God damn that's some delicious ass lookin' stuffin all up in there.
Hunter x Hunter II
-
-
So yeah, next week is the Kite flashback and the next arc's prologue with the queen. Nice move from Madhouse as the majority here said before.
Also
This should the opening image of the HxH threads from now on.
-
I know it's just decoration and all, but that lettuce looked really crisp. Turkey even snatched away some of those berries for itself, sneaky thing. I like my turkeys feisty like that.
-
There is this one as well.
-
This thread shoul be renamed into "Hiatus X Turkey" or "Turkey X Turkey".
-
Hm someone should photoshop turkey into that picture with the hand.So ant tries to get a piece of that NICE TURKEY
-
I expect someone here to have that Turkey as their avatar or signature by this time tomorrow.
I EXPECT IT!
-
! Signature would look like this, I suppose.
! -
i was looking for a new avatar.
I was thinking they should have used footage of a real turkey just so the contrast is the same as in the manga haha
-
lmao @ those turkey/ant arc pics
And now the notorious Chimera Ant arc begins. For a while I never thought this would get animated. I never imagined there'd be a whole new anime covering the old material as well. Disappointed Togashi didn't return to serialization around the beginning of the Madhouse GI arc.
-
I'm gonna die … I'm gonna die , that pic is just too epic, ahhh...
-
-
Just looking at the turkey makes me want to go get a leg and tear into it. I wonder how the guys drawing it felt.
-
it wouldn't have surprised me if the quality of the animation dropped after that scene because anyone working on it went out for turkey straight after

And then no new episodes for a bit cause everyone is too sleepy from eating all that tur….Oh man. Maybe that's what's up with Togashi, he's all turkey'd out.
-
Anyone have a certain scene from CA they are anticipating most to see animated? For me it's the initial break-in moment at the palace.
So many good moments in that arc though. Can't wait to see Killua become aware of Illumi's spell and own that rabbit-ant general
-
Although CA isn't my favorite arc, I'm really looking forward to Netero vs. the King and Gon unleashing the beast.
-
''gon unleashing the beast'' (i'm to immature for my age. I blame gintama)
I'm not sure what scene i'd like to see most. Apart from the ones mentioned maybe kite vs pitou
-
I'm definately looking forward to seeing Netero vs Meryem. I especially want to see how Madhouse is going to handle the animation of Netero's final attack.
-
The part I really wanna see is gonna be Gon VS Pitou. It just looked so cool. Though Netero will be awesome as well. Really the entire invasion arc was one of my favorites. I even translated a bunch of it. I'll be happy once they get past the initial like… randomly killing Ants, exposition part of the ant arc.
-
Some of the fights from the Ryodan should be pretty fun to watch as well. Seeing Feitan's fight agaisnt the fake queen should be pretty enjoyable to watch I think.
-
Yea so many good moments aside from the real huge ones to watch in this arc.
-Killua removing the needle.
-Bonolenov's JUPITER.
-Feitan talking shit in chinese.
-Knov's contact with Pitou's nen.
-The whole thing about break in on the castle with the build up, Netero…etc
-Gon's ultimatum.
-Cheeto's death.
-Youpi vs Killua and the end of Youpi vs Knuckle.
-The orgasmic chapter.And lots of other moments i forgot.

Netero vs. Meyrem
Well that's too huge an event to be included in a list of relatively minor moments.

I did not read your first sentence properly…

I'm looking forward to seeing Palm's creepy faces

I'm looking forward to seeing Palm's creepy faces
Palm and Gon's date <3
With Killua watching over them <3 -
So how long does everyone think the Chimera Ant arc will take to get through?
I know Robby told me once it should take a year and a half or so considering they went through 2 chapters per episode early on but I was checking out the HxH Wiki and I read that the York New and Greed Island episodes had adapted 4 to 6 chapters per episode! I read the manga to confirm it and sure enough the wiki was actually correct about it. And the Chimera Ant arcs chapters tend to vary a lot in length with some being only 14 to 15 pages long. And that's with the added fact that episodes that feature fight scenes tend to be the ones that do the most chapters in one and I heard Chimera Ant has a lot of them. I'm wondering if Chimera Ant will even last an entire year now.
Just food for thought.
Also HxH is continuing to make the Top 10 anime ratings! One Piece is beating it again by 4.1 points but for it to even be in the Top 10 is really awesome. Imagine where the ratings will be next week when the Chimera Ant arc which has never been animated before starts.

Proof.
I think that's gonna be the weirdest part for me. Seeing something from HxH that I've never seen animated before. Especially since the source material I read at the time was extremely shoddy. I'm very excited.
-
Greed Island had a lot of exposition/card game shenanigans/training montages they could cut down and rush through thats never going o come up again, it's been animated before, and for a lot of people its their least favorite arc… plus it preceeds the anticapated one, its not surprising they sped through it.
The ant arc is the all new material and what everyone's been waiting the last two years for, they'll likely try to milk it as much as possible. I wouldn't be surprised if they even went for less than two chapters an episode at this point, though obviously the best outcome really is a tight shorter story than a bloated longer one.

That's cool. I never really got in HXH until I watched the new show last year but as soon as I saw it for the first time I fell in love with everything about it immediately (well except for the fact that it took until the mid 30's before we got an actual fight) and finally being able to enjoy the arc that many people say is one of the best of the series is has me very excited as well.

I never thought about that part (the cut things and the fact that this is what a lot of people have been waiting on). I'd hope that Madhouse kept up the same pace they have so far especially with the fact that I read some chapters in the Chimera Ant arc are only 14 or 15 pages long but I understand this is a buisness so they probably won't but its nice to dream.
-
Granted, without the narrator slowdown, the entire 30 chapter invasion segment should technically take like 2 minutes. But obviously its going to take a while, much like the five minutes till Namek explodes..

After a sequence like that is over, I imagine what it looked like in real time.
-
55ish episodes?
How many volumes did the arc cover? I think it started in volume 19 and went till like volume 29/30
-
If I did my math correctly a few weeks ago, we'll have roughly 22 months left of material starting last week, if the anime keeps the pace it has been on.
This is math I did about a week ago:
I imagine they will go into the Chairman Election Arc, but we would seem to have a while yet before we'll have to worry about that. Right now, the anime is about 182 chapters into the manga. The Ants arc ends at about chapter 315 (about). That is 133 chapters to adapt.
Lets do it this way: Anime has been running for about 30 months. If they keep pace, they'll adapt about 6 chapters per month. They could go faster or slower, who knows? Regardless of that, if they keep pace the CA arc will last 22 months or so. Whew.
-
15 second preview of the Chimera Ant arc, some unseen footage.
Also this is just an educated guess but I'd prepare for an incredibly sad ending lol. The title of the new ending according to AnimeNewsNetwork is "Nagareboshi☆KIRARI" by YUZU (same group who did the previous opening, Reason) and I found an orchestral version of it in the Hunter X Hunter movie soundtrack. -
Theoretically they could end the anime completely when Gon finds Gin, because that was his goal after all. Then maybe release OVAs again, worked last time. Of course this is me factoring in the hiatus, although I wonder if Jump could use the anime to get Togashi to be a regular mangaka again lol.

@Friend:

Why the hell would they stop there?
Stopping at that point would leave that short arc at a really awkward stopping point with the election unfinished.
If they get it to that point, may as well cover the remaining like, 3 chapters left in the arc where everyone splits up, we check in on Kurapika again, and Gon goes off on adventure with his dad.
Of course this is me factoring in the hiatus, although I wonder if Jump could use the anime to get Togashi to be a regular mangaka again lol.
Hasn't made a difference for the last 13 months.
-
I know I asked a similar question about DBZ but this one's concerns a much more recent matter: namely, does anyone know the original release dates for Chapter 186 and 318 ? Because the HXH wiki is surpisingly incapable of providing that, even for a rather recent chapter.
-
First episode of the Chimera Ant arc in a matter of hours!
Get Hyyyyyyyyyyped!!!
-
Is there going to be a new opening too? New visuals I mean (I assume Departure for eternity).

I'd assume so. They at least changed visuals for large arcs…Now if only we could get rid of that song which is going to be terribly out of place.
-
I am ******* hyped. The Chimera Ant arc is my favorite in the series thus far, and I am dying to see it finally animated. Hunter x Hunter 2011 has got to be one of the best translations from manga to anime I've ever seen.
-
Came home from 8 hours of work on a weekend to this, I am so very excited. What a reward! At the very least we'll get new opening animation, no worries there.
I normally rewatch each Hunter X Hunter episode 2-3 times throughout the week but this one I think I'm gonna watch the 480p if it releases first, then the 720p, etc multiple times.
-
-
watching one piece. Hopefully it's out after i finished. Any later and i can't watch it before work :(
-
BRB emergency room hands are cramping from F5
But before I go… take this!! 480p Hunter X Hunter is OUT on HS.
-
I found it interesting how they changed around the conditions of Gon and Kite's remeeting. It took a while for them to realize who the other was and even more so why they knew each other.
Which makes sense because they couldn't just have them gushing over each other while people didn't know who he was because he had been taken out of Gon's backstory early on. I think it was a decent middle ground even if I preferred the original.
-
I'm glad that the meeting took the entire episode, more bonding time = more emotional attachment to Kite. New opening's pretty sweet. 'specially the blue glowy Hunter X Hunter logo.
-
Interesting that the opening excludes Komugi and the spiders. I figured they'd get a quick scene. I would have preferred scenes of them over the generic shot of Gon and Killua running or them playing with bugs.
