----------------------------------------
Yeeeeeeeeees, the...Phantom Troupe! Holy shit, I haven't seen them in awhile, at least not so far in this arc.

Phinks looks good imo with that pharaoh style figure on. I also think that Feitan looks pretty badass this episode. I'm glad that Bonolenov FINALLY gets some screen time. I remember during the Yorknew Arc where he didn't even say a word..

Phinks was exactly what I thought he'd be like this episode - badass.
I just love watching the Phantom Troupe to be honest especially since someone went Super Saiyan: http://i.imgur.com/evm5kOV.jpg

I can't get over how this and the next episode got outsourced animation teams... :/
It's as if MadHouse themselves don't even care about the Ryodan.

{EDIT}

Well, never MIND!
That was actually kind of spectacular~

It's been so long since the start of the Chimera Ant art in the manga with all the problems the author has been having that I don't even remember this part. It honestly has me wondering if this even happened in the manga or if somehow the anime got to put in an original part by request of the author or something. I just can't believe I'd forget seeing the Phantom Troupe being this badass when I read the manga, but I guess it's possible since it's been years since the arc started and it has had infrequent updates.

Hell yes, Phantom Troupe is back. Bonolev being such a badass was a surprise, also can't wait for some Feitan ass whooping next episode

Wow, it was outsourced? It looked just as good and maybe even better than normal episodes

Amazing episode. Madhouse did a good job animating the fights especially the way Togashi drew them in the manga lol.

The funny thing is, Zazan's chimera ants and herself didn't make anyone from Phantom Troupe go all out.

Holy shit, don't fuck with the Phantom Troupe. I noticed they are missing a few members, though, besides obviously Chrollo. I wonder where they are?

Episode highlight: A mummy hitting a motherfucker... with a planet.

Phantom Troupe are such great characters, love their laid back attitude (especially Shalnark's, he couldn't give one fuck whatsoever).

This episode was freaking awesome. The Troupe are bloody awesome and all of them showing off their nen was great. I especially liked Phink's punch. It reminded me of Gon's Jajaken punch. Zazan and the rest of her chimera ants are gonna get wasted. Cannot wait for next week. Zazan vs Feitan I am especially looking forward to.

Almost expected Bonolenov to use Hanauta Sancho: Yahazu Giri xD Two Strawhats in the Phantom Troupe, who would have guessed?

Anyway, I found Kalluto's fight way better than in the manga. The Zoldyck's theme made him (her? the ant did call her "Ojou-chan" right?) much more ominous.

lol they made the reporter more beautiful than she was in the manga.

Who thought going Super Saiyan had such side-effects?

What made this episode interesting the fact that thee Phantom Troupe were in it, but other than that it's an average episode, can't say I liked it much.

Almost 4 chapters animated, and 2 chapters left and we go back to the main characters.

Pretty much a fanservice episode (but a good one) between Zazan and the creepy spider-ant and Genei Ryodan. This mini-arc felt kinda missplaced even in the manga, but it's nice seeing those guys again + Killua's little bro.

Just pure fun

Anything involving the Phantom Troupe makes me fanboy all over the place. Heck, they could be animating the members doing a shopping trip, and I'd still be smiling all the freaking time. Phantom Troupe <3

He's a boy ^^ If I remember correctly Killua has only brothers ;)
But they give Kalluto Noto Mamiko as a seiyu, and she has a very girly voice...
