Next episode is the big one.
The music in the original anime was crazy in that part. Anyone who doesn't remember should rewatch it on Youtube, it was a really scary tune.11
The moment of truth is here and it sure was... something. I honestly don't know what to think of this. I mean on one hand it seems to mean nothing is taboo as long as it's implied rather than outright shown. On the other, the censorship could reach "it's okay, I can see their parachutes" level of stupidity from time to time. I meanwhere did Killua get a bag so fast? Does he just keep one around whenever he needs to rip someone's heart out? I didn't think assassins would be super hygienic.
I don't know what this means for the Chimera Ant arc in the unlikely even it makes it that far, but I suppose I'll keep watching for now.
Also, Johaness was A LOT more intimidating in the original anime.
I dropped this after the first episode, since I really disliked the new VAs and the cuts. Any point in going back at this point?
I didn't really see any scene yet that justifies watching the new over the old (even if we're talking about just watching that specific scene on Youtube or something).I dropped this after the first episode, since I really disliked the new VAs and the cuts. Any point in going back at this point?
Still on it and enjoying the romp down vague memory lane since it has been such a long time since I saw all of the original anime run of it---annoyingly it looks like next weeks is going to be another damn recap episode like they did after the first 10 or so episodes, really hope that isn't going to be a recurring thing.
Nice, guess its of the next arc?
I thought the opposite, that they keep recapping because they'll stop the anime short, and want to milk it while they can.If this is going to be an ongoing thing, they'll probably have to do it a lot while Togashi has his hiatuses.

It's not just the general style of it, they're also being a bit lazy. For example Gon dodging the tops, there wasn't even any animation there. Just slides of pictures of him dodging with clothes flickering. The old anime was crazy in that scene.Episode 30: This really sucks. Every episode of this just makes me miss the original style and direction more.
Maybe the stuff past the original TV series/first OVA won't leave such a bad taste in my mouth, though.

The way they handled Gon dodging actually looked stylish, [B]like he was dancing[/B]. [/QUOTE]
Man, I wish I could show you a gif or a Youtube (it should be around episode ~40 if you have access to the old anime), you'd see what I mean. THAT was like dancing. Unless by dancing you mean doing the robot, then you'd be right.
I still remember the part where he twists his ankle when a top was going for his toes. Seriously what was that.
I have a couple of good things I can say about the new anime too, but Gon vs Gido not one of them.
edit: just checked, it's EXACTLY episode 40. I'm the best anime.

I never watched this anime, but Yu Yu Hakusho is pretty much my favorite anime of all time. Is this anywhere close to as good? Is there good dubs like YYH, if any at all?

You hate anything when the MC loses, no matter what the circumstances. I guess that's why you like FT so much.Well I actually hated this fight due to plot reasons.Gon losing, pretty terrible when a main protagonists loses so badly and in a terrible way, really they ought to have shown Killua fight or something as he never takes intense damage and loses in such an embarrassing way
HxH is almost as awesome as YYH. I'd definitely recommend it. There is an official dub of the original series on DVD, but I haven't watched it, so I can't comment on that.
Hmm, I might have to give it a try then. I never got into HxH because I heard the manga has some bad art.
