| thank god ponzu didn't die. it would have been a waste. I just wish gon can somehow save ponzu. that would be awesome |
 |
| This arc is seriously boooooooooooooring. |
| Wee! More Ponzu!!! And nice to see Pokkle's arrow! |

| I think they're adding a little to much filler. Sure it helps to develop the character of the Squad Leaders and the Ants in general, but I'm finding it to be a bit excessive. |
| That was a lot of mediocre filler.... Can't wait for next episode one of my favorites scenes will get animated. |

 |
| More scenes with the Pimp Koala please. Seriously loving this arc right now. Glad Madhouse is expanding and filling in things the manga seemed to have left out. It seemed like with the constant hiatus the story felt disjointed sometimes. So the filler is giving the arc more of a completed feel and increasing the scope of the arc. This episode showed the effect of giving Ants names which in turn increases their individuality. Making them even more scary because they're kind of doing their own thing now. Again sense I didn't read the ant arc in full just here and there I had no idea the fight between the ants and the ruler wasn't in there. |
Candor said: It's the longest arc in the series and it should have another 50 episodes, so these slow episodes are necessary to build-up the ants properly, and Madhouse are doing a good job so far.. I can agree with this, the build up is fine if they pick up the pace eventually. They can't continue this pace forever. I don't mind it for now, I just felt this was the first episode where the build up scenes were meh. |

I don't mind it for now, I just felt this was the first episode where the build up scenes were meh. Well I seriously don't think they will keep this pace much longer and I have a feeling the pace will go faster next episode. I am sure Madhouse is doing filler because they find it necessary as build up. Not that I dislike the pace so far. Every episode always has something interesting going on. Well to me that is. |
| Still going a little bit slow, in my opinion. Madhouse is really taking their time with this arc, cuz shit's gonna get crazy afterwards. It's the calm before the storm. Something is brewing in the background. Lol. But it's already so obvious with Kite always giving us his grim looks. I'm also taking up my time, just going with the flow. Starting episode 80, I'm pretty certain things will become rough. |

Anyways, Koalaman seems to be first Chimera that i actually like. How are these fillers? This episode introduces Meleoron (one of the most important Chimera Ant in the arc) and Gon & friends entered NGL for the first time. This is a buildup episode, certainly containing IMPORTANT part of the arc. I wasnt saying that whole episode, or even most of it was filler.I guess i should have write ''filler adds'' (which were there for sure, check manga if you still insist) so everyone understands what i meant?, meh. ovoon7 said: Also, the people calling this filler clearly don't know what filler is. Filler is when a series wastes an episode doing nothing for the sake of buying the manga time to catch up. You can call a filler anything that wasnt originally in manga and was added to anime.Even if it's an build up that is actually necessary and good, i can still call it a filler if it wasnt in manga. |

Billbillstar said: fearthebeard85 said: Fillers don't develop characters they destroy characters, also most of the ants in that have appeared become completely irrelevant later maybe in a few episodes, and Gyro isn't even mentioned until way later in the arc and it was never stated that his men resisted againts the ants also, so idk why madhouse decides to have him appear and his men.ovoon7 said: The definition of filler as it applies to anime: A segment of anime, whether it be an entire episode or part of one, which does not appear in the manga of the title. Fillers, as the name implies, "fills" an episode with non-canonical material which has been written usually by the same company which animates it. This definition is completely debatable. I agree with ovoon7 in that an adaptation may add particular scenes or what have you in order to develop a character, etc, whereas 'filler' applies more to a completely useless episode. |

| Pokkle got really strong, didn't he? Anyway, i liked the episode, nothing really important happened, but, we saw Pokkle in action, and that the ants are getting too unique, that seems to be a problem... |
| NGL and their strict rules on no technology and many other things. Won't this backfire on them with all the Chimera Ants killing the people? Great buildup for future events. The Chimera Ants are all going at each other with power/positions. They seem to have a different take on things. I wonder if some of them will fight each other? Glad to see Pokkle in action. Getting this feeling he will die along with Ponzu and those two guys. Whoa that Koala Mafia is killing people left and right. While that Minotaur/Snake Chimera is going after NGL ruler. |
| This episode was really good, Madhouse can deliver some good filler. I'm glad they expand a bit on the koala, I like the dude. |
| so who is going to beat the Koala ? I need some spoils |

MonteGabar said: But I expected them to be done with About the ending... I also expected to be done with such by now. I've been thinking we should be farther for at least two episodes, but maybe that's because the ending (and the opening are/) is a little overzealous. /vague, hopefully non-spoilerific responses |
 |
| Good build-up episode. Personally, I like that the series has now taken a slower pacing. Looks like shit will hit the fan next episode (for the first time in this arc). That was one creepy koala, I think the seiyuu nailed him. Just one little head scratcher related to future episodes... |

Ok... the debate bout what is filler and what isn't aside. My personal opinion i rather enjoy a some what slower pace, for this amazing arc, i mean would you rather it turn it onto something like Magi from A1 studio's. Something stretched out just a little bit gives them time to really tell the full story, even if their is a few extra added scenes. I mean it sure beats the HELL out of having an arc completely condensed and missing many character developments and plot threads. It is the true way anime should be adapted. |

| I haven't read the manga, but Is it just me or is this whole Chimera Ant arc kinda weak? |

domokun1134 said: I haven't read the manga, but Is it just me or is this whole Chimera Ant arc kinda weak? Well, it seems to be well documented that this arc has a "weak" start. That said, I've been enjoying it. |

MonteGabar said: kchorrex2012 said: Just one little head scratcher related to future episodes... Not really a spoiler since it was already adapted in the first arcs of the anime, but since it's made of nen and not physical it wasn't shown, here and even then. Does that white brain fluid instead of blood after a headhot count as censorship? (and blood stains looking like watercolor) I sure hope it doesn't stick around. It sure makes the violence worse instead of toning it down (much like the Fire Emblem 3DS censorship fail). Ow, so that was it. Thanks for the info :) Yeah, I was also weirded out by that white goo, but since I read this part of the arc about... 4-5 years ago? I assumed it was a forgotten detail from the manga. |
|
| Really... cynical censorship assumptions still? We're not in the Hunter Exam anymore people It's the fluid the Pink Koala Bear was drinking from his jug if you were paying attention. He shoots it into his victims heads to the point of it bursting depending on how much he drinks. I don't know how some people are watching the show but blood is pretty identifiable as blood as seen from Yunju's rampage |

I mean it sure beats the HELL out of having an arc completely condensed and missing many character developments and plot threads. It is the true way anime should be adapted. Yeah, well im not really complaining about pace, because as you, i prefer slower pace with more time to get used to characters, get into story etc. What i was talking about were filler adds, which are kinda risky to add.Mixing them with real material could make some plot holes, or make characters look not as good, or as bad as they are originally.I saw some anime that made this ''mistake'' many times, they added some small extra scenes to stretch out episodes, and they actually ruined some important points in story or characters.Of course im not saying that this is the case in HxH because the extra scenes in here dont ruin anything, and they add some nice feeling to it.I guess im just worried they will add too much of it in future? i don't really know, but well for now im happy with it.As i said it was imo pretty good ^^ some of scenes didnt even feel like extra scenes at all. |

And you do know that's what blood looks like right. Seriously are people still worried about censorship? |

Besides that scene was filler anyway, It can't have been censored if wasn't in the manga. But censorship will probably be an issue, perhaps even a major one, as of next week I think |
|
| Another filler episode... Not as good as the previous ones, but enjoyable regardless. |
 |
| Ponzu did an ace job acting in this ep. :P It gave me that real sinister feeling. EDIT: And I never really cared about that Koala guy. But Madhouse has given him attitude. Definitely worthy. |
| I wonder if they'll censor this ANIME WATCHERS DON'TCLICK ON SPOILER. |

| Gyro is not/never was Meleoron in either the anime or the manga |
Bigorno said: And most importantly, what the hell ? JAIRO, the king of NGL is seen in the chair at the end of the episode ??? How is he still alive when MELEORON (who has been proven to be his reincarnation) has already been seen ! That my friends, is a major plothole. Before you made the plothole accusation, please fact check with the manga first by re-reading perhaps? Jairo (Gyro) is not Meleoron reincarnated in the manga. Never was, never will be. |
| It's not filler entirely, seems like they slow down the pace a bit though. I kinda forgot about the NGL's leader and the koala, have to re-read the manga again I guess.. |
Claude_KennyMay 13, 2013 3:07 PM
| Keep moving forward |
Bigorno said: I read it several times and re-read it just befoe the Arc started in the Anime. When Meleoron introduces himself to Gon he says "I'm Jair.... err, no, Meleoron" No you're wrong flat and simple I don't know where you're reading whether its scans or whatever but he says Jail in official translations. Hell even the wiki which the people who contribute/manage it don't like to troll people has Meleoron's human name as Jail http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Meleoron |
