Really awesome episode this week, it was worth the wait.
I just loved the way gon and killua quickly decided that they didn't care about reaching the top anymore. Also, what really struck me was the excellent use of music during this episode. It made the whole first half really easy to be drawn in to. Though this came way before beyblade, just an FYI |

Aww, they changed the nen sound. Darn, I was hoping they'd leave that intact. Colors seem to have changed too, they seem to be linked to intent now rather than the person, but that's speculation department for now. Not sure how I feel about that yet, but as usual my nitpicks seem to be the audio department..
Plotwise this episode was good and in some areas an improvement. Explanations were handled well, characters were introduced and unlike what I remember from the the 1999 series the implication that the bastard trio was injured by the baptism is much more clearly defined here. |

I think that the aura colors have already been revealed; Gon's will be green, Killua's will be purple, Kurapika's red, and Leorio's yellow. Quote:

*watches* ... Pink haired Machi? Surprising change, but I'm not complaining. Oh yeah, now I remember. Kudos to the 2011 version for improving that. |

I'm really excited to watch the next episode for a lot of reasons. However, I first want to remind new viewers of a scene in which they may have forgotten. Episode 16 of the Madhouse version.
During the Fourth Phase of the Hunter Exam, Gon acquires Hisoka's badge and is immediately defeated by Geretta after. There was an interesting filler scene in the space between Geretta's departure and Hisoka's arrival. The boy has a butterfly waft over to his closed fist, bandaged and bloodied. The butterfly floats away and soon becomes entangled within a spider's web. Helpless, it struggles until its demise. Gon watches this entire scene and winces in frustration. And then after Hisoka knocks the boy out, he's entirely defeated without the ability to change this incredibly frustrating situation (which leads him to cry for the very first time in the series). Next. The ending scene, following Gon's confrontation with Hisoka. Night. Gon lies within the hollow of a tree, awake with an expression of anger in his eyes. Again, a butterfly wafts over to Gon's closed fist. But this time, the scene zooms in even closer to the boy's expression so that the viewer is given a better look. Gon isn't just angered--he's furious. However, the viewer isn't given access to his thoughts. Consider these moments. |

This show is just too damn easy to love, interesting and subtle without being too much work to watch and analyze. It’s just fun, in the same way Rurouni Kenshin and Hikaru no Go and FMA are fun – they’re all dark and serious and times and smart all the time, and some of the best-written series manga and anime has to offer – but the experience of reading or watching them is exuberant and they invite you inside their worlds like few series can. That, for me, is the most fundamental and elemental and instinctive experience as a fan of the medium – that’s what truly great shounen can do like no other genre can.
