I'm ready now that I have the 2011 on my PC. Here's to the rest of the winter  Is this one the shounen where they have capable adults? Now that im old I feel like I can relate to them more than the kids.

Does the 2011 anime remake follow the manga completely? Just curious because not sure if I want to watch the entire series then go and read 200+ chapters all over again once I'm done. So far it's fun reminds me of why I initially liked action/adventure anime.

AndwhatIseeisme posted:It skips over and abridges some of the early chapters of the manga, but once it gets through the hunter exam arc it starts taking its time and more accurately follows the manga. You can watch the anime and pick up where it finishes without missing anything important in the manga. Alright, thanks. I don't mind the hiatus since I'm following sooo many series all at once but will be sad if it never updates.

I'm at the end of Greed Island arc  Also, wtf is wrong with Ging?! Gon would be better off never meeting his father and just looking for what happened to his mother really.

Also does Hisoka stay for the entire series as final boss or not. His character is really... Flamboyant. Favorite character is Killua and Gon's friendship.

I don't know exactly what this is but it's adorable as hell and a nice change from Chimera Ants.  I like how he added spirit animals from YYH too.

Blaze Dragon posted:Who is this "everyone"? Half of the cast prefers to do their own thing and rarely if ever sticks with the other half or with each other, and even that other half has broken up whenever needed. I meant the Hunter Exam/Yorknew arc where Gon helps support his friends on their different goals. So far we haven't seen a ton of the entire team together (I'm on ep. 90) but who knows. I'm pretty sure they will meet up again once I complete the remaining ep too.

I like how in HxH I get a sense how expansive the world is and not-Japan only focus on locations. Also, it's fun to see everyone using internet/smartphones for communication. There's been tons of times where I figured a lot of the main problems would be resolved if everyone just answered their phones when called

Gon's final battle with Pitou  I'm at the last story and I don't want it to end yet. I'll miss everyone until idek the next chapter will be out perhaps late 2016? Also Bisky is the best and I needed more scenes of them training after Greed Island.

TriffTshngo posted:You might as well just stop with the anime because the things the next arc sets up are some of the most interesting I've ever seen in any manga or anime but most likely we're not going to get to any of it in the near future. But I have to know if Gon wakes up and where Killua is going later

Roland Jones posted:2015 not getting any chapters was new. Normally we get... Let's see, there were nine in 2014, two in 2013 (but those two were for a one-shot thing), thirty as one long stretch from late 2011 to mid 2012 that finished up the Ant arc, did the entirety of the election, and started the new arc, etc. So, you can either view this optimistically and say we'll probably get something this year, and possibly a fair amount since the updates usually come in decent chunks, or small ones with a break every now and then, or you can view it pessimistically and take the longest break yet as a sign that the series is finally dead. Personally, I'm leaning towards (hoping for) the former. That might be somewhat too early for it to be totally dead right? I just got into this a few weeks ago too. I mean even DGM went on a 1 yr hiatus and restarted with new chapters some kind anime announcement. HxH is pretty popular too.

YggiDee posted:Shalnark's baby face freaks me the hell out. He's twenty-four! Like, I know its anime and that's how anime works but I feel like his head doesn't match his body. I had no idea he was that old. Also is Leorio really an teenager? Maybe they meant he was 18-19 since technically you'd need at least 21 for medical school. Wait does anyone go to school in their world?!

Completed series  Kurapika is just  for the entire finale which was pretty disappointing but otherwise it was great to see a epilogue. Did he manage to get all the remaining eyes or not? Still sad Killua and Gon parted ways but I understand why now. OK they have e-mail but it's not the same. Also surprised the Phantom Troupe didn't have a resolution.

Ik what this series needs Highschool AU Although Mito-san is cool but I still wanted him to ask what happened to his real mother on the top of the tree. I must know before Gon goes off to become a regular school kid again. Alder fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Jan 7, 2016 |

Roland Jones posted:On Killua, it's also that he was familiar with electricity; not only could he endure it, he knew it to the point that he could change his aura into it. Which adds to the whole "wow that's actually pretty hosed up" thing.  I just want to give Killua a hug.

Is HxH one of the few shounen that does NOT have any romance? I guess you can say Gon x Palm but otherwise it's pretty much let's go and travel around the world theme. Let's ignore the Chimeras and that one guy in Yorknew arc. Reminds me I'd like to read a series where romance is not a big factor with a female main character too.

I'm going to watch the 1999 HxH & OVAs and read the manga  Hopefully that'll keep me entertained for a bit. Also curious to see the differences b/t this and the reboot.

Silver2195 posted:I should probably check, but in 1999 she was Ging's childhood friend who obsessed over him, but he married her sister instead. Maybe she was Ging's sister in the manga? Or maybe his cousin? I thought in 2011 Ging was Mito-san's cousin and in the 1999 he's her brother-in-law since Ging married her sister. btw: does this make Gon a orphan? His history is now 10x sadder if true and his dad is the worst. Alder fucked around with this message at 07:51 on Jan 13, 2016 |

Serious Frolicking posted:Well, Ging abandoned Gon in Mito's care with the intention of coming back to visit periodically. Mito wasn't having any of that so she went to court to get custody of Gon. Considering what we know about Ging now, it probably wasn't necessary to forbid him from coming. Would it be OK if Ging took Gon with him during his travels? Obv it's not perfect but at least he'd kinda be involved with his son's life.

I'm reading the manga up to CH 100+ and the art is ... not bad? I'd been expecting some ONE-level of stickman hitting each other but it works. He does add a lot of text which I thought the anime handled better before I zoned out.

Kild posted:The art doesn't get bad until Greed Island and even then it depends on if its the volume version or not. Welp that explains a lot since I'm reading Viz and also censorship has appeared  I'd say recc'd order is HxH 2011> HxH manga> MAYBE HxH 1999/movies. I read the reviews for the movie and they look not good.

SHAOLIN FUCKFIEND posted:Also, even if it was Gon at his maximum potential, it was still Gon only possessing the technique/knowledge of his kid self. An actual Gon who had trained for that many years would be a way more sophisticated Nen user and a much wiser person in general, but then again it's Gon so maybe he'd have learned nothing I might go out on a limb but I'm confident older Gon would be a lot more mature/wiser due to his circumstances. I hope someday we get a follow-up on teen and/or adult Gon and Killua's lives. Eventually.

Serious Frolicking posted:The consequence of Gon's stupidity is that he really hosed up his relationship with Killua. Not irreparably, but they would only have a chance to patch things up if the manga continued. So, their story ended in a very bad place with no chance of it ever improving. Not sure if I agree with this idea because Bisky pretty much mentioned their current relationship is somewhat skewed since Gon was his very first friend ever. I figured it was a flag where they have to part ways to train and they have a better friendship on more equal terms. Just I didn't expect Alluka to show up and welp, I found my life's purpose. cya later gon. Law Cheetah posted:tbh alluka's whole existence is pretty contrived and way too convenient for Gon. The only thing that saves it is that the arc Togashi built around it is pretty cool Welp, not sure how I'd feel if Gon just stayed dead or in a coma for the rest of the series too that'd be a depressing ending.

Glad I'm not the only one who missed out due to Toonami's uselessness  Although his art got much better in HxH than YYH but the anime is still pretty great unlike the former old version.
