I'd have to disagree with that. Greed Island felt like a long, dragged out training arc that could have been wrapped up in half the time. The only part I found interesting was the dodgeball game, everything else was really disappointing.
Be honest you love it because its remind you to trading card game.
It's certainly one of my favorite arcs. But we are in the minority. Best training arc of all shounen series as far as I'm concerned.

He looks the same in the later parts of CA arc, though.
Too true. I wasn't really feeling the current arc and then I started to like it and now I feel like it's been going too long. At least some shit is about to go down in the current episodes.
Then you must despise Chimera Ant with a passion, because we're just getting started.
It reminds me more of a Card RPG. And that's only part of why I love it.
Those are strong words, but I can't think of anything that tops it. I don't think of GI as a pure training arc, though.
Yeah, Chimera Ant really drags. Don't let people fool you by saying that people just got impatient after the breaks. CA is a LONG arc.ЯAW;96225097 said:

This is just the start of the infiltration...... I don't exactly know if Netero vs the King will even happen (Not a Manga reader) (I HOPE it DOES though).
it's in 4 min actually
Me neither. That's why I feel it's the best training arc. It goes above and beyond what's necessary for one...
by having biske as both a mentor and a comrade in the final battle, a team up with the awesome hisoka in an super version of dodgeball, a full explanation of Greed Island and it's mechanics as both a nen based project and a video game (allowing us to see the limitless possibilities of nen), a demonstration of how much killua has improved since the first hunter exam by having him retake it again, showing us someone that even impresses the phantom troupe (razor) etc.
Not only are they being trained, but there's so much going on at the same time.
I liked the fact that even after the training Gon still couldn't win outright against the arc villain.
Gon using the enviorment for his advantage against a stronger opponent who was set out to mutilate him (smashing Gon's throat in and burning off his hand was the least of what he wanted to do) made it an impressive fight.

The human mind is a powerful thing.
To be fair though, the last part of CA is balls to the walls amazing. The highs of CA are the highest in HxH, imo. Granted, it's a different type of high than Yorkshin for example, which is why I'm still not sure which of the two is my favorite, but it's still as high as you can get.

Watching this makes me want to read the manga again so that I can continue on. Damn, this show is good!
How has it not been licensed yet?

Yeah, this is why I don't watch previews for stuff I'm not familiar with the source material. If it's an original work, I just don't watch them period. So many studios suck at this.

Yeah, it's not the first time they made that mistake in the series, It's my advice to non-manga readers to always skip it.
But great episode, as I hoped. More impressions later.

The confrontation was good but the episode overall kinda dragged with the long flashback and reusing the same scenes over. I was hoping for some action and not just talk. I think we've had enough of that over the last few episodes.

Of course it works as a teasing spoiler because it can mean a)she is hurt b)she is dead (and the King will search vengeance!). For people who hasn't read the manga both are valid possibilities, and they don't know the right answer! But it reaches a level that lots of people don't like to be teased about, they would have preferred to don't know anything and be fully surprised when that image happens
I think we need a title change. DO NOT WATCH THE AFTER EPISODE PREVIEWS. 
For your own good! It's a shame that they have no qualms about giving away any damn thing they feel like.
This episode was so well paced and kept you hooked on every word. They did a really really great job summarizing a lot of stuff, and a few bits felt added. I wonder if anything was added to tie in to The Last Mission? I look forward to seeing it (in six months...) Some of that backstory I definitely remember from the manga, but not that last part of the flashback...

So does gon and company remember that netero was there? I feel like they might have forgotten, either that or they completely underestimated him.
they knew he was making preparations but i don't think they knew what exactly he was going to do when he finally decided to make his move.

So glad I didn't watch the preview, I figured it'd be safer not to watch after everyone said not to last time. Looks like it was a good call.

Pacing is still diabolical. A recap of this episode: Netero launches single attack at Pitou. Extremely long explanation of where Netero got his technique from. Technique doesn't fully work anyway. That was... about it.
