| The more I watch it, the more I get the feeling that the creators are trying to conventionalize the manga. Not to mention how they can't decide whether they wanna rush the story or stretch it out... The old anime annoyed me too, in some ways, but as of now I'm only watching this one because of the voice acting. |

| Good to see many of you who are new to hunter x hunter liking it. This ep had many mistakes, like the doors should have closed lot faster, leorio and kurapika weren't holding doors, wasn't realistic, some action missing, if i remember, of Mike pursuing Gon, i dont know if they skipped or not, killua skate board part, in the killua scene he shouldnt have said that he had fait on Gon i think, the original slower but better. A bit poor ep, kinda rushed, but overall was enjoyable. Im liking the way they are FFing and skipping some parts, i just dont like them changed like they did on this episode. |

| Why the fuck are all these people arguing about a stupid ass door? Who gives a fuck? That's so stupid I don't even know what to think. That said, I think the first anime did the Canary scene slightly better. |

Mikasa said: This sucked...Leorio was supposed to open the gate by himself. His only time to shine and it's thrown out the window...are you kidding me? Othar than that, all is good. Yeah, Leorio is the least popular main character in Hunter X Hunter. Wish they wouldn't remove one of his few moments where he shines. How sad. :( |
 |
| The episode was disappointing. The training was too short, they opened the gate together, and Canary's part was such a fail it didn't give me the emotion like in the old version :( |
| Gon is a masochist , really xD |
 |
| Killua's mother is a quack, her voice is gentle yet sounds very desperate/on the verge of insanity. I really like how fast paced this series is compared to other longer running battle shounens, they got the training done without spending 4 episodes emphasizing the power of nakama and believing in yourself. Good to see Gon's arm is healed up and looks like it really did get stronger since he was able to destroy that stone post with it. |
 |
| Its getting annoying now how Gon handles things.... letting them beat the shit out of him until they grow tired of all the BS.. I doubt Killua said that. |
 |
| Nooooo!! That butler in training was so cute! =( This seems like too heavy a first task for them. Given the power of that assassin family Gon and co. should get their asses handed to them (unless over half of them are away or something). So, Gon took the Gandhi route this time eh? Lol |
| Love and Peace!!! |
| so Master Roshi training an Gon doing the exact same shit he did to win against the bald ninja once again im glad they didnt waste more time fighting that lame butler... wonder when something interesting will happen, its been 20 episodes |

| Kind of a slow paced episode, i noticed they extended some of the training regimes and they omitted the part where Leoro opens the door after training for 2 weeks. I am actually happy they did, it didn't really fall into the right context of time in the series. Cause it would indicate that they been training for 2 weeks, almost a month and how can that be when killua has been in the mansion locked up and all the other recent events that been transpiring. I was always confused they did that in the manga. Gon is just relentless, like a 12 year old boy should be i guess. I will do WHAT I WANT and there is not a damn thing you can do bout it. But honestly he really needs to prove his observational skills, some of these situations could get him killed because of him being ignorant and arrogant. |

| Servant-chan. Your character design was my favorite and shall be missed 10/10 times. </3 Killua's family is ever so eccentric. Bwa ha. |
 |
| So they finally open the gate. I think it's become obvious how badly Gon doesn't want to fight, but I'm not sure if his strategy is the best. He could get himself into a really bad situation like that. This isn't the Hunter Exam. He could genuinely die if he doesn't watch himself. Still, it was a bit heartbreaking to see the servant killed the second he won her over. I wonder how they'll get past the mom and sister. I don't think there's any chance of them getting by them through force, even if Gon was willing to use force. Looking forward to the next episode. |

I was just emphasizing that he could get himself killed by doing that sort of thing. |
TripleSRank said: I understand, but I think he'd be better off dying from any other encounter within the Zoldyck Estate.True. That's already gruesome. I was just emphasizing that he could get himself killed by doing that sort of thing. I know I'd prefer just as much - anything possibly quicker than THAT, at least! (Despite Canary being a favorite of mine.) |
|
| Gon really takes the abuse. Shocking headshot. But I can always tell before the lines are interrupted- |
 |
| Gon has great character arc, despite being a shonen mainie. He's not overly strong either, which makes him relatable. But that face tho. I like that music they play when he gets hit. |

| That family is like batshit insane o_o Milluki hits Killua for yelling at their mother, and then the mother yells at Milluki to shut up lol. Well it's to be expected from a family of assassins... insan3Spectre said: Here you go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tfp1Bmm6hbU Wooah, I actually like that one better. I really liked the flashback with Canary and Killua, as well as the bgm played in the whole scene with Canary. I haven't watched the 1999 version, but I also kind of like Takeuchi Junko's voice more as Gon too. |

Even small moments had fluid animation. I'll definitely give it a go after this one. Seems even better tbh. |

| Yeah, I certainly have my issues with the '99 series but they executed that scene really well. It's probably because I have gotten into the late material of this '2011 series, but I much much prefer Han Megumi as Gon. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| I think the voice acting for all the characters was overall a bit flatter in the 99's version, so I guess this explains that. And you're also probably biased because of Megumi's performance the later episodes hehe. I should really get around finishing the 99 version, tho. That scene you linked was executed significantly better than in 2011. |

| Majority of veteran fans not affected by "counter feedback" say 99 adapted most things much more gracefully and was overall better. If it's anything like that link always, then it's right imo. |

| I already stated my love for the 99 version. There are many things it did better imo like that scene, of course there are things it did worse but I prefer the 99 version till GI arc. |

| Is Gon Araragi? Using the powerful tactic : ''I'll get beaten until the other party get bored''. It can be a useful tactic from time to time. Poor girl, she never saw that gunshot coming... It look like we'll even get flashback next episode. Y U DO DIS MADHOUSE? How can they even follow that training. That was madness, beyond human strength. Well, I say that like if the show was supposed to be realistic... x) I was wondering if all the family was like Illumi, but it isn't the case. The fatty must the rejected child :) |

| well done gon, just beat your head against the problem until it solves itself. |
| Some intense rock lee training. When Gon removed his arm bandages, I just had the image of seeing Gon's arm bend backwards as he pushed the door. Great another Gon getting beat up montage. |
 |
| The thing about the gate in the manga sounds interesting. Pretty cool that Leorio is the strongest of the three in terms of raw strength. |

 |
| Oh, Gon... |
| Damn, I really wanted to believe the father hadn't an ulterior motive. It's a good thing that killua has affection for the gang, at least. I don't think they will ever betray him... Maybe when he starts killing people ruthlessly. Oh shit. |

| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| So...do the condoms weigh the same as well? :D Did Killer's mom look like that before he attacked her? DAT KIMONO! Gon gonna Gon. I knew once I saw that servant she was going to die(or close to it). :D |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Killua's father ;-; |
| With all these minor changes, I feel like this falls a bit short compared to the original ;/ Like what ppl have already stated, Leorio needs his early spotlight of opening the gate. Esp since he's one of the few hunters that weren't necessarily qualified to be a hunter given his lack of skills in the 4th phase. Don't get me wrong, I like that Leorio passed and is a hunter, but I'm just saying. That's why it'd be nice for him to prove himself by being all badass opening up to the 2nd gate on his own. Merp :3 |
| The training montage was definitely interesting. However, the part when Gon repeatedly cross the line which that servant. Those scenes are RUSHED. It felt like the pacing for the second half of the episode was unnatural. On the bright side, the first half is great! |
  |
| Really glad that butler got thwacked. Getting sick of people clearly superior to Gon letting him win. Someone needs to show this kid that the world doesn't let you skate by just because you have a strong heart and a gleam in your eye, and hopefully this death signifies that. |
