I'll second that, but just a remark regarding that preview (as someone who's read the manga and thus doesn't care about spoilers): I can't say I remember thinking "wow, this episode is kinda ugly" even once so far (which I find quite impressive considering how long the new TV series has been running), but next week might buck the trend... Hopefully, they'll find some time to polish the thing before it airs.

I was thinking the exact same thing. It's strange they chose this episode for the better animation too, especially looking at the previous and next episode.

Was expecting the nonstop thrill ride to continue, but I liked the ep. I have come to just enjoy the show and not worry about "where's the action!?" and all that, since that's not how this show rolls. That and Id probably be irreversibly pissed at the pace, if my mindset was that way. Regardless, awesome stuff.
Togashi. Please. Start writing; if even just for the show. Pleeeeaaaase.

I actually.... liked the episode. Had good pacing for what it was. Solid 7/10.
I liked the episode despite being initially disappointed when I realized what the episode will be about.
I actually felt bad for Welfin and Ikalgo earned mad respect points in my book.
Curious to see where Palm's character is taken from here. I really don't want her to be on the Ants' side...

Seriously.
I still remember the Gyro flashback. It seems both he and Welfin had shitty fathers. Also that woman in Welfin's flashback was creepy as hell lol. She looked like a demon seducing his father or some shit.
This was a good episode overall, but the fight with the King keeps getting delayed. Well at least next week's episode looks pretty good. I like

I suddenly like both Ikalgo Welfin/thongwolf now.
I don't remember if the anime did it too because they did his episode earlier, but
at the end of it in the manga they say he fully regained his memories as he was reborn, and just walked away. They kind of strongly implied he was never part of the arc as an ant.

It's funny how this anime, out of all the action heavy ones I watch, seem to move the fastest (even with the dialogue heavy scenes).
I get so absorbed into HxH tension and suspense that it feels like the run time is 10 minutes, while other shows with more (physical) action feel like 30-45 min
Love it.

Hasn't happened in the anime, but it might, so maybe it's a spoiler.
I wouldn't say it's a spoiler in the same way I wouldn't say Kite's flashback was a spoiler before it was added in, but spoilered just in case I guess
But it's something that's definitely significant for future developments, right? At least, that's the consensus.

Damn, what kind of shounen do you watch?

Its far from standard. IMO at least. I guess its just not for you.
It felt like drgon ball z and one piece with like the tournaments and learning techniques and getting super strong in a day, what would guys say sets it apart, i might not be picking up on something.
You sure as hell aren't.
That's only on the surface though. And even though it does very cool stuff within the shounen framework, it's still shounen.

It could be if Togashi ever decides to grab a pen and paper to draw again, but as of right now it only really serves as backstory/motivation for Welfin and Ikalgo tbh
It's jumping from Shonen genre to Shonen genre with each arc- but its playing with the formula at the same time (primarily with its love of anticlimaxes.)
Of course, everything is considering Togashi ever starts up again.
But I apologise making this a manga-thing, so let's go back to the anime.

I've looked before with no luck. I wish his fans could communicate with him somehow. At this point I just want an answer as to why he does these hiatuses, if he continue with the manta or not is entirely up to him. But I just want to know why and if he's never going to continue he should just announce it already.
I don't understand how someone that produces something that a lot of people care about and enjoy can do so without having a website or some way for your fans to reach you. :\
Episode redeemed Ikalgo a bit in my eyes, dude has an insane pain tolerance. Everything involving Welfin was interesting, dude's far more significance than I thought. I overestimated him though, his encounter with Melereon made him look so fucking fierce. Dude was not the killer I was expecting.
Yeah, that's one thing I noticed about this show. A lot of the popular Shonen like DBZ, Naruto and Bleach like to drag things out forever. Hunter x Hunter likes to pull the rug out from under you a lot. The writer builds something up, only to be like, 'nah, this is gonna happen instead.' It's actually pretty refreshing after watching those shows.

Anyway, I liked this episode. I was initially disappointed because I really wanted to see the good fights, but the situation in this episode was surprisingly tense, and touching. Good character development, and.... Palm!

Komugi's busy being knocked out, though. Maybe Palm's appearance will contribute to significantly changing Gon's behavior.

As someone who waits before all the episodes in an arc are available to start marathoning, is it known/guessed at how many episodes are left in the current arc? Looked at the wiki just now and my jaw kind of dropped when I noticed the disparity between number of episodes between the last one (17) and the current one (50).

Why does the octopus get so much screen time, please stop.
Hush, you. Ikalgo is awesome.
Huh? It's following the manga pretty faithfully, in fact it's getting stuff out the way now to solely focus on the King and Netero.
This is not filler.
He's not saying it's filler, I think he's just saying that they seem to be stretching everything out to make it longer. I can see where he's coming from.

Bout 6-8 left. I'm guessing 130 will be the last ep for the CA arc.
