I don't know man there is some pretty edgy stuff in that arc. Without spoilers or taking the time to point out specifics, I'll just say that the amount of corpses alone and the rather nonchalant way they are presented makes this tough to imagine in a kids timeslot.

People dying isn't really a new thing to kids anime (They blew up a cargo robot! And the cargo was people!), so I have no idea what the problem is.
If they die in a bit of a graphic way, there's plenty of techniques to tone it down without losing the story value. |

Well, whether or not it's possible they'd have to change a lot more than they ever have before. For example, even in Yorknew all the random victims of the spiders were mafia thugs, which makes it harder to sympathize with them even as we realize how brutal the Troupe is. And even as recently as a few episodes ago they removed all mention of the cannibalistic tendencies of a certain serial killer (who was presented sympathetically himself!). The Chimera Ant arc takes this several steps further by... [rest omitted for spoiler reasons].
I can see how they might do it, but I'm not sure it'd really have the same impact. |

It's not just that people die graphically because you're right Madhouse will censor it akin to YorkNew* but the way the arc presents itself. Without spoilers, it's painfully blunt and you see some pretty horrible things that would violate human rights laws that'll happen in real screen time(not exaggerating either). In other shows when characters talk about how bad the world used to be and it's better; in HxH they're in that crappy world *Which I have to add I thought they censored pretty darn well for a Sunday morning slot. YorkNew's overall aesthetic and tone was intact if not enhanced by Madhouse **Edit Last edited by HybridBloodsZak; 2013-02-20 at 17:19. |

Maybe I am in the minority here, but I think Greed Island is one of the worse arcs in this series.
Maybe it is because I ABSOLUTELY despise training arcs, which is what made whole arc take a step back in quality imo. I highly prefer Phantom Troupe arc than Greed Island. |

Up to this point the series has been about killua and gon training and growing, i think the problem its theat GI feels much more generic, the plot lacks focus, and the progresive exposition about about the game world and system dont help us relate with it.

Hisoka has officially been assigned "PedoClown" status after this week....
In Heaven's Arena you could argue he was getting turned on by Gon's strength not him but this week he got a full on boner in the bath and then SCHWING'd with his aura staring at Gon and Killua's asses |

Sashibuni...*releases Nen, gets hard*
Well, this episode was quite enjoyable (^,^)! Hisoka is just so awesome here, as usual. I can't believe he used Gyo on Killua's and Gon's ass. I don't even WANT to know what he was thinking. It was indeed interesting to see how perceptive Biske is, knowing Hisoka is hiding something. Seeing two deceptive chars...kinda...deceive...each other just puts a huge grin on my face =03. The whole City of Love part wasn't in the old OVAs(I dunno if it was in the manga though), so, being an old TV/OVA viewer and manga reader, it was great to see something new =03. Lol'd at Gon trying to save the girl. That is SO like him. The girl with the swirly glasses was super cute too. Killua's analysis of what Hisoka was hiding was superb by realizing all of that in such a short amount of time with only Biske's intuition and based on what little info Hisoka has given him.
