That was an absolutely good ending. I won't say that this ending is rushed because... Well, the arc is not finished yet! This is why Hisoka texted that the corpses are fake.

It's clear to me. How to watch Hunter X Hunter:
(HxH 1999) > (HxH OVA) > (HxH OVA Greed Island) > (HxH OVA Greed Island Final) Then finally... (HxH 2011)

Gotta watch em' all!!!

What a good conclusion, for now.

I never thought Lucifer had his own agenda to kill the 10 dons so that he would escape. What a brilliant bastard. And Kurapika got his happy ending, even if it was for atleast 1 day.

The spiders were actually able to pull this off. Definitely best villains.

Also, that Kurapika with the scarlet eyes. It almost looked like he put those scarlet eyes on his own.

And that fight between Lucifer and Zoldyck was really cutting it close. But it is nice to see Hisoka keep up his end of the bargain.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.

I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Meh, the Zoldyck family is disappointing, just cancelling the fight like that. Booooo...
Also Hisoka I really did not need you to tell me that those were fake bodies, that was pretty obvious.

Overall it was better than I thought and I'm actually looking forward to the OVAs. 6/10

Unpopular opinion : Kurapika (12:53~) red eye scene is worse in the 2011 version.

Didn't expect Zeno to say that he would lose against Chrollo if he fought seriously; Mister good-character-design really is a monster I suppose. Kurapika's frustrated and frightening walk was incredible, it really got to me. A good adaptation, but it was very lackluster, inconsistent, and just weak at times.

@Gator While I am comically late, I wanted to say this: Hisoka wasn't telling us that they're fake bodies, he was reciting that from his phone. While you probably figured it out later by watching the OVAs, I wanted to mention it in order solve some future-watcher potential confusion.

So everyone complaining about a lack of closure is doing so from 2010 onwards, 8+ years after the continuation OVA came out. Aight.

I swear some people in here are so goddamn dense, complaining about an open ending when there's a sequel OVA that answer most of the questions. That's like someone whining about Season 1 being open ended when Season 2 is right there to answer everything. Just a 1 minute research and you would know that they had to stop here because they caught up to the Manga and it was either this or a shitty filler ending.

Okay, so initially, this was supposed to be the series finale. They were literally going to leave things like this. To be honest, looking at the episode from the standpoint that this would be the last HxH episode ever, this was a horrible episode. The action and plot were great, but the pacing ruined it completely. I was shocked when all of the Spiders were shown dead… like wtf, where did that come from? If the Zoldycks were responsible, why not show (at LEAST) a quick montage? Before the ending seen with Hisoka and the text message (which I’m sure many people accidentally skipped over or weren’t aware of), I legitimately thought all of the spiders were dead. And so, they legitimately had me sitting there irritated and appalled. On one hand, I admire HxH for being unconventional and pulling things that no other anime story would be capable of, and yet I’m a bit angered. Again, assuming this would be the last episode, they really rushed things and put a blunt and abrupt end to an arc-wide buildup. This entire arc characterized the spiders only to wipe them out with the flick of a finger in the final episode. Poor Kurapika… he finally thought he could move on with his life. He thought he’d achieved his objective of avenging his people. All of that was in vein though. What a StRiPtEaSe.
Heck, my primitive brain didn’t even realize Hisoka was texting Kurapika in that final scene. I saw him with the phone, but didn’t make the connection — especially since HxH uses a foreign language. I thought Hisoka was just playing with his phone and narrating to himself that the bodies were fake.

Having said that, another observation… this was DARK. Scurry man. The shot of Hisoka passing the bald mafia guy with red eyes. Nightmare fuel. Not to mention the (fake) corpses of the spider members. They really didn’t spare the blood… I mean, that was gruesome detail. Something about it was eerily realistic. The way the blood was leaking out of various places on the body, designating unique forms of murder. Finally, I just realized the prevalence of guns in this arc. Lots and lots and lots of different types of guns. Violence at its finest.
All of that considered… isn’t this supposed to be a children/shounen show? Wasn’t this aired on television programs that children would watch?
Don’t get me wrong here.. THIS ISN’T A COMPLAINT. In contrast to my first paragraph, this is actually some praise. I appreciate HxH going from childish to mature in an instant. Like I said, they really push the envelope. Even One Piece wouldn’t paint corpses in such a manner. They make the show compelling for demographics of all ages. But I just really thought the target demographic was children.

Any who, thank God these creative but ignorant show runners listened to the complaints of the viewers. (Because, if you read up on it, people were apparently very disappointed by the finale.) They actually went on to make new episodes for the Greed Island arc — and to add some extra resolution to Yewnork arc.

I loved this series. It’s one of the best shounen I’ve ever watched. Everything about the show is charming and unique and aesthetically appealing. The only shounen I can think of that would rival this series is FMA or possibly Naruto. I thought One Piece, the first leg of the series, was pretty good — but this show took the cake.
Everything about it is FRESH and DIFFERENT from the other shonen. I’m seeing concepts and settings and plots that I’ve seen from nowhere else. 9/10 for sure. The Heaven’s Arena arc was garbage, but if that arc were omitted, this’d be a 9.5/10 series for sure.

I’m excited to begin Greed Island. Once I’ve satisfied by OCD, I’ll finally be able to start the 2011 series, having gone in perfect chronological order.

Lot of things happened this episode, but it was great. Interesting to find that the tv anime finished at this point, not even the arc is over, but I know about the OVAs. The Zoldycks were running a race to see who finish first. It would be interesting to see a Zeno vs. Chrollo. I was kinda impressed that Kurapika didn’t notice the Phantom Troupe was alive, but I don’t have any idea how he could guess it, Hisoka told him in the end.

What a disappointing end...they ran out of budget HARDCORE. So many stock photography assets, last couple of minutes were just recycled animation...damn. So upsetting because the show is so beautiful otherwise.

In episode 62 of Hunter x Hunter, titled "Defeat and Disgrace," Gon and Killua face off against Knuckle and Shoot in a challenging battle during the 13th Hunter Exam.
The episode showcases the exceptional combat skills and strategic thinking of both teams as they utilize their Nen abilities to gain an advantage over each other.
Tensions rise as the stakes get higher, and the episode ends on a cliffhanger, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the next episode to see how the battle unfolds.

Well, that was an anticlimactic end to an otherwise solid series. Thankfully, this isn't the end of the actual as the ova and the 2011 version would cover more of the series for what I'm told otherwise I would be pissed at this conclusion. As for the series,the character, atmosphere,and story are all good but the animation can be rather inconclusive with it being looking great and unremarkable the next scene.So,7.5/10, guess time to move on the ova next.

Fantastic episode yet again.
I love how the Zoldyck's just decided to stop fighting Chrollo, they're in it for the business after all.

A lot of disturbing scenes though, the Don's being controlled like that and even the auctioneer.
Having the ability to make a copy of every single item like that and also being able to make fake copies of themselves (which somehow needed to be said by Hisoka? - Not like we didn't know they weren't actually dead lol)

All in all, very strong series, they shifted the tone a lot compared to the first 2 arcs even if they were already taking death very lightly in the series.
There's a level of maturity to it especially with the current arc which is not all too common with a lot of "shounen" anime.
The only thing is that the delivery of the lines felt a bit flat at times.

Definitely excited to delve more into it with the OVA and sequels.
