I tried watching the 99 version a while ago, and the dub was pretty bad. I could only watch 7 episodes or so before I lost interest. Real shame since I loved the dub for YYH. Hopefully this series gets a good dub eventually. What are the chances of Funimation picking it up?

Happy to hear an opinion on this from someone who's watched all variants. I've only watched 2011 and read the manga. Maybe someday if i'm really bored i'll look into the 1999 show, but i don't have any desire now. I think 2011 is fantastic. I will be so heartbroken when it catches up to the manga and is forced to quit.
New ep in 35 mins!

Pfft. I wouldn't say old but not youthful. You gotta remember, it was still during an era when good dubs were rarities... though the same can still be said. I only watched it dubbed because I didn't feel like reading the show.

Oh man. Watching Killua break that ant's neck was oh so satisfying.

This episode is probably the most impressive for the arc so far. Next week is gonna be better, I just know it. I wasn't expecting them to go through with the naked men being stomped to death or those faces. And yeah, the neck snap was well -snort- executed.

1999 is pretty damn good as well I think I have watched through it 3 times which is amazing since I generally never re-watch stuff.

Is there a chance the 2011 will go on with its own story ala OG FMA?

Doubt it. If Togashi doesn't put out by the time CA is settled down, the Election Arc will have to be animated and it would end the same way the manga did. Only in a more "ending" kind of way. But it'll take awhile to get there. If push comes to shove, I expect fillers by the time Palm, Knuckle, and Shoot come around. It's the best place to do it.
There is also the time when
They can also ad filler between the point where killua his sister/brother/thing and gon meet up at the end of the election and the point where they separate again.

Well, the whole arc is fast paced because everything is going by in a rush. I don't think it would translate well.
Its not even his final form yet.
Yup, not even close to his most badass moment in this arc.

I really hate Departure now. I mean really, really hate it.
Madhouse took it to another level with the animation, sound and music production on the latest episode. Now I regret reading the manga because they're doing a spectacular job on the anime, especially this arc.
Has there ever been a long-running series that is as consistent as this in terms of high production standards?

JJBA maybe? Each episode had more fabulous than the last. Though it's not long running, yet. To be honest I can't think of anything since around episode 30+, the budget just tends to burn and someone has to cut costs.
At this rate there is about 100 episodes give or take worth of manga material, which amounts to about 2 years until the anime catches up to the manga. IF we are lucky Togashi might release about 10-20(if we are lucky) chapters of new material which isn't much, and have to wait for another reboot in 10 years, IF he doesn't end it like YuYu.
Cot damn! Madhouse are murdering this arc so far. So glad they kept Yunju's human dogs scenes as mad fucked up as they were in the manga. The fight animation was fantastic and the continuous tension building and sense of dredd is spot on (oh, poor spot) and it'll only get so much worse.
Loving it.
Loving it.
One of my favorite parts of the episode.
That human dog scene is only something Madhouse can animate. I wouldn't trust it in the hands of any other anime studio.
Yeah, that was awesome. Will be cool to see where Killua goes from here.
can't wait for that character to show up. :3Just saw EP 82,
and episode 83 and 83 would be much better

Fantastic episode, this level of performance is what Gon and Killua ought to be up to for the rest of the arc I hope.
. Was confused on Rammot

Gon with the sword attack was surprising, when did he even learn that?!
how did he get nen, did I miss that part?
You made a correct decision. Welcome aboard.
Remember the Aura Nodes thing in the Heaven's Arena arc? Gon and Killua's attacks gave him a Nen Baptism that opened his nodes.
His encounter with Gon/Killau's nen attack coaxed his latent nen abilities out.
Always found the consistency of this satisfying when I read the manga. Within the laws of the series it's the obvious thing to happen but it could easily have been forgotten.

Jesus, I nearly forgot about it too! Now that I think about it, I bet that must be the reason there are probably so many self taught nen users around. The Spiders (sans Shalnark) don't seem, like the types to seek a professional. Maybe someone powerful came to Meteor City and they got the same treatment by coincidence. I want to say Jairo, but I don't think he left NGL after founding it.
I'm blown away that they did the human dogs scene like that. Holy crap. I've been waiting for this episode ever since the arc started (because I wanted to see how they'd handle it) and they went crazy with it haha. Full confidence in Madhouse right now.
I really like how Gon's ability is handled! The scissors' first real appearance being in an actual battle (and not during training) feels so good. Also, that Rammot.
It's a bit of a shame to see the thread going back to "wink wink" again, you guys

I loved the way they handled this episode. My favorite moment definitely had to be
Anyways, judging from the preview, next week should be when shit hits the fan. So fucking hard. Right?
dat headspin, first you're all fine and then "wait why did everything suddenly turn upside down?"

Ah man, you guys have no idea, it's so fun to watch. I'm not saying anything apart from we're just getting started...
This is a tough one... I'd say about Hisoka/Illumni level, maybe a bit below them? He's not close to Netero's (Who is the strongest person we've seen thus far) level that's for sure.

Togashi made an official power ranking chart. It's old, but it still says a lot. He's stronger than Genthuru and Wing but weaker than Chrollo and Hisoka.
Yeah, I'd say about Hisoka level as well. I might even put him a bit above Hisoka, but that's just a hunch. It's really hard to properly compare power levels in HxH though. All you can say for sure is that he's really strong.

Kite's actually pretty weak but still strong. As I said, Togashi made an official power ranking so you know how strong someone is, it's the outcome of a battle that's hard to measure. The chart spoils for those who don't know certain Ants so I wont post it, and I'm not sure how to spoil images. Anyway, here's where Kite stands from a segment of it with certain names omitted.

no way was he at hisoka's level.
