Lmao @ the little strip on Page 2.

Anyways, I don't remember much from this part of the series so when he bit off his face and ate it, it shocked me. I know it doesn't have a load of blood but is this still PG-13 with all this?


If you think this is shocking, this stuff is NOTHING compared to the Chimera Ants Arc in the long term. I would classify that arc as Seinen not shonen for its themes and gore

Yoshihiro Togashi is a horror junkie and it definitely shows

I enjoy the animation, but dislike a few certain parts:

1. terrible music for intense moments.

2. displaying names of the attacks

3. not enough blood! (lol jk, its understandable).

Although I understand what you feel, bear with it. Togashi did it in the manga to make HxH more shounen-like.

Be happy that they don't shout out the technique names.

But couldn't they just cover it in the Huncyclopedia section if they really wanted the viewers to know what each attack's name was? (cuz imo they're really not all that necessary unless the characters themselves mention it in conversation, at which point the viewers should be able to tell which attack they're talking about...)

Not bad, only thing I disliked was how they made Kurapika cover his ears for the scream when it was actually pretty badass that he was the only one to not do so in the manga. Great episode though! that's quite the end and surprise for the new viewers :P all I'm gonna say is, don't judge yet!

How can this only have 94% loved ratio? That fight had specialized tactics vs brute strength really well done, and that was so well reversed when Uvo turned out to be insanely strong enough to beat them with his head alone :p The track when Porcupine skewered Uvo's hand with his hair had such unfitting track it was almost fitting :D The track that played when he murdered the rest of them, I guess it actually could have worked out okay since it wasn't only a display of strength but at the same time it was a moment of despair for those faced against it. But then again, that only works if you expected Shadow Beasts to stand a chance, which I doubt anyone did :p

Uvo still has to breath in deep to scream. Talking doesn't involve breathing in deep.

PLOT NEN....
It' probably to most explained powers of all shounen.

Good episode, but it's so predictable. The top 10 Nen users from the 10 dons (Shadow Beasts), and how three of them all died with surprise and so easily. Then, Kurapika's chains hurt the Phantom Troupe member so much. However, things are moving along at a good pace. 3/5

Kurapika is strong against the Spiders because he made a Nen oath with himself to only use his powers against the Spiders otherwise he'll die! He says so himself :p

but isn't there something wrong in this episode? Why is that Worm from Shadow Beast still alive after Big Bang Impact? He can even call for another member. Well, just a little detail but it still bugging me..

Worm was also alive in the manga. If you look closely at the corresponding panel, you can actually see that he's calling someone.

Haha, terrific episode.

Is it just me or does the soundtrack just sound too death note-y. I know this is Mad House with Hirano's amazing conducting skills, but all I see when I hear it is Kira laughing like a maniac. Probably shouldn't let it bother me.

In any case, to be honest they handled this part of the series a whole lot better than 1999 version (which I enjoyed very much). Anyone interested in going back and watching that episode just for comparison's sake, it's episode 53. Like I was saying, everything was a lot more epic than the original series. In my opinion, the direction is way better. Just seeing Uvo chew that guys head off in a split second, that's what catches you off guard and you're like "OMFG!!" It was slower and not as impressive in the original and it gave it a kind of dull impression, but it depends on a director's perception.

And the voice acting. Don't know if anyone noticed Blackbeard from One Piece as Uvogin. Or fucking Miyano Mamoru (Yagami Light) as Chrollo. Epic win on both parts.

Anyways. Loving this arc right now, which is awesome because I know the next arc is going to be fucking Masterly!!

I think the voice acting is the best part in the new series. Ootsuka Akio (Rider, BlackBeard) is doing a really great job, only his voice-acting is making his parts way better than the old version. I watched the part where the Ryodan were introduced in the old version and compared it with the new version, the difference is really huge. It's episode 51, 8:40.
