Number of works of fiction that made me shed at least one tear: 3Thou seeketh soul power, dost thou not?TOX: 33524385841A92B08787EEBEBA2DB51ED293C4F15A2E292F3F C92165E82388281433A77EA8FE
Well i feel stupid for skipping this, i never realized the original had so much filler.
I'm still buttmad they changed Hisoka's VA and i'm not a fan of Kurapika's girlish voice, but i can deal. Pretty great production values.
Not ALL of what's been cut from the original series has been filler though. For example, the sushi round of the food exam was in the manga, but missing from this series.Originally Posted by Archangel
Wow, can't believe i've been missing out on a remake of this. Downside of never visiting General Anime anymore. Best news since i heard about the Berserk remake. I'm more excited about this remake then i was about FMA:B.
Well the sushi round was basically useless. Only thing it was good for was to display how Hanzo is bad at keeping secrets and his cool. And a part of that got baked in to the pig roast part instead. Also in the original Bansho got suplexed by the wrestler which i didn't like at all. He's a Hunter. Non of these wannabes should even get close to touching him except Killua, Hanzo, Hisoka and anyone else who is on a similar level. So i was happy that the wrestler got bitch slapped all over the courtyard. Good change IMO.
Like most said, changing Hisoka's swamp scene sucked. But changing the first examiners movements however was a success IMO. Never liked that "take half meter steps very slowly and still outrun everyone" style. This was both a little humorous and it showed how superior he was to the others. I also liked that they cut away Leorio failing and getting trapped by Tompa. In the old series i never felt like Leorio should have made it as far as he did. This way he doesn't come of as a complete loser that should have failed the first exam. I did not approve of changing Neteros looks either. I was surprised that they cut out Anita. Was that a filler? If so that was a good filler. Was a little sad they cut it out. I didn't start reading the manga until Greed Island so i only have the first anime to refer to.
As for the VA's. Nothing was bad so far except one. Hisoka. Damn it makes me cry just hearing him. Leorio was actually good from the start, and Gon, Killua and Kurapica just needed some time. When i was done with episode 8 i didn't even think about it anymore. Can still sound a little off but nothing that makes me clinch my teeth.
BTW is there anyone in here that hasn't seen the original series or read the manga? Saw that some people was afraid they would spoil. Not that i plan on spoiling but it seems unnecessary if everyone has seen or read HxH before to keep up the charade.
I watched the the original until the part of the story covered in the next episode. I'm glad they are not wasting their time. I got bored and eye cancer from the original and gave up at this point, but I am enjoying this trimmed, pretty version a lot more.
Peace.
The original series looks like fine art compared to the manga.
Quoting for motherfucking truth
And the original had fine animation, ya'll are spoiled bitches.
Episode 09 aired!

I love it how Franky's VA is being typecasted for weirdos.
Yeah, but those Rar/Zip-files seem to be broken
What Rar/Zip files?

Why were the bridges extended if the previous match is not yet over? Well, probably to waste time if it's in the prison's best interest to make candidates lose.
So spoilers from the previous series are fair game?
I didn't watch this arc of the original anime.
Was a little surprised at the candle game and actually accelerating the burn, as for those prisoners the longer it takes for a match to be decided, the better. A smarter move would have been hard to extinguish candles that burn really slowly and no wind zone.
Candle swap was obvious from the very moment he proposed the game.
The blue guy's part was utterly boring/crappy.
Very bad ep I guess.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
What spoilers? The agreed rules were to die or surrender. The blue dude did neither. There's also the score meter that still shows one point for both groups, not two points for the candidates.
Open your eyes when you watch an ep, Watson.
torrent to the episode while nyaa is down.

Y'all need to learn how to use irc bots.
I use DDL, I personally like it best after having used irc and torrents for years.
Edit: Here's the link I use
