Amazing! ^^

Great arc, I really liked it as it progressed (not so much initially).

I can't wait for next week's episode (have no clue about this 'Chimera-Ants' thing, as I've not read or watched the original).

5/5.

I hope we get to see Bisky again...i hope we see Killua real soon.


mangareader here, CA is a lot worse than yorknew. Yorknew is by far the best arc that was made in hunter x hunter. So it ain't really set in stone, some like it some don't.

Next episode we're gonna have a flashback. It's too bad they didn't show that long haired hunter guy in the first episode instead, but whatever.
Anyway, I'm glad I don't read the manga, from this point on I have no idea what's going to happen next.

Also a manga reader...

Yorknew was good but I much prefer arcs like Hunter Exam, Heavens Arena, Greed Island and Chimera Ant Arc which are much closer to the fantasy adventure genre
that HxH is meant to be. Yorknew is more of a revenge drama. Albeit a good one.

Chimera Ant Arc is my favorite because it contains both the dark grisliness and emotional drama of Yorknew, the shonen fighting spirit and action of Heavens Arena and Greed Island and the mystery and intrigue of the Hunter Exam.

Of course not everyone will like Chimera Ant Arc but it seems like most who
don't also happen to find Yorknew the best. Now, again Yorknew is a good
arc but it's the arc that stands out the most from the rest of the series.

Oh my god, it's here. It been so many years, it feels like ten? It is ten and more?

Really enjoyed the GI arc. Yorknew had better characterisation (and probably everyone's first alluring taste of neo noir) but GI was also highly original with many unexpected surprises. And it's a vital training arc.

I haven't read past this arc in the manga aside from the recent Kurapika backstory chapters. No better time than now, right? :D

Could someone please tell me, how "dark" is the Chimera Ant Ac really? Is it at a similar level to something like Blood+, Gantz or is there more serious gore and violence? I.e. reasonably palatable graphic violence or is it borderline abhorrent? I just don't know what to expect and would rather not be underwhelmed if it's - you know - actually fine as opposed to completely full on, which is the impression I get from some people. Thanks


Chimera Ant arc is about Hopelessness. Imagine 3 years old child vs a LION in a cage. That kind of hopelessness. Hell, one of the top tier hunters of the extermination team had a breakdown despite taunting killua from the beginning (Novu). Now imagine that. But this arc also shows the true spirit of a HUNTER. Group of people who don't back down without giving their all and enjoy challenges (Netero and Morau). Great development for both Killua and Gon. Some scenes are really disturbing like a centaur like creature with 2 humans acting like dogs, A HUMAN PIG BUTCHERING HUMANS (How Ironic :D), child getting killed, etc. I count this as one of the greatest story ever. Ignore the naysayers of this arc.

wow cant believe we made it to this point. Was a pretty damn fair amount of material they had to catch up with, and theyre finally going to have new animated material for the first time in a many amount of years, lol. madhouse has been doing great. Im currently reading CA right now, over halfway through or so, and Im liking it a lot. I think Madhouse is going to do it justice because of some of Togashi's lazier drawings. I am someone who also enjoyed the Yorkshin arc a lot. CA is darker in that aspect, but not in the same way. Im liking it a lot better though than GI. For all the serious aspects, I think Togashi has put in some very good humor as well. I think its one of his creative higher points in the series. I am very excited to see it animated. I wish we didnt have to go through the flashback tomorrow. but itll still be great. all in due time.

also, after reading some of CA, it seems like a Biscuit x Killua's way more likely. Id like that a lot actually. Especially when Gon

AND, to the people waiting for Phantom Troupe, I know there's atleast one good fight with them.

Cards turn into objects again after 1 minute, and I don't think that angel can float around indefinitely till Biscuit finds someone who needs it.


Battera could have used it because he had a patient already.
Oh true. But maybe it wont turn into an object if it is kept in that 3 card case they were given.


Yeah that would work. I don't think she will ever regret her decision. Although there is a time where that would of been extremely useful, however if she did have that then half of the arc after Chimera Ant would be pointless.

@5layer didn't you notice the different 'binder', it was temporary, after all cards are pulled, the binder's gone forever. Keeping it in might not be an option either, it's basically just a way to keep the cards temporarily there till the winners actually claim it.

Sooo, what happens to G.I now? is it like SAO in the sense that once it's cleared, everybody gets returned to the real world, or is it restarted all over again again with a greater difficulty level?

We never know, or we know but I never cared. I would like the game to continue, just ending after one clearing is trolling, more people are inside who want something, so it should be cleared by more than one...kinda like a race...Gon/Kill got 1st place and so on

It wasn't. The OVAs added that scene to make ut feel like it had a proper ending when it really didn't.

As a manga reader I do think it was too bad that the Ch 1 flashback was delayed.
However I am thankful it was only delayed and not outright cut which in the
wrong studio could be a very real possibility.

That Madhouse delayed rather than just cut out the flashback shows that
at the very least their intention is to be faithful to the manga so far as
including virtually all of what is in it.

Pretty much the only other major scene left out (and it was left out
in the 1999 series as well) is from Yorknew and it's called the
"Tramp Incident". It's another flashback (kinda).
It's difficult to say how important it was just yet.
But it certainly had the feel of being important.
However it's quite possible we could see the "Tramp Incident"
sometime later in the anime and hopefully we do.

You know you can read the manga and still not know what's going on.
You just have to not read past Volume 18. However...

Since next episode is dealing with the missing stuff in Volume 1
you may want to postpone reading the manga until after 76
or maybe even 77 if you want to have Volume 18 completed.

Though if you rather just watch the anime that's cool.

I on the other hand don't have that kind of patience.

G.I. is a normal game. Just because they are 'stuck' in the game does not mean after Gon beat it, the game will stop. Now that he beat, other people will continue to continue to do so.

Man, I wish Biscuit would have continued on with them, I didn't really realize how attached I got to her until they parted. And, I also wanted to learn more about her abilities and all. I can't up but feel there is a lot of untapped potential there. Maybe she'll return in future arcs.

Fuck, I'm looking forward to the next episode. I'm going to try and watch every week, but it'll probably be tough to avoid the temptation of the manga. I wonder which side of the fence I'll be on when it comes to Chimera Ant.

the cards they chose to take out was ingenious, and even when they revealed the accompany card i just though "oh! good choice, they can travel anywhere asap" and then was blown away when like, oh yeah, he could just finish his entire lifes quest to find his dad right here
seamless transition into the next arc, and feel good vibes everywhere
