Calm down lol. Not a spoiler nor it is an important point in the entirety of the show.
Yeah that was awesome. It was like, "bam, bitch."
I didn't realize the voice over guy was referring to armless guy, I thought "one was already disqualified" was a little mystery that was going on.
Right now I'm watching the first arc, it could have been important then, telling me that it's not is a spoiler too. It's easy to stay calm when you already know what's going to happen, of course I'm freaking out if someone slaps a spoiler right into my face, it doesn't matter how small the spoiler is, the problem is that it happens at all.
The point is, if I'm wrong about a plot point, please let me be wrong. Otherwise it's just a question of time before I get spoiled in a bigger way.

Nope, there was no deeper meaning to it. Just a reiteration of facts we already knew, not a hinting at things to come.
It was pretty much two chapters of the manga, though the order has been slightly altered.

but they did say it from the getgo
Which I missed.
I'll say it again, if I'm wrong, please let me be wrong, don't correct me! Not getting things and missing information is part of the unspoiled experience, I want that! Let me figure things out for myself and if I don't feel free to laugh but please don't give me information I didn't ask for.

I don't mean to be rude, but if you want a unspoiled experience, why be in this thread? We are all here to share opinions and thoughts and discussion. And we are way passed the first arc.
When I back tracked from episode one, I still came in here, but I knew I might be spoiled, and that was ok, I was coming into the thread talking about a series I was way behind on.
Anyways, this episode. The first half made me laugh and chuckle, maybe for the wrong reasons, haha. I don't know, I wasn't feeling it. It did pick up toward the end. Next week is gonna be sweet.

If I spoil myself by being careless when I skim this thread I don't mind, that's my own fault (but that hasn't happened so it's only a theoretical problem at the moment), I just ask that people don't give me information directly, either by PM or by quoting me which usually makes me read the post. If that's too much to ask you're right, I probably shouldn't be coming to this thread anymore until I'm caught up.
Well, you're weird.

Eh, it was just a misunderstanding. I hope you don't stop posting impressions, I rather enjoy a pair of fresh eyes looking at HxH.

I don't understand posts like this
Meruem resurrecting don't count as plot progress? and him having amnesia now? and Yupi and Pouf being nullfied for combat? and Pouf planning to kill Komugi at king's back?

That's... uh... damn, that's appropriate.
It actually supposed to be also a bit creepy, the fanaticism of the Royal Guard is so big that being eaten and appreciated by their leader is supreme bliss for them. I also liked the metaphor or motherhood. But the end result is kind of goofy, even more in the anime than in the manga. As someone has said, it's a bit alien for us.

I never watched Yu Gi Oh, but I will warn you that Hunter x Hunter is a series that have more time with people talking than with people fighting. Even when they fight sometimes the conflict is resolved talking or through some unexpected factor. And Togashi loves his little systems, procedures, strategies and tactics.
There is a later moment where a character talks about counterfeit pottery of all things... and almost an entire episode is dedicated to it. If a video game appears in the story... he will explain the complex rules he designed for the fiction game! etc
Yes it was and I'm pretty much over the initial "incident", I realize Stulaw meant no harm.
What's winding me up a little bit at the moment is that several people keep telling me it doesn't matter even after I made it clear that it matters to me, I don't like to defend the way I chose to watch the series.
No, I won't stop.
Eh, it's fine, maybe I'm a little bit too thin skinned, I can't help it, I'm just scared of spoilers. For what it's worth, I hold don't grudges, I'm just bitchy for a few hours and then everything's forgotten
I don't mind people talking and I liked Yu Gi Oh going into the rules of the game, it wasn't meant as a criticism, just something I noticed because I didn't expect it.

Bahahaha, holy shit.
This episode captured the "wtfness" of the manga perfectly. Funny as shit.

I think there is one interesting possibility for the arc to make for a really surprising end if he can do it, some type of understanding type ending for everyone instead of a classic beat down, even after king reawakens to what he was originally setting out to do, assuming that in the process komugi dies, would be interesting because of an equivalence type approach if komugi dies, while kite dies, and both sides taking a severe loss but still appeal to forgive one another and live in peace. I guess it would be a challenge to see who would have the stronger ability to forgive.
That's the worst part actually. His death made him stronger. I honestly don't know how the King's going to lose now. Unless EVERYONE has some sort of nuke in their heart.
I doubt the King is gonna fight anymore. He is gonna see Komugi and live in isolation somewhere far away for the rest of his life, or the author gonna delay the outcome like he did with the spiders.
Right now, I think everyone is done except for Gon and Pitou.

I know you are new to gifs and all but 15mb is a bit large. Most people decrease the size/time/resolution

Hunter x Hunter pacing dictates that everything take 7 times as long as it should!

You get a nuke in the heart! You get a nuke in the heart! Everyone gets nukes in their hearts
Nuke in the heart of the cards, too
Spoilers regarding remaining episodes in this arc (confirmed):
We already know that episode 135 will be where this arc ends. That's still 7 episodes away. The manga will have started back up before the Chimera Ant arc even ends, probably.
Yeah but they decided on all that stuff including the pacing probably knowing when the manga's gonna come back. So it might be that they're trying to adopt a slow pace all of sudden to be able to go alongside the manga for a while or even until the next hiatus.
No, I think Netero was the only one.
But what if the the King decided to fight Netero at the palace instead of moving to a distant location?
Everyone would have died. o:
I think its very clear the pacing of the anime are dictated by some sort of schedule, if I'm counting right episode 135, the one that said by anime staff on twitter, where this arc supposed to end are exactly coincide with transition to new airing season for TV (from spring to summer)
Its can't be just coincidence, with the amount of manga chapter adapted per episode keep steadily got reduced, from manga reader impression its seem the last few eps only had 1,5-2 chapter adapted than the usual 3 (hell from earlier episode its even more than that) its very clear attempt for deliberately slowing the pace to stop at correct moment.
I still love this show, but its quite unfortunate there's seemingly another interest in production than just offering what's the best for the show.

Maybe they just wanted the one remaining arc after this to have a season for itself? It'd make sense I guess, although that'd mean 13~ episodes at a slow pace of 1.5 chapters each.
Besides, correct me if I'm wrong, but they HAVE to end the series at the end of the summer season (assuming no filler to allow the manga to get more chapters so they can adapt them later or similar situations), which means that they have to pad the episodes to keep going until said date. The alternative in that case would've been ending with the spring season but then we'd be having the opposite problem of the episodes being rushed as hell.
This annoyed me a lot, and he's bloody stronger than before!
I originally assumed Netero would weaken him allowing for a fight with the other cast - but now he's so stupidly over powered a straight-up fight resolution is out of the question. So he's either going to "turn good" and live, or some horrible deus ex will come around and finish him off - shitting on Netero's grave even more.
I don't think any of that will happen, or at least I hope. Togashi hasn't let me down before.
I think that's the plan, we'll see.
Or one more alternative, the june WSJ's issue reveal arc is the aftermath arc gonna adapted as movie/OAV, and they can ending at eps 135 anyway.

This kinda irks me as well. I hope the king dies of cancer from the bomb or something, hehe. There has to be some side effect from the bomb or eating the RG. This doesn't sit well with me, haha.
Well, I think everyone on that trip was prepared to die.

Yeah but there's kinda the issue of the literally thousands of innocent people possibly getting caught in the blast which pretty much defeats part of the purpose of why they're there in the first place.
