How did you get into the anime? Like what drew you to it? Alot of people have been getting into it as of lately wonder why.
I got in when the Chimera Ant arc started. First season of Attack on Titan had just ended and people suggested that I should watch Hunter X Hunter for similar themes of despair and humanity on the brink of disaster, at least in the latest arc.

Probably has to do with the recent hype of some of the best episodes like 126 and 131 along with the manga returning.
I mean come on, that Gon figurine was turned into a buttload of memes.
Pitou is technically a male in that if it reproduces it'll be from the male side (the other female animal will give birth), like all chimeras. Same with Zazan. But there's no reason why the both of them can't identify as females. The Chimeras are a bundle of genes from other creatures, so they can have breasts and memories of females despite being male.

Where can I buy that Hunter x Hunter 50meters of hair Gon online? Japanese websites that I can't understand make me nervous.

So I'm at the Chimera act and uh
I still dislike Gon's character design; the doe eye spiky hair really betrays the reality of this anime/manga on first impression.
Just watched Neferipitou slice off Kite's arm like it was nothing. Even though she's only been around for 2 episodes...she just might be the dopest villain introduced so far.

Yeah, be careful of spoilers. I was put off on the series because of the character designs, but when I finally gave it a go, I really got into it.

New episode is out
Just one more episode for this arc, right? WE gotta get that emotional payoff

Man, the pace of this part isn't the best.
As a manga reader, I would say that the end (132-135) should have been condensed into three episodes and not four.

Nice episode, things are coming to a close. Can't wait to see the ending adapted.
Btw, for those of you who read the manga chapters after watching the episode, don't do that this week. Some things were shifted a bit, and it'd be quite a big spoiler if you saw it.
unless you want to, but just a warning.
really, I think the pacing is pretty decent right now, except for what I just mentioned above. Why do you think it's too slow ?

Yup, this arc will conclude on Ep. 135.
I thought the pacing was decent this episode, next ep should be great.

AMAZING episode as always. MY god that was as intense as Knov infiltration and one of the best episodes in the arc.
It makes me feel horrible that the ant's are in a vulnerable situation, hell I even feel for Pouf. It's heartbreaking to know what's coming now especially since I've grown to like the ant's as characters, especially the King (my favorite character).
ALSO NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
2 more to go.
EDIT: my heart is about to explode. This episode and FF Type-0 PS4 on the same day.

E3 excitement made me completely forget it was HxH day. I need to watch this as soon as class is over.
He did not

If it is what I think it is (and it seems pretty obvious) then it's a fucking cop out... Hype for the conclusion of the arc deflated... The only thing left to find out is what happens to Gon now...

I've just realised this show has had the same OP music since the first episode. GET A NEW SONG MADHOUSE!
Also, they're hitting the audience about round the head this episode, I feel.

That's being generous. There's been plenty of episodes that you could have entirely removed from this arc just by not padding the shit out of each and every episode.

Can someone explain to me, in spoiler tags how Welfin's power works again, and (episode spoiler ahead!!!!)
how he was able to kill Youpi?
Unless it's a spoiler for the next two, then don;t answer my question! Thanks!

He shoots you with his missile after asking a question, and when they hit you bugs start growing inside your head until they burst out and kill you

It's only natural.
I'm wondering, how did palm figure it out?
Did she see this shit with the wolf dude unfold with her nen?

No she couldn't do that. Recall how her powers work. They even gave a vague reminder during the episode.

I think she was privy to more of the plan then the others because she had more time spent on the sidelines, while everyone else already had missions on the field.
MORE DEAD BUGS
Dude liked to talk up his power, but ended up achieving nothing with it. Guess he had to do something with it for once.

His wings were toasted to a crisp; so Welfin was somewhat involved.
Also, I don't think his power makes bugs grow out of your brain, right? I thought that was the alternate power of his in a scenario in which he doesn't get the missiles off(ie Ikalgo). I think he explained that if he asks a question and the target doesn't answer immediately/truthfully it just instantly kills them(when he sniffed the chameleon).

this is how Welfin;s ability is explained on the wiki
Welfin is a Conjurer and his Hatsu is called "Missileman." It takes the form of a conjured organism attached to his back with a shrunken head and four alien limbs, each holding a missile. To use Missileman, Welfin must fulfill three conditions:
Firstly, Welfin may only use Missileman as a tool of negotiation as part of his vow.
Welfin must then establish a target.
Welfin then loads a missile round in a form of a question or order.
If the target lies or disobeys the order, the attack commences and Missileman automatically fires. A missfire may occur if Welfin incorrectly identifies the target, but if Missileman is successfully activated, the missiles continuously chase the target until they hit. When hit, black centipedes burrow into the target's body. The victim then experiences a great deal of pain and must do as Welfin says, for an act of defiance will cause the centipedes to grow faster--leading to the victim's death. But through a series of negotiation, if at any point Welfin admits defeat in the deal or the target tells the truth, the centipedes will weaken and eventually die.
some people are talking about how there's a lot of padding and pacing issues, but this arc has been pretty 1:1 with the manga IMO, with Madhouse making exceptions where it would be useful to prolong some some scenes. Of course, there are also exceptions to this, but I guess this is just my opion.

2nd Version is just the second verses after the first course. Part of the same song.
Now I"m even more confused as to how
Welfin killed Youpi so quickly using this method. Preview shows him in the next episode, so I guess we might find out then.

Pffbt.
Well Youpi does reject his question, the missile flies and boom? Youpi in very nerfed state afterall.

I think I just put two and two together...I think...based on something that happened this episode.
Don't click if you dont want to be spoiled by a possible spoiler in the next few eps...but this thing happened this episode and I'm a non-manga reader. I'm also just speculating.

Youpi was bleeding before he confronted Welfin so maybe he was further weakened by what is afflicting Pouf?...and then Pouf was coughing blood too...I don't know why though. It can't be radiation, as they werent there when the king had a direct hit. I figured Youpi was just excited...but they wouldn't show Pouf coughing blood for nothing.
