Ep 4
I really have a problem with the BGM. Can they use 1999s? I'll keep hearing it in my head. I actually forgot how old Leorio is? loved the scene when they were all shocked. And yes Killua is really just a kid, he spent a huge forutne on candy you know.

Lol @ Oda trying to spread his "halfway" BS to Togashi.
Still, I like Hunter x Hunter and all, but I wouldn't want it go all the way to 6 more arcs. Considering the nigh inevitable possibility of Togashi falling back on his Hiatus x Hiatus routine, I'd probably only to get to see the end of the story in my 50ies. And as long as one of those 3 or 4 guaranteed arcs after the Chimera Ant one covers the final showdown with the Genei Ryodan, I'll be satisfied. They're the main reason I've stuck with the series this long and through all the hiatuses tbqh. |

Do I really need to say it? Oda has been saying One Piece is at "about halfway" for years and years now, as far as back as the end of Enies Lobby IIRC. It's a marginally clever way of making his fans think he's got the plot outline tightly planned, when clearly he doesn't and will continue writing as many new stories he wants to, assuming the series remains as profitable as it's become (see the current OP manga arc and its endless stalling).
Thankfully Togashi seems to give HxH fans a little more credit than to buy into that. |

Eh, all of those comments you're on about were just rumours. Fans have been making them up for years now, it's just like all the nonsense straw hat member rumours. The only "about halfway" information we've seen officially announced is from a few interviews (the one posted above being one of them), and they were all quite recent.

It doesn't change the fact that One Piece is stalling to the extreme and it's repeating the same thing again and again. I really liked One Piece until it became another fighting shounen manga.
Anyway, so far new anime is good but I can't help and compare it to the old one. And unfortunately in comparison with 1999 series, it's poorly directed. Sure, it's more condensed and more faithful to manga material but all in all the flow of the story isn't as smooth as in the old one. Place where action happens changes abruptly, characters befriend others instantly without delivering proper background, etc. Also, they explain here obvious things and treat viewers like idiots (or 5 year old kids), more so than in the old version. For example in the old anime it sufficed that Kurapica looked at the tatoo, in the new version he said it out loud revealing that he knows she lied and letting her prepare. Or Leorio *accidently* heard that the bus driver won't get him where he wants at the exact moment he wanted to get in. In the old version he wasn't so lucky. There are other examples but these are from the top of my head. /IMO (which should be obvious) |

And the bus thing was sort of stupid in the 1999 series; it just drove around in circles in Dolle Harbor. There's no way that anyone wouldn't have figured it out. But in the new series, the buses were taking candidates to an entirely different city or pretending to break down en route. Leorio doesn't hear the bus driver telling him this, but he coincidentally hears two veteran Hunter candidates talking about it. |

1.Read the post above. 2.You see in the anime what you wanna see,i guess you're too loyal to the first one,I'm enjoying this one as well. 3.One Piece is as you mentioned a fighting shounen manga,and that is the reason they have to fight again and again for us to see them advance and not magically become super saiyans,take on the 4 emperors and say goodbye. |

I'm not confused and you clearly don't know what you're talking about. Episode 5 of the old anime, 11 minute, we only see Kurapica holding her hand and zoom on a hand covered with tatoos. In the new anime in 2nd episode, 16th minute we have zooming and Kurapica saying "those tatoos, you're..." giving away his thoughts and letting potential enemy to prepare. It's a clear example of hand-holding. The same goes for the bus.

And less than two minutes after he asks "Who are you really?" in the 1999 show, she spells it out for the audience. "Yes, it's true! I'm a magical beast. But how did you find it out?" Followed by exposition, etc. As far as the bus goes, it just circles around the city in Nippon Animation's version; anyone would figure it out. The bus in both Madhouse's adaptation and the manga was taking contenders to a completely different city. It's apples and oranges. I'm not going to argue with you about your personal preference. But if Leorio had gotten onto the bus in episode 2, he wouldn't have made it to the Hunter Exam. Different scenarios. |
