The episode was a lot less interesting than I had expected, that's for sure. I didn't even recognise the guy with the golden headpiece because of how stupid it looked.
The Manipulator's fight was best one. Zazzan's right about Feitan hiding things. I don't remember seeing him ever using a single Nen ability at all.

As I expected from last week´s preview: this felt like a filler episode.
Having the spiders line up against a bunch of already-confirmed weaker ants is just not interesting. what made the chimera-arc so great was that life and death, victory and loss, become unforseeable. sure, gon and killua wont be dying anytime soon, but that´s about it. here i dont see any spider member dying, which makes it boring to watch. it´s like one of those typical shounen setups, where each character gets one opponent only to show off his abilities.
which was another problem: nobody showed any sort of fighting style. they only used one-hit-kill attacks. and kinda broken, too. so what, 15 times? so he´s powerful to infinity, by simply turning his shoulder, say, 100 times? 1000 times? yeah yeah, prep time and such, but still ...
what sucks most is that itll continue next week. i kinda dont want scorpion girl to die. am i mistaken or did her boobs get even bigger? lol
I'm pretty sure her boobs got bigger.

Man, I'm surprised everyone is so down on this episode.
I liked seeing the Spiders again, even if they aren't in any real danger here.
That said, Shalnark and Killua's sister's power seem like they'd be, I dunno, useless against any Nen user?
They can't penetrate the ant's shells, so they have to aim for the soft spots at the joints. What about Nen users that don't HAVE soft spots because their entire bodies are surrounded by Nen force fields?
Also, boxing mummy is Brook!
I might have said that if it didn't look like none of them were being serious.
I know right? I was like, "Why is that guy dressed like a Yugioh character?"
His attack, and it's actual effect, seems almost identical to Gon's Rock.
I don't think you can generally just blow off projectile attacks with your aura, even though it summons winds and rips tiles of roofs on occasion.

You don't have to blow them away, Ken is a solid barrier than surrounds your body. If the Ant's shell can block those attacks, then any halfway powerful Ken barrier should as well.
Episode 97 is out!!
------------------------------------------
Damn it, I was all excited thinking "Wonder what Gon and Killua are going to get up to?", to be reminded 2 seconds in that we're still watching Phantom. At least the girl's fight was interesting (I don't know what kind of net is wide enough for your body but too narrow for your clothes.. maybe it's the whole stickiness thing which somehow doesn't touch her hair or her skin.)
Feitan's one of my favourite Phantom members. His speed was cool, but his Pain Packer ability seems a little out of place for him. That said, it could just be because we've never seen him do anything before (like the body-flute guy).
Zazzan becoming a monster was no fun.

That author's got big problems with significant women in his works. Always having them becoming ugly in the end... and even before that, most of them have some male attributes.
I thought is was a tad lame Feitan had a Sun like ultimate attack when the flute guy from last week had a Jupiter one. Felt way too much the same in so close proximity.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
so its not just me who found feitan´s special attack totally out of place for his style. always presented as a super fast sword-fighter, and then ... he summons a sun and stands around guarded in heavy armor? okay.
finally, this fight is over. these last 2 episodes really felt like filler and not much else.
He suggested that the more damage he takes, the hotter the sun becomes. This is slightly in line with his role as an interrogator and torturer of Phantom.. but that's about it.

Feitan is pretty much Hiei from YH. Fast swordsman, but when cornered uses extremely powerful range AOE with friendly fire.
Peace.
I'm not familiar with Hiei, but I can readily deal with Feitan. My problem is more to do with the execution (even though his was the better fight out of the rest of them) since you hardly feel that anything matters.
It's simply because he's never shown us anything before. I would probably feel the same way about Shizuku if she hadn't carried a vacuum cleaner with her all the time to begin with.
edit: ooh... ghost files something.. that's on my to-watch-list. Guess I'll bump that forward a bit now.

It is from the same author, though HxH is far better. I still like the main character, Yusuke, from YH more though. Must be because it was one if the anime that I watched in my youth.
Peace.
I'll also +1 Yu Yu Hakusho. Definitely one of my favorite anime of all time.
Girl, you and spider guy WERE dumb. I thought of using the webbing to plug up the wounds, like, FIRST THING!
I'm kind of curious exactly how Killuas...sister?...got into the Spiders in the first place. She's not from their crappy country. She admits they're way stronger than him. Why did they invite her exactly?
She (he?) may still be useful in assassination missions. Looking at her paper-skill, information gathering should be up her alley as well.
They also needed to fill in a number 4 slot. Not everybody in Spider came from Metero City.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Maybe they invited her because of her family connections?
That, or because she is cute.
Yes, it is definitely the latter.
Definitely.
Peace.
Apparently that's a dude. Though I had to look it up.
Cuteness is justice.
Traps are cool too.
Peace.
