| The first episode of the remake was pretty good. I haven't seen the original so I don't really know how it holds up in comparison. |
 |
| I've seen the first five or so episodes of the original. I forget why I stopped watching it. I believe the site that was streaming it stopped doing so. And since it was licensed, I didn't try to find another source. But I remember thinking that the original was developing rather slowly. So I like this faster pace. |
 |
| An h x h with no filler is the better anime. The art is an improvement and I dont mind the brightness. I really do hope that this version takes off from where the older version left off in the storyline. |
| So far, I'm disappointed. I don't care about comparing this to the first anime anymore. I'm not seeing everything that the manga has to offer in this anime. And that's a lot. Sure, this one follows the manga closer, but hey how many studios do NOT know how to follow a manga. Heck even amateurs can do another faithful adaptation with a bunch of stick figures for characters and a piece of bond paper for the background, but no one would agree that they did a good job on that. This being child-friendly bothers me. I'm not saying they should make everything angsty and dark and all, but it isn't as goofy and as lighthearted as I remember. The characters are kids/teenage boys, yes, but these characters are growing up and not growing backwards, and the story gets a bit complex after the exam. If they keep up this kind of atmosphere forever it's as if making this entire journey a joke. And this one is badly directed. They stretched unnecessary scenes and gave less screentime to important parts. The action scenes were okay. If you're going to compare it to the old anime of course it's superior, but there was a lot of use of still shots and zooming shots, and even repeated frames. Plus the horrible music. It's sad that the budget (and the f*ck they give) for this adaptation is obvious, especially if you know what Madhouse studio is capable of. My hate for this adaptation doesn't really come from how close it is to the source or how better the old anime is. I'm mad because I believe they can do a better job than this. There's more that they can do to make this more than just a remake. Sorry for the long rant. |
| I'm acctually enjoying this adaption. alot of people are comparing this to the old anime when really, it should be compared to the manga. I have only seen a few small bits of the old anime but I really don't think its neccesary I go waste my time with it. I'm already caught up with the manga and I get to choose what I want to revisit things with. I chose the new anime because you know what? THATS THE WHOLE REASON I READ THE MANGA!! Of course I don't think its perfect; there have really only been two things sofar that've pissed me off: episode 6 and 13. episode six wasn't as bad but I was simply mad they didn't put in kurapika's "I'm no better than leorio!?" face, I got over the sushi part. episode 13 was just a retarded idea in general, why, after only 12 episodes are we getting a recap? did a desise happen in japan that caused memory loss and the rest of the world didn't kniow about it? apparently not since one piece still aired alright. I haven't got a chance to hate it cause I was gonna skip it, but I was bored and watched it. it wasn't like they had a bullshit scene it was just because it shouldn't be there in the first place. everything else about the adaption is great! |

| At first i was sad that it was going to be a remake and then i remembered when the old one was made, and i realize it was ten years ago. and why would they want to make everything look like it was ten years ago all series evolve. and i do like the fact that the new series is about ten episodes ahead, yeah there are a couple of recaps but thats fine as long as the series passes the other one, as long as it does that its better than the first one to me. |

why would they want to make everything look like it was ten years ago all series evolve. I don't know what you mean. Aren't the style, character designs, and look more or less locked into place because of the manga? Sure the anime have varied in colors, tone, and brightness but there hasn't been any evolution other than the passage of time that visually distinguishes one from the other. |

| The new version tend to cencor a bit too much. Watched the old anime and I am still reading the manga. But its still worth it, the show is good. And since the manga has gone further I hope this version will go through the ant arc as well. So we will get some new manga chapters converted to anime once we have catched up with old anime. :) But the manga is again on hiatus! I am afraid we might get just get another half-done series since the manga can't keep up with the anime at all. |
Znote said: But the manga is again on hiatus! I am afraid we might get just get another half-done series since the manga can't keep up with the anime at all. The good thing is that the new anime still has a couple years worth of material to go through before it's caught up. |
| fast paced so lots of cuts and way less char dev. you can also feel that they are limiting the violence because the last hxh ova was stopped because of this. of course different voice actors on some characters, thankfully they are just on side char. Atm, I think its okay. I'm still waiting until its over to judge it. And of course its on HD. |

| I love both anime, and was in love with the manga too. Im just hoping we can get more of the story animated than the older version + OVAs. |

| The new anime is very good , I just hope that they could get a new time slot so that they don't have to censor some brutal scenes that are gonna come in the next arcs . |
| I love the old anime mostly because of Yorkshin arc. That arc was downright awesome. The rest was OK. The new anime so far isn't half bad despite some definite kiddie vibes it gives off from time to time. The things I was displeased with are mostly related to what they changed in comparison with the manga. In particular, the Testing Gate opening scene. All three guys were supposed to open it on their own, not all together. And Leorio opened not just the 1st gate but the 2nd, too... I absolutely hated how they robbed Leorio of one of his very few moments of glory. Canary filler and missing part of exam with sushi were disappointing but nowhere near as much as the Testing Gate was. Still, overall, the new anime holds up just fine for the moment. But the real test for it will begin when it finally enters Yorkshin arc (that is, starting July 15). That's when I will make my judgement on it. The anime staff promise that the mood will grow darker, more serious and more mature as the story dictates. Also, the level of violence is promised to go up. I do hope so, because no facepalm will be enough if the mafia and the Genei Ryodan just bloodlessly knock each other out without killing instead of massacring literally thousands... For now, I also have my doubts about some of the voice actors for the Genei Ryodan being fit for the characters they're gonna be playing and am worried about Kuroro's character design, but we'll see in time, I guess... |

| How can they remove scenes when it is not remake of the 1999 anime? |
Nekomimi-Boy said: Also, I am totally NOT looking forward to the Kimera Ants Arc since that was what ruined HxH for me and made me stop reading the Manga... It's amazing how a genius like Togashi-sensei managed to ruin his own Masterpiece with that Arc... It looked just like Elfen Lied! No offences to Elfen Lied Fans, but I can't stand seeing Humans being slaughtered like that as if they were worthless objects... Then you should have hated York Shin and Greed Island too (remember all the people exploding in a really graphical way). Togashi loves gore, it's nothing new. |
Nekomimi-Boy said: I LOVED the Original, is because it has a bit of comedy with charismatic Characters and a thrilling Storyline (even though with its many filler-like-parts). The strong and cute Friendship between Gon and Killua is the biggest reason why I loved the Original, and they removed most of the nice scenes of them in this Remake (with exception of the new filler part during the Trick Tower Test). And I don't know why some people are complaining the Remake is "slow-paced", it's actually too much fast-paced already, since they removed most of the good scenes from the Original. Have you ever thought that the remake expected most people to have seen the original, just like in Full Metal Alchemist brotherhood where they left out some of the stories like with the yorki the guy who bankrupted the citizens of the mining town, and barry the chopper, the serial killer. But had the characters in the story. Hunter x Hunter might be going fast paced and cut out little parts of the story because it is a remake and might slow down the pace when they get out of where the anime ended |

| The 2011 anime has not really been going fast paced. At most it's 2 chapters an episode. |

| A question to Nekomimi-Boy... have you read the Hunter exam, Heavens Arena and York Shin in the manga? To watch the old anime until the end and then start with Chimera Ant arc isn't a good idea. Also, chimera is a real word, and it's spelled with "ch", not with "k". |
| I really wanted to like this... >_> |

| It's just my random ass theory but, I'm guessing they are taking the speedy route to get the the end of the York New part of the anime so they can really take off where the previous version of the anime left off. Once they get pass the point of the previous anime they can start animating more freely. personally I don't see anything wrong with the newer one sure it's not as drawn out but, it feels more intense and, looks much better ( in my opinion ) |
| The remake has been improving a lot for me in these last few episodes. I have high hopes that they would do a good York Shin adaptation except that I have recently found out that the 1999 version was pretty creative with the way it went about certain scenes which is kind of a let down but on the other hand, it would seem that Kurapika's character in the manga for that arc (more lacking of a sense of guilt) is much more preferred for me personally so it's a win-win situation. |

The car chase. In the manga Kurapika is driving the car when he captures Uvogin. But he gets pissed off at Uvogin and is paying more attention to wanting to kill Uvogin then the road. 1999 series had someone else drive. Hopefully Madhouse gets it right. Because by having Kurapika drive and nearly crash the car because he wants to kill Uvogin says quite a bit about Kurapika. Plus it could make for an awesome car chase scene Yeah, agreed. I still prefer the capture scene itself better in the anime but who knows, Madhouse could also get creative with this. The 1999 series did some pretty drastic changes like Dalzollene being absent and Kurapika calling him. There's a lot of other things to discuss in that arc but I would rather wait and also as to not spoil the great scenes for the first time viewers! |
