I watched this when I was younger, and one of the scenes that I remember the most about the first episodes is that line when
I would have loved to see that in the new one.
Gon talks about Mito's smell:
"Mito, your smell...I don't know my real mother's smell, but Mito, you have my mother's smell. Wherever I go, I won't forget it. Mito, you're like my mom."

Yeah, but a lot people want the filler too because their only experience with the series is the original anime. I know Hitokage and Jexhius will just argue that the people fine with it being cut out are "manga purists".

I hope they get to the Ant arc and it's not that far away since they're going really fast with this one.
I'm at Greed Island in the original series. Should I continue or wait till this version gets to GI?
Btw, the York Shin arc was great. It felt really different from how HxH felt up to at that point because of all the mafia stuff.

Thanks. I guess I'm passing on this one.

In the manga it just shows the guy missing his arms but no blood shown with hisoka saying"magic"those same lines, in the old anime hisoka just scares the guy by throwing a card at him.

Episode 3
Just needed a bit more action, however, Killua and Gon's perception of the juice was interesting. Killua has such a cool personality, though as the opening and ending suggest, I wonder the events that allow him to become part of the main crew.

What the flying fuck is this shit!? Flowers!? They keep the guy's shining boner in the credits but can't even get one of his first defining moments right? What's gonna happen when Killua
They even censored a bit of his backstory by saying he
And what the hell did they do to Hanzo's eyebrows? Then we got Killua who is acting a lot nicer unless I'm remembering wrong. Either way, super disappointing.
Gonna keep watching, but with extremely tempered expectations. It does look like the pace is slowing down as it only covered 1 episode this time. Don't know if that's a good or bad thing, but it may speed up again if the preview is anything to go by.
rips a dude's heart out of his chest? Is it going to disintegrate into rolls of tasty pastries?
ALMOST killed one of the examiners instead of saying he killed one/a few. We already know people kill people in this show, so what's the point?

There's still a chance it could get better. The ED does imply some morbid plot points, so I really don't know how they'll get away with censoring certain scenes.
Still might be a good idea to wait it out for now. Who knows, maybe people will complain and it'll move to a later timeblock allowing for more violence (EXTREMELY unlikely, but you never know).

Episode 4
Wow the Hunters Exam is long, ready for more. I enjoyed the characters interactions, really insightful.
Finally some fighting is on the horizon!

Kurapika and Leorio's backstory were both touching, however Kurapika seems to have the rather vain motive for just doing it out of revenge. Gon and Killua's motive is just odd, surely there could be something more sentimental or deeper. Also, I hate when named characters are defeated in the next episode, dude with laptop for example...

Yeah, I'm just hearing about this and I don't get it. If they wanted to make new stuff to cover NGL and the ants ok, but the original was great and I don't think it's aged poorly. I think I'm alone in liking greed island though. It's not great for the story but the reason Loved Togashi's writing was how good he is a endless small detail. if you read the volumes he actually made up all 40 spell cards and so many rules of the game that were never brought up. He has whole chapters about the logistics behind a battle that are fucking great. I love the new chapters that are out as well.EviLore said:

Greed Island is my favorite arc. You're definitely not alone.
BobTheFork said:
Right, well, as far as the anime goes, the second set of greed island OVAs is a major dip in production quality (and shift in tone etc.) so I don't watch it when I watch the series, and since the first set of greed island OVAs is just setup, I stop at the end of the auction arc.

Ep 4
Only notable censoring is the lack of blood during the

A bit disappointed they cut out the alternate route in the tunnel and Tonpa being douchey to the main group, but w/e. Not super important and Tonpa's character has already been established.

Episode 5
Either Gon and everyone is rather weak or theyve made Hisoka seem overpowered. He doesnt even feel like an antagonist.

If you enjoy it, I highly recommend you check out the manga. Probably the best Shōnen series of the last decade.Dedication Through Light said:
I really hate the voice acting in this version. It is absolutely atrocious in its own right. It doesn't help that the original anime had great voice acting. They made Hisoka annoying (I see... I see.. I see..., unmemorable voice compared to original series), Mito sounds like an old lady etc'
The censoring has already been discussed and I completely agree. No point in censoring this show as it is too bloody to pull it off in a good way.

Well at least we know people die now. I don't fully remember the corresponding episodes in the old series, but the only major bit of censorship this episode seems to be a lack of blood here and there. People still get
, so the subject matter for the most part is still intact.
It seems Hisoka isn't as intimidating as in the original, but I'll blame the direction on that rather than the content. It isn't THAT much worse and shades of his sadistic perverted nature are showing. The
test will be what we really have to watch for in regards to whether Hisoka has really be totally gimped or not.

Episode 6
That was fun, gourmet hunters almost reminded me of Toriko, so glad the phase two was finished in just one episode. Stoked about the next episode for the promise of more Killua action.
The Chairman sounds like the old man of weatheria in One Piece, cool.

I mean it doesn't even make sense. Fine, you cut out part 2 of the second phase to save time. That's, at the very least, logical. But then you pad out the rest of the events?
What's the point? The padded filler wasn't nearly as good as the original content and it was just as lengthy. It's like they traded manga content for filler.
They got rid of so much good detail for 10 minutes which they put back in filler later anyway. I'm lost.

And we get our first taste of Killua's talents. That's good since it probably means we won't get any plot censorship.
With the tower starting next episode, the moment of truth is almost upon us. Will the show incorporate massive censorship and omit the tone shifts, or will we be in the clear when and if this version actually gets around to the Chimera Ant arc?

Just started this, and finished the first 4 episodes.
I read parts of the manga (some parts of it) and remember parts of it being gory.
It's okay so far, but I guess I will continue.

Did the battles between exam takers start yet? I think that was the bloody part in the manga

WOW Killua was so cool, I didnt know he had those skills and is
I wonder what other skills he has. Him and Gon v Netero was one of the best moments of the anime thus far.
They really keep characters alignments nebulous, for example
And green blood...

Episode 8 was pretty good, finally with some fights in it, its going to get cool. I wish they didnt end it at Gon v Sedokhan, wonder what Sedokhans challenge will be.

I like the music in both versions. They're just different. The original had more of a coming-of-age feel to it, while the remake is happier/goofier.

Tonpa still a douche. It's been a while, but I feel like him
was more epic here than in the original.
Either next episode or the one after that will be the moment of truth regarding censorship. The anticipation is killing me. By this time in 2 weeks, I will be either super disappointed and possibly drop the series until it gets past Greed Island or I will be super relieved and continue to watch it.

This keeps being brought up but is something that graphic or something supposed to be coming?
Will it really? I thought the moment of truth was when Hisoka first appeared. (manga)
As far as the heart goes, they could just as easily handle it as they did Killua when he stopped playing with Netero. Make it a silhouette and then showing the blood on Jones's shirt.
Also it'll probably not be next episode because Leorio's psychology fight lasts an eternity of dialogue
Crash Station

Yes, something quite graphic is coming.
Yeah I know. It's just the first significantly gorey event that really helps set the tone for the rest of the series. Even if it isn't outright shown, the way the scene is handled could really alter the future of this adaptation. I mean it has gotten better like with
Killua killing the dudes

Silly way to win but whatever. Kurapika got all scary, that was wow! I hope he gets his own plotline to get revenge or something. I cant wait for next episode, I guess it is Killua's chance to show more skills.

Nah, we'll almost definitely get that scene next episode. It isn't exactly long and they could easily end with it.
