Such a high rating, and barely any comments? What the?


Decent start. I see that they're continuing right where they left off. I had a feeling they would.


Uhhh, Hisoka...yeah, you are a crazy son of a bitch.

I'm sure before MAL's forums were wiped 37246278546 times, HxH OVA had a lot of discussion. This OVA is easily my favorite arc of the HxH anime. The really dark color palette works better for Yorkshin than any of the other arcs that were animated. And after this is when they switched to digital coloring which x_x really doesn't fit imo.

Oh hey, a familiar face. =)


That makes sense. It's a shame the discussions were never recovered.


Yeah, it just fits the mood of the entire arc. Speaking of which, I'm a little worried that the new series is going to screw up Yorkshin. With the bright colors and all, it's such a stark contrast. And how they'll handle the violence is another topic altogether...

Digital coloring, eh? I keep hearing bad things about the Greed Island OVAs.

Considering the whole Greed Island thing it's pretty clear that Gon will be back in the spotlight again once Yorknew is over. It seems to just be alternating character focus. I wonder if Leorio will ever get his own arc...?

That was one hell of an improvisation by Hisoka, absolutely brilliant on his part considering there weren't any easily noticeable holes in his fake prophecy. Was laughing so hard when he started getting excited about Chrollo. I like how everyone is now operating under the assumption that the Community is scared, hiding the fact that it's actually completely collapsed due to the deaths of the 10 Dons.

I came here after watching HxH 1999. Time to watch this whole OVA!

The art styles of some characters have changed huh...

Damn. This episode is quite slow, considering the ending of HxH original tv series, but at least we have Hisoka operating with his own agenda. I am rooting for him all the way. Also, some art changes for Hisoka. I think this OVA is gonna be dark.

About the auction,.. I think they won't be coming back. But let's see.

BTW. This OVA may not definitely conclude with a resolution to Lucifer(being 8 episodes and all, it may take place over only one week). But this is nice. Hisoka may have used the misinterpretation of the prophecy to his advantage.

Hyped for the Nen blade of Gon next episode.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Weird for an OVA since it just continues like another episode of the 1999 anime with no difference. Though that's also good since the story can just continue like that.

The animation seems to be better in this, and I'm glad. Gon & Killua will get involved with the Spider once again it seems... that's very exciting.

The OVAs started strong, with no time to catch up or think too much, the reread to the past episodes was useful. Being my favorite arc, I’m enjoying it. I don’t remember that Kurapika and Hisoka had that interaction, so they fooled Chrollo?

My goodness ... I love Hisoka!
He played that so well, just knowing Chrollo would figure out why Hisoka "couldn't" tell them ... absolutely fantastic. - Kinda reminded me of Death Note with it's mindgames.
