| Yeah, the soundtrack has been pretty solid. Especially since Greed Island, I actually found some of the choices in Yorknew kind of odd, the music has been pretty great. I still can't get the battle music used in Greed Island during the dodge ball and Bomber fights out of my head. |

That soundtrack is called The Emperor's time and it's from the Hunter x hunter movie soundtrack. u can just buy it or download it from anime-mp3.com or something. |

Genthru was actually Uvos Requiem and after hearing it used in the fight between them was a bit odd, the soundtrack I loved the most was Killuas fight against one of the bombers.Yeah, the soundtrack has been pretty solid.

| ughh Ive been waiting Sooo Sooo long !! it was soo Beautiful:P im kind Of Mad that they changed Kite ! but its okay..i guess . |

Billbillstar said: Maybe Kite wasn't added in the earlier episodes because they thought the anime would end at Yorkshin? They were granted Greed Island and forward, possibly even before G.I. (What was it... 39 episodes when it first aired?), so the doubt of continuation may have effected Kite's entrance in the original story. With that said, subtle (and they really were subtle, this is just a bunch of manga fanboys whining, really) changes to the plot surrounding Kite and Gon's relationship make perfect sense. In episode 76, had they recognized eachother without their first on-screen entrance, it would have seemed out-of-the-blue and disorienting. In episode 1, had they introduced Kite than they'd have to make it all the way to episode 76, otherwise their'd be a massive missing relationship between Kite and Gon. Though they could have played it a little differently - and this point is certainly weaker than the first, it is the possible reasoning behind this decision. Animating chimera ant arc was the whole point of the remake. So that's 100% what they were going for. Not to mention the Kite-Knuckle-Morel silhouettes in the HxH intro. |

Yes it's the point but there was still a certain amount of risk to the project. If the show got crap ratings they weren't going to continue. They listed it at 45+ episodes at first before it aired which means if the anime bombed they would do 45 episodes at the very minimum. Thankfully it didn't and it's kicking ass consistently now especially with Madhouse's announcement of its best ratings yet with 5.2% because of the Chimera Ant arc premiere : ) http://madhouse.co.jp/news/news_2013_04.html#news2013_0422 |

| Why are you guys even complaining about Mikasa saying One Piece being influenced by Hunter x Hunter? Whether or not One Piece was influenced by One Piece, that doesn't mean it ripped off of HxH. In fact, you could even say it's a good thing. Though really, Mikasa. Oda made it really obvious that it was DBZ that inspired One Piece and it's characters (I think he said so in an SBS). |

Calumz said: No he's talking about how in the manga and 1999 version it was Kite that told him that his father was a hunter and gave him his card, which started his desire to become a hunter and see his dad. The 2011 version left that out, which they feel screws up the story.gon no longer has a reason to be a hunter? uhm to find his dad dumbass yhunata said: Because they don't think it is, and most of the time when someone says something like that it's a way to say it copied.

Well he's saying that just that whole "don't tell me, I'll find out on my own" thing is from Hunter x Hunter. Not the rest of the influence of the story which is probably a lot from Dragonball. |

Lolack said: I think it's pretty obvious who among us are the real retards, it's not the ones that are complaining over madhouse screwing this up, it's also not the ones that are accepting this change, but it's those guys that accept it and brag about doing it while also disdaining and mocking others, using insults as arguments to avoid discussing the subject, really you guys seem like some ostentatious real life failures that desperately seek superiority online, I'll be making a lot of $ off you guys in the near future Does someone need a tissue to wipe up all of those tears? I already explained how I felt Madhouse didn't ruin some of the most important aspects of Kaito's character and how people, such as yourself are completely overreacting. There is a difference between thinking Madhouse screwed up and saying that one episode ruined the whole series. If you're gonna defend those that say an entire series is ruined by some changes in one episode that, for all we know, could or could not be remedied in the future, then you should really take a step back and reflect on the stupidity that is spewing out your mouth. |
fearthebeard85 said: well saying the whole series is ruined is a bit far, but if they don't fix what they screwed up on then wouldn't it ruin one of the biggest moments that happens in HxH? Also, it does sort of leave a plot hole in the series if you're a manga reader or watched the 1999 version.Once again, I will sit here and completely laugh my ass off at the dumb people who are sitting here saying "the series is ruined". |
|
| It's not they didn't realize what they were changing. This was planned and Madhouse has a reason for doing this. They have made a lot of minor changes to the series and it's always turned out fine. I think the complaints madhouse is getting on this forum is kind of unnecessary since we don't really know how their changes will pan out. |
| Great episode. It's a bit slow going, but I'm excited to get into the next arc of the series. Also can't wait for the Phantom Troupe to show back up again. Whoo, Chimera Ant arc! |

zoleth said: You should really read what you write, the first sentence was literally one of the dumbest thing an apologist can come up with so then Bakuman, uchuu kyoudai aren't adaptation of the manga itself? Lol, You should use this argument in the Magi threads when it was airing see the kind of reaction you would've gotten. Many "book turned movies" aren't altered such as Harry Potter, LOTR etc.Alexx_ said: ... but if they don't fix what they screwed up on then wouldn't it ruin one of the biggest moments that happens in HxH? The thing is that this is an /adaption/ of the manga, not the manga itself. Much like a book-turned-movie, the creators and director will often go in a slightly different direction because they feel it is a better way to interpret the story on screen. While I love the manga, and understand people not liking the change, I think we need to give Madhouse a chance to show where they are going with this. While I don't think I feel that it is a major a change as others might feel it is, I know it could have an effect. I also feel it isn't as big a deal as many have proclaimed. In a matter of days/weeks during the exam, Gon came to form three strong friendships. One led him and two others to travel to another continent to seek a friend that left. I truly believe he would have died for Killua at that point, despite having known him for a short time. Okay. I'm done with it. I've stated my peace multiple times, and I likely should have just listened to others and let the complaints pass over, but I can't help it. I'm annoyed. Not at any one person, just at the lack of allowance for adaption. :P Whilst I do agree that he developed a strong friendship overtime with the gang in exam, it was actually showed rather than said though in the manga it wasn't really said nor showed that much because A lot of what you said it just PURE speculation regarding Kaito and Gon since it's already been shown in the manga so I can't really take it into account. I think Madhouse intended to the end the series at Greed Island seeing how CA arc is the only arc they announced that they were going to adapt it even stated that it was supposed to be "shocking news". The reason why I reacted the way I did is because I am a long time huge avid HxH fan whose gotten attach to it. I'm sure you can see difference in fans. Also, I never stated the arc was ruined and exaggerated like Mikasa I just simply stated that the one of the biggest moments in HxH is ruined though I can proved wrong, but I still have faith in Madhouse |

zoleth said: Touche about the lotr and HP I literally pulled those examples out of thin air thinking you wouldn't actually look into google, but anyways I noticed how you didn't prove me wrong towards Uchuu Kyoudai So, it's nice that you proved me wrong about the book/movies but that doesn't excuse you of being an apologist for trying to compare anime/manga to books/movies.I know what adaptation fucking means, doesn't excuse the fact that MH created a plothole in the beginning and that there's been many many adaptations that have faithful adaptations, the only thing MH does judging from Claymore and One Outs is give anime original ending, so don't go around hiding behind a 2nd MAL account acting your some intelligent cunt, shoving down your speculation down our throats, we get it, you want people to be open to what MH has presented and not everyone likes it, me it bugged but I'm over it already. and we're taking this way farther than it should've so I'm done. |

| The thing is that the Madhouse rewrite makes perfect sense in the context it's in. Kite goes to Whale Island in search of Ging, meets Gon and then leaves. The conversation they have in episode 76 is basically an extended one of the one they had in chapter 1. So it basically has the same effect. Kite didn't stay with Gon that long anyway back in chapter 1. And you can still create a good relationship for Kite and even learn more about him. In the end Gon still respects Kite for saving him and being the hunter his father respected. A hunter that is kind of like him. Which was the point of Killua smiling while watching them talk. So it's all still there, just moved around a little bit. So they manage to work around without straying too far. It's not like the Nippon Anime making Mito and Gon's mom sisters or anything. |

I think it makes more sense and realistic for Gon not to recognize someone instantly for someone he hasn't seen in years especially if he last saw him as a little boy. |

bewareofhisoka said: I think it makes more sense and realistic for Gon not to recognize someone instantly for someone he hasn't seen in years especially if he last saw him as a little boy. True that, it makes sense for Gon not to instantly recognise Kite. But in the manga, Kite doesn't just save Gon. He tells Gon everything about Hunters and Ging. Kite is, in other words, the main reason why Gon even wanted to become a Hunter himself. Kite is the reason why Gon became so interested in Ging. And that, plus some stuff that will be happening in the near future, lead to a relationship between Gon and Kite that becomes the defining moment of this arc (the future stuff alone won't be creating that much of a relationship). I'm not trying to sound like a jerk whose pissed Madhouse went away from the manga, but the thing is, this hole they've created is something they're gonna have to fill up. As I said in my first post, if Madhouse can fill it, Kudos to them. If they fail, this arc won't live up to the same standards of the manga. |

| It does seem strange how they've completely changed Kite and Gon's relationship, I don't see any reason for it. Anyway, the foreshadowing for what's coming up was awesome. This arc always felt majorly inspired by the Cell arc in DBZ to me (minus the crappy time travel aspect). |
 |
| Holy shit, new OP song. Mm, so I guess this is the start of the Chimera arc. I like this Kite guy tbh. He has this sense of style that I'm catching on. |
