Can't say I'm sad to see this arc ending, it's probably just me but after Greed Island everything has just been too drawn out and a little on the boring side. There have been some great episodes, the beginning of this arc was a welcome change after the invasion half of the CA arc, but it seems like the quality of the series has just went way down hill. A break may do the series some good, maybe when it comes back there will be enough material that they don't have to draw everything out so much.

As for this episode, this was a really poor episode. The beginning with Ging and Cheadle was good, and Leorio's speech was gold, but other than those two scenes the rest was put together really poorly.

I've noticed this with other long running anime, after a certain point it's like the studio just stops trying as hard. Also, very few of the original manga authors seem to know how to keep a story flowing for so long. Bleach lost it's edge after the Rescue Arc, Naruto lost it's edge after the time skip, One Piece lost it's edge after the Thriller Bark Arc(but seems to be gaining momentum again). HxH has interesting stories with each arc in the manga, my only real complaint is when the studio started catching up with the manga they started trying to draw each little thing out more and more and it ruined it for me.

But, that's just me.
Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me.

Leorio gave a nice speech.
Nice to see more familiar faces again.

Leorio publicly admits masturbation in front of thousands of people... like a boss.

The hxh thread has gotten so dead! only 3 pages of discussion?! usually this shit will be like 10+ pages already. My god the hxh bandwagons are already abandoning ship. You guys could at least wait until the series has ended, guess they are all jumping on another hype series.

All they need is to jump on the one piece ship, greatness always!

I'm here to give some support for the hxh welfare so here's my comment.

One Piece episode discussions have even less replies.

Judging by the replies in this thread, some people really hate politics ay.

Anyways, HxH is most likely the only shounen manga with politics that doesn't bore me to tears.

This particular episode is very bad compared to the manga version.


It was a pretty bad episode. This arc is unnecessarily dragging itself.

I just reread the chapters and the anime adapted the manga chapters perfectly fine. The dialogue in both versions are pretty much the same. If you dislike this episode, you most probably dislike the manga chapters as well. However, if you're talking about the production values then I have nothing to say. The only thing they did was move the a certain scene to the next episode.

She got back at him, though. I'm assuming Cheadle is the one who arranged the "everyone is locked in here until the election is over situation." It's like "Oh, so you're leaving and you say Pariston will probably have enough of his people abstain to hang the vote over and over again until the next Hunter Exam? I can fix both of those problems."

Actually I think the reason why they can't beat Pariston is because deep inside he doesn't really care. Like what Ging said, Pariston just want to have fun and the others might be over thinking things

Leorio's speech was good. I have no idea what the outcome of the election will be.

Next episode is named ''Defeat x and x Reunion''. Maybe Gon is healed and reunites with Ging? I'm really looking forward to it.

I clearly see how that gives you happiness throughout the entire day. :)

On a serious note, why the fuck do people always compare Naruto and HxH... I think they get that inner happiness when they see something thats better in HxH than naruto.

3/5, probably worst episode this arc so far. Though Leorio's speech was entertaining nothing else really stood out about this episode. Doesn't feel as drawn out as the manga so that is good. Only four episodes left though, hopefully the next one will be a feel ride.

I feel so bad for Seung Wook-Woo. His episodes are almost guaranteed to have little to no pizzazz whatsoever, and disappointing almost any type of H×H fan. So, I saw this coming over a mile (or a few weeks) away. I'm just glad that the anime-onlies mostly found the progression to be 'meh'. That is at least some silver-lining, since this is the last we'll be seeing of his H×H episodes, fortunately (he's not to be blamed, though).

Tell your entire families and friends to come and discuss in this thread. This thread needs all the help it can get, it's too dead!

No one wants to comment on this thread anymore, it seems they either got bored of the series, or because they heard it will end soon, it killed there hype train.

So it seems the little bit of people that comment here are the true fans. So the hxh fanbase mostly consist of bandwagoners! LMAO!

At least I'm giving this thread some life! I'm going to support this thread until it ends!

so close to the anime's ending and i still caved and read the next scenes.

i really don't get why leorio's speech is getting him all this support though. sure, it shows that he's genuine about his feelings and may imply that he really cares about his best friend, so maybe he'll care about you too, but still. it proves nothing about his qualification as chairman. and his only goal/plan is for everyone to help gon. isn't that a little selfish even though it's an entirely selfless request? i don't know.

well. if leorio wins i will table flip.

Because he is the most "realistic" one on the eyes of those hunters while the other 3 is politicians. Mizai and Cheadle spoke in a really political ways to kick out Pariston and those hunters probably aware of it(actually it's not that hard). Then Leorio came and rather than speak a shit about this chairman, he spoke about wanting to save his friend instead.

To stay like that is Leorio's advantage as his majority voters is the swing voters who might goes to Pariston to end the election fast. His speech is better than Cheadle and Mizai so he deserved a little applause for being the genuine one is good.


Anyway, i don't know how to put it into words, but this episode kinda lack it's feel. I am kinda disappointed. The manga far better.

You are right , there are loads of soundtracks that they can use and even though I heard people complaining about it , it was nothing compared to what happened this episode , Madhouse is not taking the elections part seriously in my opinion.
