I'm really enjoying this arc so far. Of course, I sincerely hope it doesn't take Gon and company another 30 episodes to reach Killua's house; or, Killua to reach them. That being said, the series has been paced well. Compared to other shonen series, training arcs and fights can be dragged on for episodes and episodes. In this show, however, it took Gon, Leorio and Kurapica one episode to train at that house, and the fights have been quick as well.

Well, Killua's dad sure isn't as nice as he looked at first. However, I think Gon will prove him wrong.

I wish my mum was a cyclops...

It seems Karuto resents Kil for stabbing his brother and mother before leaving.
Also, Kil seemed really uncomfortable opening up to his father at first, which was a side of Killua I wasn't expecting.

Kil's mom is so great. All the static and screams and delight at his fierce stare.

Silvia (?) is fishy -- to this day I still suspect the blood promise to be more than it seems. That subtly violent demeanor.

But Killua being all excited child about how cool Gon is... cute.

They're really dragging the Zoldyck arc tho. .__.

I really enjoyed this episode. It was interesting seeing the Zoldyk family dynamic; the mother being enraptured by Killua's death glare was a funny moment. And Killua and Silva's heart-to-heart was sweet.

I know his father only want Killua to be an even stronger assassin.
But he's really nice for letting Killua go!

I thought Gon and the others need to defeat the Zoldyck family or something to brink Killua back but, well. At least the arc will end sooner!

Killua’s mother looks robotic, I wonder how she ended that way, I haven’t seen exaggerated technology in this anime. Killua’s family and lifestyle is hilarious. Silva seemed like a really nice guy, but I’m not sure of how honest his decision is. I think Killua and Gon are gonna encounter in the way.

I assume an exam would be only one comes out on top but the fact killua got disqualifed and everyone passed was an un expected content but very good and the show dynamic of the character in the group was amazing foundation for each of the four main characters so by far Kurapika sits at the top and damn I gay panick on Don/Killua friendship at the same time disturbed by Hisoka sense of thrill god damn !!

The sound effects in this version are hilariously bad. Conceptually it isn't a bad idea to have Killua's mom make some robotic noises given her design but having it be a fucking drill sound is so stupid. The rubber balloon sound effect has been a big pet peeve of mine in this series too. The only times I ever give a series' sound effects this much specific thought is the incredible sound work that David Production typically does (like in Enen Shoboutai).

I think Silva is much less imposing in this version. The lack of depth to the colour makes his atmosphere seem so much more ordinary. His look in the 2011 version is so imposing with the deep purples and ghostly lighting in his room. And the manga version he has such sharp eyes and features that aren't conveyed well in this adaptation.
