Hunter x Hunter 2011

[Buffalobiian]

Damn, being a Killua fan, it sucked years ago to see him being pulled away from the scene just to redo the exam.. and I feel exactly the same watching this again now.

I've got to revise my Nen terminology. It was easy to grasp when AnimeOne translated moves and stuff. Now we have to remember what Kagebunshin no Jutsu means.

[MFauli]

Kinda filler episode. Well, no, still nice to watch, but no focus on a single plot develpment, rather an overview of all things going on currently.

It means Shadow Clone Technique

Eh? What terminology did you find hard to grasp?

Just remembering the function of various names.. eg Zetsu (I think), Ga-something (the eye one), and then the resultant combinations and stuff. It helps when they show the kanji when they introduce it, but I have to try to keep that in mind.. which doesn't always happen.

[Archangel]

Zetsu means eliminating one's aura, Gyo is focusing your aura somewhere ( usually in your eyes so you can actually see nen ).

It's pretty basic, you'll get the hang of it eventually i think.

Yeah, I remembered them pretty well a few years back when I marathoned the original series. This probably wouldn't have happened if I didn't skip the tower arc with Wing.

Mmm, Phantom Troupe, coming to play!

Gon needs to get that Hadoken of his working.


I'm with Buff, the sheer number of terms they like to throw at us is pretty daunting. Last week's episode with Biscuit reminded me a lot of a couple of Wing's episodes because they try and introduce too much stuff at once.

"Sometime, you direct your energy to one body part. That's called X. And when you do that in response to an attack, that's called Y. But sometimes, you only send SOME energy to one part while keeping the rest of your body covered. That's called Z. And sometimes you send your aura into an object. That's W!"

66 is out!

Btw, anyone got any idea how long this show is gonna be? Like, are they aiming for a certain ep count, or just sort of go on like One Piece etc until they feel like quitting or it doesn't earn enough money? :P

[Buffalobiian]

No idea, but it better go for at least 2+ arcs after Greed Island >_>

[Munsu]

You skipped the tower arc? Why? Tell me at least you watched the Hisoka vs. Gon fight, it was awesome.

Usual popular battle shounen formula, it''l go as long as it goes.

If they cancel/stop producing this anime after the Greed Island arc, they should all be written in some Death Note ...

@episode: Nice as always, buuuut I wondered: Can this actually be legitimate what Killua did? I mean ... what if somebody did that at the start of the previous exam? What if it´d always happen? Would lead the whole exam-concept ad absurdum.

[Munsu]

Biscuit's facial expressions on this episode were awesome.

I guess all participants except Killua really were weak compared to some monsters Gon and Killua faced in the previous exam.

I was planning on skipping everything from start to GI, but I got bored and started watching a few weeks ago. I already downloaded Ep44 last night after reading that it was awesome. I'm going to guess it's the fight you're talking about.

My understanding is only one arc after Greed Island is even finished in the manga.

If it's long enough, they might be able to finish a second, but I dunno man...

Episode 44 is the fight between Uvogin and the Shadow Beasts. Gon vs Hisoka is Eps. 35-36

[Buffalobiian]

Hmm, thanks for the info guys. I've started watching the episodes from roughly when Gon leaves Wing, since Kurapika is arguably my favourite character (aside from Killua and Hisoka).

I'm currently just up to where Phantoms are all getting their own prophecies, and from what I've seen so far this adaptation is probably better than the original. Hisoka's not the same anymore, but they still manage to effectively give him his boner-moments when needed.

Episode 67 is out!!














Razor sighted! I can smell the end of this arc..

[Kraco]

I think I also sighted this show's idea of fanservice at the very end of the preview: Naked Hisoka...

But yeah, the arc's speeding up.
