| Ep 7 should be Netero playing keepaway from Gon/Killua iirc. I liked that in the original TV series at least. |

| this is not good ---- the animators are too fucking lazy - look at their facial expressions while being chased---- the same thing happened in episode one when gon jumped to save katso the "happy" music is getting gayer and gayer they need to remove it and never used it at all- this isn't kindergarten-- the rest of the bgm is fine pacing is good the extra beard on netero is fucking annoying the way he jumped was too rushed and too "destructive" which was pretty lame' in '99 he landed perfectly :\ it just didn't feel right Hanzo's Ninja moments were great |

| Aya Hirano in my HxH? What is this I don't even... |
 |
| "Screw the rules I have green hair" - My first thought seeing Menchi with green hair xD. But it doesn't mean I hate it :P It's not the end of the world for me if they skipped out the Sushi (part of it was mixed with the pork), the story still made sense and the Egg getting was changed so that it was easier to explain how everyone who got an egg passed. To me, it's still good, but I acknowledge that the music is getting old (I didn't mind it for the first 2 or 3 eps). But I wanna mention that the things missed out from the manga are:
Kaito will return when relevant. Mito and Gon talk later. We will never see sushi. That's the only thing lost forever, stop trolling >.> |
| Looks like Aya Hirano got her job back. It was an alright episode. |
Kaito will return when relevant. That is a long ways away to not have information that was relevant enough to be put in the first volume of the manga. Mito and Gon talk later. This talk could be just as empty as it was before if the writers decide to keep with the quick, low information pacing. We will never see sushi. That's the only thing lost forever, stop trolling We are only 6 episodes in which gives the writers plenty more chances to cut down on information in order to save on time. |
 |
| WHERE THE HELL is Sushi part!? WHAT THE HECK is that updraft wind!? Is that all for Hunter exam phase two!? And that fan service, what!? Ok ok enough for the rant. I Can only hope next episode will be better.. |

Dude honestly just stfu, if u don't like it then don't watch it. Just because it's about Hunter x Hunter doesn't mean u have to watch it (I only say that because people use the excuse of wanting to see the Chimera Ant Arc or because it is still Hunter x Hunter). Stuff got cut out I know but literally I think the only reason some people watch this is to nitpick at what changes. The original had stuff that wasn't in the manga, did u complain this much then to? I honestly feel this would get more appreciation if there wasn't already the previous anime. I don't care what anyone says, I have watched the old anime mutiple times and read the manga multiple times and I think this version is good but not better than the original. I'm sick of people who say they don't like this version but continue to watch just to bash it. I will continue watching and am so glad that they decided to reboot Hunter x Hunter. |
| Good episode. Can't wait until next week. |
 |
| Great episode! also looking forwards for the next one xD |
| really enjoyed this scene, not too upset about the sushi part being taken out!! the egg part was great, and nice lesson we've learnt from this episode!! (somehow, gourmet hunters just remind of toriko... :/ ) Paul said: Looks like Aya Hirano got her job back. . LOOOL man, hirano did a great job as menchi!!! XD |
 |
| Not going on a hate rampage, because the sushi part got cut out. But I'd still liked to see it. It was the most fun after all (way more fun, then the pig-part enhancement). They just should've kept the pig and egg part shorter, like in the original. But what's with that updraft? Was it really necessary to put that in? Not that it was bad or anything. Just felt like a waste of time (sushi *cough*) Oh and Gon doing the job for all the other applicants sucks(with the pigs AND the updraft). What the duck, seriously. Next episode will be somewhat important. The ball-catching minigame shouldn't be bad. But even more excited to see, what happens after that, when Killua'll bump into the two no-name applicants... :x |
 |
| I liked that cleavage zoom, didn't think it was necessary though. |
Zoddguts said: Another episode where the original is far superior. Strongly disagree with your view. Original wasn't bad, and i really liked sushi part, but it wasn't logical. 'Make some god-knows-what kind of food and make it perfect!'... No comment. Also good thing is this episode contains most of essential material from original 9-10 eps, so it's like 2 in 1. Also a part with an egs of the Spider Eagles was done really well. So, no complains. Can't wait to see next one.=] |

If it had been a good test everyone would have failed and Netero wouldn't have to show up. I don't like the fact that Gon pretty much wins the exam for everyone. Like this more or less everyone could have passed if they would just stay close enough to him to hear all the explanations. |
     |
| I'm just not finding myself enjoying these eps as much as I'd like to. Everything just seems so empty besides Leorio. He seems funnier this time around. It just seems like a kiddy show so far. Maybe it's that damn bgm. It is just so terrible... |

Did they seriously wait for Gon's okay to jump? Why do they trust him with their lives like that? In the original there was a river so you could live from the fall but in this case that was way to risky. Think they want to emphasize in how special Gon is or something. The pig scene included. Also sorry since the no name applicants never appeared in the manga so they won't appear. Valaskjalf said: I liked that cleavage zoom, didn't think it was necessary though. It was lol. In the manga Netero looks at her tits and says oh ho look at those boobs in his mind. I didn't know he was a pervert til recently in the manga though and then after looking back on that chapter. BitchMaster said: Ummm... Did you, lyk, read the most recent chapters? YUP :) Current chapters are getting good. why do you ask? pokymon said: Meddigo said: Ep 7 should be Netero playing keepaway from Gon/Killua iirc. I liked that in the original TV series at least. it should be more than that and I'm anxious to see how they will deal with "that particular scene" Sorry if you're referring to how that girl wanted revenge on Killua I really doubt that will be in this version. I checked and it wasn't in the manga. If that's what you're talking about lol. x5exotic said: the extra beard on netero is fucking annoying lol i thought so too but in the manga he has it. Didn't realize that. |

| PLOT x PLOT Oh god that examiner.. so hot |
 |
| I have to agree that this sequence was better in the original series. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing bad about how it panned out in the remake, it just didn't have room to breathe. I agree that Netero shouldn't have made an earth-shattering kaboom when he landed, but we have to have some excitement in the episode, it seems. I can't believe "screw the rules, I have green hair" didn't cross my mind despite me flailing about Menchi's hair during the episode. Thank you, whoever pointed it out. It should be safe to assume Anita will be cut out of what follows. I hope the exchange between Leorio and Kurapika isn't, however. The awkward shower scenes in the original cracked me up. |
 |
| So many people are complaining about cuts or comparing it or whatever, I'm sure all the new viewers are finding it hard to get room for discussion, hahaha. I do have to say though that while the bgm wasn't so bad at first, hearing the same tracks repeated over and over again is starting to get to me too. This ep was alright, but the exam is staring to get to the more interesting parts next ep, so I'm pretty excited about that~~! |

I'm sick of people who say they don't like this version but continue to watch just to bash it. I will continue watching and am so glad that they decided to reboot Hunter x Hunter. 1. We can't dislike something if we don't watch it. Once we do watch it, of course we can complain about it. Just 'cause we have dissenting opinions doesn't mean we can't state them. Why should only people who like the anime get to talk about it? 2. We're not watching it to nitpick; we're watching it to compare. It's not like we want it to fail. If we're watching the remake, it's because we love Hunter x Hunter and want it to succeed. Of course we'll make comparisons; the original existed, so why pretend it didn't? 3. The original had filler, but the filler felt very in-place, natural for the most part. There were some weaker fillers, but it definitely still felt like one package. Why would we complain about good filler, if it only adds to the anime? 4. The reason we complain is because the original anime showed us to what potential animators could achieve with the quality of content given, and then some. The new Hunter x Hunter couldn't achieve the potential the original could, even by alternative means. It also didn't succeed in staying true to the manga, which was what the makers claimed it would do. I'm a big fan of the original anime, not so much the manga just 'cause of the average art. I really wanted the new anime to succeed, but it ultimately was a disappointment. An expected disappointment for me, but still I wanted it to fare well. I'm hoping it'll slow down a little once it reaches the point where the original ended. |

This. It's most likely this just won't be in the next episode. But that'd finally go beyond "uuuh u haters shall leave" stuff. Scenes like that are a crucial part of Killua's personality and his relationship with his family. That shouldn't be left out no matter what. Same goes for the scene in the tower, of course. |
| |
| I'm excited for next episode... more Killua. Did anyone else see that super weird Killua scene in the preview? o.o I like this version too so far. The pacing is nice and doesn't feel dragged on. :) |

I'm hoping it'll slow down a little once it reaches the point where the original ended. I'm not saying u can't state your opinion I just don't understand that if you've got through 6 episodes and are still dissappointed then why continue to watch? The original was good and I loved it but I feel that it will ultimately be the downfall to the the new version because people compare them too much. I want this version to succeed but in my opinion it's going to end up getting canceled due to people not being able to put the old one in the past and watch this one with an open mind set, that and because it's low budget. I am almost 90 percent sure at this point that it will end after the 45 episodes that have been ordered due to these reasons I stated, at this point, not only will they not get to the Chimera Ant Arc but they won't even make it to Greed Island. I just can't believe how this series averages an 8 on this site which is fairly good but then when people comment on it almost all of it is negative. The last thing that bugs me is that I've been told before that I'm not a fan of Hunter x Hunter just because I support this version, I don't get how wanting this anime to be a finished adaption of one of the best manga makes me not a fan. |
| There was one person who kept posting negative comments over and over who is who i was telling to stfu, I don't have problems with people voicing there opinoins or dissappointments, I just can't believe it's so hard to find people who actually like this version. I'm sorry for snapping at anyone, I just want to see this get farther than the old one and get a full adaption of the manga, which means hopefully no more hiatisuses. This is one of the greatest shounen series ever so I want to see it get a full version, not one that gets halfway through again and then is done. |

For me, I'm watching it because I want to see how they adapt Yorkshin. I want to see what they can do with it, because even if they do a shoddy adaptation of it, the content is still good. The thing is, it's getting an 8 here because people don't think it's terrible as an anime in general; however, compared to the original anime, it's underwhelming. We don't think it's crap or anything, and in fact, I'd say it's pretty OK. The negative comments aren't because we think it sucks; we're just disappointed, but we realize it's still OK work. At least, I think people are thinking that. And I'm sure you're a fan. I respect that. People come to like different adaptations. It's just this one generally is less liked than the original. You're a fan if you think you're one. Don't let people tell you otherwise lol. |
Zoddguts said: To put it simply he needs to man the fuck up. People will have different opinions from you. Some positive some negative. Deal with it. I voiced my opinion and others voiced theirs, I agree the original is better but this one isn't terrible. I respect your opinion to, I should stop bitching about it because some people will like certain aspects of it and at the same time will dislike certain aspects of it. I for one so far have been mostly disappointed with the fact that they cut out the scene with Kite and that all of the applicants follow Gon's lead. Is there anything else I need to man up about? I will not be as arguementative anymore because as someone else said that is just problematic. Back to what I initially was going to put in my OP. It was a decent episode but I never really cared for the second phase, I always liked the airship episodes so can't wait to see what happens. And again, I will not belittle anyone else's opinions anymore because that was just stupid. |

This remake has a completely different target audience than the first series. Most of the people watching it on TV in Japan would not have seen the first series, and would not be comparing them. |

Just because it's about Hunter x Hunter doesn't mean u have to watch it (I only say that because people use the excuse of wanting to see the Chimera Ant Arc or because it is still Hunter x Hunter). Well I want to watch the definitive version of Hunter x Hunter, don't blame me is the definitive version makes more changes and cuts than the original. I don't care what anyone says, I have watched the old anime mutiple times and read the manga multiple times and I think this version is good but not better than the original. I'm sick of people who say they don't like this version but continue to watch just to bash it. Sure you don't. You not caring about what anyone says perfectly explains your ragin over what I said.Other people think what is being done should be bashed and that this new version isn't good. Who's right? I'm certainly not going to shutup about my complaints just because you think the show it good, I don't. Deal with it. |
|
| Good as an episode, a failure when it comes to the whole 2nd test. 3/5 Overall disappointing, though. Cutting down on non-manga filler is all well and good but too much is being left behind and this is only the 6th episode. Makes me worried about what's to come. I've enjoyed this new one so far but it really isn't living up to the old one, which is a shame. At least it will go longer then the old one, right? Something to look forward to. |
probably would've made phase 2 last more than one episode... which is not ok by me. Why? What is the big deal about number of episodes. It would have been 1 more, hardly record breaking. Well I am going to love seeing what's OKAY to cut because it's nonessential next time. If an anime is based on a manga then the boring bits should come too because who knows, somebody might have liked the boring bits. |
|
| Good episode, not great. It'll get REALLY good with genei ryodan. Greed Island episodes are going to be the best. |
| 6 Horrible, just horrible. I've completely lost my faith now and I'm starting to wish the remake would never happen. I never thought it would be possible for me to hate Hunter x Hunter anime but they've managed to screw everything up. So far every episode was either bad, ugly or bad and ugly. But the last two were just horrible. In this one the joke about Leorio's face being the same was omitted (which is one of my favorite scenes) and instead we've had filler sliding scene and creators showing us the search for boars. A minute was wasted to see how Gon and others go through the woods to find pigs, lol. And while I'm at it, it's hard to believe they wouldn't see pigs from this high ground (even if we take into account that trees would obstruct the view). But this was acceptable. What was not however was the method of incapacitating the boar. Apples falling from a tree could KO the killer-boar? Are they f*cking serious? If it was so easy that a mere apple could do that this species would be long gone. That's just ridiculous and treating the viewer like an idiot. And Menchi evaluating pigs was a fail. They've mixed up two tests into one, a brilliant idea. NOT. They've cut out some great scenes and prevented the viewers from getting to know better some of the characters. They also didn't show that Menchi deserves the title of a Hunter and that she could do sth none of the participants (except certain two individuals) could. Getting the eggs was sth that 42 Hunter candidates could easily achieve. And updraft? Are you kidding me? If the wind would be so strong that it could hold a person I don't see how the eggs could be still where they are. FAIL. Also, talk about being lazy, spider webs are in rectangles, lol. Another proof that old anime had better graphics. And the trumpet music is really annoying. It could fit a slap-stick comedy not HxH.  |
| oh well, only 40 more episodes of this until it gets canceled so no big deal I guess |
