You don't need extensive flashbacks to accomplish that though... One Piece's ones, though nice to add to the world, it really hurts the pace of the series, and often drag. I doubt we'll see any of the sort with Hunter X Hunter.Quote:

New information flashbacks are awesome. Repeating flashbacks, not so much.
Next up: GREED ISLAND!
Finally!
And lol @ 1.) throwing Sharlnak´s phone with full power, 2.) Hisoka being dumbfounded.
That was a good scene. He rarely gets surprised like that and show it so visibly on his face.Quote:

Though I was wondering: Wouldn´t Kurapika´s chain judgement activate as soon as Pakunoda showed the intent of "talking"? Like, even before she pulled the trigger, she had decided to tell them all.Quote:

Greed Island, here we come. Probably my favorite arc.
And I agree with the sentiments above about how Pakunoda was handled, as well as Hisoka.
No Hisoka pelvic thrust...? :(

I think that, of the arcs that were already adapted to Anime, this arc is actually my favorite.Quote:

Definitely missing the hipthrust nohomo. :(
This arc was definitely my favorite in all of shounen anime. Dark and brutal, and devoid of bullshit.
My body is ready for GUREEDU IRANDO.
As unpopular as this opinion probably is, my favorite arc is actually the one following Greed Island, I wonder if they will actually animate it.
I also thought that arc was very good. I think the constantly disruption/break during the arc hurts it more than anything else.Quote:

It becomes very graphic, and will require a lot of censorship if its going to be aired for a childrens' broadcast time.
I'll end it at that though in light of Munsu's post.
If the new anime stops after Greed Island, I hope the whole production staff dies of super aids :/
If it does stop, I hope they seriously have plans for OVAs, or as mentioned, maybe a different broadcast time.
That said, the arc that recently finished had its fair share of graphic violence, so don't know if that would be much of an issue.
