ankifeather said: snip To be fair, yes you are right. The 1999 anime did not have the luxury of 340 chapters to go off on, but, those changes you mentioned in 2011 are minor. It's not like killua never lies. A recent example is episode 32 when Killua lies about the Hisoka fight. Hisoka in that same arc killed many unprovoked. This is not like Killua being portrayed as a moody, distance, emotional burden child at first (Canary flashback). Or Gon being a lot more polite. Also |
So what about those scenes that doesn't completely match the manga? Are we suppose to think these characters suddenly got swapped with someone else, had amnesia, hit their head really hard, whatever excuse you can think up, and the reason why they suddenly change personalities? Or you could simply not make a big deal about a difference just because it's not in the manga. Still as you said that people could think Gon is against killing if they go by some scene in the original, such a thought would quickly be corrected in other scenes that are more close to the manga as those scenes are abundant in the series. A person who thinks Gon is against killing can only still have that characterization if they didn't finish the anime and since your arguing about 1999 anime fans it's not likely that they didn't finish the series. This is the same for any characterization you think is wrong. All a person would have to do to accept the proper characterization is realize that what the character is doing now is how the character is. That's what we call bad retcons. In short, the 1999 animators did a bad job adapting the material that they have to resort to "self-correcting" in the later parts for the mishaps they did on previous episodes. Good to know. You don't know what a retcon if you're using it this way. An anime is going to deviate from it's source at some point in time be it filler or censorship. When the anime gets back to being inline with the manga it is not retconing away anything it did prior. The only thing good to know is incessantly you need to exaggerate and misuse words just to make the problems you have sound worse than they really are. Incorrect. We love Hunter x Hunter, even if the anime was flawed (beggars can't be choosers), we still watched it until the end (even the OVAs) and recommend it to anime-only viewers in order to get many fans. In our minds, the 1999 series is different and left it at that. Incorrect what? You're not even commenting on what you quoted. If any of the anime-only parts led a viewer to an incorrect characterization then watching the entirety of the series would give them the correct characterization as there was more inline with the manga then out of line. Proof? In terms of anime adaptations HxH(1999) was generally held to be one of the most accurate shounen anime around. You don't get called accurate if all you do is deviate from the source. You're foaming on the mouth, I see. And you're running out of gas, I see. Kidding aside, I don't see the difference you speak of. The "big name shounen anime" you mentioned didn't changed their characters' core personalities. If you want to see how an anime do justice to the characters despite deviating from the manga plot, watch the Fruits Basket anime then read the manga. I do believe this part of the quote came from your comment about how the directer needed or had the balls to dare change Togashi's work and I called your attention to big name shounen work to show you it doesn't take balls to dare change Togashi's work. TV adaptations do it all the time, you blind sycophant. You were itching to throw back the "reading comprehension fail" at me, don't you? It was calculated and you, my dear, didn't disappoint. Too bad your comments above just showed how you fail at it more. Actually I was holding it back as the majority of your replies reeks of your failed comprehension. Showing is much more effective than tellling, no? Not if you're the 1999 series then you'd get accused of showing too much by hypocrites. Beating around the bush is sad. Look, changing how a person is characterized is a problem. It doesn't matter if Togashi hasn't presented Gon's mom yet. When people watch the 1999 anime and not read the manga they are going to have the impression that Gon was raised by his dead mom's sister. Which in fact she isn't dead in the manga nor related to Mito. It's a problem plain and simple. At this point it feels like a claim some people are making up and exaggerating. What the kind of different characterization happens because of the change in relation? Holy hell you people are stretching so far I'm surprised you haven't pulled a muscle. Sorry but you can't say it's a fact she isn't dead if you don't know and guess what, you don't know. What's plain and simple is folks like you need to open up damn dictionary and stop incorrectly using words just because they make your statements sound big and scary. |

eucalyptustree16 said: noonealive said: It does not matter if she appears or not. Gon was dropped off to Mito by his Dad(Mito and Ging are related). Gon's real mom is not comfirmed dead. The 1999 plays it off as Gon was born and raised on whale island by his Aunt Mito with a dead mom's burial site. This deviates from the manga completely. How is changing ones back story (especially the main character) not "create" problems down the road? I watched 99 version before reading the manga and was not bothered by the changes. So apparently they´re not that bad. So no, that´s not a problem. In fact, I´d rather have some minor changes, than the shit I had to get through with this version in the beginning. That lame soundtrack, bright colours and childish feeling. I will choose the first half of the Hunter exam of the 99 version anytime over this version. But the Zoldyck and Heavens arena arc go to this one. Opinions are irrelevant, the question is did it or did it not create plotholes? And the fact Is: it did wether people like it or not. |

coldwave said: Mikasa said: This arc shits on the 1999 version guys. IMHO...the H stands for holy. This ac isn't even that good to begin with, not even in manga. So no big deal. This arc introduced nen, that alone makes it a masterpiece. |

eucalyptustree16 said: Mikasa said: Opinions are irrelevant, the question is did it or did it not create plotholes? And the fact Is: it did wether people like it or not. You can go on about the "technical flaws" but if it doesn't cut the enjoyment of the individual (who is of course ignorant of those things, because a mangareader will bitch about it for sure wether it's an unpleasant change or not) I don't think it's that much of a big deal. Because that's what anime is about: enjoyment. But I'm just giving my 2 cents here since I don't like it how every pro 99 comment gets attacked like predators surrounding its prey. And I'm sure I will get a half assed, sarcastic and short reply for this. But I'll leave it at this. That is hilarios because those pro comments come from butthurt people who started the half assed sarcastic comments against the 2011 version in the first place and now they are whining about the smallest things but when it comes to the huge flaws in the previous one, "oh no you gotta respect my opinion and let me troll all i want" That is how most of them sound I call bullshit Again, the entertainment is irrelevant, although it is still affected by the fuck ups the old version did since the story part is what entertains many people the most |

| Well I admit that this series goes by kind of slow for me. However, this episode is one that we've all been waiting for since the fight on the island. It was really exciting and fast and all that. I'm also glad that they are done learning Nen, as I was finally starting to get bored of watching that stuff, even though it was necessary for the series. Yeah, the fight was awesome, as a lot of previous fights, it was predictable who was going to win. But now Gon is giving is 100%, so that's nice. |
 |
| You know what's hilarious. Completely myopic fans that ignore any and all attacks against the 1999 series in these types of threads just because they either share or don't mind. "Opinions are irrelevant, the question is did it or did it not create plotholes?" In the example of Gon's mother. No plothole was created. Gon's mother's state is unknown and if we assume that state is either alive or dead only one of those states would result in a plot hole. Since the fans do not know the state what has happened is a potential plot hole. That's what the facts say. sorry if you don't like how the logic really works. Again, the entertainment is irrelevant You sir, are worth the price of entry. |

I loved the 99 series though I admit half of the series does not hold up well imo of course. Still a good series in it's own rite. My problem is that some continue to not understand that it has nothing to do with changing what Togashi did. Who cares how many fillers there are. But if those filler present changes the feeling or has characters acting differently, then continue to act like they do in the manga is inconsistent. Showing Gon huddled under a tree screaming and crying is a different take on Gon as a character. It's inconsistent on how he acts after especially Greed Island. You can say on they were expanding or whatever but all that at the beginning of the episode did not lead to Gon looking angry. He was still screaming. Again a different take. You can't deny that is not the same as the manga/2011. But I am done addressing Name since he fails to understand anything anyone says and can't admit he is wrong. |
Showing Gon huddled under a tree screaming and crying is a different take on Gon as a character. It's inconsistent on how he acts after especially Greed Island. Hmm crying in one place means he has to cry in another? Him not crying on GI just because he was shown to have cried before isn't an inconsistency as that crying scene did not make it seem like Gon cries on a frequent basis. This is just another example of how people like you need to exaggerate differences to make them sound worse than they are. Who cares how many fillers there are. But if those filler present changes the feeling or has characters acting differently, then continue to act like they do in the manga is inconsistent. I'm sure someone like you can look at any anime filler and point out discrepancies to how the characters act in the manga. Of course you don't because that would prove such discrepancies are normal for adaptations and aren't as significant as you pretending them to be in HxH. You can't deny that is not the same as the manga/2011. But I am done addressing Name since he fails to understand anything anyone says and can't admit he is wrong. Not only do you need to learn what inconsistency means but you need to learn that you are no longer addressing a person that mentioning them either by name or implication is still addressing them. |

| I don't care if the problem is minor or big. I don't care if i didn't bother anyone. Deviating from the manga or making changes isn't good for a series that may be long term.

| Oh my, this is the same shit that happened with Fullmetal Alchemist. The base has been broken, and this time, it's not like the adaptations are even that far apart, so I don't really get what the whole thing is about. They're both nice but not quite perfect, the manga isn't exactly flawless either (you won't believe how much it hurts me to admit this), so I just wish everyone would get over it. It's an episode discussion, for fuck's sake. As for this episode... I found it amazing, except that the thirteen-year-old daughter of my parents' guests was sitting right behind me when I watched the glowing crotch scene and I had to bluff through some very awkward questions. |

| How often has a shounen ever left you speechless after an episode? Gon actually landed a punch to the face...Oh, why isn't the next episode streaming until the end of the month? I don't think I can last after that one. Best episode yet by far...best shounen yet by far. e_o I thought Hisoka just had crazy bloodlust. Eek, whatta creep. |

You can't prove 1999 anime right..plain and simple. The issue is I'm not trying to prove it right.

" show why it's a good thing anime is made by people that aren't as blindly idealistic as you. |

| Hisoka's shining crotch will scar me forever. In a good way. No homo. |

| YESS!! THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!<3 I was like cringing the whole fight in anticipation.. This is amaaazing. :D I absolutely adoooore Gon.. :) but Hisoka was so creepy =_= why is he turned on by little boys lol PEDOBEAR I know Gon's gonna lose. I haven't read the manga, but I just feel like he is.. He's not ready yet to defeat Hisoka. BUT THIS IS STILL THE SHIT. ^-^ On to the next episode~! *O* But to be honest, Hisoka, in all his pervertedness, is still extremely sexy. Yes yes, I know I am weird >.< |
| haha! i lve how thy put the nude of hisoka in it again!!!! I hoppe they put the GI one in too! |
 |
| That boner was definitely the highlight of this episode HAHAHAHA. |
| Ahahaahha, he got a boner? Wtf? XD Rape face wasn't enough to express his satisfaction I guess! |
| Wow! Kind of late to that whole debate and i have to say is not so good discussing manga stuff here but anyway all i have to say is that noonealive and whoever the other guy was, you guys needs to check your logic circuits because they are obviously flawed. The guy says that a woman not appearing in the manga being presented already dead is not a disparity and it absolutely right. It's a very simple thing. If she never appears as alive then the anime was just fine. Quite clear and simple. I can't believe the guy even had the patience to debate with such people like yourselfs that can't even accept common logic. |

If the 1999 anime said that Gon's mom is dead (I don't remember if it did or not) then that IS a great difference than the manga where we don't know if she is dead or not. There is a HUGE difference between 1. Knowing someone is dead and 2. Not knowing if someone is dead. With 1 there is 0% chance that someone is alive with 2 there is 50% chance that someone is alive. Why 50%? Because either they ARE alive or they are DEAD. 50/50. 50% chance of being alive or 0%. Sounds like a rather big difference to me. It doesn't matter if she appears in the manga or not. She was mentioned and she was NOT mentioned as dead. At best we can say Gon THINKS she is dead. Though Gon isn't a reliable source. Not even Mito knows what happened to Gon's mom. I dunno if she will appear in the manga or not. But let's say she never does. That STILL doesn't mean she is dead UNLESS it is specifically stated as so or there is a situation in which it would make more sense to think she is dead. For instance of Ging says "Your mom's house was nuked. There were no survivors." Then it makes more sense to think she's dead. But since we have nothing like that we basically have no clue as to her status. Are you an idiot? Big difference my ass. No if she's never mentioned being alive in the manga and continues to be ignored then NO it plays no fucking difference whatsoever. Since the basic story doesn't really change at all then the only big difference is in your obsessed silly minds that think manga's are like the holy book of the universe and every panel and word should be exactly the same. Even if she's alive it doesn't matter if she plays no role whatsoever in the development of the story. THAT''S HOW STORIES WORK!!! Get it already! |

| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |
| I was pointing out a problem from the 1999 anime that was obvious... to someone that was saying that there was no problems. The simple fact is is that the 1999 has her dead which is a big misconception to a characters development. Anyways there was other people on here that seemed to prove me right. They thought Mito was related to Gon's dead Mom. =[] |
