Oh God Palm, LOL. Netero is also the coolest old man ever, enough said. I also see the final Royal Guard is out. Looks badass enough for me:

Team Hunter

Poor Shoot haha

Got hints of Gon vs. Knuckle but it seems it's all for next week if we're seeing Bisky-chama getting serious in the preview which takes place after it. Dammit MH and your teasing

Youpi's introduction was pretty chilling and beautifully animated with Pouf's violin solo and seeing a shadowed puppet beating the crap out of some ants. I wonder if that insert song will be on the OST coming out soon

With Tomoko Mori back again at the animation helm there were some especially fluid scenes this week. Namely Palm falling in love with Gon even more XD and the beginning of Gon vs Knuckle

And who would you be forced to sacrifice Netero? Hmm...

Oh man, Youpi got introducted. I am so excited for his fights in the future, definitely my favorite fight of HxH.

Got to see Gon being a playboy, Kite's puppet (;_;) tearing those ants a new one and Shoot

Oh man, Kite... I'm guessing that's Pitou's ability? That or someone else's. If it is Pitou's, it seems kinda... weak to be honest. Or somewhat unfitting.

Great episode. Knuckle,Netero and were badass. Yupi is finally born. The animation was beautiful. I know this is a small detail but I love how they showed Knucle's tracks on the floor when he runs fast instead of just disappearing like in most anime.

Pretty good episode. Gon and Killua's preparations are wrapping up nicely! I feel like Palm is getting creepier each episode... I wouldn't even be surprised if she went out and killed Knuckle and Shoot in the middle of the night just out of pure frustration, lol.

The pacing is perfect though! I really can't wait to see Netero fight for real. Same with Knov and Morel but especially the chairman... and Knov too, haha. What a badass.

I've got say, that Shadow puppet (which was clearly Kite) scene was pretty excellently done. Loved the music and everything. Looking forward to how this all turns out and I wonder who the Chairman would have to sacrifice.

I love this anime adaptation besides the minor mistake of leaving kite out of the first episode of the show. oh well. Anways.. Loved this episode. Shoots a pussy lol. Palm is the craziest character ever. Youpi is going to destroy shit FYI. Also that intro scene for youpi was amazing. Animation for the fights in this show are the best ive seen in any anime.

It sounds like Vivaldi to me. It must be The Seasons, though I'm not sure witch one. Spring or Summer I think.

Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites.

I lvoe Palm this episode, the way she's so awkward, especially when Gon was making the pinky promise. Oh Palm, can't wait to see what you do next XD

Netero is so gloomy though, what with his prediction.

And the third guard's finally awake. Looks strong :3
And we get to see some of Pitou's power *shudder*

Looks like Pitou's powers got hinted earlier than in the manga. We still don't know the full extend of her power yet though. The type of Nen of the 2 other royal guard could be guessed just from looking at them.

Netero's statment appears in the manga too. It's a bit awkward to put it there though. For me he's just following up on the statment he made about Pitou, he saw just one royal guard and thought it would be hard for him to kill it. If Netero has a tough time against one opponent, what will the others do against the royal guards? Netero can't take the 3 of them at once. He doesnt know there are 3 of them but he surely guessed there are more than 1.

From my analysis, requiring build-up time is the least important. The crucial point is that Gon can't move at all... if he could keep running or using his legs for attacks then recharging wouldn't matter.

By the way... why isn't Killua doing anything? He's smart enough to analyze the opponent and fight at the same time. Not to say they'll have more success if both of them fight and leave that scene 50% than just Gon dropping cold and Killua 100%. They took 30 minutes to recover from that 3 hour training, waiting for Gon to recover (even if he won't be 100%) while Killua just sits around seems a waste.

Yep, and Gon's attack isn't the fastest either so with Knuckle's speed he could attack Gon the moment he tries to use it.

I also agree that it's not only SLOW, but STATIONARY. How he counters these facts are what will determine his chances of winning in upcoming battles.

As for Killua, He was told by Gon not to analyze their opponent since they won't get the chance to against the chimera ants. It's also likely that Killua will have to go one-on-one with Shoot in the same manner, without Gon's assistance. This will also be the case when facing the ants. This is how I believe it should play out @ least; otherwise, Gon can't overcome his weaknesses.

The shadow puppet scene + Youpi's intro (Pouf playing the violin) was pretty good, I replayed that scene more than 10 times already. Great job, Madhouse.

Shoot introduced. Youpi born (with his glorious Kenpachi voice). All that's left is the King.

Climax? That's like 30-40 episodes from now.

I was one of the ones who thought the first half of the arc was meh and uninteresting, but the 2nd half was pretty good. I'm enjoying the beginning of the arc in the anime 'cause Madhouse are doing a splendid job on it and I already know what happens, so seeing this set-up for the 2nd half animated with the characters that'll stay for the rest of the arc is really interesting.
