| Oh Hisoka you're such a clown. I couldn't stop laughing when he was scoring the hunters and just had this big look of disappointment. Ging isn't quite what I imagined, but certainly not disappointing. I'm surprised by how unpopular he is. That plan of his was awesome, I wonder who his prey is.

 |
| Hahaha. I love the new animation to the opening... especially the part where Leorio looks like he is so powerful! Hahaha. It was also a nice change that Killua and Alluka look like the main characters... Gon is out of the picture for a change. |

| Great ep. I like how Ging pretty much planned everything from the start. That's what happens when a lazy person tries to do things. :P What an amazing OP. I didn't even consider the Election arc truly an arc but I got to say they got me excited for whats to come. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| Good episode. The Zodiac character designs are pretty boring in my opinion. |
Candor said: Will they ever animate how Hisoka met Chrollo with the troupe while the whole chimera ant fuss was going? I'm starting to think they won't. Anyway, the animation of the op is great. Didn't mind the ED, it's a good one, and this new one definitely feels like a nice ending to the series. Oh and great new previews. The Gon-killua previews were dumb and silly.

I guess getting rid of those dumb sketches at the end was not enough? |

Samhiuy said: kcaco said: If it's really important to you to find prove of this, This is the link to the animator's weibo and you can go sign up an account and ask her yourself. http://weibo.com/niuya123 (yes she did the art work of the Chimera Ant Arc ED Killua that's on her banner, and she mention in the 01:16 posting that she worked on the upcoming episode 138 and 139 as well, an the screengrab of the OP are the frames she drew art for.). No worries, it is probably true, although I want to see the original post where she answered that. I'm Chinese, so yeah, I can understand it (I assume you are Chinese too). I don't think others will know where to find it even if they sign up if they don't know Chinese lol. Yes I am :D You can sign up Weibo to follow this girl, she has lots of fun notes on working on HxH as animator. Like she mentioned she just finished (upcoming battle spoiler) She also mentioned on why only Leorio looked back in the new ED, the director said it's Leorio getting impatient and turn around to ask the photographer "is it done yet?" lol. |

| WTF did they do to Pariston jaw?! he looked normal in the last mission trailer : I'm still hyped to see him thou, this is the guy who screwed over Netero and co in the ant arc. Can't wait untill he starts trolling the others. XD I'm also happy to see Hisoka, Illumi. Leorio and Ging. Especially Illumi and Leorio, its about time they got to do something. This is the first time that the opening > the ending in my opinion. Damn every character looked awesome. My favorite part is when Gon walks away from Killua and we see Killua being sad and than some kid runs towards Killua and he starts to smile again. Awesome episode but its making me realize that this HxH will end in +- 2 months T_T |

| Interesting episode. Zodiac guys look pretty wacky. 4/5 |
 |
| Great episode. So much to look forward to from the new visuals in the opening. The Zodiacs are all very interesting and unique. Ging is so smart. So many familiar faces that we get to see once again. Finally get to see Hisoka and as always is wanting to fight someone very strong. Illumi returns. Cannot wait for next week. |

I heard the arc is going to be 12-13 episodes in the anime. Seems about right for the content from the manga but it has been awhile since I've read the election arc. |
Candor said: gedata said: You either misunderstood or I'm just not getting what you're talking about.I guess getting rid of those dumb sketches at the end was not enough? Remember those goofy little segments where Gon and Killua will tell you about a random character/detail of the HxH world? The ones stopped appearing when the Greed Island arc ended |
|
| Always great to see a diverse set of characters introduced. Pariston is already a favourite, probably followed by Cow-san and Dog-san. |

| Same OP music... Seriously.. What are Hisoka's motives? lol |
| The new opening sequence is awesome. Probably my favorite one so far. The ending sequence made me realize how much I miss the crew being together. I'm still waiting for the day the main crew reunites. |

| The new op animation is sweet and that alternative HxH logo looks mad. A new version of Hyouriittai huh? I digged it before so I'm not to sour that they didn't change it It's nice seeing the characters from the previous arcs Looks like Hisoka doesn't want his shotas to die I really want to punch Beans in his dumb green face |

Like she mentioned she just finished (upcoming battle spoiler) I don't know the real name she goes by on the staff list (she's part of the Japanese staffs as she lives in Japan). Her nickname online is Niuya, or 希 in Chinese. For example she worked on episode 85 (mentioned she's in charge of the Killua scene when Killua and Gon were on bed, she's a Killua fan herself) and on the staff list there, there're three people with Chinese sounding names under "Key animator" (原画). ANN might translated those names into Japanese romanji. Seems like she worked under Abiru a lot. here're some detailed anime working schedule she shared before: http://s9.sinaimg.cn/orignal/67c89502gb0837c8c53c8&690 http://s16.sinaimg.cn/orignal/67c89502gb0837da3baff&690 |
| ^A mighty big help. Thanks! So, this means that Abiru-san is in charge of that upcoming part, most likely. That's actually quite fitting! And, the opening scene is beautiful. I agree that it's the best, animation-wise. |

| the zodiac's have a very interesting group dynamic its very entertaining plus Hisoka and Illumi damn this is gonna be a fun arc |
 |
| What a great episode. (: The zodiacs were all very interesting which made what could've been a very boring process rather interesting to watch. I have to wonder if Pariston will win or if some crazy twist will occur for an underdog to take the victory. This is the chairman arc and all, but I'm sure that a lot of the focus will be shifted to the Zoldycks. The new opening was definitely amazing as well. I'm glad to see that Leorio's powered up since the last time we saw him and that he was even in the op at all. I was glad when Killua was the one to go with Gon when they all split up (so we would be able to see more of him), but with a show that had four main characters at the beginning, it just didn't feel right for half of them to pretty much become recurring characters as the show progressed. The ending was nice too. ovo The remix was catchy and I enjoyed looking at silhouettes of the mains with that beautiful changing bg. The suits were a very nice touch and Leorio being the only one to move by the end of it was quite amusing. |

| I'm in love with that snake girl. Cutest Hunter x Hunter character so far. |

I'm not too sure what Candor is talking about, either. I remember there being a shot of Hisoka taking the nen remover to the Phantom Troupe. I remember there being some sort of cover or something with Chrollo, maybe that is what he is talking about? But, yeah, Illumi mentioned that. |

HybridMBL said: I checked a program that I use called Animator's Corner and cross checked the animators who have worked on EP 85 and worked on ED 5 and the names that matched were Ryo Hiramasa Masahiko Sasaki I'm more inclined to to think the latter since Ryo sounds more like a masculine name but who knows I'll know for sure in the next two eps since you said they worked on 138 and 139 Wow your digging is amazing! *O* You nailed it! I think it's Ryo Hiramasa. One of the chinese sounding name among the 85 credits + ED credits is 梁博雅 (Pronounced "Leung Bog Ah" in Cantonese as I believed she's from the Canton Province). If you romanjized each Chinese character in the Japanese way: 梁 = Leung = Ryo 博 = Bog = Hira 雅 = Ah = Masa Fits!!! EDIT: Oh this thread in Chinese forum (http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2641167134) confirms it. That is her name. |

| visuals for the OP were great sad that there wasnt a new ED but this new version sounds nice episode was kick ass kinda funny thinking about how Hisoka could of had all that fun if he had actually cared about what happens around the world :P also looking forward to whatever made Leorio mad pissed in the op |
 |
| ED didn't bother me because the last one was my favorite one so far. The video gave me a YYH vibe, especially the photo at the end. |

| The OP was amazing! The ending, though... wasn't bad but I don't know, that part from Hyori ittai doesn't fit imo Good to see Hisoka again! |

|
jreginald said: lxixsxa said: too many fillers. feel so bad. The show's following the manga, the hell fillers are you talking about? He's probably referring to how this arc has significantly less importance than CA, which makes sense considering it's length. |
Kreemy said: jreginald said: The show's following the manga, the hell fillers are you talking about? He's probably referring to how this arc has significantly less importance than CA, which makes sense considering it's length. Still not a filler. As long as it furthers the story/gives us information/follows the original source then it's not a filler. Part of Episode 130 would be considered a filler because a huge part of it were just flashbacks. |
