edl01 said: You know I'm getting real mixed messages from people here. I see a bunch of people saying "the arc starts out really slow and boring but ends up being amazing" and then right underneath it someone else says "OH MY GOD THEY LEFT OUT A SCENE FROM THE MANGA!!! ADAPTATION RUINED FOREVER!!!". But if people think it started out too slow, wouldn't that make is a good thing that they are skipping over some less relevant manga chapters? Also can I just ask, why are so many of the ants...well not ants in the slighest? I mean look at some of the chimera in the opening, one of them is a bloody cat girl! How on earth is that an ant? You know if someone messed up the meaning of Chimera then I would sort of understand but how on earth do you not know what an ant is? Sorry, I'm in a really nitpicky mood right now. All will be explained eventually :D |
| Surprised it wasn't anywhere as gruesome as compared to when Uvo bite that guys face off. |
| Poor Kurt and Reina T___T The most disturbing scene. The Chimera Queen needs humans/Animals/Ect in order for her to reproduce. Minions and eventually the "King" So "Kurt" is now a Chimera Ant. I wonder if that cat looking Chimera Ant is "Reina" |

Sorry, I'm in a really nitpicky mood right now. Can't you infer from this last episode how that is? Anyways, I don't know what your expecting from the beginning of an arc, which needs proper buildup in exposition and atmosphere (which was appropriately foreboding). I found it pleasantly entertaining, and it gave a hell of a lot of needed info for what's going on, so I found the episode to be far from irrelevant. On the contrary, I think delving into the nature of the chimera ants is extremely relevant. |

Sorry, I'm in a really nitpicky mood right now. Er....wasn't that explained in this very episode? The queen eats stuff and that effects the appearance of her spawn. I was thinking the same thing before this episode, but the explanation definitely made enough sense to me. |

| The name "Chimera" Ant should be enough of an explanation. And how can people say there is nothing happening and compare it to the One Piece anime's pacing? In this episode alone we set up Gon and Killua objective for the arc while cementing Kite in the story. Detailed explanation on the Ants and how they operate. It was a very eventful episode. |

A lot actually did happen in this episode and I found it quite entertaining. I think some people are just referring to the lack of "action" in the episode. |

| How are those camping tigers even holding those sticks, lol? It almost looks like they have sticks growing out of their heads... That being said, it was an enjoyable episode with some nice anime original add-ons, albeit a bit on the slow side. |

mrsticky005 said: Bigbuffoon said: HurricaneSweet said: No. Just no. The left panel is his usual drawing... so no.Wow his real art is very good ] No it's not. Togashi's art style is usually more like the right side. The left side is Togashi on a bad day (or year). In all likelihood he was probably ill when he drew the pages but was trying to meet his deadline. Togashi obviously has the ability to draw well and to do so on a consistent basis so to say his bad drawings are his usual drawings is a bit dishonest. It be like if Shaq got injured and had a bad season and people said that's how Shaq usually plays. Togashi has deadlines? Hahaha! What a nice joke. Also no his usual has become the shitty one now. He draws like that for years now. Although is not like he made much chapters for years ether so. "Togashi obviously has the ability to draw well and to do so on a consistent basis" -_- No, he doesn't. There is no consistent basis what so ever. |
Marow said: Good job, Madhouse. You're creating a great start o/ Loved the new (?) music. JohnGalt89 said: 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: That's fixed in the released volumes, you know. Here's an example from a chapter covered in this episode:  oh wow thats nice to see! Ive been meaning on seeing some of the volume-updated artwork, as apparently the site I read my manga from doesnt update the HxH with the fixed volume versions of some of the shitty artwork chapters. Anyways, I personally didnt like some of the changes they did with this episode. I hope MH dont continue on this path of many minor changes. theyve done well up til now.. For example: when Kurt repsonded to his sister about marrying him, in the manga he said " Silly Im your brother, I cant marry you. But I'll protect you until you find a boy worthy enough to protect you as good/better than I do now" wasnt expecting madhouse to add an incestious element. ..I actually notice some dont enjoy madhouse's changes either. glad Im not the only one. they were very faithful up til CA too. Either ways, Im excited to see this arc blossom. Idk how the first generation ants have human characteristics before a human was eaten though. the coloration on the ants looks good so far though. |

There is no consistent basis what so ever. why do you even bother watching anime or reading manga when all it does is upset you? have you ever written multiple successful manga's? YYH didnt suffer near the extent this did, so Id say that was pretty consistent. Also pretty sure artwork was his good/normal artwork up until near the end of Greed Island, which is longer than some series entirety so Id have to classify that as pretty consistent as well. Dont mean to jump into this argument, but I just know dont understand why you do tihngs that make you so upset and complain all over the forum. |

| Yeah, who really cares about a few rushed pages of art. And they're not terrible for what they are, rough drafts. I'd rather rough draft release then no release during a long hiatus period. Liked this episode. It seems slow because we know what's going to happen and it's not getting there quick enough XD Just take each week as it comes... Personally, most looking forward to |
| Manga readers, stop posting spoiler. Seriously. |

| Well surely the "eating" part feel a bit more tense than manga because of animation and sound. The explanation is loud and clear.. Not bad for now.. |
| Keep moving forward |
