I'm really liking this show so far, i haven't watched the original though so i can't make any comparisons.. which might be a good thing since i can just enjoy it without knowing the story or any potential changes they might have made from the original series :P
I did google Menchi to see if i spelled her name correctly, and apparently her hair was changed from pink to green lol

Did they skip on the whole sushi-making? Well, not a change I want to complain about.
But could it be that they´re completely skipping one exam round? With only 42 contestants left, they have to go straight forward to the "island", eh?
Looks like Aya Hirano is still landing new roles, despite all the scandals.
I don't remember the minor details of the old show so well, and not having read the manga don't know how much added material it had, but I'm sure this will have all the important (and thus better) parts of the exam.
Looks like it.
Too bad, that was one of Hanzo's shine moments.
This really is super fast.
I admitt I liked that part a lot in the original show. Only because I like the idea of Gourmet Hunter.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
I was pretty sure in the old anime they had the whole egg boiling process too and not just them eating it right after they get the eggs.
Yup they did, but that phase was at least 3 eps. So quite a lot has been trimmed.Originally Posted by animus

I'm slightly concerned just how fast they intend to go when the scene at the very end of the opening is actually WAY into the old series.
It's relly hard tolike anything with this reboost.... everything is just bad compared to the old serie so and only 13 episodes for now, and to wait another year for the next season? kinda funny if you look how fast they are doing the story
are you just guessing or do you have a source ? and by source i don't mean 13 eps have been added to ann
no source :P i jsut assume that it would be typical if that was the case

Well, that ep felt really short. Hope they dont stretch out the battle against prisoners for too long.
Oh, and somehow it is beyond odd/weird when Gon, Kurapika and Leorio watch another applicant die, being eaten by those monster birds, without raising even an eyebrow. I mean, it´s okay for Killua, considering his background, but the others show show some more empathic emotions lol
What do you want? There's already been like a hundred fatalities in this exam.
Actually the only person I think would react in an extrovert manner is Leorio. Kurapika is a mellow person on the outside, refuses to show emotions because of the crimson eye indcident. That in itself taught him how to remain calm since there are few things that can startle you more than seeing everyone around you get killed.
Gon as a person is naiive, but by no means stupid, he just takes things as they come. He probably isn't afraid because he treats life in their world equal, showing respect for nature and being aware of it's terrors, accepting that people do get hurt. I mean, if he got scared of people being eaten up by a huge frog, then he probably wouldn't be able to call Killua a friend either. But of course this is an anime after all, so using human psychology is all but futile since the only way not to get messed up by things like that is if you are sociopath.
Leori on the other hand usually acts things out because he is stupid and don't know what to do with his emotions, so the only explanation for him not acting out is that he has just seen so much death in the exam (kicking and screaming like he has been all the time when people have gotten eaten and what-not) that he just doesn't care enough, kill or be killed.
Either way, to me it's Leorio that should act up and get freaked, and him not getting freaked is a bit weird, maybe the creator just thought we'd get tired of him kicking and screaming all the time, thinking that some of us might have seen the previous series/OAVs and might get bored if everything is shown in great detail.
They have spent a few scenes to make Gon quite animalistic. That indeed goes hand in hand with what you said: In nature it's eat or be eaten, fight or run. I reckon Gon would be more shaken if Kurapika, Killua, or Leorio got suddenly killed, but otherwise I don't think an unknown person's death means much more to him than some animal's death; and he's a hunter himself (not Hunter but hunter), so animals dying even by his own hand is not unusual.
It's quite a test of one's character and patience to be groupped with Tonpa.
