Is this anime worth it if you thought the old series were good, especially the GREED Island arc?

To answer a really old question, if you don't have time. Then you'd be fine without needing to watch up to the end of the Auction arc. That's where the actual run of the old show ended and imo, it still nails the atmosphere better than the new version. However, watch the new show from the end of that (i.e. beginning of Greed Island) as the OVAs for Greed Island were terrible, absolutely terrible.

As far as dodgeball goes, he's definitely way higher than Bisky and Hisoka. For one he's Emission type and that lends itself to dodgeball (or any sport really) far better than any other type. Hisoka as good as he is physically, still relies more on trickery and mind games to achieve his goals, and.. I won't say anything about Bisky.

There are many many other circumstances where Razor couldn't do anything against both of them, but Razor is pretty much maxed out in what he's doing. And with a setup where your team is only as weak as your strongest player, that's how it's gonna happen.

I do wish we saw more of what Bisky could do or if she had more of a role in this game unless they are saving her a big action moment for later this arc.

Hmmm, I wonder.

Hehe

 

[LogicStep]

This episode was so fucking awesome. One of the best so far!

 

[Blades64]

Razor is such a BA.

 

[CrazyDude]

If any of you guys are Yakuza fans, Razor has the same VO as Kazuma Kiryu.

I somehow didn't make that connection. I knew he was awesome in the Manga. This just makes him extra awesome in the show.

I kind of spoiled myself a bit by reading spoilers on the wiki but all in all I have gone into this arc relatively spoiler free. Can't wait for the conclusion. How many episodes of Greed Island are left?

Chimera Ant starts April 21 so that gives us 5 episodes left. 1 or 2 of those may be dedicated to a flashback that took place at the beginning in the manga, but I suspect that'll be the beginning of the C. Ant arc.

Those last 5 will definitely be the end of Greed Island. That flashback will probably be the start of the arc as that event is the jumping off point.

Viz has a survey and one could suggest to viz to license this HxH anime for dub/bd release here in the US.

That'll be the first time I will watch the new version of HxH.

I liked the ovas.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

How many episodes do you think the Chimera Ant arc will last? Show is definitely going to be on hiatus unless Togashi gets off his ass and writes again.

Chimera Ant is long in the manga, so it'll be going for quite awhile, I suspect.

Doubt they would dub the series.

Chapters are not that long though.

Hopefully it will give the author time to complete the next arc

I'm new to this series, having only watched the 2011 anime. Is the writer known for taking long breaks?

His breaks, along with the creator of Berserk (Miura), are legendary.

So wait. The Hunter X Hunter manga ISN'T over? Didn't the original anime series come out like a million years ago?

 

[zero_suit]

Correct lol

1998 - present

 

[Radec]

Woah, 5 episodes left before the Ant arc?

That was fast.

I was hoping it continues with Kuroro meeting the Jounen user.

Ill give the Ant a try I guess.

 

[Piecake]

Well, technically it isnt

 

[bigkrev]

Have they talked about doing filler? I'd rather have that than an original ending

 

[DualShadow]

Unfortunate, hopefully we can get a proper ending.

Approx. how long till the anime catches up?

 

[Piecake]

Can we have neither? Just end it like it is in the manga?

 

[Blades64]

This. I would like to know as well.

 

[ZoddGutts]

Not long. There's one big arc (ant arc) and a short arc afterwards. So less about a year of anime left. Shame Togashi had stopped, if he had continued after the short arc we would have gotten another big arc for the anime to animate. Doubt they'll do any filler arcs unless they want another Rurouni Kenshin situation, even worse with Togashi not doing shit right now.

 

[Erigu]

Not long. There's one big arc (ant arc) and a short arc afterwards. So less about a year of anime left.

It took them 69 episodes to adapt 16 volumes, and there are 32 volumes total so far. Unless they speed things up, it will take them more than a year to catch up.

 

[yami4ct]

I think people underestimate how freaking long Chimera Ant is. It's almost as long as the rest of the manga put together. It'll probably take a good 8 months to get through. Still, after the mini-arc afterward I suspect the anime will go on hiatus until Togashi can finish the next major arc. Even if he gets started soon, no way he has it done enough to risk beginning to adapt it.

Great conclusion to the whole thing.

Spoiler

Had been afraid Hisoka would have done nothing, but reflecting it back with his Bungee Gum was quite cool

. So many praises to Killua I want to give, definitely still my favorite and the best performing character always

Spoiler

too bad hes on support and healing mode now.

 

[Cwarrior]

Time for Me to catch up before the Ant arc

Hunter x Hunter 62-68

bomber doesn't give a dame,Reggie would be proud.

The thrill of gambling is no joke especially when the stakes are so high.

9 of 10 chances of winning and 1 chances of dieing on the risk dices is a scary thing.

 

[Jotamide]

Spoiler

LMAO at the real Bisky!

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Looks like were getting a new ending theme for Hunter x Hunter (new) (YUZU - Nagareboshi Kirari", which was previously sung by Han Megumi, Ise Mariya and Hirano Aya).....but Im guessing were still keeping Departure! for the OP.

 

[Diablos54]

but Im guess were still keeping Departure! for the OP.

We're never getting rid of it are we...

 

[Rewrite]

I don't understand why the song hasn't changed yet. The original had great opening songs.

 

[TommyT]

Were there talks about this extending beyond the GI arc?

 

[Dedication Through Light]

You mean continuing after Greed Island? Yes the next arc is starting this month (apr 21), the new ending theme as posted just a few posts up is starting then, and we have the voice casts and visuals and voice talent for characters of the next arc.

 

[Soriku]

I can't to hear YOU CAN SMIIIIIIILE AGAAAAAAAAIN while dudes are getting killed left and right.

 

[upandaway]

Yeah it's a bit weird. It's been a bit too long.

The Ant arc would have been a great place to switch considering it's half of the series (then they'd have 2 openings over equal amount of episodes), and it's a hell of a mood shift, but if they skipped that, then it's to the end.

Ah ok. I hadn't checked out the link. Good to know!

 

[Byronic Hero]

It's so versatile. It goes with everything, from murder to fun times.

Spoiler

I've been sick of it since it didn't change after the Hunter Exam Arc.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

The next arc is that dark and grim?

 

[TommyT]

Not particularly, there are some things that happen which are on par with events that have happened previously as far as dark and grim go. Who it happens to is a bit different though.

It definitely goes further than Yorkshin. Off the top of my head:

Spoiler

The centaur with the human dogs, Pitou's brain tinkering, the piles and piles of rotting meat, the general dooms day feel during the whole thing...

Haha the OP really doesn't fit what's coming up at all, I mean, its managed to crawl along past the hunter exam, York Shin, GI and now into the Ant arc? This was the perfect time to change it! Now I don't think we'll ever get a new one.

I was talking about in general with the amount of gore/death we've seen (I'm talking about the manga - I'm still interested in seeing how the handle what's about to happen in the anime).

Spoiler

While there is more of that stuff, to whom it happens, as well as the severity, hits closer to our hearts which makes it a bit more doomy and gloomy.
