and if those voice actors want to make out so bad, they should do it real life instead of traumatising young children


That's really funny, considering the show contains blood, murder, and extreme violence. It also contains Hisoka... he alone is enough to traumatize anyone.

Anyway, I don't think people would complain if it were two girls flirting, so there.

A few comments I have since this is one of the few times I read through this thread before actually watching the episode since I was very late on this one:

1) I saw a lot of complaints about when Genthru and the other two bombers slaughtered Nickes and the others. With those complaints at hand, I was expecting a lot worse than what Madhouse actually did. I understand in comparison to the manga, that scene appears pretty badly censored, but it still made it's point. In fact, the scene wasn't handled badly at all, it showed several wiped out bodies and a good amount of blood. Censorship in shounen is nothing new, I just don't get why this series takes the blount of the complaints. Not that the people who are complaining don't have that right, they do make valid points when comparing it to the manga. It's just that this isn't the first shounen series to take a horrifying scene and tone it down *looks at Bleach where Ishida should've gotten his arm torn off by Ulquiorra and instead loses a sleeve and some blood*

2) I was expecting a lot worse in the GI tutorial at the end of the episode with the people talking about the boy love stuff. Honestly, this wasn't even the worst of those Killua and Gon skits at the end of the episodes. As Candor said, Killua and Gon's seiyuu's come up with the stuff for those skits. Do they take some liberties with showing off some boy love? Absoultely. Is it necessary? Absolutely not, but this skit wasn't all too bad. It actually made me laugh. I personally have gotten to the point where I don't really care what they do with those segments anymore since they have no real impact on the show or the characters whatsoever, so this one was no different for me.

Anyways, really enjoyed the episode. We are starting to get into the thick of the GI material with all of the important shit that occurs in this arc so I can't wait for everything next week. I like the way they made Gon's Rock technique look, it's pretty much what I expected from what we saw of Uvo's Big Bang Impact, but still nice to see.

One last thing, someone correct me if I'm wrong but in the OVAs of the original series didn't Killua use leave to go take the Hunter Exam? I don't know why this is bothering me, but I feel like that's the way it was done in the OVAs but I can't remember.

Great episode. Love how MH shuffle the scenes to make the story flow better and additionally made it suspenseful.

To those who complained about censorship, get in touch with reality is my only advice. Or probably get out more and experience how compromise works in real time.

As for the BL, get used to it or stop watching now. It will become more blatant as we go.

I don't know about you guys, but I fell out of love with gore that doesn't add to the story back when I was teenager. I sometimes wonder if I've desensitised myself from gore by reading through GANTZ Phase 1 and Berserk. Once that sort of stuff doesn't illicit any kind of emotional reaction any more, it just becomes boring.


I only saw GANTZ's anime and I agree with you 100%, especially since the ending was so terrible it made the entire show seem pointless.

5/5 for the episode, I am so excited for the conclusion and to see past where GI last left off.

Killua leaves the same way in both however in the original he just simply leaves walking off into the sunset and ends up in the town. In this episode, he runs into Elena then is teleported to where he wishes. I believe you are bothered because in the OVA he flashes the card then leaves and every character who has used Leave so far in this game teleports out but is not shown talking to Elena. Sorry for writing so much.

I usually disliked Gon+Killua stuff, mostlythe "recruit Killua" mini-arc, and was hoping for more Kurapika vs Troupe, but Killua and Gon are a lot better in this arc imo.

Whoa a certain someone, if you want a more "manly" show, watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure or something...

And if you don't like "the gay", don't watch the after-episode segments. Easy as that. Easier than trashing something that others do enjoy that obviously Madhouse themselves has no problem with.

Oh, come on. You actually expect Madhouse to be able to show that in a early morning timeslot? At least the explosions actually happened and it more than got the point across.

Good episode. That Abengane guy was pretty awesome here.

It was interesting seeing the Nen-removing beast.

btw I was sure there would be some defense mechanism or something to prevent people from enetering the island from the outside xd n we even saw one of the guys who designed the game! yeah! playin' volleyball using Nen! The way to serve a ball~

Anyway it's amazing that the game was created for Gon in order to make him stronger! Finally some fatherly love (right there)

So much love for is episode.

I knew the Bomber was gonna just "LOL jk" with that release spell. Not happy about it, though. >:/

At least one guys escaped, and with an adorable vacuuming lizard-y mud creature too!

Pretty stoked that Killua's doing the Hunter Exams. So many things going on at once, and lots of fun.

And continuous starry eyes in Bisky's direction. Don't think I've been attached to an HxH side character this much since Melody -- poss. even more. So cool. ♥♥♥♥

Agreed. That page was just gratuitous gore and Madhouse's depiction got the point across............

More training. Killa takes a break to head to the hunter Exam one last time. So the real highlight to this episode was the bombers sly and craft agenda that he pulled over the eyes of all those sorry players. He simply lied to them, only to so he can get them all together and kill them. In shot he manipulated the poor fools for his own. personal gain.

Next episode will quite interesting, it will be focusing on gon, killua and also kurapica.

So it's been a year since the show started. Crazy to see how far they've progressed since the start. And we still barely know anything about Leorio, oh well. It'd be funny to see Tonpa again at the hunter exams. Funny how they talk about it being close to new years when it is close to new years :P

Fuck that Boomer dude, so evil :|
But that black dude was clever enough to avoid getting killed by him. Too bad all the others didn't manage to make it out, I hope he manages to avenge all his comrades.

Gon is progressing at light speed. They just can't stop the monster he's becoming, and Biscke is loving that :)

So people just can't enter on the island from the exterior. Well, that would have kinda broke the purpose of the game x)

So the entire point of the black guy contacting Gon and Biscuit was? That scene really confused me, since he admitted in the next scene how he was basically lying to them about his intentions.

Then you have a scene where they buy spell cards, Gon somehow instantly knows these cards were from that group and then they just casually buy amazing ones such as Leave and Prison. With the value of simple monster cards, sure.

Otherwise a good episode.

Gon's established his signature Nen style in the form of Rock Paper Scissors with not just only one nor two principles, but three! By the time he's ready to take on the other more competent competitors of Greed Island, Killua will finally be a Pro Hunter as well!

It's a shame that all of them were killed by the Bombers save for that guy who had that ugly creature eat the bomb at the very last second. Gon's gonna avenge the shit out of them.
