| First of, the narration is what makes 50% of this anime. This is the best narration i have ever seen in an anime. Also they need to take it easy, else it's gonna be over too quick. Nobody want's that, just slow down and get ready for 2 big fights!. |

| If I drive for you, you get your money. You tell me where we start, where we're going, where we're going afterwards. I give you five minutes when we get there. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything a minute on either side of that and you're on your own. I don't sit in while you're running it down. I don't carry a gun. I drive. |
| Yay, I'm hyped for the next episodes fight with more stills, slow motion and more narration. |

Magi never had an episode half as boring as this one. "and when madhouse try their best to build up the tension and cover the whole manga" No, they are not even trying, read @-MgZ_'s post, I don't feel like repeating. You don't need to tell me to "eat shit", the narrator is telling us that all the time, so much that some people like you got used to the taste. |

From what I've seen on other forums, this arc is pretty polarizing among manga fans of the series as well. Some people speak of it as if it were the zenith of the medium, while others consider it to be terrible and call it the worst part of HxH. Some anime-only watchers are displeased with this arc as well, and not just because of the heavy narration that's begun since the invasion; they just straight up don't like it. They're perfectly entitled to their opinion, as this arc is certainly not everyone's cup of tea. All I have to say is, I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be let down by the invasion if it continues like this. I'm personally loving it, but I could see why a lot of people don't. That's what happens when an author is as unconventional as this. |

Rendio said: Good episode, got a bit too high expectations from the insanely good two recent episodes - whole episode is a 4/5 for me, however ending scene with Netero poiting towards Pitou and Gons face bumps it up to a 4.5. Just insane. And I really can't take it anymore, "pkKodama" - you ruin my mood when coming into these discussion threads. I hate arrogant people like you the most, "yeah, go ahead and laugh of your own mediocrity." Hahahahaha, are you freaking serious? + You need to learn how to state what you say as opinion, not facts. The worst part is that you sit here on HxH topics writing shit like this 24/7 without end. I state whatever I want. You're just mad because I sent you a comment and blocked you. Even when you write "Hahahahaha", you're actually crying, right? 24/7? No, that's not true, if you look the gap of time between my posts, you know that's nonsense. If you don't like my posts, don't read them. Simple like that. クズ野郎 |

| Great episode, I actually like how these episodes are done. It keeps me anticipating and excited every week. That looks Gon had and the dark aura around him..... :o Shit is about to go down!!!! |

That's what happens when an author is as unconventional as this. Big deal if they don't like it. As long as we are enjoying our end. I am an anime-only viewer and I am loving every episode of HxH, the lowest was 4/5 during the Netero invasion. The flashback during this episode was too minuscule to have even bothered me unlike the one in the Netero invasion. The most important are the Japanese viewers though. I hope they are liking this pace... |
| Are there ever any discussions about the actual episodes anymore or are these just constant flame wars now? Like people aren't even arguing about the content of the episode, they're just arguing for the sake of arguing. A little late but I really liked this episode. Looking back, as a whole it wasn't as good as the previous but it had parts that were better. Watching Shoot, Knuckle and Morel team up on Youpi was obviously the highlight of the episode. They used good applications of their abilities in order to slowly try to dissect the much stronger Youpi. Morel also was able to engage Pouf in their battle. There were some slow moments such as Killua taking out the soldier ants for Ikalgo and Pouf's whole internal strife. While the Ikalgo scenes were unnecessarily slow I liked the way they managed Pouf's dramatic inner monologue. Then, of course, there was the epic moment at the end where Netero manages to glance over in Gon's direction as he's walking out with the King and gets a little smirk on his face as he points back in the room where the came out of to confirm to Gon that his prey was nearby. Then we see Gon almost lose his cool with the rage and bitterness just brimming out of him. That scene was beautifully executed and has me excited for more. |
| Wow, Pouf is weird. Nuff said about him, haha. His wings are pretty though. :3 Ooh, Gon looks so cool. Can't wait for him and Pitou next episode, hopefully. Will Pitou abandon healing Komugi to fight Gon and Killua? But of course, Gon wouldn't let Komugi die. At least I think so. And anyways, the King would go on a rampage lol. Overall, this whole arc has been progressing way too slowly for me. I know there's not that much manga material left, and they want to milk the show as much as possible, but I'm starting to hate how every episode accounts for about 2 minutes of this battle. xD It's still amazing, don't get me wrong, but did Killua helping Octopus guy have to take up about half of the episode? It was a scene that actually took less than 5 seconds. |
| What's up with all the hate for Pouf? He's fucking fabulous. http://i.imgur.com/K3tLlTL.gif |

Surprisingly enough, they've been doing like 3-4 chapters per episode since the palace invasion started. It may not feel like it, but they are moving quite swiftly through the material at this point. |
| WTF Pouf D: |
| I love HXH but that Killua scene was too much, the slow motion and the explanation took like half the episode away. This is my first time experiencing this arc so Im really anxious to see how everything turns out. I wasnt really a fan the Pouf scene either but if thats the way Togashi wrote then its fine. |
 |
| youpi would be perfect for H |

| I kind of like Pitou. Too bad Gon is gonna kick its ass! I hope the fight won't be in slow motion. I'm fine with a little build up though. |
| the last 3 episodes are WAY to slow, seriously the killua scene could have taken 15 sec, but it taken like 5-6 minutes, overall the episode was not bad, but slow motion piss me off a bit.... |
| Not as good as the past two episodes, but it still has it's moments. I felt the Killua moment was too slow than it needed to be, but I could see why they did it so as to fill up time until the ending with Gon. Although opinion is divided on the Pouf moment, I actually liked it as one of the things Togashi does well when it comes to fights is letting us know what is going through the character's mind and learn more about them and what we learned from Pouf's rant is that although Pouf on first appearance, seemed well composed and calm, but is the most mentally unstable of the Royal Guard who is completely yandere for the King. Also loved Gon's face when he's about to face Pitou |

Vanser said: What's up with all the hate for Pouf? He's fucking fabulous. http://i.imgur.com/K3tLlTL.gif Yeah agree Pouf is awesome! He's my favorite Royal guard and his journey (motivation, drive, and the decision he ended up making) is well written and interesting for me. His camp yet menace presence is just so much fun. Togashi tend to have a 'cold' nuisance for his characters, so the ever fanatical and melodramatic Pouf is a something different, even from the likes of other theatrical, dramatic characters like Hisoka, Suzuki (from YYH). Not every character needs to be 'cool', 'badass' blah blah. Maybe I just don't like typical grave/serious/badass stuffs (I actually look forward to Pouf more than Netero/King fight actually). |
| holy shit that gon stare was epic haha *_* too many slow scenes this ep. didn't mind it with netero but this was ridiculous they repeated so many scenes with killua running in extra slow motion too ugh i LOVE this show and i love this arc, but it's dragging on nearly as much as one piece as of late |
| welp that was slow, how many chapters are animated on this episode? it feels like they dragging this too much |
| Didn't expect we would get a lot of narration this episode too. Hopefully, they settle down by telling the story through animation instead of full of narration. |

Cresherhsm said: Seeing the whole thing animated has been making me tolerate the characters in general much more.Count me in the Pouf train. I was indifferent to him when I was reading the manga but seeing this scene of his animated really won me over. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufQYSNaKA_w Fucking fabulous indeed. |
  |
| Yeah, I like Pouf quite a bit too. I think what Togashi has done with him since the King met Komugi has been pretty interesting. Plus, his rants are pretty fun. Though I fear for Komugi's safety if he defeats Morel. i will say, however, that Pitou is my favorite Royal Guard. I am very invested in her fight with Gon. |

| About Pouf train, he's definitely the smartest guard and his scene saved the episode. |

Killua vs Rammot is a prime example of that, first Rammot had the upper hand because of Killua's fear and was beating the shit out of him. Ones Killua got rid of the needle Rammot started to shake and got easly killed. Right now, Pouf is a hot mess and things are not looking good for him. |

| They took the narration opportunity to do more episodes than necessary and cut on animation budget ==> Profit. It s all about $$$. Also the narrator is pissing me off, if we have to hear someone voice for that long, at least they could have hired a better voice actor (Norio Wakamoto, where are you ? :( ). I am pretty mad overall, slow pace does not mean it has to be shitty. |
