I forgot how adorable Gon and Killua could be. This series does a good job at portraying children as children, monstrous powers aside.

I like how Nen has had it's own little theme song throughout the series so far.
Not exactly. I noticed several places where the lyrics changed.Originally Posted by Archangel
Reused animation and the same song?
More like, same song, different verse than before.

I loved this arc in the 'original' series.. hope they don't rush through this.
I just hope they keep the 'elevator girl' parts in there, they were hilarious.
A good thing is that I watched the original series years ago, so I hardly know the story anymore. For me there is a gap between this arc (including the next part of it) and the OVA series.. I know there is something in between, but totally forgot it. So after this arc, It'll surprise me what happened again
I watched it years ago too and i remember every single detail... and yet i had to review basic trigonometry on my own this year because i forgot all about it.
Scumbag brain!
I thought the same thing about the elevator girl as I was watching the series. I hope there's at least two scenes with her in it: One on their way up to the 200th floor, and one on their way down.I loved this arc in the 'original' series.. hope they don't rush through this.

I don't think I realized the first time around that they were trying to learn the basics of nen usage in under 4 hours.

Just like I remembered from the old show, I like the girls working at the Heavens Arena.
Too bad Gon got so easily up there to the 200s. If he had needed to actually fight people seriously, he would be in a better position to face all opponents. Now, however, he still has little experience of fighting humans, despite his power and potential. He's simply very green.
That´s kinda a weakness of the plot, though. 199 floors of suckage, then floor 200 suddenly is made of super-human nen-users all the way.
Anyway, while I liked the fast pace here, it kinda ruined the urgency of the time limit to midnight. Maybe I´m remembering wrong, but it felt way closer, way more difficult for Gon and Killua to make in time in the original anime. Here it was kinda like "okay, here you have your Ten, now go up an register", without any efforts.
Gon's retarded, what would it hurt to explore Nen's basics just a tiny bit more before throwing himself to the wolves?
You already answered your own question: "Gon's retarded." Just like a proper shounen hero needs to be. No thinking and ("dirty") tactics, just guts, spirit and an impeccable sense of justice and friendship.
Well, I can kinda understand Gon. Going through all these boring "push"-battles, he´s thirsty for a challenging experience.
Gon is not retarded. He knows the risks, and willingly takes them. He is pretty different from the usual dumbass shounen hero.
Peace.
He knows the risks? It sure doesn't look like it. He looks like he has no fricking idea what's going on surrounded by those spinning tops. He should actually know that nothing would amuse his current opponent more than permanently crippling him and that the freak has pretty good chances of achieving it, according to Wing. Yet facing him now, ill prepared, is more important to him than actually learning first what's going on. You can claim otherwise, but I'd say Gon is stupid to forget his goal is to meet his old man again. It's just a facet of his reckless foolishness that he thinks he must laugh at Death's face time after time to be ready to meat his dad. I'd say he has broken the fourth wall and knows he's protected by the plot armor.
I'm curious to know if there's anyone that at this point still doubts the new anime is better than the old one...

That was a rumor. Togashi is just lazy. And he likes to play rpgs.
Quoted for fun... and because it might have a meaning, who knows?
(I did not watch all of the previous show and I'm not reading the manga)
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
I read the manga and can confirm that Gon will have sex with his father.
