| Killua can't open or break that box but he can open a gate weighing tons!! and the way they lift or carry that box seems like its not that heavy.. hmmm..... Nen is quite tough |
 |
| Good episode, not much happened, but yeah. |
| i was bored for the most part but the final minute or so was rather interesting, I guess it was nice that a female character had a bit of screentime as well at this point man im only watching this to find the OMG so dark, best action animu evar, OMG people die (like that hadn't been done before in other shonen), this aint no shit shonen boy, this is seinen an such stuff that people talk about but I haven't seen so far Avato-chan said: this part is where it gets goooood! spiders/yorkshinnnnnn!!! yaya! ive heard this before, hopefully this time itll be true |

| The "this ain't no shonen" is already done in previous arcs. You missed it. It doesn't follow shonen cliche, and it didn't. Right now you are merely watching with a close-minded attitude just to complain. |

Well the best part imo was the development in character with gon and killua's conversation and what it means for the future, rather than the simple reveal of ging. It seemed that to you it was just some talk no jutsu or something. |

I thought that was a pretty bold move made by a little kid and I especially liked his way of thinking, even though I would have liked to know more about his mom. Anyway, people always say it's not worth watching until the Yorknew Arc, and I agree to a degree but I thought HxH's beginning with the Hunter Exam was already pretty solid. But what the other guys said, idk if you'll enjoy the rest of the show (even though the next arc is one of the greatest things I've ever witnessed). |
| Aww, gon has a nice home-life. |
VampireOjouChan said: Gon's dad is an asshole imo. He should have gone to see him even if once an year. He is an asshole, and a shit father. Makes me wonder if Gon was really so lacking in a male role-model that he ended up obsessed with a father who was never there. |

Not only that but Gon's father also designed a game where seemingly hundreds of people died just so Gon could be a little stronger. Made me wonder for a second if Ging didn't have anything to do with the whole Chimera Ant arc, maybe he set it up all LoL (I know, probably not) GI Arc. |

I do know but come on I am sure he knew people would die in a game like this. Rule makes it so you can't just kill to win but it doesn't really prevent you from going on a killing rampage. And killing isn't all that useless considering that it helps to obtain monopolized cards. Remember that GI isn't just any old game. |
DalPuri said: OMG...your posts just make me think more and more about the characterization portrayed in the anime, and how it actually is tying together & working. Wow.Makes me wonder if Gon was really so lacking in a male role-model that he ended up obsessed with a father who was never there. Thank you. |

Wow.Makes me wonder if Gon was really so lacking in a male role-model that he ended up obsessed with a father who was never there. Thank you. I don't really see this being true. From episode 1, Gon's motivation for finding Ging has been wanting to know what about being a Hunter is so great that it would make Ging abandon his kid to be one. It was always a quest of purest curiosity, contrary to some search for compensation from a deprived youth. |
| I am absurdly curious about that ring. Why didn't he put it oooooon? D: Ging seems like an interesting guy, in any case. Getting some more backstory for Gon was cool. I had assumed his mother was dead, but it would be interesting if she wasn't. She could be a Hunter too, for all we know. Looking forward to the next episode. |
| This anime really knows how to keep things interesting and engaging. Didn't think the box would be opened by the end of this episode. |
 |
| Gon and Killua's friendship is so cute! Looking forward to finding out more about Ging. I thought it was adorable when Gon talked about how Mito-san is the only mother he's ever needed. |
| I just knew they were going to mention Playstation when they said memory card! Lolz and a cassette tape? Daaaamn |
| Mmm, that whole episode made me curious about Gon family. The relationship between Mito and Ging was... odd to say the least. They looked really close, yet not really. Also... is that you, Emiya Kiritsugu? :P I hope eventually Killua find something worth to fight for. It look like he feels like an empty shell. At least, he have some good friends. |

| Gon and Killua took a bath together!!! Best friends ever! fun episode, am looking forward to the next episode. |
| Wonder what the ring and memory card are for? |
| Teehee Killiua just took Gon's bed. That awkward moment when you eat dinner with a religious family and you start early. |
 |
| real asshole is Gon not giving 2 shits about his mother but instead obsessing over his father |
After I Crush Your Dreams...... Your Bones Will Follow...... |
| Very peaceful episode. You get to see Gon and Killua just be kids. |
| of freaking course i loved the gon and killua parts!~ that part with gon and how he feels about his mother was done different (surprise surprise) than the '99. both were feels induced though :'( my mother found this "home arc" boring, but how could it be boring with the best bros ever? :D |
 |
| Such a nice and heartwarming episode. Needs more Kurapika though! |
| dayum, on to the next one |
 |
| I immediately thought Ging's voice was familiar when I heard it. After looking at his voice actor its the same dude that voices Kiritsugu in the fate series so no wonder!! Fucking awesome. That ring is very mysterious wonder if its something to use to unlock some cool ability for gon. I wonder if there was anything else on that damn tape besides his dad asking him if gon wanted to find him, which was more like a rhetorical question anyway lol |

For some reason I never came across info that the show starts off so damn slow until I already watched a number of episodes. Its been very much a typical shounen, I had those high expectations from ep 1 so I was kinda upset. Especially at Gon being a very typical happy go lucky shonen protagonist The hunter exam arc was very typical stuff for most of it, same with the heaven's tower both were nothing special besides the introduction of Nen, and this buildup and hints towards phantom troupe stuff . Looking forward to the show taking a darker turn :P |

| One of my favorite episodes <3 seriously the best friendship in anime ^ ^ |
| Gon and Killua's friendship is so beautiful <3 |
 |
| While the bromance was fun, it was funny and annoying at the same time when Gon mentions that since the only person his age on Whale island is a girl, he didn't have any friends there. As if her being a girl completely negates the possibility. I could hope this was a hint at some awesome female character that this show sorely needs in its main cast, but I suppose that's being too optimistic. |

I found the lack of a female character in the main cast to be remarkable considering how banal and cliche female characters are so commonly portrayed in the shonen demographic, normally adding nothing but baited one sided romance mechanics or even limiting the depth of a character. While there are female characters in the series, I respect the unconventional approach Togashi made when displaying the characters. I remember reading an interview with him mentioning how much he dislikes female characters and considered Keiko (Yusuke's girlfriend in YYH) to be his least favorite character because she was a manga cliche. |

I realised even as I was submitting that post that the one thing that could be worse than no female representation in the main cast would be a token female character with no depth. It's just that Gon's line rankled a bit; but it's also true that boys his age (and younger) are often sworn enemies with girls. P.S.: I now happen to be acquainted with Melody and Bisky, and both have satiated my urge to see a great female character get some screen time (not to mention the antagonists). |
| Lol @ Killua's awkwardness when Gon is talking about how close they are. |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| When I heard Ging's voice, all I could yell was.....RIKIYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| 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 and Gon's friendship <3 Mito-san (Y) |
| Conversation between Killua and Gon at the campfire made me tear up. |
 |
| What the hell is that question you stupid Ging of course he miss you ***** I;m so pissed now. |
| I also first thought about card... damn, am I as stupid as Gon? |
| Gon and Killua are one of my fave duos TTATT I told y'all they warm up my heart ❤︎❤︎❤︎ Young Ging looks like a hawt version of Gon LOL. I love that determined gleam in his eyes. Unf. He seems way more mature and intelligent (sorry not sorry, Gon; but the way you were gonna open the box using your Hunter card instead of Nen....... LMFAO) |
| I am kinda confused, the relationships in HxH 1999 and HxH 2011 is VERY DIFFERENT! (Such as in 1999 Gon's mom is Mito's sister BUT in 2011 Gon's mom is just some other woman) Also: (In 1999 Mito is Ging's sister in law but in 2011 Mito is Ging's cousin... They changed to the point that you could say this is quite an incest relationship if you combine both relationship version) It's nice to see Gon's reunion and his discoveries of his father Ging (again) Ging really looked like Gon when he's at Gon's age. Except that he's taller! |
