i don't give a rat's ass about censorship, tbh. i just want something well-made and engaging.

2. yes, the 2011 series is more faithful in adapting the contents of the manga 3. but the 1999 series is better-made and more engaging and the director is much more competent than koujina |

pretty good episode, the glitter actually looks like splatter when no in slow mo, very faithfull to the manga, but it kinda made the figth slower, and the explanation of hisokas power was done very good, specially since it didnt bore me who already knew about it, other good thing is the new Bgm, its very suitable with the now more serios feel of the series.

I remember haters even trashed Gon and Mito's hand sign at the 2011 ver, when in fact it's a nice endearing reference to a detail in the manga. The 1999 fans were so vicious that they called 2011 series worthless, shouldn't be made and should just get cancelled, and if the other person is right, there're people like you and others like to claim that 1999 series is better than the original source materials. I can never understand that. 3) I don't think the 1999 ver is better made nor more engaging. Too many fillers, too moralistic and melodramatic for my taste.

anyway, it seems like you automatically lumped me with the mindless bashers simply because i said i prefer the 1999 series. look at my posting history and see if i have unfairly criticized the new series. in fact, i even had posts defending it. it's just my honest opinion that the 1999 series is easily better, so it grates me that there are people here unfairly tearing it apart and in fact are as guilty of bias as the "rabid 1999 fans" they so despised. i will continue to give my comments on recent episodes and will not stop reiterating how i find the 1999 series MUCH superior (so far). deal with it.

of course i'd hold the manga superior in terms of facts and cannonness. but there's nothing wrong with preferring the of EXECUTION of an adaptation over the original Last edited by chikkychappy; 2012-05-22 at 06:27. |

Mreh, I thought the Kurapika/Hisoka fight in the 1999 version was one of the more boring fights, the only bright point being Hisoka being about to lose it (but then, I'm a fan of the batshit insane Hisoka).
But since accusations are being slung around here, I'll make my own opinion clear: I don't hate the 2011 version. Some changes I like, some changes I don't. Yes, as someone who grew up with the 1999 version I do tend prefer things from that version but the only thing I repeatedly find myself preferring the 1999 version is the sound department. Something few people here even mention. |

This was a great episode and it's exactly what I wanted to see: the Kastro vs. Hisoka fight in its full glory.
I also liked that added bit with Killua talking to Gon at the end. It may have been filler but I thought it was a nice touch, same with Hisoka slapping his fake tattoo on the mirror as he passed it. That really helped to show how little he cares about being a part of the troupe. It's going to be a long wait until next episode... |
