hxh 1999 is definitely better then 2011 yes.

The manga sounds good. Gintama is one of those shows that are so long, but then again, I thought the same for HxH and LotGH.

Hey how ya going, it's been a long time.

I haven't finished the Yorknew arc, it's gonna be good I reckon from the reviews and ratings. I've given it a break to watch other shows, because once I get into HxH, it becomes the only thing I end up truly watching.

Rurouni Kenshin's first episode was quite good. I particularly enjoyed the first scene where bandits attacked the slaver party, the tension, the fear, the helplessness and lawless realism of the period. Do you have any recommendations on some good samurai anime?

Apart from that, it's fair to say the scene is almost mirrored frame by frame.

On a side note, while I don't put much stock in animation and music, the 2011 version really did make the scenes far more epic compared to the 99 version, e.g. the fight between Gon and Hisoka was heart pounding.
Cloud_Illusion Nov 18, 2016 2:46 AM
Haha, I misread your comment and thought you were referring to when Hisoka gets punched by Gon. In any case it is an extension of the first event. It was interesting to see Gon's eyes flicker with hatred at Hisoka in the 99 version and the humiliating aftermath and vulnerability not witnessed in the 2011 version. In the 2011 version, Gon simply crawls under the shade of the tree and sulks. In the 99 version, he literally pisses himself while paralysed. Mito san becomes abundantly more appreciated.

It's something that never happened when Gon was getting tortured by Hanzo for three hours. Zepile even remarks that Gon was a dangerous enigma because he cares little about the morality of a person, rather he pivots towards 'indifference' because of his boundless curiosity. The same trademark that against all odds managed to strike a friendship with Killua. That is not to say that Gon is a psychopath, as shown with his friendships.

What did you think of that scene?

As to the HA arc, I found it rather similar but on closer inspection, the differences are quite remarkable. One thing that struck me was in the 99 version, Gon is overfilled with a jarring elation as he closely inspects THE fist that punched Hisoka. Hisoka alone walks towards Gon, almost with a caring stride, with a hand out, patiently waiting for the tag. A subtle but non-malicious smile is printed on Hisoka's face.

In the 2011 version is starkly different. Gon proves to Hisoka that he is a worthy foe. With eyes brimming with determination, both walk towards each other and exchange the tag. Hisoka's eyes narrow. Hisoka takes Gon seriously, what an embarrassing moment for Kastro if he were to see it.

I am really impressed with the 99 version. I recently finished the 3rd exam bonus arc. I could scarcely believe it was filler. The quality of writing, suspense, world expansion and the synthesis of what it means to become a hunter was unbelievable!

Also they added additional roles and actions of iconic characters such as Illumi, Hisoka, Geretta, Siper, Pockle and Ponzu that really added to the character development. If only the 99 version covered as much manga material as 2011 it would of made for some exceptional twists and turns for these characters.

Thanks mate, yep, I had a feeling the manga built up the relationship. I couldn't help myself and looked into it more, yeah they made a big mistake, which also weakened Gon's character development from the very beginning. But overall the show is still king imo compared to other series when they make several mistakes casually.

btw, I had a quick read of your hxh review. Nailed it mate. I was never a fan of shounen, because of the reasons you listed, but I can make HxH an exception.

Great to see someone appreciating Hunter x Hunter this much. How is Space Brothers going for you?
Ponii-chan Aug 24, 2016 6:11 AM
Haha, you're totally right :D. If someone thinks that Re:Zero is a good anime or that Subaru is a good character, then they are probably beyond any hope. I cringe every time someone compares this crap to Steins;Gate.

Thanks! There are actually quite a few of us judging by other reviews and the positive feedback that my review has been getting.
