Really? The just glanced over the Kurapica fight? Surely they fucking realize this is a *tournament* in a *shounen* series...I'm all for proper pacing but this is getting ridiculous.
...Killua's match was awesome though.

I'm guessing that they realized that since the audience already knows the tournament is over and who lost, there's no point trying to build a lot of tension in the earlier fights.Originally Posted by Uchiha Barles
Kurapica's fight wasn't about building tension so much as it was about being awesome. Awesome fights are what shounen series are about, in large part. I mean, if you're going to skimp on things because you assume your core audience has seen this already, then why should your core audience watch this again?
Anyway, I was really looking forward to Kurapica's fight being updated and made more awesome, but barring that, there's still the original:

The only problem is that in the original anime, in order to flesh out the fight, they decided to deviate from the manga plot and place it ahead of Gon and Hanzo's fight (so that it wasn't simply an afterthought). In the manga, Gon is supposed to sleep through the fight, just as it happened in the newer version.
It seems they really are trying to follow the manga more closely in the newer version.
Except they're censoring the shit out of everything...
Yeah, the way they censor stuff has me quite confused. For instance, they have no problems showing Killua's face and hands smeared with blood after the fact, but they won't show any blood coming out when he is thrusting his hand into Bodoro's chest.
Filler, all filler. The new anime is following the manga without too much filler... The old anime went as far as changing some events so that they could add filler.
That's the difference. Bitching about this is like bitching that DBkai removed the fillers of the original dragon ball.
The end result though is that this series is mostly convincing me that it's the MANGA that wasn't as good as I thought it was.
When all the best parts of the original series turn out to have been filler, that doesn't say much for the source material.
The manga isn’t as good as you thought it was because it didn’t have Hisoka and Kurapica’s skirmish? What else did you miss in the new anime? Leorio taking the bus? I’m sure that’s a moment to remember… Or a woundless Hisoka attracting butterflies that follow the scent of blood?
Togashi is recognized by the most impartial manga fans as the most talented mangaka working for shonen jump. Yes, even above Oda. He wrote YYH, and his now on his second successful manga. You think a guy like that would write something that isn't good? ”. It’s true that talent comes with a prize, and that’s that Togashi is lazy as fuck… reason why he’s always taking breaks. But even through he treats his fans like shit, everytime a volume comes out, he makes tons of money. The sales of HxH are better than bleach and other mainstream (which HxH isn't) mangas.
I'm gonna call bullshit on this unless a mangaka's quality is judged completely separately from the quality of their artwork.
I also love the use of the term "impartial manga fans" while sounding like the exact opposite of that.
