I think Hunter x Hunter 2011 from an animation and direction standpoint is mostly just serviceable.

It looks a hell of a lot better than Shippuden does right now though.

Compared to every other show that goes for 100 episodes? HxH 2011 is pretty up there. Theres a lot of really well done episodes and sections.

Compared to HxH '99 or YYH? It doesn't hold up.
 
Also the same company that did THE single most underrated show of the 2000s, Fantastic Children.

(Which, much like Hunter X Hunter '99, has an absolutely garbage English dub. In fact, one of the all-time worst I've heard in the 21st century. Truly a crime.)

Fantastic Children's dub was done in Singapore though. Given that damn near every Singapore made dub is awful I don't know what you expected or if it should count for that matter since, again, every Singapore made dub is shite.

Well it's the only American release the series ever got, and it's not like Bandai announced in advance "hey, we're giving this a shitty Odex dub, nobody buy it!" :D

The worst dub done for a major show, i.e. not a fandub, and not porn in North America is probably another Ocean Dub, the one they did for Zeta Gundam.

I'm so happy for DTL.

Also I love the last arc. Perfect place to end the show. YYH wishes it had such a natural ending spot.
 
Right, so I'm guessing that were waiting on a 3rd HxH series now correct?

Guessing at some point the 1999 version will also get a re-dub by Viz soon right or did they deny ever going to touch it?

Lol. I mean, if Togashi ever finishes the current arc then maybe in 10 years.

Probably not for '99
 
HxH is a top 5 *ongoing manga, easily one of the best series ever. Has one of my top 5 arcs in any shonen anime
chimera ant arc

I can't fucking believe this news. It was always a pipe dream but deep down I didn't expect to see it so soon with all the other long running shows running right now and shortened schedule. So happy right now. HxH 2011 is probably my favorite anime of all time.

Gon is a very love it or hate it character. I have a friend who thinks he's the best thing on earth, but I personally can't stand him

Also, remember to spoiler tag everything HxH related now
 
Its okay to be wrong I won't hold it against you two

yorkshin is also ace, but doesn't have the amazing emotional payoff at the end

The payoff in Chimera Ant is great, but the tension and atmosphere in York Shin was equally as good. It didn't drag on and had a great antagonist group. And when we get to THAT moment in York Shin (you know which one I'm talking about), it'll be at the top of the best scenes of Toonami 2016.

I feel like having more than half the block e long running Shounen wouldn't be so bad if Toonami had more air time.

Which brings me to something I've wanted to ask for a while. Would you rather have:

A. The 11:30 timeslot once again
or
B. An extra hour after 1:30 MST (So Toonami would end at 2:30 MST instead)

You only get to choose one.

Exactly. It's bad enough that the block was shortened, but having this just makes me think one day they'll have an all long running Shonen block, which would be the worst.

Isn't it basically just short "shonen" series at this stage, I dont see how length really matters

That's what he said?

A nice, natural way to watch HxH? Sounds awesome! I've seen very little of the show, but Gon, Kilua and friends endeared themselves to me nicely in J-Stars Vic-Versus.

Lookin' forward to sketch dump'n them too!

I wonder if this means anything for the games and other related properties for it? Is this the start of a larger marketing push, or is it just purely a Toonami thing for now?

SWORD ART ONLINE - EPISODE THIRTEEN: Edge of Hell's Abyss

Old fisherman might be the best character in this damn series. Legend of the River King anime would slay. They catch the giant guardian, who has four legs. Asuna kills it. Apparently they've been called back to the front lines to fight some big bad ass boss in a trap room. Biggest group assembled.

Kirito wants Asuna to stay behind. Asuna says she'll kill herself if he dies, so there's no point to leave her behind. Kirito is LEGIT SHOOK. At least Klein and Agil are here. Oh shit its the Skull Reaver! OHKO'ing the mooks. Will the non generic characters prevail? Find out next time on SAO!

It's been like this FOR A WEEK! ;) Gotta show my KoF love!

I know the feeling though... I don't think I even read names in here, just look at Avatars. Even when our Toonami Faithful pop up in other threads.

Well you don't post very often to be fair!

sending out PM to every member of Toonamigaf made me remember peoples names now.

Everyone is too happy right now. That's never good for a community.

Jarate, we need more posts on GXP.

I can barely type right now since ive been up for like 36 hours straight at this point because lol sleep issues

I don't really see a point in a uncut yu-gi-oh dub. First of all, the animation studio that did yu-gi-oh already neutered the fuck out of the show to be made for kids, second of all, the worst thing the 4kids dub really did was just remove guns, in fact, the 4kids dub actually fits with the kid friendly nature that the original studio was going for, and let's be real, it's on the same level of quality as He Man, it's just there to sell you cards

Like that anime isn't very well made. Like, do you guys really think an uncut version of dungeon dice monsters is going to be great?

Also you cant take away the Brooklyn accent. You just can't. It's the one thing 4kids did right.
