| You guys saw Gon's rape face? Damn. |

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 Your right, Togashi always showed us the mental state of characters in battle and so far the person that loses their cool gets defeated. 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. Good point but, Pouf did regain his cool after his speech. Yes and no |

| Great episode, fuck all impatient the impatient asses that act like kids. grsh said: Latest episodes were somewhat slow, but ok soon will serious fighting begin... producers are probably streching the anime episodes to fit manga chapters, since manga is on hiatus to give author some time. I really hope that anime will continue after ant saga... very interesting development afterwards. Lol. if they were gonna try to give the mangaka time then they would have to show only a millisecond every episode. |
| the start of the episode was amazing. The rest was pretty much just setup. Setup that was moving wayyyy too slow. |
| WHY. THE FUCK. do they have to keep narrating for HALF THE FUCKING EPISODE?? Seriously I have never liked the narration from the beginning because it made the whole anime feel silly and childish (I just dealt with it though, because it was only for the beginning and end, mostly), but I have NEVER been this pissed off at it. Killua's scene?! Even REPEATING ALL THE SHOTS again but without the voiceover? Do they not know how to tell a fucking VISUAL STORY? I mean I get that the manga has the narration text boxes and stuff but FOR. FUCK's. SAKE. There's some things you don't need to goddamn spell out! Visual Media is SHOW NOT TELL. UGHH As it is, it feels like HxH is being slowed down like crazy. I suppose the fact that they're trying not to catch up to the manga so fast has something to do with it, but for shit's sake. Don't turn the anime into a piece of shit along the way, please? |

Hearing his voice followed by the ending makes it much more epic. |

| This episode was quite good. Until i reached the part with Pouf... Plz just let him die.. But that rape face at the end tho.. Waow sugoi. |
| 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. |
| Too many narration but still a decent episode. I lol'ed at Gon's face at the end. I'm getting excited for the next one. |

I suppose the fact that they're trying not to catch up to the manga so fast has something to do with it, but for shit's sake. Don't turn the anime into a piece of shit along the way, please? Ironically enough, this statement is completely inaccurate. They aren't trying to avoid catching up to the manga, if anything they're racing towards the end. This episode itself covered material spanning 268-272 in the manga. Last time I checked, animating 5 chapters is not slowing down like crazy. Does it feel slower? Absolutely, that is one of the things I pointed out back when we started the palace invasion. However, Madhouse is going at a very good pace right now as far as how much material they are covering. Madhouse shouldn't even be concerned with catching up to the manga. In fact, the way they've turned on the jets with covering a good amount of material each episode is indicative to the fact that they aren't concerned. Togashi hasn't written any new material in 2 years now, the anime will end regardless. If you want to complain about the episodes feeling slowed down, by all means. But please check your facts when it comes to how fast they are actually moving through the material. Hell if anything at the pace we're going now, we could be finished with the arc within 10-15 episodes. |
| Amazing episode... the Gon stare... probably the best shonen ever made loving the build up |

| Good episode minus the dragged on part with Killua. 4/5. If they hadn't dragged out Killua's part 5/5 |
| I'm going to find a new source to watch these outside of Crunchyroll. Knowing there's already a new episode out there waiting to be watched that I can't is torture. Not that I wouldn't still watch it when it becomes available to free users on Crunchyroll. As for the episode itself, I rather liked it myself. I'll agree with those who complain about Killua's scene being dragged out because it was but honestly, I wasn't too bothered by it. I appreciated the change in animation when Killua killed those two ants and it did serves it point but yeah they could've shortened the time dedicated that point fairly easily. Pouf is hilarious, Youpi's fun to watch fight at least (Shoot was such a badass in this episode) & that ending was awesome so I'm not complaining. |

| Ok, so Poufi's freaking weird Shakespearean soliloquy feature/ballet dance/whatever the hell that scene was supposed to be pretty much defines this entire episode. The amount of "drama" he displayed in his little feature is comparable to a potato having its skin peeled. Okay, so he's hysterical we get it. Like, it's really sad to watch and COMPLETELY POINTLESS. And what did that little act accomplish? Nothing. This episode is almost resembling a really bad play. |

| knuckle a fckin beasttt , |
 |
| Manga readers stop complaining. As an anime only viewer I thought this episode was fine and interesting. The only thing is, watching this week by week is painful, but it doesn't make the episode bad. |
 |
| Hisoka, Illumi, and Pouf would be the best trio ever. Lmao. |
| So if I understand correctly, the episode was actually 5 seconds long? The drag was strong with this one, even though I do still enjoy the narration for the most part and Pouf's drama really killed me. It's crazy the show somehow manages to keep the tension with so little dialogue and so much narrating.  Gon is ready to fuck shit up (or get his shit fucked up by Pitou, depends) PS: could someone please tell Welfin to fuck off ? He's annoying. |

| Time continues to go by so slowly. So many different threads |
 |
| A four-way split screen wouldn't be enough to see everything happening in real time. o.o Shoot is very cool right now. What's Knuckles going to do once Meleo needs to breathe again? Pouf is as comical as ever. Morel has him trapped for now. That look on Gon's face as Netero motions that Pitou is behind them... |
| surprisingly Shoot is getting awesome, more Morell is always welcome Lmao at the butterfly man... i hope this slow mo shit stops soon, its like watching 300 anyways Gon, catgirl is just a bug so no reason to hold back, just tear her limbs an torture her untill she begs to die an only then crush her head, i might be underestimating catgirl abilities though |
 |
| "Catgirl" is far from "just a bug". Lol you are underestimating these ants. A lot of these ants are far above humans, especially the Royal Guard. |
| when i said "just a bug" i didnt meant that they are weak, the weak ones are the previous fodder ants not the royal guard who are supoposed to be powerfull, what i meant was that catgirl isnt human so no need to show any mercy on her |

silversaint said: when i said "just a bug" i didnt meant that they are weak, the weak ones are the previous fodder ants not the royal guard who are supoposed to be powerfull, what i meant was that catgirl isnt human so no need to show any mercy on her But even the Royal Guard have part human in them, they're still Chimera Ants. Youpi is the only one that doesn't have any human in him, he has Magical Beasts in him or something. With that being said, that shouldn't hold back Gon from beating the shit out of him. But at least you don't think they're weak. |
MyDarkness said: why is the narrator spoon feeding me obvious interpretations of event? is it a stalling method to drag the anime longer because it's catching up with the manga or something ? last few episodes worked so hard on getting viewers pumped up for this utter bullshit ? No, that's how it is in the manga as well. It's not there to spoonfeed the viewers. The information isn't always obvious. It's also there for dramatics. Whether you like it or not is up to you but not everyone finds it to be "utter bullshit". |

I've never read the manga, but even if the manga does contain this type of narration that does not mean it has to be translated literaly into an anime, because from what i've seen last 2 episodes it does not benefit from being an anime , you know us being able to exprience events by visual interpretation, also why can't there be an inner monologue for character to shed some light on events rather than that annoying narrator, getting on my nerves Because it would break the flow. It would be jarring if he's in the middle of doing all that stuff and he stops to give us his thoughts, a narrator can convey that while maintaining the illusion that everything is "ongoing". Besides, you are not getting the point of the narration entirely I'd say. |

MyDarkness said: basically ever since they left NGL the purpose/objective been the same , and previous episodes built just as much tension/pressure without being unbearable, hell maybe i just don't ''get it'' just my opinion. Yeah, maybe it's that. But anyway, that post I linked you to is pretty insightful, if you could be bothered to read it. |
