| damn, i caught up just when it was getting even more interesting. |
     |
| Oh, my babies. ;; bfdfsduyfyudgsfyu HunterxHunter was one of the best animes I watched in my childhood, I wish I had time to watch the old HxH entirely... But I like this one too, Hisoka and Kurapika still are my favorites ones... And daaaaaaamnnn, I love Hisoka's theme song. ❤ |

| i like illumi's voice beter! |
 |
| Tonpa is such a troll it's great. The part with Hisoka and that guy was always one of my favourite scenes from the original anime and I'm glad they didn't change anything. |
 |
| Very good episode. Excited for Gon's encounter with Hisoka. |
| Good stuff, particularly the stuff involving Hisoka and Gon. So fucking intense...Got to love how Killua is prancing around without a care in the world just knowing he could fuck up pretty much anyone. |

| ^_~ |
| My most favorite part of the Hunter Exam! |
 |
| Holy shit Hisoka's presence feels deadly. I got the chills when he found Leorio and Kurapika... |
| funniest moment: holding the monkey hostage wtf moment: creaky fugly-o can change hair and bone structure with an acupuncture pin bromance moment: hisoka/acupuncture being psychotic attractive bffs |
| Haha.. Killua is just walking around with his tag. So confident kid.. |
| This episode was great. even better than in the old version except Illumi's face... :O How ugly |

| who the f is that needle guy??? wonder how they will pull this off. |
 |
| Awesome episode... I fucking love Hisoka... he's awesome and so is the music that plays when he fights. |
| Pretty good episode... but, 15 episodes in and only 1 fight so far. Not that I'm complaining, the show does a great job making things tense without them, very commendable, but this is not what I came to expect! :P Pin guy digging that hibernation hole was fak-king cool. I like that he's cool with Hisoka. |
| Man Tompa just never gives up does he. Always trying to sabotage everyone. But what can his reason be? Surely he doesn't just do it because its fun, does he? Anyways Kurapica puts him his place lol. Leoro and Kurapica team up together. Now gon has to try and use what he learned with the animals, to try and snatch Hisoka's tag. This is when we see Gittarackur true face. That dude is creepy. Killua acting like a boss, showing his tag off. He fears nothing. Meanwhile Hisoka has his sights set on Leoro and Kurapica.\ Well this episode followed the manga pretty much to the key, once again. |

| Haha, yeah I realized soon after posting. I had just gotten up so seeing you posting about the 4th exam again made me think I was having Deja Vu or something. |

| Lol... Tonpa is always up to something. Gon's use of the butterflies was pretty sneaky. He nearly gave himself away, too! I wonder why it is that Hisoka can't sense him. (Or, better yet, why he would fake being unable to sense him if he could.) The pins guy is creepy too. >.>; Of course Hisoka is targeting Kurapika and Leorio. Perfect. .-. Still, I'm looking forward to the next episode. |
| Intense episode. Not a boring minute in it. |
 |
| *Digs a hole and sleeps in it* - Who the fuck does that? I like that guy. |
 |

| Hisoka's target lock-on. |
 |
| Wuuuuut? The dude shapeshifting was so random and kinda creepy. It was pretty neat. Also, poor warrior getting humiliated in his last instant. I guess both Leorio and Kirapika will get their badges stolen by Hisowa. He's doing exactly what I thought was the easiest, tracking three easy target. Well, he could probably hunt his own target, but you have more chance to encounter someone else than your target. Tompa and monkey dude were hilarious. Damnit Leorio, you always get caught in such easy traps xD |

| That guy who looks like the guy from hellraiser is ridiculous LOL. |
| I was in wtf mode when he took out the pins from his head and started to dig a hole. |

Ollyx2OxenFree said: Hmmm...This was a really good episode. Loved the way Kurapica came out of nowhere saying "I agree with the latter but can't agree with the former" and then he kicks Tonpa. I'm thinking there could have been more of an epic choice of BGM for that scene but then again, it still had its good side. I'm also loving Hisoka in this episode and I really forgot that Illumi popped up like that this early in. Damn, looked through a lot of people's ratings on this anime and I see a lot who give it a low rating. I don't get it because this anime, so far, is following the manga well, besides the omission of the sushi content in the earlier episodes. It may have less violence but that is because of Japan's current censorship so that should be understandable. I was just hoping HxH would get a bigger fan base. I don't know about you guys but I usually decide whether something is worth my time based on the rating and if not for me knowing about HxH, i might have avoided seeing all the ratings people give it. A lot of us are former HxH fans so I'm assuming most of the viewers have seen the original. I guess people are still rating this anime in a comparison to the older one which isn't cool because we all know the older one was epic and that this series is a whole other series under the same name. Ratings should be based on the current anime, not really a comparison on this one and the older one. Giving bias to your rating is misleading, even though this might not be a 10/10 or even a 9/10 at the moment. If you're going to hate an anime, do it because it sucks ass, not because of nostalgia or because "oh man, my favorite scene on shipwreck island was taken out!". Showing objectivity makes one look like they know what they're talking about and gives you more credibility. I know it's sometimes impossible not to compare but try to do this anime justice so we can have a bigger fan base and make this more popular. That's the least we can do to spread HxH's popularity. Heck, we might even get people to watch the original one you all love so much after watching some of this one. Sorry for this ridiculous rant, just felt like I should stress my thoughts. This is a discussion after all. agreed. Cratex said: Ollyx2OxenFree said: Damn, looked through a lot of people's ratings on this anime and I see a lot who give it a low rating. Well, I just now looked at the "Stats" page and the most common score is an '8', with 90% of the scores being a '7' or higher. At face value then that tells me that the overwhelming majority of folks rating it here on MAL think it's at least 'good', and a comfortable super-majority considering it at least 'very good'. So, essentially, I just don't see the problem you're referring to. I personally have never seen the 'original', nor have I read the manga (and probably never will), so my own personal score of '7' is based solely on what I've seen here, which for the record means just what it means - I think it's good, but not great. For what it's worth, my son (11) lost interest in the show with the recap episode. I suspect it was the combination of slow pace and not quite clear 'plot', but he didn't give a clear reason. uh,maybe because he's 11 and likes spongebob more? :p not trying to get into your life but if he has an otaku parent anime's pretty much going to be in his life all the time, and so that may turn him off. it's like having a parent who takes you to Universal Orlando's all the time - not that special after a while. shucks, anime was always in my life and i didn't even have otaku parents. they just showed speed racer and battle of the planets and such, but the anime (well, "anime") that REALLY turned me off was thundercats. even if not for that, naruto was everywhere and i had little care for it. pokemon was doing just as well and i found no appeal to it even when i tried looking at it when a marathon of it was going on sometime on CN. avatar was around and (hopefully not anymore) it was considered an anime and i found it boring, although i did like aang a bit and the fights were sugoi :p nope, cartoons were just fine with me. it took quite a while to come to the way i am about anime as of now. besides your son won't appreciate this show at such a young age. when he's older it'll be sure to grab him. by this time he must be what, 14, going on 15? perfect. StormViruz said: Killua showing off his badge LIKE A BOSS!! thank you for noting, hadn't noticed that! :D ---- if someone right now told me to rewatch the series from this on down or my family would be killed, they would 't have any problem. not because of my family of course but because of the show :p really, there has to be something magical about this show that brought my brother to re-watch it in just months after the show ended. it just clicks. this episode is a fantastic example of what i mean. one of the things i love about hisoka is that he isn't so much of a proud person, but expects excellence in those he admires. nothing stops him from admiring the transformation of the needle guy and he doesn't try to hide it. who cares if gon is 12? hisoka also admires him as well. he loves and respects the beauty of fight as much as talent and things unbelievable (such as the needle guy), and when he sees mediocrity he's disgusted. in these terms, he's basically a relatable and relatively normal person. oh and shoutout: tonpa deserved that epic rek, pika! >:D |

| Damn that guy is creepy. How can gon get hisoka's id, it's impossible. |
 |
| Nice to see Gon free the twitter bird. How the hell did Gon tie a string to the butterfly? Fucking Tonpa. I hope no one feeds him. Wow. That face change. |

| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Good luck gon, but i don't you will be able to snatch Joker's tag. |
Shadow-Chan said: Illumi doesn't sound or look feminine, I don't approve. Same Even though I wasn't looking forward to watching this arc, the episode was really good. I love Hisoka's theme |

| Alright! Cant wait to see more of Hisoka |

| Creepy dude's real face is equally creepy as his fake one. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Take that, Tonpa. Tonpa and needle guy are definitely on top of my dislike list. |
| LOL @ Illumi digging his hole to sleep xD hilarious :P |
| Tonpa deserved those beatings! Now it's time for Gon to face Hisoka... |
  |
| the needle guy reveal complete took me off guard… hisoka …. |
 |
| The hunt began, pretty nice progression! Let's see what's next! |
 |
| Pincushion Man is actually a pretty-faced gopher guy? Mind. Blown. I'm calling the blood-sucking butterflies, "blooderflies" and nobody can stop me. |

| That freaky pinhead turning out to be Hisoka's insider wasn't that big of a surprise but the revelation that he's actually someone in disguise on the other hand... Gon's having trouble finding the perfect opportunity while Hisoka's set his sights on Kurapika and Leorio. Shit! |
 |
| This is about to get intense, the mannequin looking dude transformed out of the blue, he seems like an important character. It's going to be crazy with Hisoka vs. Kurapika and probably even Leorio, whilst Gon also joins in the conflict. It's like payback for when he beat them up in phase two. |
| Haha well deserved for Tonpa, he's so annoying! Now I really wonder what will Gon do against Hisoka, and the needles man seems really creepy tbh |
 |
| I did not remember that he shows his real face that early, not like it matters much to me. Both faces are weird imo. |
| Leorio needs to stop getting triggered all the time... |
