New Hunter x Hunter Anime |OT| of Hunters and adventure and NO MANGA SPOILERS
- Thread starter Crash Station
- Start date
The amount of narration will decrease pretty drastically starting next week, so you're in luck. The narrator will only pop up in certain scenes, he's not everywhere anymore.
Next episode should have no narration at all, for example.
I'll save you the trouble. The anime is pretty much 1:1 with the manga.
heh, thanks for the responses. I am glad to hear he won't be around as much. I kind of figured it might be a 1:1 with the manga case as with anime where they could take the time to animate most of what he was saying there was no real reason to use him so much unless he was part of the manga.
I'm up to episode 92, and things have become quite intense. I'm feeling the teensiest bit uncomfortable with the power creep;
But I'm loving the violence, the willingness to kill characters, and the sense of unease. Oh, and Knuckle is fantastic. I wasn't sure I would like him, since I've read comparisons to Kuwabara (whom I dislike), but he's a lot of fun and has a really interesting ability.
I don't want to see the villains become so powerful that the protagonists or their allies have to receive increases in power that defy disbelief based on their age or levels of Nen previously achieved by humans, or to see resolutions that feel too ass-pulled (though my tolerance for ass-pulls can be pretty high depending on Awesomeness). Granted, Netero did say that he's less than half as strong as he was at his peak, so we still haven't come close to the upper limits of what humans are capable of.

When Knuckle started spewing math like a calculator, it blew my mind. I love that guy.
My man. <3

Kuwabara's the GOAT. Knuckle is good and all and being voiced by Wataru Takagi is awesome, but he can't stand up to Kuwabara.

could we possibly get a gif of around 4 minutes in, when Killua rapidly punched Youpi?

Speaking of which I really love his name for some reason.

What's even weirder is that APR's ability of adding compound interest of nen is something I'm learning in school right now.
Whoever said learning about math in school wouldn't get you anywhere is wrong

This is perfect lol!
I've caught up!
Now I'm torn between ignoring the show until I fall dozens of episodes behind, or whether I should suffer with the rest of you through the slow pacing.
Decisions, decisions.
I just caught up too. Personally, I've learned to deal with Toei's One Piece bullshit on a weekly basis, so I'm guessing the pacing won't be a problem in HxH.
Hah. I'm currently 119 episodes behind on One Piece.
Good luck getting through the next arc. It's torture :/

You will suffer with the rest of us and you will like it!
The pacing becomes even worse than it was during Fishman Island, and most of the arc isn't interesting at all. Thankfully now that
Dressrosa
But I'm going off-topic here!
Can't wait for the new episode tonight.

That was a good episode and the preview!!!
Okay, so shit is somehow getting more and more real.
Holy shit I love this show.
Knov with the save!!! So glad that Shoot seems to live since I was really concerned after last week. I have absolutely no clue what Gon is about to do now that he is in a room with two royal guards.
Nah son, we don't do that shit here boi
Great episode and very well paced. Just to let you anime folks, as a manga reader, we are past most of the badly paced stuff. Most episodes should be just as packed as this one. 
So if it felt like it was kind of dragging and you were not keeping up, now would be a good time to start watching again.
I would have loved to see Morel, Knuckle and Shoot all fight Youpi at once. Their experience together really showed in this episode with just Knuckle and Morel. Imagine if he had his pipe.

I just said that preview, nothing specific. I do not want to spoil anything for any of you brehs
I know, I was just joking
It's no problem for me either way, I've read the manga. But most people here don't watch the previews, for good reason.
Some of the spoilers they've put in there in the past are ridiculous.

It was hard to tell. Some people go ape shit over the tiniest perceived hint of spoilers.Anyway, the preview for me as someone who has read the manga got me hyped.

Same here, I've been looking forward something that's coming next episode.
But that's enough about next week, this episode was great!

Pouf saying thank you a lot was creepy as hell. A good thing this episode did was show you where people were and what they were doing at the time by using Pouf's recon ability. I love it with a narrative allows something like that. It makes it feel cohesive.

Oh man, I've read the manga so I already know what's going to happen in the next episode, but I still can't wait for it anyway.
This week's episode was great as well, I love Pouf's ability.

The episode could have been much better. There was no plot development with this glacial pacing. Too much time was wasted on the citizen of the country and his fear of needing to escape as well as too much time on Poufs explanation and then Youpi, which we've gotten tired of this tenth episode in a row with him still using the same dull physical moves.

Episode was great but the narrator explaining things AGAIN was a bit annoying ("It could be said Morel made the right choice...")
I liked that this ep gave time to basically every character (except the King/Netero.) The ending is pretty hype but it makes me kinda scared that Gon won't get 1 on 1 time with Pitou.
Also, um, this might be me forgetting things again but WTF was up with the "human" in the cocoon or whatever? Was that introduced before this episode?

Well, I'm pretty sure the cocoon thing was the plan for all the hypnotized humans brought to the city, though, that was interupted.
However, there does happen to be a human that went missing more recently.

Reading this thread without actually watching the anime is interesting. Case in point: IIRC the manga has the exact same problem around this arc

Yeah, that wasn't introduced until this episode. I'm curious. Guys it's safe to read up to 2/3 of 286.
Damn I chance this every week but I love seeing the differences and the shitty art. I hope it doesn't bite me in the ass one of these weeks. :s
