So like... I'd like to know what's new on this "Remake"... I read the manga and watched the old anime, but can't remember the differences anymore lol

Better animation, stricter adaptation of the manga material without straying, and a whole lot more of HxH fans.

Now for my own question: Anyone knows who was/were the episode director(s) in 22 and 23? Both episodes were very very good from all aspect of overall animation which resulted in a very smooth pacing of the story-line covered.

I just love how nonchalant Hisoka was at the end of this episode. Such a boss.

I think the implication is that "new volumes" are to get people excited for new chapters, which should come soon since the movie's probably done.

Damn, Hisoka is a cold son-of-a-bitch. What a boss. But Chrollo is ice, too. What a couple of badass mofos they are.

[ookamigirl]

It was nice seeing those 4 together again.
Kurapika sure is risking a lot for his revenge.
The others didn't agree with his method much.
That fortune telling by Phantom Troupe's boss was interesting.

[Dengar]

Today's episode probably removes any questions regarding why Chrollo took steps to make sure Neon didn't die.

You've seen the glory that is Danchou vs Hisoka. Congratulations.

[SHINOBI-03]

Here's a rundown for the prophecies that we got so far:

Spoiler for Chrollo:

The calendar loses a precious component
The remaining months gather to mourn
The mourners play a melody, while the eleventh moon quietly rises
The chrysanthemum withers and falls, to lie on the ground beside bloody scarlet eyes
But you will remain supreme
Even after losing half of your limbs
Enjoy the interlude
Search out new allies
East is the direction to go
You will find one who awaits you

Spoiler for Nobunaga:

The calendar loses a precious component
The remaining months gather to mourn
The first moon, having missed his opportunity, continues to pursue the eleventh moon alone
The chrysanthemum withers and falls, to lie on the ground beside bloody scarlet eyes
But the spider does not stop
Even after losing half its limbs

Spoiler for Shizuku:

The calendar loses a precious component
The remaining months gather to mourn
You join your ally as an offering, to keep him from being lonely
You will find eternal rest in a room filled with black merchandise
Beware solitude above all
You have the most to fear when you are alone with another

Spoiler for Hisoka (1st):

A red-eyed costumer will visit your shop, half angel, half death-bringer
You would do well to sell the calender's secrets
He will be especially pleased to learn the eleventh moon's secret
The customer will return on a hot day, leaving you alone with a man bearing St. Peter's cross
The false fourth moon will be torn away from the calander
Only six pages remain

Spoiler for Hisoka (2nd):

A red-eyed costumer will visit your shop, seeking to make a trade
The customer will use the sword of law upon you, taking the calender's secrets with him
The eleven-legged spider grows homesick, losing five more legs
Do not leave your temporary shelter, for you are one of the remaining legs

[Archon_Wing]

Oh Hisoka, changing his fate as he pleases.

The universe just bends around him.

[Sheba]

Just remember his nen ability. As far as I remember, he only told Machi about it, back in the tourney arc. I don't think Machi have seized the VAST possibilities of it, especially in the hands of someone as imaginative as Hisoka.

[Clarste]

Or maybe wouldn't suspect that he'd alter it in a way that still incriminates him.

[Hamster]

Nah, I'll stick with Hisoka having universe warping powers.

I don't think she knows how much he can do with it either. She probably thinks he can do textures, but not actually write with it.

That's the bit I didn't quite get but I'm guessing Hisoka's reason for doing it will be delicious to watch

[Dengar]

This is why Hisoka is one of the scariest characters despite the fact that his abilities are amongst the most basic for his class.

And yes, the fact that it still incriminates him is the reason why no one will notice the changes.


By the way, just a random question: Is it ok to talk about Chrollo's ability now? I don't think the story itself will focus any more on it.

[yellowscarves]

"Red-eyed customer" doesn't have to mean the customer literally had scarlet eyes (i.e. Kurapika), and reading the "sword of law" immediately reminds me of Nobunaga. Is Hisoka trying to incriminate Nobunaga as well?

[Dengar]

Red-eyed customer is clearly a metaphor for Kurapica though. Especially since being a customer at Hisoka's shop is an obvious metaphor for the two being in cahoots.

[Guardian Enzo]

Indeed, I could hardly think of a more apt - and poetical - description for Kurapika than "half-angel, half-shinigami".

[vansonbee]

Any hint of romance between Machi & Hisoka or she just another play thing, he likes to tease (like Gon)?
