Dio Brando 5,810 Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) (Possible Spoilers below) I've just finished watching episode 117 of HunterXHunter(the new version,not the old one) Things seemed to be improving once the narrator learned to slowdown a little and Gon finally found Peto(or Beto) The episode was going slowly with some pointless inner monologue with Nackle(or Knuckle if you're a Sonic fan lol) I was watching normally and said ok ok that's fine and dandy let's move over to the next episode...................... Then the narrator had to open his mouth again and revealed something that pissed me off so much This whole operation....the whole operation of infiltrating the Chimera Ant's king's palace that spanned almost 7+ episode......all of it took place in just 3 minutes.........that's right....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall this shit that's been happening and lasted for what feels like an eternity.........only took three minutes................. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMaNWRxyZwg YOU GOTTA BE SHITTING ME??!!!! This DBZ and the Namek Saga all over again,this is exactly like how Frieza said it'll only take 5 minutes for Namek to explode and then it takes over 10 episodes for it to happen(original DBZ not Kai) You expect me to believe that they not only managed sneak to the castle,infiltrate the castle,letting Netero do a meteor attack while battling Peto,make Yobi go badshit insane,have Shot(or Shoto...whatever)battling him for what seems like almost an hour of fighting,reach the king and take him away,reach Peto who's been healing Komogi at this point,have Yobi f***king explode.....IN JUST THREE MINUTES!!!!!!ALL 6 OR 7+ EPISODES JUST OCCURED IN 3 MINUTES!!!!I'm sorry but I'm not buying that crap. Look,I'm still a fan of HunterXHunter ever since the original version and I've been watching every episode of the new version that started in 2011 and still airing to this day The Chimera Ants arc,regardless of the good moments it might had,had really REALLY overstayed it's welcome,it;s almost as long as the Hunting exam arc if not much longer I want to believe that this arc has some sort of canonical value to it,but with every episode I watch it seems more like a filler to me,heck even the Generiodens(or the Spiders,I dunno how to pronounce their actual name) just made a brief cameo to beat the shit outta some Chimera Ants and they never appeared again,heck Hisuka isn't there.Not even Kurabika or Leoreo are even aware of the whole disaster that the Chimera Ants are causing,it's just Gon,Kilua,an almost dead Kite,and a couple of Hunters from the Hunter Union fighting a bunch of dudes that we don't even know what's their significance in the overall canon of the series. This episode was the last straw for me,I'll wait until this stupid Chimera Ants arc is over THEN I'm gonna resume watching HunterXHunter when something actually interesting that's actually CANON.....happen Edited February 26, 2014 by DragonMaster edited to reflect merging of threads Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't get me wrong buddy the show is amazing. it's just this Chimera Ants arc has dragged for so long and those last 7 episodes from 110 to 117 were some of the worst episodes I watched in Hunter X Hunter 2011 I just can't stand the Chimera Ants arc anymore,gimme back my great story arcs of before Edited February 21, 2014 by Metal Snake Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dio Brando 5,810 Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) what is this show? I've never heard of it. Well,it's an anime called Hunter X Hunter What's currently airing is the second version of the show that continues alongside the manga Anyway,it's pretty good stuff,give it a try. Also,a question:Have you watched an anime before?If so,what's your favorite? Sorry I had to ask because your question is kinda hinting at that this is your first time hearing the word anime Edited February 21, 2014 by Metal Snake Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Chimera Arc is a lot longer than the other arcs. I think they might of done that on purpose because they're gonna be releasing a movie soon in which the battle for the next Hunter x Hunter Chairman begins.

So they're dragging the Chimera arc just so it can be in line with the canon of the upcoming movie??? Man this arc is boring Neither Korabika nor Leoreo have bothered to even look at what's going on or even notice the havoc the Chimera ants are causing Hell even the Black Spiders(black widows....whatever) made short cameo episodes to kill a couple of Chimera ants that were violating their old home....and then poof they didn't appear.....For the love of God Hisuka isn't even there 1 Noobles reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I kinda miss Korabika and Leoreo. I watched Hunter x Hunter because I enjoyed a 4 sum that was together in a way. But now it's just Killua and Gon. I haven't nothing wrong with the two but I kinda miss the 4 of them I guess the Auction Arc (forgot the name) was alright since they finally met up. But I see what you mean. A lot of old characters aren't there. 1 Dio Brando reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ColdSoulEater 31 Posted February 24, 2014 So with the Anime game J-stars victory VS just around the corner I decided to watch a few of the series that some of the games characters are from and I started with Hunter x Hunter. I've known about it for quite some time now but never got around to watching it til today. Lets just say I am not disappointed. Even though I'm only on episode 7 I am liking the way the series is going so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ColdSoulEater 31 Posted February 24, 2014 I'm not really good at explaining things. I'm more of a "view it for yourself and you'll understand" type of person haha. But I guess I could say that I'm liking the character interactions up to this point and the story seems to be an interesting one for sure. I'll just keep watching and see how well this story can take off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ColdSoulEater 31 Posted February 24, 2014 So, is it about two hunters dating each other? I've always wondered Haha. Nope not at all. But I can see how you'd get that hence the title of the series. Even I find the title to be a bit strange lol. 1 Ruby Rose reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Master Keeper 687 Posted March 5, 2014 Hi people, I will start watching Hunter X Hunter both the old and the new one.Do you guys suggest that I watch the classic and then the new one or do u suggest watching both together in every episode?And I will not watch the new one only if someone suggested that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruby Rose 8,591 Posted March 5, 2014 If it's like FMA, you wanna watch the original then the new one- original FMA gives the same amount of story in the first 25 episodes that Brotherhood covers in the first 10 Also if it was remade, that means the original must've left something to be desired- so watch the old one first, then the hopefully new and improved version second Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dio Brando 5,810 Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) The recent Hunter X Hunter episodes were awesome but... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GON STOP BEING USELESS AND DOOOOO SOMETHIIIING!!! Holy shit he's the only one during the entire infiltration mission that's done jackshit to help anyone in their battles Heck he had 0 character development during this operation compared to other characters like Ikalgo,heck even Wolfen got some decent character development Knuckle and Morel did a great job fighting Yobi,and Yobi himself got some character development as well. Legtimately Gon pissed me off so much through this entire operation,all of what he did is find Peto,moan and whine like a little bitch about Kite,being a total asshole to Kilua and told him "You just don't care,that stuff is normal for you" and lastly he never gave a single f*** about the injured Komogi who by the way IS CLEARLY AN INNOCENT HUMAN! Look I get that what happened to Kite was horrible and brutal,but that doesn't mean you become a total dick towards your best friend That line Gon said to Kilua pisses me off so much,if Kilua doesn't care,then why did he decide not only to ditch his family of long lineage of assassins,but risk his life many times just to save your sorry ass and stick with you to the end and be your best friend you asshole? That training Gon had with Knuckle now gone for nothing as he didn't fight a single chimera ant on the way or even remotely help Knuckle and the brutally wounded Shoot,he just went to Peto,enters bitch mode and sat his ass down. Don't get me wrong I loved the recent episodes of Hunter X Hunter but Gon became the worst character during this operation...not worst character no no he isn't,just the worst character for the Chimera ants arc Edited April 4, 2014 by Red Tribal 1 Sendou Aichi reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. Before the episodes were dragged, Togashi did a break(he is so lazy lol), after that, his writing style has changed, a lot worse than what there is now(thanks to madhouse, they improved it a lot.)

Cyber Shaman 990 Posted August 7, 2014 If you've been watching the last 4 or 5 episodes of Hunter X Hunter(2011 version) you'll know exactly what I'm talking about The last 5 episodes were the most boring,unexciting episodes of HXH I've ever seen for one simple reason. The narrator Instead of narrating the beginning and the ending of an episode,he know narrates the entire episode right from the first minute up to the end of the episodes and it pisses me off so much when he won't stop pointing out the complete f***king obvious stuff that I'M JUST SEEING ON SCREEN like:Gon jumped,Kilua dodged an attack,the king of the mutant ants is angry,nackle stood there in shock.....etc I'm dead serious,it's like been like this for the last 5 episodes,he won't STFU!!!!!!!!!! Me and my brother(who watches anime with me) were constantly screaming at the screen every freakin minute:NO SHIT SHERLOCK I CAN CLEARLY SEE WHAT'S GOING ON!!!!! It's absolutely annoying and stupid,the narrator has been doing almost all the talking,the characters barely say anything,in fact the narrator even narrates their own thought.......this is BULLSHIT The last 5 episodes were complete and utter shit I've been making fun of Naruto Shippuden's over explanation for jutsu during battles but that doesn't even compare to this the last 2 episodes of HXH,we've the first 10 minutes was just Gon and the others running in slo-mo mode while the narrator narrates every second of it or jump to another scene. You have no idea how much the narrator pissed me off,I was pissed so much to the point I wanted to reach the screen,grab the narrator and punch him 1000 times Kenshiro style from Fist of the North Star What happened to the days when the narrator just do his job of narrating the beginning and ending of episodes instead of reading the entire damn scenario the show?? If the next episode is like this I'm gonna ditch Hunter X Hunter completely just like what I did with NarutoI thought the Narration was perfect. He was explaining what was going through everyones head, what was going on throughout the invasion. If it weren't for the narrator, you would'nt have noticed the uniqueness of the arc.

If it weren't for the narrator, you would'nt have noticed the uniqueness of the arc. the narrator during the chimera ant arc was mostly narrating the obvious most of the time and when he's narrating anything else he mostly narrates expositions and flashbacks Anyway,now that the Chimera Ant arc is over we're now back to usual Hunter X Hunter stuff and ALL HAIL LEOREO,THAT PUNCH WAS LITERALLY THE MOST SATISFYING MOMENT IN THE ENTIRE SERIES 1 Cyber Shaman reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
