Yeah they show Jones still beating heart and Killua smashing it. It's wrapped in a shirt in the newer one and Killua just puts it in Jones' hand.

Agreed, the auction arc is probably my favorite storyline in HxH
Friends don't let friends watch dubbed anime.
i liked the ant arc much better the 2nd time reading it. the long ass breaks in between chapters didn't help much.
So true, the first time was akin to torture due to the constant breaks. Reading it all in one go was so much better.
The invasion especially was great in one go. The first time reading I didn't even pay attention to the timer, the second time I really enjoyed following it around.

HxH Movie Trailer 2
Second trailer for the movie was posted, seems pretty interesting though I hope Gon and Killua have a role in it, even though it seems like I guess it will be a Kurapika fest, oh well should be a blast.

Gon and Killua have a huge role in it.
They invaded the Spider's nest lol

I'm interested in seeing more about the Spiders' backgrounds. Don't really care about Kurapica lol.

It's a brighter/lighter adaptation, then turns even more gruesome.
Was the music always this good? I really enjoyed it in the latest episode.
I wouldn't recommend it over the original for the first 40 or so episodes but it got pretty good after that.

Yes since the music at the start basically played at the end of last episode, and that awesome drum track or whatever is always around. I wish I had the ost, all songs work great for the atmosphere and the way the ending theme cuts in.

They screwed up a bit in the beginning with censorship and stuff, and then it surpasses the original IMO. I think it's worth a watch for fans of the original.

I think Episode 47 deserves to be seen, a really great starting point for finally getting the main characters involved with the phantom troupe. Though Im not one for
so I guess thats why but the match up just didnt have many wow moments. Like my favorite part was just when Kurapika was in the air in front of the moon, which was red and looked cool, as well as just the
. Oh well, he'll still, at this point in time be my third favorite of the main crew. I still think Killua is stronger, if they are going against non spider members.
End eps spoils:
one sided matches that end in deaths, ruthless even
End eps spoils:
Black and white part was nice style, but why so bloody
This thread hasn't active in a while, but man, I'm really enjoying this much more than any other Shounen anime currently. I was reading the manga but stopped at this arc and have just been watching it week to week. Gon and Killua that close to the Phantom Troupe was hella tense.

Going back to the first version of Departure! I hope that means that next week will be a different song, though I kind of like Departure, especially the Uvo image when the song says "You can smile".
This episode was quite amazing especially off of last weeks, Gon and Killua always have such a gripping moment, and this time like last I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Both Gon statements to Killua
were really awesome and touching. Love their bond and friendship so much and I hope we get way more time with them.
50 episodes in and I think I enjoy this way more than most of the other long running series were at for 50 episodes. Going back I think Ive only had really minor complaints that arent really important in the grand scheme of the series. After experiencing some of YYH (up to volume 5) and now HxH, this writer for this series is really talented and consistently delivers much of what I want. Id definitely put him in my top three writers for manga, and is possibly starting to rival and dethrone Fairy Tail as my favorite longish shounen series.

Was that on purpose or were you really lucky? Because that's a great place to make the switch, you skipped all the iffy episodes and it's pretty good now.
That moment where Nobunaga looked at the window after talking to Phinx on the phone, that was tense as hell.

I know this hasn't been very active but holy shit at the latest episode.
-It was fantastic and the scene with the laughing hitman whose body had been partially eaten was a genuinely creepy and unsettling scene.
-I also really liked the music that accompanied the montage of the troupe members wreaking havoc.
-It was neat that the music at the end, continued all the way through the credits rather than switching over to the typical ending theme.
I can't wait to see how the remake handles the rest of this arc.

They're doing better. They're slowly helping me take back my complaints in comparison to the original TV series.

Yes that was odd. I actually thought they weren't even going to do a hunterpedia segment for the latest episode.
I think I still prefer the original over the remake, but they've still been doing a good job with the auction arc.

ep 51
Sure there was no Gon or Killua but it was still a good episode. The ending moments were so worth it and the identity of the two dudes unveiled was actually pretty exciting.
.
Chrollo is such a good antagonist, best looks, and just that personality.

Based on what weve seen of Killua, I cant even imagine the type of skill level and power that the Silva and Zeno Goldicks may even possess. Hopefully Feitan and Shalnark arent their targets, I dont want to see either die. and speaking of Feitan, I hope he gets a good fight, easily the best Phantom Troupe member. Shalnark is alright too but I cant see how he'd fight with that ability in a one on one (also is he a Hunter?)
Chrollo is such a good antagonist, best looks, and just that personality.
Im assuming he wont die, based on that prophecy? I dont think the Phantom Troupe would disband or he can die because then that leaves Kurapika with a useless power the rest of the series...So I guess he has some ability that will make him resilient against Kurapika's epic god tier abilities

Does anyone knows if this series will cover the ant arc?
Seeing how crazy this arc is getting I don't see what would hold them back. It is a shame the manga is still on hiatus.

I was under the impression theyd make it a full adaptation, It seems both popular and faithful I assume so they have no reason not to cover to whereever the last manga arc concluded, I guess.

Wait, is my memory failing on the old adaptation or did they never actually show what all of the Troupe members were doing as things went down within this episode's frame?
One of the people working on it said Togashi wanted to turn this into a full time kinda thing so I'd be surprised (and mildly disappointed) if it doesn't.

Then he better get off his ass. The longer he stays on hiatus, the closer the anime gets to the current manga arc. Would be a shame for it to have the same fate as the original anime for the exact same reason.
Season 2 brought to you by Studio DEEN.
Since it is going to take Togashi 5+ years to complete the arc he started in his last hiatus.
King of Hiatus and all
But I agree that the anime would cover up to the point of the lastest chapter in the manga. It has been 7 years since the last OVA to the start of the new anime. They might do OVAs again if they catch up to him.
Most likely.
I realize this. I mean, they could start the anime again in 10 years! xD
Episode 51 was good, but it's too bad
Episode 52 is going to be even better. I can't wait until next week.
Oh, and Shalnark is my favorite Phantom Troupe member. (as you can tell from my avatar) I like his positive and charismatic attitude.
there wasn't very much fighting, besides that twisted scene at the end of Chrollo picking apart one of the assassins with his man-eating Nen fish.

You don't let a property stay dormant for that long. People will lose interest and there will be little fanfare when it comes back. That's one of the reasons there hasn't been another OVA or series since G.I. Final, and that's why they're rebooting it now.
As for Shippuden, well it started directly after the original series ended. Yeah, I know you're going to point at the 2 years of filler, but it was still consistently on air.
Lately, the new adaptation has been a bit slower and more detailed. It started out much more fast-paced, but now they're taking their time with this arc. I don't mind 'cause it's the best arc in the series
But I feel like episode 51 (new adaptation) wasn't as dramatic as episode 61 (old adaptation). I think it's mainly because alot of sound effects are missing, such as

the screams of the mafia forces.
I don't know, the ant arc is more bleak/gruesome than this arc
would they really animate children getting killed or people being eaten? How would they tone that down? There was a particularly gruesome part where one of the new hunter from the exam gets captured, then with his scalp off gets brain needle probe by one of the royal guard, and finally butchered like meat for the queen.

He and Feitan are my favorite, Feitan reminds me of Hiei in yyh for some reason. I liked the Shalnark with Uvo scene a few episodes ago before he left for Kurapika.
Oh definitely! That was a heartfelt scene and you got the sense that Shalnark and Uvogin had a close friendship.
Finally caught up. I watched the original many years ago and it's strange how I don't remember a thing about the series, apart from recognizing the main characters (+ 1 or 2 more). I even went back to the old series just to see if it really had the same events going down (and most of the time it did, of course).
But judging from the responses in this thread, I guess it's for the best that the new version of HxH is basically like a new series for me. Anyway, I find it very enjoyable, they always manage to hook me enough with something in every episode to keep me going.
