| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So I guess KILLua really KILL'd them. Anyway I really liked this episode. Though since I didn't read the manga I can't say how more faithful it's being. Hoping that the Trick Tower isn't censored though. |

| It was pretty good, it dissappointed me that one of the few times we saw blood the kill was censored. If I hadn't read the manga or saw the previous anime I probably wouldn't have know that Killua killed them. That's the only thing I could really complain about since I thought they were going to cut that scene to begin with. |
| Gon is so speedy!!!! I love this show so much!!!!! |
     |
| I love Gon, Killua, and Netero! Ah, they're hilarious. I want to see more SO badly! Can't wait 'till next episode! Killua, stop acting like you're all that. xD I like seeing Gon and Killua so bad at everything compared to Netero. It allows room for ALOT of development. Great episode! 5/5 Kamuki said: So I guess KILLua really KILL'd them. Haha! Nice pun there.. Cheesy though :3 fearthebeard85 said: It was pretty good, it dissappointed me that one of the few times we saw blood the kill was censored.

| Loved this episode~ the music was quite good...and the game was fun to watch :) I wonder if anyone know Killua killed them! Guess the girl after Killua was a filler~ I hope we will see some blood in the tower~ if not that's still fine ^_^ |
| I wish they put the thing about the girl and killua issue.... Though of course putting that would result into two episodes instead of one... oh well... But then again, these side stories are what constitutes a great anime and made the readers love it I really think it's no good to overlook these side stories... If people think that this anime is good so far with just what they have seen in this 2011 hunter x hunter, i suggest watching the old hunter x hunter. Those were really good and inspiring. |

The scene with Anita wasn't in the manga, completely made up so not much was missed with that. It's not that it was bad to put it in the original but it wasn't in the manga. |
| FAVORITE EPISODE SO FAR! Mostly because Killua actually killed the guys. I thought this anime was going to head in the childish direction and honestly thought that the scene would have been skipped or that Killua would have just scared them with his evil aura. HE ACTUALLY KILLED THEM and there was blood! There's a lot of hope for this new version after all, shows that I guess they won't censor it to the point where there won't be as much killing and to the point of no blood. fearthebeard85 said: It was pretty good, it dissappointed me that one of the few times we saw blood the kill was censored.

That's the only thing I could really complain about since I thought they were going to cut that scene to begin with. EHHHH!? Dude did you really think they'd show Killua slicing there heads open like that. Come on! It comes on in the mornings on a sunday. Kids could see that. But Atleast he killed them right? Maybe they could of just shown Killua move his hand fast and show like a few lines showing where he slashed them and then them falling and blood splashing out after they fall. BE HAPPY THOUGH |

| I know what you mean with that but from what I understand One Piece airs even earlier and that is more graphic. It doesn't bother me too much but it worries me for trick tower. One of the best scenes might end up getting cut out. |
| Wow, actually an episode I found to be "okay". The crucial scene with Killua at the end wasn't perfectly conveyed, but that wasn't possible anyway. It's still a sunday morning anime. But it was fine that way. Killua's urge to kill rising after Netero got that last ball was shown quite good. Also the animation was better this time, imo. The ball catching scenes were way more fluent, then the Hisoka fight scene. Speaking of him, the cardhouse scene was fine too. Didn't like Kurapika explaining why there won't be an exam on the ship though. That way it wasn't funny at all, when Tompa came to look up, if they're beat or anything. Was way more humorous in the manga. :x However still would bet that I'll hate the next "crucial scene" from Killua. But that won't be in episode 8, I think. |

One of the best scenes might end up getting cut out. Ahhhh I see what you mean but think about it. This may be a scheme to get the audience in and then be more lenient on the violence later. If you think about the patterns, it starts off with Hisoka making that guys hand disappear in the 3rd episode, then Hisoka killing those guys with one card and no blood being on the card and then it upgrades to Killua actually killing two people and blood showing. You see a pattern? As the series progresses, the violence is getting more and more apparent. Hopefully it'll continue and soon it'll be a little more graphic so we can enjoy the york shin arc and chimera ant arc more. And what best scene are you referring to from trick tower. Put a spoiler thing in before you tell me so the nonmanga/nonoriginal anime HxH viewers don't get a spoiler. |

| Finally episode that really mades me feel a little like the old HxH, Killua amazing as always killing people. Gon and Netero fun as always. fearthebeard85 said: Ollyx2OxenFree said: And what best scene are you referring to from trick tower. Put a spoiler thing in before you tell me so the nonmanga/nonoriginal anime HxH viewers don't get a spoiler. Ya hopefully the wont censor that i love that scene for old HxH but will see specially since this is very much a kinder version :/ |
Kamuki said: So I guess KILLua really KILL'd them. it's really important for the later plot and the character development of killua that they indroduce him as a dangerous kid and the complete opposite of gon. |

| Ooooh my Gaaaaaaah Trick Tower, I can't wait! |

| Best episode yet. This week's animation made up for last week. I would really love it if they put some of the extra padding from the original anime in here. I know nothing is lost because it wasn't originally in the manga, but I really loved some of that stuff, especially the ship part of the exam. |
i was upset about them agreeing with tonpa's shit but then HNGGGHHH out of fucking nowhere |
| Wow, Killua suprised me! Didn't think he had such an evil personality - but that makes him even more likeable ^^ |
 |
| 5/5 awesome as expected I'm glad they skip the issue killua/girl, it wasn't too exciting. Next episode is tower phase already!! Dont'want to wait :/ |
| YEAHH, THIS IS IT!! Really, finally I get the "feel" of HxH in this episode. This is what HxH should be. Even though it still censored, but I love the scene when Killua kills the 2 applicants (at least there was some blood there). Depict exactly who the real Killua is. 5/5 for this episode. The following episodes must be like this or even better. |

| Haven't read the manga or seen the original series, so I didn't know Killua was such a beast. Which makes me like him even more. Although I want more Kurapika and Leerio as well. |
Kamuki said: So I guess KILLua really KILL'd them. I wouldn't be so sure, in the original i thought Killua had killed them too, but in the end they were only injured. Boring episode. Even Killua killing was boring, damn. I wonder if i would have liked this more if i hadn't watched the original. |
Liinah said: Kamuki said: So I guess KILLua really KILL'd them. I wouldn't be so sure, in the original i thought Killua had killed them too, but in the end they were only injured. I think that in the beginning of the episode they said ''44 contestants'' and at the end ''42''. |

Put a spoiler thing in before you tell me so the nonmanga/nonoriginal anime HxH viewers don't get a spoiler. WTH. How'd I forget that one. I thought you were referring to celestial tower lol my bad. Yeah, I can't wait to see that. My expectations for violence in this anime went up from episode 7 so they'll probably at least show him |
"There is someone that I must meet again. And until that day... not even Death himself can take my life away!" |
I gave up on trying to like this new Hunter X Hunter. It's just way too childish for me. |

That's what my subs say, at least. |
| It's okay. Killua wins. I liked this episode, truthfully. I haven't seen the previous anime recently so I can't really compare. I am enjoying this one so far though. Gotta love Killua... I love it when he's pissed off. |

| This episode was okay. I was rather looking forward to the downtime the applicants have enjoyed on the airship in the past, but seeing as this remake is all about cutting out the "fat," I already knew I shouldn't expect the breathing room to be included. Beyond that, the animation was beautiful and the background music was tolerable. For once, Hisoka's theme didn't completely feel out of place; maybe I'm just getting used to it. Can't wait for the tower next week~ |

Kage said: This episode didn't disappoint me nearly as much as episode 6 had. Back to the ok idea of the new HxH. Glad to see an inclusion with the two examinees but... It's true the anime doesn't say they died, the ride starts with 42 participants and ends with 42. It's not just the subtitles. The dialogue says 42 (yonjuu nimai) in both sections. In the manga they had started off with 42 and then started Trick Tower with 40 (so yes they had passed the egg exam but their dreams ended early lol). Hmmm...Maybe they aren't dead yet but are in very bad condition and will die later and it'll be announced in the beginning of the next exam. Another possibility is that maybe they think that there's 42 applicants and haven't found the 2 dead bodies yet. |
"There is someone that I must meet again. And until that day... not even Death himself can take my life away!" |
| So Killua is like Sasuke Uchiha in a way. He is so awesome and badass and this was my favorite episode so far. 5/5 |

| I hope they don't censor Killua in the next episode. I will be pissed. |
| Great ep, this anime fails to bore me... Gon's possitive attitude is lovely - instead of aiming to win, simply aim to accomplish something. Killua's treatment of his family = creepy + funny. Hikarusuke said: So Killua is like Sasuke Uchiha in a way.

| i'll mention it once just in order to stop this pointless dispute. in the manga they announced the number of participants that will take the 3rd exam slightly before it had started so guys, be patient and wait for it |
| oh man his was awesome :3 Killua FTW. I really can't wait for the next ep every week. |
 |
| Fantastic episode, and now we get to my favourite part of the manga : the trick tower and its vote by majority (plus some awesome Kirua action) ! |

Another possibility is that maybe they think that there's 42 applicants and haven't found the 2 dead bodies yet. I don't think it matters whether they died or not. The point was to show off Killua's brutality that resulted from his assasin upbringing. They did that pretty well. You can see and hear that much like Hisoka, Killua ends lives without a concern, "they have the same smell" as he put it. We will see next ep if they go with 40 examinees or 42. Even if they could continue they would fail Exam 3. We know it doesn't really matter and I know that's why they showed that part. Just trying to justify possibilities to the people who didn't read the manga/watch the original as to why, at the end of the episode, it still said 42 applicants left. pokymon said: i'll mention it once just in order to stop this pointless disputecussion. in the manga they announced the number of participants that will take the 3rd exam slightly before it had started so guys, be patient and wait for it :( ...It's not really pointless lol. It's a discussion so we're discussing. Thanks for clearing it up and yeah, we'll be patient for next week but calling it pointless just because u know what happens isn't necessary. |

| where is the blood ? :D |
Rurushu88 said: where is the blood ? :D Why should there be blood? Killua just sprayed those guys with a can of Pepsi and they fainted from the shock. |
