But what was the point of that? It seemed like filler. It didn't give us much insight into the Hunter process or the cast that this retry couldn't have done. It didn't tell us much aside from Menchi, while meaning well, can get vindictive. If she was a main character I guess that might have mattered but otherwise.....meh.

I figured it was a way to bring in the chairman guy and establish how tenuous all this kind of is

The Blind Women Samurai

 

[ramoisdead]

Gonna have to get used to this horrendous intro cut next week.

Previously on Champloo, blind bitches dont be playin round tho.

 

[Hellwarden]

Spears beat swords!

FIRE EMBLEM TAUGHT ME THIS!

 

[Raxus]

Blind in an anime?

You are secretly a badass.

 

[Schadenfreude]

What's that weapon Sara is using called?

 

[Shard]

Maybe fighting on a bridge was not the keenest idea.

 

[B-Dubs]

I have to ask, why censor the beginning part of the adaption if they're no longer going to hold barreds? Was the 1999 adaption done like this as well?

It had to do with the time of day it was airing.

 

[yami4ct]

I'm getting the feeling that Hunter x Hunter isn't for me. I've watched every episode so far and have been bored with every one so far.

The Hunter Exam isn't at all indicative of the larger series. The end of it shows glimpses of where it goes, but you don't even really see it until the Heaven's Arena arc a bit from now. From there it takes off like a rocket.

When I say you haven't seen anything, I really, really mean you haven't seen anything yet.

it takes a while. I think the old adaptation did a better job of this part. This one wants to get past it and kinda speeds through at times.

 

[Line_HTX]

We found someone!

 

[Soulflarz]

rip in peace

 

[Mizerman]

What's that weapon Sara is using called?

A Yari, I believe.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Ah, that makes sense then. I imagine that's going to be a jarring shift when it comes up though.

 

[GaimeGuy]

<Villagers> Who the fuck is Jin?

 

[BatDan]

Welp, so much for Jin

Who's this derpy guy?

 

[Grexeno]

"Who the fuck is Jin dumbass"

 

[Schadenfreude]

LOL Jin's secret revealed.

 

[Crocodile]

ahem

So why not just have him be the examiner and not have the whole first half of the episode?

 

[Soulflarz]

so he does care <3
2cute, otp, etc

 

[SigmasonicX]

No, the 1999 anime was more accurate to the manga, and had anime original scenes that were actually pretty well done. But starting from, uh, two arcs from now, the new anime will actually be less censored than the first anime.

 

[Regiruler]

Fashion glasses

why?

 

[Shard]

It is hard to comment on Champloo at times.

 

[Line_HTX]

Stay as long as you like.

 

[UltraGunner]

If Harrison Ford can survive a waterfall so can Jin

 

[ramoisdead]

Mugen must really want to fight Jin.

 

[Mik317]

Ah, that makes sense then. I imagine that's going to be a jarring shift when it comes up though.

I think it works well for esculation purposes

 

[Zonic]

insert reference to FLCL episode 3 & the fake glasses here

 

[Hellwarden]

Well no one could ever survive a fall like that.

Not even the Joker.

Jin is definitely dead.

 

[GaimeGuy]

You fucking bitch

 

[BatDan]

If Harrison Ford can survive a waterfall so can Jin

"I'm telling you I didn't do anything!"
"I don't care"
*jumps* "Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! My glasses..."

 

[SparksterMeta0]

For show? You mean...

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

The Hunter Exam isn't at all indicative of the larger series. The end of it shows glimpses of where it goes, but you don't even really see it until the Heaven's Arena arc a bit from now. From there it takes off like a rocket.

I think it also depends on what kind of person you are. I've read through the entire series but the Hunter Exam remained my favorite part of it.

Maybe the sense of purpose was missing. Maybe the Chimera stuff just wore me out reading it like I did. Maybe I'll feel different watching it all play out instead of exhausting myself with the manga.

But at the moment, this is the best part for me.

 

[Regiruler]

it is her fault

Edit: Beaten

 

[Schadenfreude]

What a tsun tsun.

 

[ramoisdead]

I miss Ninamori.

 

[Line_HTX]

It's the journey, not the destination. Some people in Anime OT...

 

[Zonic]

& THAT'S WHEN MUGEN MADE HIS MOVE

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Mugen cares about Jin in his own twisted sort of way.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

No, the 1999 anime was more accurate to the manga, and had anime original scenes that were actually pretty well done. But starting from, uh, two arcs from now, the new anime will actually be less censored than the first anime.

Interesting. Would it be worth checking out the 1999 anime to see the differences in motion?

Fashion glasses

why?

Rule of cool.

I think it works well for esculation purposes

Hoping this is the case.

 

[B.K.]

Stick. With. It.

I don't know if I can. Looking at Wikipedia, there are 15 more episodes in this arc. I don't know if I can take 15 more episodes of this. I hate shounen shows that take forever to get anywhere.

 

[Mik317]

Mugen isn't completely stupid afterall

 

[Crocodile]

Detective Mugen on the scene! Actually using his brains for once.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

He actually cares about Jin.

Spoiler

If only to want to kill him, I guess.

 

[Grexeno]

EVERYONE'S OFF MODEL

 

[zedreamcast]

Jesus Mugen got pissed.



Did they run out of money or somthing? everything looks...off

 

[Line_HTX]

Cut my face.

 

[ramoisdead]

Sara wants Fuu all to herself.

 

[Mizerman]

Let's fight!
