| It seemed as though the OP levelled up shounen-style and though the pacing is incredibly fast, it was actually done quite well. |
     |
| the real fight starts now though. things are about to get really exciting. |
| I was like Holy Effing Shit when I saw this in the new OP http://www.gmrup.com/d4/up13344665881.jpg nice ep BTW 5\5 :) still I demand that gay color pattern to change |
| The new opening song is different. It has much different lyrics but i liked how they changed up the scenes. The ending i thought was awesome. The showed the spiders and Kurapika looked badass with his hair changed up a bit. Can't wait for the spiders to appear... Also the next episode has Hisoka in it!!! can't wait |
| Holy! This is so nostalgic. Zushi and Wing-sensei!!! And the OP... I thought it would be cooler... but it is just another version of the first. The Phantom Troupe is finally included in the Opening. I wished they had made their color a little darker though... the song doesn't really fit with them... I cannot wait for York New Arc! They sure put a lot of spoilers here especially the characters involved... loved the ending animation. |

| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- <333 Killua is way too cocky sometimes, but I still love him all the same because he's earned the right to be cocky :P PUNCH AND CHOP XD I like Zenshi, but I hate his teacher. He seems creepy, kind of like he's gonna make Zenshi use Ren even though it'll hurt him. I'm interested to know what Ren is though. Killua and Gon were adorable when Gon was like "...Why don't we just ask Zenshi what Ren is?" XDD 4/5 - The episode wasn't as well-paced as usual. It was still really enjoyable though :) I really loved how they just changed the lyrics of the OP. Interesting, as they use the main melody throughout the other OSTs. ED's all right, but I liked the old one better. |

| The opening... THEY GOT LAZY, DAMN IT. But Kurapika + looking at his hair was fking cute~. XD Nice episode. The new ending is good! And love this arc <3 It's where everything comes together. 5/5! |
| OMG. I've been waiting for this! This is when things start to get really good! Excited that they showed the Phantom Troupe in the opening and closing(though, isn't that a spoiler?). Not too crazy about Machi's hair being pink. Love the new ending theme! |
 |
| The new arc New ED is nice. 5/5 |
 |
| Found the new OP AND ED incredible, some of the best I've ever seen, especially the freakin' ending. And yes it's incredibly spoiler-y to show them all in the opening/ending, lol. Oh well. I've always enjoyed the concept of the Heaven's Tower arc but not so much the execution. We'll see, I'm liking the anime much more than the manga up to this point. |
| i like this episode, incoming Nen training |
| Wow I love the new OP/ED...i like that they didn't drop Kurapika and Leoreo and show what they're doing now while the kids are in Heaven's arena. Massive dump of new characters too. New version of Zushi is really cute. I can't believe my eyes when I saw that during the new Hunterpedia section, on the white board, is there a love umbrella with Gon and Killua's name underneath? ^^;; |
| wonder why they changed machi's hair color; it was blue in original and now its pink |
 |
evil_kenshin said: wonder why they changed machi's hair color; it was blue in original and now its pink I think that she had pink in the manga, and they changed it to blue in the 90s anime. Didn't think they would include York Shin characters so early on but well, I like it. It reminds me that this show is getting better and better, advancing slowly to my favourite part. Killua's confidence bordering on arrogance and the look in his eyes when he's annoyed made my day. |

| >/////< w-wow the made zushi look soo cute and they made wing hot! -haha *fangirling* i love the people who made the 2011 version! i hope thy go past greed island! i cant wait for the movie also~ wooo and nice new version of the opening i liked it lik 50% more,the ending had the people who don't come to like ep 50 in the origional woo! i love it! |
 |
| MAN! THAT ENDING! THEY EVEN SHOWED THE MUMMY MAN WHO BLOW SOUNDS ALL OVER HIS BODY. MEANS THEY WILL EVEN COVER NGL/ANTS ARC OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!! Too good! |
| New opening and ending - like! Though it took me some time to be sure the opening was really new since I normally skip it. Sushi-kun reminds me of Rock Lee the wayhe's talking. VA not yet added to the Seiyu-list. Does anybody know? Seeing Hisoka in the ED made me think he is in the arena, too but they don't know it yet because he arrivd before them and made it to the 300s or so with his first match. xD Nice episode. A little quick-paced (can I use this word? Sounds a little odd), but good. I guess even though Killua has more interest in the Ren-technique, it's Gon who's going to need some training and new moves. At this rate, one strong push won't be enough to settle a fight, soon, since the opponents keep getting stronger. |
| Anyone else feeling a Goten Trunks vibe from Gon and Killua. Anyway good episode 5/5 |
NateXsama said: Anyone else feeling a Goten Trunks vibe from Gon and Killua. Anyway good episode 5/5 yep Killua = Trunks Gon = Goten |
| Good start to the arc |
 |
| Yeah, just checked my HxH manga and her hair is pink. I think I like her blue/purple hair better. *lol* |
|
| That's where it begins to get very interesting. BUT Ergh...:-Is this supposed to be the second OP? It's almost the same op with the second part of the song... -They shouldn't have changed Machi's hair color !! Why are they trying to change every character? |

The old version was the one who took artistic liberties whereas the new version is trying to stay truer to the manga's designs and colors. :) |

j0x said: NateXsama said: Anyone else feeling a Goten Trunks vibe from Gon and Killua. Anyway good episode 5/5 yep Killua = Trunks Gon = Goten This was a great episode. While the first arc used Pokemon as an inspirational foundation, this newest arc is more Dragonball-esque. It's reminiscent of the Tenka'ichi Budokai tournament. Gon's opening "push" move especially--that's a direct homage to Goku (in action, anyways--HxH makes it look like a more serious maneuver. Pay attention to how the violence looks in this series). And the Goten / Trunks vibe is definitely supposed to be there. Though I didn't catch the Fist of the North Star reference--nice find.  However, as you may have realized, an oddity pertaining to Gon appeared in this episode. An inkling of something. During his first match, when Gon first pushes his opponent out of the ring, we get this interesting curiosity: Gon looks down at his hand and contemplates his newfound strength. "Was I always this strong before?" It's something new to him. He is in awe of how much his strength has increased. He stares and his mouth contorts into a sort of slight smile in that moment of shock. Gon somewhat likes it. If you remember, he was incredibly humiliated by being forced to confront his weakness in the Fourth Phase against Hisoka. Despite all he suffered throughout the Hunter Exam and despite being a child, Gon only cries when he's insecure about his own strength. Really pay attention to any mention of power and how it pertains to Gon Freecss in this arc.   After Killua decides that they're going to the top floor of Heavens Arena, Gon has an interesting thought.   "Actually, that was my intent from the beginning." Money wasn't the main issue for Gon. Seemingly, it's the act of fighting itself that's more important to him than anything else. |

| Huh... Of cource an other great episode from hunterxhunter... Can't wait for the next :) |

| End Zionazism |
 Cool episode with that nice ED and OP visually, Gon and Killua looked so happy. Mind blown when they were just wiping opponents out with one hit. Curious what this Nen and Ren is. |

| some people here are discussing spoilers... :/ |

| Good episode and I liked the new ED song, Osu! |
| How I love this arc. And after 26 episodes the animatios stills perfect. Madhouse is doing an amazing work with HxH. 5/5 |
| The new ED is GLORIOUS. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I believe Madhouse is going to take Hunter x Hunter passed Greed Island for sure... or else they wouldn't have put a wait on Kaito's character for a later appearance. Also you could see the silhouettes of Ant Arc characters in the Hunter exams introductory opening. I'm more than positive that the anime is going to reach the latest arcs.. |
| Nice episode, I'm loving this anime so far. I think the anime will reach the latest arcs too. And if the manga gets out of its hiatus soon we may have even more arcs to adapt (or even an ending, a man can dream). |
| Yeah its my first hiatus but i have a feeling that it's going to be short compared to his previous ones. I want my next chapter already!! lol |
| Well, the current hiatus is much more bearable than the others since we finally got an ending to the Ant Arc. Also, we had 30 published chapters without a pause. And the Election Arc got an ending too. So, even if takes a while, I'm not really annoyed at this hiatus (and after 3-4 hiatuses I don't really care about them). |
| The OP switched to the next verse of the song, and the new parts are animated nicely. The brand new ED is also pretty nice, and is also animated nicely. Gon's push is kind of unbelievable... I thought he'd be fighting with raw technique. :P |

I don't mind the hiatus much either, I just like reading HxH lol |
| The OP/ED are now exclusively Masatoshi Ono and Galneryus. Fantastic. Plus Nen introduction incoming. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I like this show because it's easy to watch and the pacing is excellent for a shounen battle anime. This episode lived up to my expectations for it. Gon and Killua dominated but now they are going to training. I hope the training won't take a billion episodes and that they will continue the tower fights in the mean time. |
 |
| The new episode was great! Everything seems much fresher and fast past than before! Killua seems abit too happy for my taste but this is the start of them becoming much, much stronger! ^^ |
