EPIC episode as always. Can't wait to see more of the fight.

I can't wait till we get past GI (which we better) so you guys can stop comparing both anime in like every episode thread.

It baffles me that I didn't remember anything about this fight, because it's all sorts of awesome~~

That was really cool with the battle still going on. Things are getting even more intense as the troupe enters the building. The fight near the end of the episode was amazing, brought back memories of the Hunter exam.

Epic!

This is the best shounen arc to date in my opinion, and this fight is one of its finest moments!

And I liked this new version of this fight lol

I might be a Die hard 99' HxH version fan, but these last couple of weeks MH has really stepped up the quality of the series. It's no longer childish nor happy so I'm pretty satisfied with the way the new adaptation is going.

About this particular episode however... I felt they were lazy in many regards.
The bright hall where the fight develops seems unfiting, The pacing was kinda off... And by far my most obvious complain has to be the colorless Nen... That air escaping sound effect they use, for nen, really drives me insane =/

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNH4zodURxc&feature=related

What new fans don't get... It's not that we hate MH version, but the fact you feel kind of dumb while you watch it. They spoon feed you with special attack kanji presentations (that felt corny even in the manga)

For me what matters is the overall enjoyment factor... And 99' footstep, jump, nen sound effects really gave it own personality to the series, and cranked up that enjoyment factor in the process. They are those little things some of Us miss, but this (adaptation) isn't be any means a bad one to watch.

Hope we get color nens when hatsus get developed tho' :D

As a Hunter x Hunter fan who is tired of the constant arguments between the 1999 fan base and the 2011 fan base, I just want to say that I love how you voiced your opinion about this episode. I wish more fans could be this reasonable and open-minded, myself included.

Hatsus were given color in the new version. Uvo has red, Kurapika has yellow (green for the cross), and obviously Zeno and Silva have violet. The colorless ones in the new version are Ten and Ren. Old version has colors for Ten and Ren if I remember it correctly.

And yeah, technique naming might be corny, but it's better than not knowing the names at all, or worse, having them scream the technique names like how most other shounen anime do. I like the stylish kanji, after all :)

We fucking get it already, you guys love your nostalgia. At this point it seems like you guys are LOOKING for something to nitpick about.

It's been 52 episodes already, if Madhouse hasn't met your demands/requests/ideas then it's time to let 'em go. Complaining every damn week is stupid.

I have no problem with opinions, I have a problem with repetition.

-Complaining about the animation in a particular episode = no problem
-Comparing 99 vs 11 every week = problem

We get it that they prefer the 99 version. No need to remind us every week.

If they really feel like comparing, they should compare arcs or major fights. Not every damn episode.

Only three things to say
If they start showing more blood it will be like hellsing .
Some times i wonder if the age rating of 13 is right and why not 17.
I guess this 2011 version will overtake the 1999 version in ratings on MAL.

There is no problem with comparing, and people here praise the 11 version when it does a great job, they aren't really stubborn. Without any comparing, this forum wouldn't even get a quarter of the attention it usually has, it's like the sao forums where everyone is talking about the light novel. Not to mention that if it wasn't for comparing, people will forget about the old version

Kurapika being forced to babysit neon when he was in front the door, and him actually obeying the order didn't make any sense. I know that he isn't Sasuke but still it doesn't fit his personality. Especially when you keep in mind the scene where
Don't remember what happened in the 1999 version but it was more logical than that

Also Zeno and that laugh, that was weird and out of place, I know they wanted him to seem more sadist and badass but they completly ruined his character. He is supposed to be a veteran, cold assassin who only cares about the money, the first line he said in the previous episode is a proof of that and

^ You do realize that he didn't know Chrollo was inside the room? And his job is to protect her, and they already established the rule where if they called he'd come back asap.

And enjoying killing someone is different from enjoying combat. Big difference.

I thought it was pretty awesome. I think the worst thing about my experience with '2011 is coming to these forums and seeing people complain and compare to the '99 series every damn time. Like another poster said, I don't mind people complaining about what they feel is flaws in the series but, man, every time I come here it's "one or the other did this better".

Even though Zeno is a veteran, he enjoys killing people. So that laugh makes sense to me.

Wow, this episode is quite amazing.
The fight was totally psychological and mind blowing knowing the opponent's move. That's quite awesome.
Everything is crazy. Kurapika is now getting mad, and in the preview holy shit things are going down again with his eyes.
Also, holy crap Illum is back crazy! O:
