Shalnark for best part though why so little of the fight on him, also liked Feitan finally getting some screentime. Otherwise felt like some type of filler or something, though I guess he decided to give a break from Gon and Killua side and focus on other parts of the world.

Thank fuck some interesting characters are back. Interest reignited after dimming to a simmer. Hopefully this is the end of the poor pacing and lack of good characterization this arc has had.

i think morel, knov, knuckle, shoot and palm are interesting characters
Good honest and fun bug extermination, haha. I love Bonolenov's ability (and dialogue), and Feitan's opening was like whoa.
Man I wish Uvo was there to kill another one..

Killua's mom and Gotoh, too.
really? where does it say that?
I don't think it's anywhere in the manga, probably the data book.

Knuckle, I'll give you - I like where they're taking him and I appreciate scenes he is in. Morel has potential, but currently has no real backstory or anything to offer aside being a muscleman. Ditto for Knov sans muscleman. Shoot's one useful appearance was restraining Kite with his Nen, and when a character is relying solely on their power to be interesting rather than any actual plot or personality, that's not good. Palm is little more than a gag character at this stage.
I sorely miss the Gon/Kurapika/Leorio days.

Still have a tough time rooting for the Troupe (especially Feitan) after the special movie chapters, but the fights sure look nice.
lmao at the lion ant being interviewed. Yeah, I...don't think that was the greatest idea.
Bonolenov has an interesting backstory. His DROP JUPITER attack was pretty cool, so was Kalluto's paper powers.
Too bad Hisoka's not in on the action.
IDK if there'll be much more to it, or really if there needs to be more. The ants separated and were going off to different areas to start their own kingdoms, Big Boobs just happened to settle around the Troupe's hometown, now they're there to fend them off (and to decide an interim leader till Chrollo gets back).

Bonolenov was the boring part of the episode to be honest.
Assuming they win, it seems like it'll be a convenient way to wrap up most (all?) the ants that went off to start their own colony. At the same time, we get a little background of the Troupe and the abilities of some members.
He's not part of them anymore and their goal (not cleaning their psuedo-home town, and figuring out an interim boss) doesn't align with his - so no need for him to be there.
Phinks = Sphinx = Egyptian stuff.

I was excited for him during the manga reveal. He's like the only member of the Troupe who did jack shit during York Shin, not even a single dialogue. For years!
yeah i enjoyed his powers finally being revealed in the manga.

Oh yeah the troupe are kicking ass,I've always wanted to know about the others ability, now I finally get to see what there capable of with this arc, anything with the troupes is awesome.
The boxers ability was bizarre & cool at the same time using his odd body to create sound through dance.
Has anyone notice the scorpion ant zazan appearance has changed quite a bit?

Eh, I liked how they delved into his backstory and finally showed his powers. He seemed to be the most mysterious member of the troupe up until this episode.
It would be very hard to not notice Zazan!

Doesn't she just wear a more revealing top?
I have not seen this show yet, and haven't read this thread due to spoilers, but can someone tell me up to how many episodes will Hunter X Hunter continue airing until it ends? Will the show be complete soon? Maybe this year? I really want to see it, but as a strict rule do not ever begin watching an anime while it's still ongoing

By what people have been saying, I think we have at least another 50 episodes. At one a week, that's about another year.

I believe the plan is to animate the rest of the manga up to where it's stopped, and since the manga is ongoing, the anime may very well be shelved to wait until the manga has more content to cover. I wouldn't worry, though, there's going to be plenty of more episodes. There are still quite a few arcs to animate.

Are you from some alternate world where Togashi actually puts pen to paper? There are only two short arcs once Chimera Ant is done, and there's no guarantee the anime will cover those considering how bad a stopping point the last chapter is.
The second-to-last chapter is an absolutely amazing stopping point, and certainly reads as a possible ending.

The real question is why are you reading the thread but not watching? Sign up for a crunchyroll trial and marathon the episodes over the course of a month!I have not seen this show yet, and haven't read this thread due to spoilers, but can someone tell me up to how many episodes will Hunter X Hunter continue airing until it ends?

But see that's the problem. I don't like watching unresolved stories. I marathon all my anime and hate the idea of getting to the end, only to have to wait till God only knows when until the story gets wrapped up into a nice box with a bow tie on it. In other words I HATE being left with cliffhangers! Hence the reason I have so many anime dvd boxsets
If they wrap up Hunter X Hunter within 6 months to a year, I guess I'm willing to wait.

what the fuck, you truly are a brave soul.
I don't know how I'd be able to live like this being a fan of HxH, Naruto, and OP ( especially OP)
haha! Good point, but I'm actually going to start watching Naruto in a few weeks since it's already at a ridiculously high episode count. Might actually start watching One Piece as well, but god damn that awful art style
But I'll continue this discussion in the other thread.Crash Station

The anime may wrap up within that time, but the story definitely won't. It's based off a manga that is frequently on hiatus, the current one lasting since March of 2012. There are still many unresolved plot points and another presumably massive arc will start when it finally comes back.
If you want to wait, you'll be waiting a very long time, possibly forever knowing the artist.
This is what I feared. I dunno I'm on the fence at this point but we'll see. I just don't want to encounter another Berserk situation. That shit left me hating "Oriental Light and Magic" studios for a long time, and the wait for them to pick up where the Golden Age arc left off has been tormenting to say the least. Left me depressed and with a real bitter taste in my mouth for anime in general.

I don't get the urgency of a Berserk adaptation, the art is so much better than anything possible in anime that the fact that it isn't animated seems trivial at most, because with how much Miura can convey with a single panel an anime is invariably going to be the lesser product.

That's understandable. Unfortunately I don't think the series will be wrapped up for quite a while, Togashi loves to take his time.But see that's the problem.

Well, you know, lets hope with the anime getting closer to where the manga stopped, it inspires Togashi to resume drawing.

10 episodes? Sheesh, it seemed a lot longer looking back.
Do we know what Togashi is up to? Does he ever give interviews? I mean, it's like there hasn't been any news at all for over a year.
The Japanese 'comic' industry just seems so different from what we're used to over here. I think fans and press here would be all over Togashi, asking him what's up. Not that that would be a good thing, because of his health issues, but I just hate the lack of any news.

If I remember right- he's got health problems that give him chest pains, making doing the art a chore for him. It's a weekly series- but when he comes back from hiatus, he's essentially producing work at what equates out to a monthly rate. He just doesn't want to change the pacing nor does he want to be pressured to reliably meet deadlines.

Zazan is Zarbon. Another good episode. That being said, I don't really think Kurapika will have that big of a problem down the line taking down the troupe. None of them seem overly powerful on their own. Even though Feiten and Phinks are pretty awesome.
