No, the anime's gruesome enough. Besides, don't forget this show airs on prime-time, and it'd be retarded if it gets canceled or something because they went too far for that timeslot. They're doing a terrific job at making things brutal while keeping it inside the timeslot's constrains.

I am now convinced that Ponzu's death is the most horrific and disturbing event i have seen in all my years of anime watching. It is even worse than elfen lain in my opinion; for some reason the emotional impact is bigger.

^ Good for you. That means you haven’t experienced some of the most horrific and disturbing events anime and manga has to offer. As for me, I can easily mention a handful of events worse than Ponzu’s death from many other manga & anime (still, I’m not here to compare one gruesome event to another).
Anyway, from the episodes I watch so far, they seem like foreshadowing that our friend Kite will run into deep trouble. His advice to Gon & Killua to “leave me when things go south” kinda prophesied something bad if we look at the nature of this arc .

I found what happened to Kurt and Reina mor disturbing than what happened to Ponzu, frankly, disturbing as that was. At least she was shot dead before the worst of it came down. I actually think Pokkle got the worst end of the deal.
Any way you slice it Togashi is a genius at creating genuine horror, and this arc is already one of the most brutal I've seen in anime - and as always with Togashi, it's the psychological element that's the worst.

There are just few good ways to look at this situation. Certainly Ponzu could seen as having it easier than most. At least she was dead before she likely even knew what happened. Though still completely willing to say it was more tragic because she was cute and had a nice voice.
It's a terrible situation all in all. Giant bugs killing and eating people, it's just...not good. Quote:
