| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Some rearranging, skipping, and adding of scenes was an interesting surprise God the ants are even creepier animated and with color, can't wait to see them wreaking havoc Really liking the heavier soundtracks used so far especially with scenes of the Queen  My reaction to Kurt and Reina's demise NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! THEY DIDN'T DESERVE TO HAVE THAT HAPPEN TO THEM Reina just wanted to live in peace with her onii-chan : ( The anime's deliberate pacing right now is doing a good job in building up the threat of the Ants. Should be picking up soon with the Ants gathering food and eventually when Gon/Killua/Kite encounter the larger Ants hehe Oh hai Pokkle and Ponzu! Been a while |

| THE CHIMERA ANTS ARE CREEPY AF. R.I.P Kurt And Reina qq |
| Nice episode - they added a bit more exposition for Kurt and Reina before their unfortunate meeting with a Chimera Ant, which I think worked well. Also, I am glad that they didn't decide to match the quality of the art in this episode with the corresponding chapters. I remember these ones having some particularly ugly pages like the one below: |
| Poor children ;( ... the show is picking up pace now. Looks like next episode is gonna be awesome! |
| After watching this episode, all Chimera Ants must die. |

| Hahaha, I can't wait to see people's reactions to the coming episodes. But yeah, I'm really digging the extra content they're using here; it's giving a bit more of a foundation to the nature of the ants before shit gets crazy. One of the only issues I had at the beginning of the CA arc in the manga, coupled with the suffering art, was that opening conflict was a bit confusing to decipher as to what was going on, until events played out a bit more. I feel the anime's doing a better job of actually introducing the conflict at hand, and why chimera ants are going to start looking distinctly humanoid. |

| I found this a rather boring episode. Hopefully the rest of this arc does not disappoint. Poor Kurt and Reina :( |
| Damn, I can't wait for all of the Chimera Ant arc. Such a great arc. |

| holy crap I'm gonna have nightmares , I liked how they showed who the first victim was, made it like 10x creepier. |
 |
| Does anyone know why they decided to have a special ending this episode? It just seems...very random to me. |
| i love the savagery. i thought it was going to be the mom but making it the children really made it darker. i hope these aren't the only victims in this arc. |

LapK said: After watching this episode, all Chimera Ants must die. Yes, I agree. They must all die! Most cruel episode to date. They build up the sweet, innocent kids' characters just so they can be eaten ;__; The whole time I was like, "Ohh no. The way this is progressing, these kids are definitely going to be eaten." Then when the crab-like ant grabbed them, I was like, "Nooooo! Why would you do that to these poor kids!" Hahaha The story seems like it's gonna get pretty interesting. Looking forward to the coming episodes! |

My dreams of becoming a mangaka are still alive |
| those poor kids, so much sad feels |
| So, the Chimera Queen is carnivorous and must eat in order to give birth to her children. Well, the feeding on humans explains the distinctly humanoid appearances of most of the Chimera Ants. Pretty cool stuff. Wonder who the King will be made from. Feel bad for the kids, but they were raising all kinds of death flags there. And, laugh out fucking loud at the manga art JohnGalt showed. Wow. |

| i think the queen's scenes were the best in this ep. |

| HXH why you do this to me?! ;_; after i found out what Phagogenesis was the OP started to make sense(some of it) to me and i was like *shit* think i might need to start my own death counter soon. |
 |
| Fcking good episode. Yep Queen's scenes was the best in this episode. So Kite nightmare is becoming true. |

| Eating kids? In my morning show!? NOW THAT'S MORE LIKE IT! .... They have to consider moving this anime to an evening slot. paper-dreams said: Stick Dinner is still better than motherf***ing WdwuneTogashi's naming sense forever eludes me. |
| The big brown fox jumps over the lazy dog |
| This is going to be interesing . I feel sorry for Kurt and Reina :( |
| Damn poor kids....great episode! The chimera ant queen creeps me out lol |
parfaited said: and the kids were just talking about their future earlier Yeah, they shouldn't have triggered their death flag so soon. |

Wow i just took a glance at this episode, from the manga and i can't believe how they animated this, the studio created the chimera ants to have a very dark and creepy nature to them. Much more so then how it was shown in the manga, this is just great. Gives the arc an even more darker tone to it. |
  |
| Building up slowly ... me liking it ^^ |
 |
| This is much better! The atmosphere is foreboding, some of those scenes were cringe-worthy, and most importantly, the enemies are incredible! Just like the Yorknew arc, I think this one's going to be amazing. The darker vibe I got while watching this totally sucked me in. Unlike in Greed Island, which was more lighthearted.. I am very excited to see where this goes. Very excited indeed. |
 |
| Wondeful portrayal of the ants so far, they managed to make them look really creepy and dangerous. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Omg, I was so sure that Gon or Killua would have saved the kids in the last second, how sad... |
| Good job, Madhouse. You're creating a great start \o/ Loved the new (?) music.

I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| shit is getting interested madhouse ftw |
| This episode creeped me out. The Ants are just so creepy looking, and it's just disturbing. The kids dying was foreseeable, but still sad. I have a feeling one of the 7 will be killed, and used for the creation of the king. I don't like where this is headed. |
| Madhouse... I love you. |
| Pretty decent chapter to set up a lot of things. The Chimera Ants make their move. It was kind of funny how the story went from being nice and happy go lucky to becomming dark as hell. With the death of Kurt and Reina the Chimera Ants just become stronger. Pokkle and Ponzu are going to show up next week. |
