Zeno I know is a transmuter. I'm pretty sure Silva is as well but I'd have to go back and look to be sure.

Awesome episode! I can't wait for more. G'argh. ;w;
Yes, the closing theme song is really awesome. The opening is awesome too, but I wouldn't mind if they change it or keep it. :3

Intense episode!

Incredible episode, way better than the original imo. The animation just keeps getting better. I don't recall Zeno laughing when he caught Chrollo in the original (or in the manga for that matter), but hell I loved it; made him look even more like a badass mofo XD.

You know, after the controversies I started in last week's thread I didn't want to be "that guy" who had a few complaints about the fight since everyone has seemed to love it so far. So thanks for breaking the ice there lol.

The episode overall was good and the fight was still amazing. But unlike with the last fight between Kurapika vs Uvogin, I think I'm going to have to lean towards the fight in the previous series.

I feel like, if it weren't for 85% of the action scenes cutting out the background/setting for the animated action backdrops (not sure what they are actually called, if anyone could help me out that would be great) then this fight could've been so much better, maybe even potentially better than the fight in the orginal. Besides the moving action backdrops that were overused the flow of the fight and the animation of nen and that didn't feel as good as the previous two, but these are more minor complaints because the fight still came out really well.

So yeah, I say my complaints would be cutting out the background/setting during the fight. I'm one of those guys who enjoys seeing the environment and setting in which a fight takes place because it is an important element that goes into the fight (imo, to some it might not matter where the hell a fight takes place).

So overall, the fight could've been better but it was still great. If it weren't for those damn moving action backdrops I probably would've enjoyed the fight just as much as the original if not more.

I actually noticed the bad animation at some points too (they really need to work harder on Kurapika), but it's somehow understandable because first they're doing the movie, 2nd it's hard maintaining the same quality for ~10 episodes without some drops in it, especially now that they've crossed the 50th ep mark.

Still images, stiff animation, characters look like an invisible 8-year old boy was playing with action figures. Just still images clashing.
Hyper-space background was cheap, I mean the animation itself was bad why not try at least to draw some nice backgrounds...but no, cheapness to the max.


Chrollo's "creepy" face made him looked like he had some terminal disease.

...really?

I think this version's animation bested the 99 version by miles, despite Chrollo's "creepy(?)" face. And the battle was short even in the manga, so the amount of action showed by this ep is to be expected.

And lastly, what backgrounds did you expect from a fight in some random room in a city building?

Woahhhhh, drama. The animation isn't 'shitty', though Kurapika looks a bit weird sometimes. The fight though was absolutely stunning, as always. I love the 99 adaption but honestly, you can't say that animation was better than this here. It was clean and I love it but new tech just means the 2011 adaption does and will have better animation. Plus Madhouse.

I always forget how awesome HxH is and then Sunday comes and I'm screaming for more... ahahaha. I laughed really hard when Gon and Killua just ran out the train XD. What if the trains start up again, kids? (Those two. My gosh.)

This is just because I love Shal, but Hunterpedia was absolutely adorable. ;w;

I agree completely. The older Hunter x Hunter had way better animation. There was no static fighting and the camera angles were a lot better. It's like I'm watching some poorly animated American cartoon where the characters are so small that you can hardly see their facial expressions. So far, the only fight I actually enjoyed was the Uvogin vs Kurapika one, the camera angles were good and I could actually compare it to the '98 one. It may have even been better.

I really don't know why you guys compliment the animation so much. It's like you've been deprived of good animation so much that you just appreciate anything that comes your way. If you've seen anything like Blue Exorcist or even Yu Yu Hakusho, you'll know what I mean. In my opinion, those shows had amazing animation and fight scenes.

Just my opinion though. I still appreciate that HxH is being animated and it's not exactly unbearable to watch. Oh and the OP is shit too.

Great episode, but I think I would've preferred a dark room instead of a bright one.

As for the animation, I'd say it was fine in this episode. What this series have, though, is great directing. Even if the animation isn't Gon vs Hisoka quality, it still comes off as good.
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it!

OK since no one has brought this up yet:
The Zoldyk's really suck as assassins don't they? I mean isn't an assassin meant to kill a target quietly without being seen and stuff? How is a giant purple dragon and freaking NEN LAZORS stealthy by and sense of the word?
Also lol at the people trying to say the animation in this version is worse than the 99 versions, I mean there is opinion...and then there is just being plain wrong...by the way golden eye looks well better than the new call of duty.

Not necessarily, an assassin's job is to kill someone. The means are up to him. Not all assassins are ninja

lol wut

You know that old animations, having low number of pixels, exhibit bad quality especially in dark room scenes. Sure, the action was fast-paced in the 99 version, but that does not make it better than the 2011 one since both were fluid enough. The 2011's somewhat slower transition during each attack (esp. physical ones) was appropriate since the room was spacious, and the appearance of Nen was faithful to the manga. And so far, only in this battle scene will I give the nod to 2011 over 99 (I normally prefer 99 over 2011 on soundtracks)

I respect your opinion, but I do not see what was funny in mine :P

what he said plus, it's not like they are hiding that they are assassins so they don't have to do anything by stealth. Chrollo is also a target that simply can't be killed silently, he is too strong for that.

---
But about the episode

This fight was better than Kurapika vs Ubogin imo but I still prefer the old version of this fight. It was good though but the fight from the 99 is my favorite and this was not enough to top it. The episode was good though looking forward to more.

I really liked this ep, though I had some minor irritations while I was watching it, nothing really notable. Appreciated the filler added, especially since it ended the ep where it did (xD) and I like seeing the kids running and Kurapika squirming

As for the fight, I don't care about it as much as some people, but I still thought the start was a bit iffy in quality. Liked the stuff from the benz knife and after though. (and zenooooooooo)
oh, the VAs were brilliant this ep too (I was getting irritated by the "Bean" guy's VA for a while, so maybe the rest stood out more or something)

Ah, such a wonderful episode! I'm finally starting to feel like giving this remake a 10.
I think my only complain, was that on the original this fight was on a dark room. I think it added to the atmosphere and made fight feel a bit more intense. Still, the fighting itself was better than the previous version, congrats Madhouse.
