I don't think blaming Togashi is really the right move, but even in that case:
I think that Hunter Exam's pacing is FINE, it's still a 9/10 arc for me, but it kinda meanders at times and the fact that the first 3 eps cover two chapters is pretty strange to me, some Black Clover level pacing there lmao
But if the entire show was either slower or on pace, I wouldn't mind it, but Heaven's Arena is AWFULLY paced. It goes by way too slow, skips some stuff from the manga, and is so weirdly organized and innacurate it's pretty hard to really watch it. And i'm not comparing the pacing to 2011, I'm comparing it to the manga
And the music in 2011 isn't the best but IMO it's the same OST quality as 99, both use the same few tracks a lot of the time.
Sigh. I guess this will be infornative to you but Togashi actually requested they rewrite the opening 2 episodes. They are filler and include moments from later chapters that Togashi himself wanted placed different. So yes, they are longer, but you're including the later events they rework into the early episodes.
AGAIN a very unfair comparison. Watch the original pilot (which actually has ash's voice actress as gon) and you will see the "faithful" version that was originally made.
Its not slow. It's paced faster than YuYu Hakusho at time. I think you just dont realize what 90s anime pacing is like, but its much more preferable. almost no anime made after 2005 have a good pscing. LITERALLY 0 of the shonens that have been released. I think you just have low attention. How often do you read manga vs watch anime? I prefer reading to watching, so I like the manga pacing that 80s and 90s anime tend to have.
You can be serious when they use flamenco music and turn hisoka isnt some sort of matador lmao Rewatch the scene where he kills the guy with 2 knives during the exam. Its abysmally animated, and the music is so poorly matched. Any scene with hisoka, really. The 2011 voice actor is weak, and lacks the blood curtling evil that 99 hisoka has. He isnt nearly as sexual in the manga as 2011 makes him out to be, either. Messing up hisoka, one of animes most beloved characters EVER, is a travesty in my eyes. Makes 2011 unsuggestable.
There are too many glaring instances where the soundtrack is mismatched and doesnt fit with other songs. its like theme music rather than being ambient. Plus, Naruto as Gon is an untouchable pairing, and they were modeled one each other during both their creation. Its too fitting voice wise.
