Hunter x Hunter (2011) Episode 79 Discussion

Bigorno said:


Hey,

I read it several times and re-read it just befoe the Arc started in the Anime. When Meleoron introduces himself to Gon he says "I'm Jair.... err, no, Meleoron"

Leaulux said:
How the FUCK are these Ants so strong. This Koala-bear-faggot comes out of no where and starts shooting projectiles at the speed of light and owning everyone.

Bigorno said:
Hey guys,

Ever considered that perhaps Togashi is adding all this material to be more thorough with the Arc than in the Manga.

If my memory serves me right, Togashi was publishing horrendously drawn chapters and must have rushed through a lot of details.

So maybe the Anime version isn't full of fillers but instead is how the manga should have been if Togashi weren't ill at that period of time.

However, SPOILERS BELOW DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE AN ANIME ONLY VIEWER.

Because in Gyro's chapter, it's stated clearly that he and Gon did not cross path at all, and might not meet up ever .

ArtemisX said:

Ok... the debate bout what is filler and what isn't aside. My personal opinion i rather enjoy a some what slower pace, for this amazing arc, i mean would you rather it turn it onto something like Magi from A1 studio's. Something stretched out just a little bit gives them time to really tell the full story, even if their is a few extra added scenes. I mean it sure beats the HELL out of having an arc completely condensed and missing many character developments and plot threads. It is the true way anime should be adapted.

Alexx_ said:
us mangareaders just want the anime to go back to canon rather than having unnecessary scenes extended.

fanimanga said:

Huh? I'm also a manga reader so I'll appreciate it if you don't speak on my behalf. I'm glad they're extending those "unnecessary scenes" because a lot of what happened in NGL was only implied and/or discussed minutely in the middle of the CA arc. Have you wondered HOW they'll going to adapt that all talk part without them boring the watchers? Anime and manga are different mediums and thus, will be different in presentations of events. What works in manga format will not always work in anime format. That is what you have to understand.

MH needed to "unnecessarily extend" NGL because most of the people that were eaten in that place will have semi-important roles to fulfill at the climax of this arc.

zoleth said:


Thank you. I seriously dislike the assumption that all us manga readers agree.

Bigorno said:


Totally agree with you. The scenes aren't filler. Quite honestly, I think Togashi's making up for the poorly drawn and rushed chapters by telling the story thoroughly this time.

Example, check the scene where the Koala's holding the uzi gun. He's gazing at it all confused. For us, manga readers, knowing what we know about the character, that is an awesome added detail.

No scene is useless. It´s not like stupid Naruto filler.

HurricaneSweet said:
@Bigrono isn't it because he doesn't know what a gun is? o.o I don't see how another meaning would make sense

DominateOne said:
Question.

in the remake which ep did they start where the non remake ended?

Hope that makes sense....

Monde11 said:
People sure aren't lying when they say HxH is the best shounen, or rather I should say a deconstruction of shounen. I absolutely love how not everything is solved by force, if this was any other manga the phantom troupe members would've all been beaten by the MC's group for example, well, it's time to go read the manga!

mrsticky005 said:

What worries me though is that they may try to expand stuff that shouldn't
be expanded. Some stuff works because it happens in quick succession.

Alexx_ said:
you really think that the scenes of the ants just killing and killing are necessary? You really think the ants chasing Gyros men was necessary? Because it was never stated whether Gyros men resisted against the ants.

Alexx_ said:
yeah you missed the point I was making comparing Magi and HxH
Anyways, you really think that the scenes of the ants just killing and killing are necessary? You really think the ants chasing Gyros men was necessary? Because it was never stated whether Gyros men resisted against the ants.
Also please elaborate the scenes in the manga you are talking about the whole "all talk" part the only part that I recall that had that was the chapter about Gyro otherwise your post is just strawmen apologist.
And of course this isn't naruto type filler because this is HxH and no one is comparing these fillers to others nor am I saying that they're bad, the ones I found good were Kaitos backstory with Ging and Gon & Killuas discussio, also if anything they're making the longest arc more longer, people are already finding this arc boring hence the other threads made saying it's boring and past episodes discussion.

@whoever the fuck is saying that Togashi is helping the fillers
He's not, he's not the director, screenwriter, or scriptwriter. he's just a mangaka
So stop shoving that speculation down our throats you're starting to sound like zoleth

xieghart said:


Then I hope you're not disappointed with this arc, because quite a lot of things are settled by force mixed with some smart planning and strategies this time around. There's more brute force this arc mainly because the Ants despite having the human blood in them are still inhumane and hostile.

Alexx_ said:
and you completely missed the point as to why I use the term Strawman I did not say his post was strawman rather if he does not provide the argument about the scenes that were just "talk", so I used it correctly.

Yeah, I have been abusing the term apologist lately.

Maybe you should look back on the episode discussions where our discussion went out of hand :DDDD.

Canute said:
I wonder if they'll censor this



ANIME WATCHERS DON'TCLICK ON SPOILER.

Uh... a fucking purple Koala in a suit??? and its supposed to be descended from an ant?? Lol Ridiculous!

So they've gone form normal sized ants to fucking centaurs and shit in the span of a few weeks?? Also, where are they getting these cloths? What do the Chimera other than the queen eat? They seem to reach maturity in a few days at which point they can speak human a language and read books? These creatures are SO over powered.

I'm loosing respect for this show. Its still entertaining, but its lost its cred as a "smart" show IMO. They're asking me to suspend my disbelief WAY too much. Its sad cause the concept of "Chimera ants" has SO much potential, but it seems like it will be wasted.

judals said:


at least 3 of your favorites have more of these 'riduculous' concepts, absent explanation! Surely this isn't asking much... I think
IMO this is the most creative way to bring in new creatures into a show so far.

Thund3r1 said:


OK, which ones? Samurai Champloo is extremely anachronistic, but that doesn't compare to an anthropomorphic purple Koala thats supposed to be part human and part ant and wears a suit. Come on now! That's pretty high on the ridiculous scale even for anime. I don't have a problem with humans fighting bizarre looking creatures that do funny things and wear funny cloths, but I feel if you're gonna give them some faux evolutionary back story, They aught to evolve at a more reasonable pace.

soundscape said:
@judals

I think you should stop writing stuff like this "at least 3 of your favorites have more of these 'riduculous' concepts"

I mean come on you know exactly where this will lead don't you? If the guy has another point of view so be it... No need for comments like that, you can defend the series perfectly fine without that, I am sure you can.

@Thund3r

It's a completely new species, what rate of evolution would be fine by your standards? So it's far fetched for them to evolve that fast in a matter of weeks? This is anime and fiction... As if "phagogenesis" is a real word. Just enjoy the brilliant writing, don't jump to conclusions from now you haven't seen anything yet.. If you find that ridiculous just roll with it for now, ignore it.... Enjoy :)

judals said:
soundscape, you should stop telling me what to write.

I just brought it into discussion because I find it/myself curious, not that I need to explain it to you, but I'll leave it here in case thunder himself was wondering.

Where did they find koalas and tigers and why would the queen eat something as small as a chameleon.
