I noticed! What I like about the new animation style is that it matches Togashi's. Togashi intentionally disarms the reader with his "cutesy" style. He'll occasionally throw in disturbingly graphic depictions of violence and shift into extremely realistic drawings of characters; it serves to show the gravity of the situation (and the brutality surrounding the lives of Hunters--especially considering that Gon is an eleven-year-old competing against adults for this profession).

There's plenty of time to develop relationships, background, the world, etc. I'm eager for the series to get to the meatier stuff and see if Madhouse puts its mark on it like the original series did so well.

I agree. Although many fans look back fondly upon the series, a significant portion of the first set of episodes are weak in some aspect.

Go to 3:28. It's nearly just as high in pitch. But the new actress' voice is actually better at acting.
