Go back and watch it. He does say that in a one-on-one match, Zeno would win, unless Chrollo actually wanted to kill him.

I reject your stance. Don't be crazy.

Pretty sure he didn't say that, he alluded to Chrollo standing a chance of killing him but not easily.

I was wrong; it was not both. But Zoldyck would most likely win if Chrollo just wanted to steal powers. If he actually wanted to kill him, Chrollo would most likely win. That's what I got from the exchange.

yeah Silva even mentioned that physically Chrollo had gotten stronger since their last encounter.
I doubt it. I think Togashi said all he wanted with that one scene; that Chrollo and Silva have fought before, and that Chrollo has become stronger since then, probably indicating that he's still growing. The details are irrelevant.

Don't they reference that they killed one of the Phantom troupe but it was really hard? Is that touched on more in the manga or just a side point line?

Aah. Man, there is some much back story I want them to to touch on.

None of the shit you guys talk about in this thread will ever be touched on lol.
Rewrite
Not as deep as he thinks
I don't think he's crazy. I agree with him on some parts. The older animation had a certain style to it that made it stand out. The backgrounds on the York Shin arc in particular stood out to me the most. They were beautiful and fit the darker tone of that arc compared to the new version. I liked the added filler to expand on the other hunters as well, since it gave us a glimpse of who they are. And the music was fantastic too. I love the soundtrack of the newer one, but to call it inferior is crazy. There's some awesome tracks in the original version.
And nothing will ever top the song for the second opening for the York Shin arc in the original. Song is so fucking badass.

I'm so glad that you wrote this as it really is Yorkshin that stands out in that series. It's really remarkable. The original GI ovas are also kinda funky.

I disagree on the music. I did say it was inferior, that doesn't mean I think it sucks though. I just think 2011 is better.
That other stuff is personal preference of course. Like I said though, I'm only at the beginning. I will truck through it the coming months.
I'm was being cheeky with the crazy part btw, cause he is an expert and all of that
All this stuff is personal takes on things.
Hisoka's VA is definitely better in the original.

This was one of the clips I was watching earlier:

Coincidentally it was the scene you guys were talking about above. I didn't chime in though cause the argument was pointless, both Chrollo and Zeno are incredibly weak.

So much this! I still maintain his voice was one of the instance of casting perfection
lol no
He's able to punch faster than the speed of sound. It wasn't pointless,
Also the Netero episode was one of the best ones of the arc. It was a "slow" episode yet I didn't think it was slow at all.
You are bro. Let's hear the awesomeness of it again.

To me, original is still the best until the end of York Shin. After that, 2011 easily wins.
If we're comparing the original anime to 2011, the scene that stands out the most to me is still Gon's fight with the topspin guy in the arena (in favor of the original anime). I can't find any youtube excerpts of the original anime, but it's a lot better. 2011 has so many still frames, it's like they took the manga literally, when the original is animated all the way.
From around where Uvo wails on the mafia, though, 2011 really started rocking it out and it never stopped up until now. It's as good as a HxH anime can be (though I consider the original to be the same way).

Uvogin vs the Mafia(and their nen users) is one of the goriest things I've seen on a prime-time shonen anime adaption.
I believe it was one of the major factors in getting it moved to the late night slot.
*sigh* I wish this new series would change it's OP... at least once.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
the old HxH anime style always looked generic to me and like every 90's style anime

I skipped to the yorknew arc on the 1999 series and watched it all. It was pretty good. I still really enjoy 2011 more though. I really like the current art style better and the pacing. I prefer the current Hisoka voice actor as well. It's more alluring or something, haha. I also like Killua better in the 2011. Maybe it's how he is drawn or whatever, but to me, he is more sinister and dark or on edge more in the 2011 version.
I am re-watching the ant arc right now. Watching in straight shots is very different than waiting a week in between each episode. The pacing is fast. Can't wait for tuesday!

Same here. I much prefer the designs of the new series. Those are significantly closer to the manga.

This song has been posted like 50 times in this thread but I just find it boring and meandering. Doesn't suit the arc at all.
Hunting for Your Dream better encapsulates that arc.

I'll follow this rule from here on out. Totally regretted watching the preview from last week.
I didn't see last week's preview for today and won't watch anymore from now on. I'm hoping to get my mind blown.

The first half felt pretty slow, but I guess that's understandable. Second half was better. The King was definitely pretty frightening.
But man...the narration. You guys weren't kidding. I've never seen the manga, but I can only imagine narration boxes, narration boxes and more narration boxes. I wish the narrator would reign it in a little and let the characters speak for themselves. This is quite an odd feeling.

Yeah, some chapters took forever to read lol.
Don't worry, we definitely leave bullet time at some point soon.

oh it was indeed glorious
loving how the story book narrative gives the recent episodes a lot of suspense
Edit: Why are old man in Shonen so bad ass
It's Killua that says that to Gon. It's not "they" though, as Silva did it alone. He told his family afterwards to not go after the Brigade.
