But even more excited to see, what happens after that, when Killua'll bump into the two no-name applicants... :x pokymon said: 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. I believe they're all referring to the two applicants that Killua meets after he leaves the game. Which is in the manga. 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. :) |
Keilis said: 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. 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. |
| I'm not really sure why they added extra stuff this week and last week and cut out the sushi part D: Admittedly, the original dragged it out a bit much, but even then. Bad move, Madhouse, bad move. I really hope this doesn't set a precedent. Oh well, I still enjoyed the episode. As for Menchi, I don't think her hair colour was ever confirmed in the manga? So the pink/green is the animators' guessing game. |

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" It'll be cut(lol) of course. Dude honestly just stfu, if u don't like it then don't watch it. That last post was a joke because of "that particular scene." 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 |
| Aya ♥ |
| horrible ep.... the original was way better imo |
| ye the original is indeed better but this one is not so bad at all i mean the target audience for this anime now is for kids and also i like the fast pacing of this new series |
j0x said: ye the original is indeed better but this one is not so bad at all i mean the target audience for this anime now is for kids this episode as cut as it was, was more violent than the old one |
| OHAI THERE AYA.LONG TIME NO SEE HEAR. But wait...where is sushi exam?. It was one of my fav Hanzo parts -.- great. Menchi is awesome :D Next episode - something for Killua fans (so its for me too D:). 3.5/5 |
 |
| I don't expect a cooking test to be all that violent -______- We'll see what happens next episode. |
| I don't really understand what was wrong with the pork but ok. |

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. I like this version even though I do prefer the manga and like the content of the original. But really can you imagine them animating the Chimera Ant arc? I'm trying to picture all the stuff that went down in the manga happening. It's going to be so watered down :(. Anyways I didn't think they'd cancel it after the 45th episode because they're so many fans in japan of the manga. If it gets canceled it probably deserves it in that sense since HxH has sold like 60million copies. If it can't sustain the fans it has now and the new fans to come, then it would have to really fail as an anime. I really hope it doesn't though and I hope they don't make it too childish. Also to the comment you said "I just don't understand that if you've got through 6 episodes and are still dissappointed then why continue to watch?". Why not continue? I mean some people probably didn't like the first 6 episodes of HxH since it was slow paced and to some, boring but it got better over time. The same can happen with this anime. Some of us fans can't easily drop HxH and we, deep down, want to like this version and see it get better. Anyways, there's my rant and I hope we'll continue to see this adaptation as well as hope that it gets better. |

pokymon said: j0x said: ye the original is indeed better but this one is not so bad at all i mean the target audience for this anime now is for kids this episode as cut as it was, was more violent than the old one this lol. Yeah at least in the original I recall a river being there so if they were to fall they'd have a chance of living. In this one I'd assume there was a cliff and they'd fall to their deaths if they failed. I thought it looked rather dumb when some of them just jumped or when that guy jumped alone. fearthebeard85 said: oh well, only 40 more episodes of this until it gets canceled so no big deal I guess Kind of random but you're starting to remind me of some dude on youtube who said this. I'm wondering if you are. I think he uploads the HxH episodes. |

Won't be surprised if it's not in the anime but I hope some version of it is because of course it would have to be watered down. |
"There is someone that I must meet again. And until that day... not even Death himself can take my life away!" |
| Guys stop complaining. Since its a remake of course they're going to cut some parts. They are assuming most Hunter x Hunter fans already saw the original series and are just cutting some of the unimportant parts. Just like in FMA Brotherhood, its just to catch up to the recent and newer stuff. That's when they will start to slow down and do 1 chapter 1 episode. |
| Brotherhood didn't cut stuff from the manga. It was just the first 10 or so episodes were kind of rushing through the story. If it's a matter of people saying the original then be prepared for a lot of cut crap because people have seen all of HxH in anime form except for the Chimera Arc |
|
| can't say i'm happy with this series compared to the older version but i'm happy that its back in the spotlight for new fans ... i wish Hisoka would get more screen time though .. |
 |
| This ugly feeling that I'm watching this show only because it's Hunter X Hunter. If I didn't love the manga and the old series I would drop this shit right now. Nah, I've given up on hoping that this will be a better reboot. Seemed like Madhouse spent all their budget on Chihayafuru. |

No I'm not the same person but I did comment that on one of his videos before it got taken down lol. I was upset when I made all my initial comments and looking back on it I came off as that guy on forums who everyone dislikes because they are so raging and irrational. I hope with this next episode that it is closer to the manga's without the add in character of Anita but I agree with Anime_Name that a certain part towards the end probably will be cut out where Killua walks up to those two guys seeing as how I can't think of a way they could sugar coat it without actually doing it. |

fishergirl16 said: Wow! Great ep. I hated how all the contestants disgraced cooking (not that I can cook in the least bit, but it still annoyed me xD) Same. Great episode overall. |
| To be honest, I liked the sushi version alot more. |

Haha, yeah you probably were him, don't know why I asked if you uploaded the vids though. It's okay to be concerned about the anime ending but I'm sure it won't happen. The manga's good and even though a lot of us are mad about what they've done to this new adaption, a lot of us won't just drop it because we love the manga/original. You seem to be a dedicated fan but don't worry. This adaption will just get more kids to like it which means more money$$$. Like Leorio says the world revolves around money and this anime will most likely bring in some more. pokymon said: fearthebeard85 said: a certain part towards the end probably will be cut out where Killua walks up to those two guys seeing as how I can't think of a way they could sugar coat it without actually doing it. they'll add this scene, instead of that from the manga and he'll say something like: "...if you get in my way again i'll kill youuuu..." <img src="http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/664/unled1c.jpg"; alt="unled1c.jpg" /> Shishishi, That's funny. Besides the picture, I can actually imagine him just mean mugging them and threatening them. Ah man, I feel like theres no way he's going to kill them. Oh well |

This was never my favorite part of the exam, but Menchi's so hot that I still found this pretty good. Plus seeing her reject everything was hilarious. And I liked old man Netero's introduction. |
