To go back to your example, if a self loathing type works for what the director is going for, I don't see any problems with it. And as far as I remember, Kurapika's characterization worked well in enough for the series back then (although I wouldn't call him self loathing myself). As for this adaption, it's still too early to tell for sure, but so far I think Kurapika's okay.

Echoing what many people are thinking, thanks for putting out a comparison between the old/new.
Regarding Kura fight against Uvo, I did not mind the Nippo adaption, where Uvo punch did not send Kura a farther distance. Uvo punch looks like it was coming down, instead of rising up at Kura, plus it shows how strong Kura is. The other scene, where Kura was crying after burying Uvo, I find it nice, because it shows emotion in Kura and I liked him, for that trait. It might not be 100% faithful to the manga, but the those points, still lead to the same path. Now, I'm just nit picking, but for Kura to be a she, it has nothing to do with having a more delicate heart or whatever. It's just Kura character to be strong type of person on the outside, but a softy in the inside. fyi, I also liked the Nippo adaptation, where Kura had those were bug out illusions AND the one red eye + normal~

but now i think madhouse is doing an amazing job with this anime, i think the fight here was actually better than the original (though original has a handicap of being a decade old and stuff....) but yea, like i said, this episode was awesome

Re: "You have no idea what an adaptation is, do you?"
I think that's a pretty degrading way to dismiss people's opinions. Apparently people can't dislike an anime for diverging from the source material they like so much, and butchering the characters they've come to love? That's just silly. Chain Jail is his overpowered hax move, so I'm not too sure about that. Without it he'd just have the dowsing chain to attack with. |

He would still be able to use every Nen category at 100% though, which is already a pretty hax ability. We don't realize all he could do with that kinda power because right now he channels everything into his chain, but there's nothing preventing him from using other attacks or materializing other things, for instance.

He had no background changes. Point is, the reason for the remake was spelled out when it was first announced and not for the reason you keep spouting. |

While I don't really hate the 1999 version, fact is they did characterize Kurapica very differently. He went from a man of vengeance, to a "man" who gets screwed over by his vengeance. Gon was also changed, although some of the changes were reversed a bit by the time of the OVAs. Quote:

If anything, Emperor Time's real advantage is that it can very effectively take an opponent by surprise since it defies the fundamentals and rules of Nen. Well, that and an amazing versatility, but Kurapika needs more than just that against the Ryodan. Which is where Chain Jail came into play.

Doesn't make them right in the slightest however

Most of these comparisons are made by bias fans of the 2011 anime, notice his overuse of the word pathetic and him citing that MUSIC DOES NOT MATTER and then he inserts his opinion on matters when the 2011 anime decides to omit scenes that were covered in both the 1999 anime and the 2011 anime. I've long since stop taking them seriously. |

still 1999 vs 2011 huh,this is getting boring.
how many times do i have to say that you will enjoy if you dont try to compare them with eachother. I agree with the poster a page back,should make a thread 1999 vs 2011 and keep this one for ongoing hxh anime discussion |

However, it doesn't mean that authors are happy with the changes. In some cases they don't really have any right to object. Or deal with changes or forget about anime altogether.

there are several instances that seem the producers of the old anime want us to think that, there is this one occasion where leorio is sharing a room with kurapika, and when leorio gets out of the bath naked kurapica proceeds to beat leorio, at wich leorio wonder what he did wrong, this is the most cliché event in any anime with a crossdressing woman, there is this other scene where kurapica is slips in a couch, where he ends in a position with his legs opened in front of the others, and he proceeds to close his legs in a manner like he was just using a skirt, and there are just a couple i can remeber.
