Wow, just wow. This episode made me feel like Togashi completely embodied Araki's style. You know, the rules for the fights; the thoughts of the enemies about their foe's power; the mind game ect.
Agreed - when it comes to battle sequences, and the creativity of nen, no one else I've read is as similar in that regard (or done done as well); a reason Jojo and HxH are in my top 3 favorite shonen.

I don't really understand why they're going so slowly, not even 2 chapters animated with this episode...

I was worried after reading this but now that I'm done with the episode, holy cow! The pacing in this episode was great considering that it covered a bit less than two chapters. Good job Mori.

Hunter x Hunter manga confirmed (99% sure) to restart in December. That might have something to do with it.

Yeah I saw Enzo's post about it earlier this morning. Now I can stop worrying about the new time-slot lol. Also, I don't think MH will slow down the pace because of the manga restart. They would only do that if they knew that they're going to have an entire arc to animate. The Dark Continent arc just started and it looks like it's going to be a long one. Given this and HxH's hiatus factor, MH will most likely leave us hanging somewhere in the middle of the arc if they chose to slow down the pace and wait for Togashi to release more chapters and I doubt that they would be willing to do that. The chances of Togashi finishing an arc in one run are little to none so they're most likely trying to end chapters on an even note.

MCAL said:
EDIT: Also this leaves nine chapters for the Day 6 part so an even three chapters per episode.

I was thinking the exact same thing. By adapting two chapters this episode, the anime is on pace to finishing day 6 on an even note. Last episode covered the entire day 7, ending it on an even note and based on the preview, we should be getting three chapters next week. I'm calling it now, the next three episodes will cover three manga chapters.

Enjoyed it as always, even tho not too much happened in this ep. Anyways really liked that gungi game and Komugi seems like an adorable character :D ...tho that snot dripping from her nose kinda disturbs me XD
But great news if the manga really continues this december, even tho I decided not to read it until the anime ends/goes to a longer hiatus.

Can't wait for more. xP

Komugi's voice is really annoying, the anime is already making her unlikable to me.
The voice actress is waaaayyy overacting and her really fake and exaggerate cutsey loli voice really make my ears bleed. also way too pandering to otaku.

My impression of Komuji in the manga is that she should sound more natural and genuine, she should be an eccentric from a poor background (lacked grace) who geek out on her passion (should also talk faster, because she should be overtly exciting about her subject). Not overt cutsey and 'refined'. TOO fake. But I guess Japanese just love these fake sounding loli voice that no real life girl can honestly relate to. I'm very disappointed

Meleoron's invisible tears were really adorable! He has a lot more in common with Knuckle compared to Gon haha. Knuckle/Meleoron team ftw

The pacing is just fine with me. I want as much Gungi as possible, and Komugi's play is essentially
. And you really need a sense of a developing relationship between Komugi and the King, bc someone like that is not influenced easily.

Komugi is supposed to be a humble character and a little simple minded about things other than gungi. She quite aggressively prostrates before the king/puts herself down in the manga too so I dont feel there was overacting. I think it's supposed to be an idiot voice, not a cutesy voice. What she sounds like is not cute, it's what she says that's sweet lol.

I like where this is going. Someone powerful like the king is facing defeat. I'm sure his character will get some good development thanks to Komugi.

It's not as though she sounded like Yui from SAO or any other little anime girl.
Now THAT is what I was fearful of.
Always remember that anime is a niche medium in Japan. Manga sells way better

To me they all sound the same. -__-;;;
This fake loli speaking isn't cute at all, it's too pretend, too acted. so predictable and so surface. I hated that they ruined the character in the anime like that.

A more natural, unaware, unpretentious, geeky Komugi would come off way more 'cute' in a genuine way. Komugi has a lot of fun expression, yet the voice actress sound so retrain, trying so hard to maintain her voice as high pitch as she can, and the try too hard 'look how adoooorable I am" act...argh.
but then Japan (esp anime) never celebrate natural acting in general anyway and the anime crowd tend to have a limited idea of what 'cute' is.

I thought Killua's voice actress did a good job to come off sounding like a regular person, despite how emo his lines could come off, yet he didn't sound predictably 'anime'.

The thing about animated Komugi is that her snots moves, and rather realistically, everytime she breathe/talk.

They never seems THAT gross when they lay still in the manga panel.

This episode was incredible.

It had a certain something, between the slow pacing and the introduction of the Gungi master, which lead to a extremely interesting situation. Meruem's head must be boiling right now with the sudden realization that, apparently, he's not perfect. The selection is about to start and we know nothing about Killua. Togashi is a marvelous storyteller.

I bet more people would complain then, I mean I don't mind Kuroko's seiyuu but a lot more people seem to complain about her voice than the few who have about Komugi's.

Not knowing how old she is, what makes you think her voice is "very unfitting"? It doesn't sit right with the voice -you- imagined reading the manga? I'm confused.

She's at least 16-20 years old (or up).


Even so, right now her voice sounded like a generic anime loli, which in no way sound like anybody would sound like in real life, there's nothing natural and genuine about her that make me feel anything but fake and annoying. She at most sounded like a 4 year old minus the natural and genuine infantile quality.

Madhouse, you're so fucking awesome.. HXH turns up to be my favorite show so far after one piece of course, everything is getting better and better, thank god that I didn't read the manga that far so I can enjoy the weekly episodes like that.. And yeah, Komugi is so moe.

I also liked the foot-guy new ability (forget his name again) I was missing the ost which played when he activated his nen ability... I was like yeeeaah.. Tell me what you can do because I want to know..lol

This is also an anime where people fight giant human-eating ants, so yeah, does not look like reallife either. I do not mind her voice personnally, could have been a lot worse.

So the king is a genius that learns everything in an amazing rate yet he is taking too long to manage to beat her in a game.
So is she a genius he can't beat or maybe he needs more games?
Also it's fan how she doesn't get afraid because she can't see him.

This 'fantasy show is not real life' argument s just lazy and cheap.
It's jarring when every other character sounds natural, believable and fitting for their characterization, then you have this fake unnatural loli sounding moe clone where you can't feel any genuine human behavior and emotions, I just can't find her 'believable' as a human character. That'd just would ruin a good portion of the story.

Although I dislike moe characters and their ear bleeding voices, I don't think her voice is off. The pitch is not as forced as in other anime characters, and the reality is that there are women with even squeakier voices than that.

Gon's side was amusing, especially the tears. Lol @ the girl's snot, accent and the stuttering. Hope to know more about her later. The "her aura changed when she gets serious about playing" adding up with Meruem's comment almost got me to cringe. Oh well episode was alright.

Edit: How do you play the Gungi, from what was shown, it seems like you can stack with the opponent's piece. ~.~
