The Hunter X Hunter Thread (New anime series has begun!)

Kaito’s ability.

Dead. :frowning:

That’s something about HxH that I love and hate. They kill off any seemingly cool minor characters. It forces me to not get attached so easily. For example I was really starting to like that bow and arrow guy. I think his name was Pokku or Pontu or something. There’s a P somewhere in his name. Anyway I liked his ability and thought he’d make some noise, but he was GG’d not too long after his reintroduction.

Chinese raw

A few old volumes

Awesome chapter, nothing happens, I want my volume 24 scan!

FINALLY ! I thought the writer was dead and that nexGear joke chapter didn’t help.

I remember a few years ago there was a hunter x hunter anime, just wondering if it is any good or not. Do you guys recommend it?

Translated 261

So, ten weeks of chapters. Meaning Togashi did one chapter ever two months during his break. Anyway, when do you think this is gonna stop? Ten chapters shouldn’t be enough to finish the arc, unless Togashi completely cops out.

The king seems to be going mad. And that shitty Cheetah has another new move.

Highly. Especially if you liked YYH.

yeah the anime is better than the manga.

One of the rare instances for me.

I HATE that Cheetah and hope he gets peaced out soon.

Cheetah needs to die soon.

Ummm, no; anime is good BUT it doesn’t have gore like the manga does, which is something I liked in the series. Still the anime is STILL worth watching, specially if u liked YuYu Hakusho.

gore? you mean the scribbles that you can barely make out?

And how the hell does Zitoh keep getting Different hatsu’s

I liked the hunter exam in the manga, but the anime took forever to get through it. It did make some things easier to understand (the initial nen concepts with Wing were confusing in the manga, IMO), but I think that the slowed pacing hurt it too much overall.

The OVAs and the manga were equally matched, IMO.

I think the point with Zitoh is showing how you really have to use your ability to its potential to be any good. He is an idiot, so instead of coming up with one and using it properly, he just goes through a bunch.

The raws for the 24th volume has also come out. I’m not going to upload it (check tokyotosho if you want it), but I did download it myself. Some of the art changes were interesting. Check it–

Zitoh
Zitoh
Pretty significant for something that was only used in 3 pages.

Nef!
Nef!
Huge change, obviously. I’m not sure which I prefer. Original was scary, but the new one is creepy.

Shitty Novu
Still shitty! But better with Nef.
I don’t hate Novu, but I do think he sucks considering how strong his ability is. I never realized how many empty panels the manga had until I went through and looked at it side-by-side with the tankubons.

Palm!
Palm~
I think I like both of them? I like Togashi’s sketches. I wish I could remember which volume had that art of Shizuku…

No change!
Hahahaha.
Poor Palm.

Most of the changes were just cleaning up the quality of the art, so a few lines erased, some extra detail, etc, etc. Aside from a few chapters (Novu, who deserved it), it really wasn’t that bad, or significant of a change. He is kinda lazy to have no backgrounds, but with no assistants, I can’t blame him.

But zitoh is getting alot better.

those are some huge image differences.

Damn, Togashi did well!

i was reading some of the older chapters and stumbled on this:
