't get me wrong I've enjoyed basically everything up until this arc but now it's taking the piss. Less than 3mins of Killua & Youpi followed by a boring ass tangent where nothing happened. Or maybe Fullmetal and Hunter x Hunter have two different ways to tell their stories. Seriously if you think nothing happened and that the arc is like DBZ then what does that say about your attention span. IF you think nothing happens. |

JamalKing said: Less than 3mins of Killua & Youpi followed by a boring ass tangent where nothing happened. Boring to you. Some people actually like character development. If you think "nothing happened" then you clearly weren't paying very close attention.

You do realize that Ikalgo is a more developed character than 90% of Naruto characters don't you? |
| Killuia's new techniques are awesome. Godspeed and Whirlwind. Youpi could not even touch him. |

That's not even close to what Hunter x Hunter. You can dislike the way it's told but to compare to DBZ is false when a lot things are happening just not at the pace you'd like. |

| Really liked Killua's ability. His godspeed ability is pretty damn epic. |
 |
| I'm exaggerating with the DBZ comparison obviously but my feelings remain the same. It's dragging like feck. |
Aresnalfan said: Did they just waste more than half of the episode on that stupid octopus and his insignificant ass? I was thinking the same. It started well, but after that crybaby octopus appeared this episode went downhill. |

Paracelso said: tsudecimo said: Then don't indirectly reply to me and add a weird insult to it 'thank god you don't write manga'. If you don't want to discuss. I don't even see how is this a difference of a opinion. Ikaglo and Welfin are not even remotely close to being important characters, especially compared to Gon, Komugi, The King and The royal guards. The climax of the story had nothing to do with them. It's like saying Leorio and Senritsu were important to the conclusion of the yorknew arc. Dude, if we discuss those events, we are going to spoil... Let's wait till' the arc is over and then I can show you why Ikalgo's and Welfin's time in screen are not worthless, have a meaning and an important role in the end on the arc. if you want to discuss the future events you can do so in the manga threads or just leave comments directly on tsudecimo's profile |
 |
| Ikalgo was awesome this episode. I understand his feelings. I felt sorry for Brovada, that wouldn't be a good death. |
| Y'all think killua is amazing wait and see what gon's new move is |

Cresherhsm said: It doesn't "look" bad. The art is mostly consistent in those episodes because of the fewer frames that have to be worked with. Wow, I actually liked this episode more than I thought I would. Octobro's early parts were my least favorite part of the invasion. I didn't find his scenes as engaging so far but this time the anime worked wonders. The next episode definitely looks outsourced. But, that shouldn't be so much of a problem. So it's the Koreans again huh? How bad does it look btw? |
|
Cresherhsm said: Did you get a load of that moving clip-art image of Kanmuru Killua in the last episode's preview of this? XD I was so sure that Godspeed here was going to be a still-frame extravaganza, and then it wasn't.And you're right HxH previews are especially tricky. -_- |

 |
| @ Tsudecimo He ( Paracelso) should wait because this is a discussion for episode 119 and not events that haven't come to pass yet. Seriously, wait until whenever that stuff happens and then you guys can do this. And, hey, maybe my anime only ass can join in the discussion. |

| Then it his fault for indirectly replying to me, I'm just saying. And sorry for my posts in general. It's just that it's hard to find discussion about HxH outside the anime sub forum, the manga section is highly inactive and what I'm talking about happens months down the line. |

What were the others? I wouldn't want to miss out on something masterpiece worthy. Our tastes and preferences differ widely so I don't think you will see them as 'masterpeices'. It's just 2 or 3 arcs from Naruto and the Minus arc from Medaka Box. insan3Spectre said: Sorry for your suffering, but the news that it is months down the line is good for me.

Cresherhsm said: All because the latest previews have shown nothing but still images, I've been fooled a few times.Nope, I didn't. Unfortunately I only have a causal eye when it comes to good animation, though I did notice a slight dip in quality in since the 90s. I'm guessing the studio got a heads up on the time-slot change and decided to adjust things early. In the end I'm just glad the dip wasn't as bad as everyone was expecting it to be. tsudecimo said: OG, or Shippuden?Our tastes and preferences differ widely so I don't think you will see them as 'masterpeices'.

| 3/5 for me for some reason i cant get into these episodes where the octopus and wofl ant are the main focus |
 |
| Godspeed was epic. I actually enjoyed the stuff with Octobro to be honest, but I wish we could get back to the quality of the Yorknew arc. I'm so over Chimera Ants, I never want to see another Magical Beast in HxH again after this arc. ichii_1 said: I agree with the comparisons, but why should mods get rid of people's complaints? This is an episode discussion, meaning that we are here to discuss the good and the bad. If you come to one then expect to hear about the bad.Mods, can you please clean this thread, it's almost all naruto comparisons and trolls/haters (I don't like this character so the whole episode/series is sh*t and whatever everyone else says is stupid because I'm right and a ton of spoilers) |

Cresherhsm said: After seeing your posts on these episode discussion threads, I'm certain that you're going to love it even more. Good to hear, yeah. I've really, really liked this arc. So, I figure as long as it continues along it's present path I should keep liking it. It's pretty much to me what Yorknew is to Tsudecimo. tsudecimo said: Ah, haha. I'm actually interested in your reactions the most, out of all the anime watchers. The forums are gonna be fun, when we get to certain parts, you could say. Way to put the pressure on me. But, I'm looking forward to whatever happens. @ anyone Just curious, and if this is spoiler material forget I asked. But, are The King and Netero fighting as all this is going on? I've been wondering about that the last few weeks. |

|
| Ah, come to think of it there has only been a few minutes since they left? Yeah, I guess it would be impossible. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| another lackluster episode. The continuous switching of focus in one episode is getting really annoying. 3/5 |
| An Ok episode, would've probably hated it if it weren't for Killua's part, thank god for that, and though Ikalgo has a part to play, it's rather insignificant to all that's currently happening, just my opinion though. 3/5 |
| Enjoyed Broctopus vs Brovuda more than I thought I would. 5/5 |
 |
insan3Spectre said: Ah, come to think of it there has only been a few minutes since they left? Yeah, I guess it would be impossible. well Most of complaint are from manga readers As manga reader, I can say It is a psychological condition Everyone waits for a particular event really like it and just cant wait so he will start complaining of nothing And also, of course,there a trolls trying hard to influence how you feel about this Anime for me i think you need to stop read their opinions if you really want a raw reaction |
 |
| I love that Killua is able to continually beat the shit out of people twice his strength. Super Saiyan anyone? |
sebrina8 said: disappointing episode. i can't believe togashi stole the raikage super sayain bullshit from naruto. well it is lighting, there is not much you can do with it. You are aware of the fact that Raikage and Super Saiyan is not the same thing, and that in any case Naruto copied it off of Dragonball because it came before, right? Also Hunter x Hunter started march 1998 and Naruto in november 1999. |
| Anyone notice that shoot mark on youpi was gone? If killua part was shown after octobro I wouldn't have complain, but after seeing killua power I want to see some action... Basically killua scene make octobro scene become little uninteresting bit.... but I still love how octobro outsmarted that larry lobster... |

Yeah I noticed, I think the effect goes away if Shoot is too far away. It's definitely not a mistake on the Animators part btw because the disappearance of the mark was really smooth. |
