does silva knows what illumi plans for killua and alluka?
Most likely, they were listening in on his entire conversation, plus if Killua concluded that Illumi wanted to put them under his control, Silva probably figured it as well.
Illumi doesn't wish to "harm" Killua, so Silva probably just lets his actions slide.

I never understood the part with the hunter exam and the hunter rules. Partison wanted, that the hunter exam and the rules would be changed, right (in the election arc)?
But why and in which way? Was this explained once?3DS FC: 2707-2567-8190

I hope we get a flashback of what Kurapika has been up to, because whatever he has gone through while Gon and Killua were busy with the GI and the Chimera ants seems to have changed him.

I never understood the part with the hunter exam and the hunter rules. Partison wanted, that the hunter exam and the rules would be changed, right (in the election arc)?
But why and in which way? Was this explained once?Now that you talked about it, it was quite a random thing.
First the all hunter exam thing was brought to the surface because of Illumi killing people. The 4th article and 3rd article do not allow the organisation to deal with people like him unless he commits those crimes.
Basically, any asshole could join the organisation and the organisation could only act against the asshole in extreme situations.
Teradin and Bushidora wanted the change, it was their campaign flag.The Ging mentioned Pariston intended to "play" with the chimera in the day of the hunter exam.
Why? No idea.Then Pariston decided to bring the hunter exam to the table in the final election, not because he wanted it to be changed there, but as a way to buy time for Gon to come in and give him the win.
Then Pariston asks/demands that Cheadle change the hunter exam and articles…
So basically... he wants to have fun?
And the Chimera are his weapon?
Like... things are too boring right now, and he wants to use the Chimera to spice them up?
But he will only use them if Cheadle makes a boring organisation?I guess it goes along with what Undead said.
-
If Pariston really wanted the association to be funnier, why the hell did he chose Cheadle to be the Chairman?
-
This Hunter exam deal is confusing.
From what I understand.
- Cheadle needs some outside expertise for the DC, but it could cause problems if she just brought them on as a 3rd party, so she basically wants to make an easy hunter exam so they can pass and become hunters.
Was it hinted what kind of experts these are? Are these the bureaucrats like glasses-san? (Who else is there if not them?)
-

Not really, here is the text that referenced them.
(This is Ging talking)
"If the association accepted the terms and went to the dark continent officially, they'd need expert personnel, but governments are risk adverse and slow to respond, Using private contractors always creates disputes with contracts and distribution rights."
"Cheadle will try to recruit the necessary personnel through the Hunter exam, so the association acts alone. It's the most realistic and efficient way."
Whoever these experts are, it seems Cheadle feels she needs to nerf the exam to guarantee they will pass.
-
It's possibly a bunch of medical personnel, or those responsible for provisions and whatnot. Basically the kind of people you'll need on an expedition to the unknown. Which doesn't mean strong fighters only. It could also be a number of scholars, using their knowledge to support the whole thing.

confirmed!! no hiatus this year yeah!!

What about the anime though, like how are they going to continue doing episodes when the manga barley started coming out of hiatus. Are they going to end it in a season and bring it up like SAO 2 or are they just going to outright cancel it?

source?
i wouldnt put money on it either way
yeah ur right, same here.. i just read it somewhere..

No it's not.
yeah, they'll do the election arc:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-05-27/hunter-x-hunter-anime-election-arc-cast-announced/.74944We already knew that. And that will only last maybe 10 episodes. The manga won't be any further by then, that's almost no buffer whatsoever, and with Togashi's track record trying to do filler would be insane.
The anime will almost certainly stop after that shortarc.

They aren't.

Excellent episode today, and only a few left from this arc :(

"just read it somewhere" is hardly close to "confirmed"

. And that will only last maybe 10 episodes.
not to jinx it or anything but eh 10 = episodes = 10 weeks = something… you know what im talking about... so maybe... if by then... yeah... at least the anime might do it... not jinxing it...
-
10 weeks of manga is only 5 weeks of anime. And it takes them a couple months to produce those episodes. Actual production on the election arc is probably pretty much done now.
The only sensible thing would be to call it a stopping point and put the anime on break. They aren't going to keep the anime going with only 2-3 weeks of leeway AND a chance of hiatus popping up every 10 chapters. Thats just insane.
The only way they animate past the election arc is if they know something about the remaining length of the manga that we don't. (IE, Togashi plans to end it all within 10 or 20 chapters)
-
(IE, Togashi plans to end it all within 10 or 20 chapters)
LOL the wishful thinking of so many people here. We've been hearing things like this for 8+ years
October 2011 Jump interview:
Oda: So where is HxH? At half?
Togashi: Hard to say. I still have five or six stories in mind. If all goes as planned, there should be at least 3 or 4 stories after the ant arc. Course of time, unexpected events occur and **** up your plans. therefore, OP is more than half?
You were wrong about Gyro never being expounded on and the anime making a mistake by discussing him. You were wrong about the series being over with the last batch of chapters. Your track record is one who always predicts HXH being finished and then posting bad HXH art in response to being wrong and getting called out on it
HXH isn't ending in 20 chapters
-

Did you miss the entire point of my post? Yes, you did.
HXH isn't ending in 20 chapters
If it's ending, and the anime is privy to such secret information, the anime will adapt what's coming out now because there's only a little bit left.
If it's NOT ending, then the anime will stop after the chairman arc rather than deal with filler and potential hiatuses, because its too close behind the manga right now.
Either the manga is ending or the anime is. Given when Togashi resumed, we don't get to have both at this juncture.

I never, ever, EVER said "the series was over". (unless it was a joke, in which case… learn to understand humor.) The last chapter was clearly there to keep it going.
But, for all intents and purpsoes, it was over. It reached a natural stopping point, (aside from the baiting final chapter) and then didn't move for two years. And it's not likely to get too far into anything this time around either.
You always insist its going to keep running at high quality. It won't. In ten or twenty chapters, thirty if we're lucky, it'll go into break mode again, and we'll continue to not have any of the lingering plotlines moved much at all for another two years, AND possibly be stopped at a cliffhanger instead of a more natural stopping point.
-
-
And you always insist its going to keep running at high quality, then more scribble art and a hiatus comes for two years.
You get like two bad chapters of art in a 20 chapters span and act like that's how it always looks. The story is better than it has ever been. An anime now exists that ends any frustration over poor art. This series releases on a hiatus/serialziation basis. I've never said that's going to change while you and others have been dying for the series to have an abrupt ending for years and have treated that opinion as a fact that that is the reality of the situation. Your thoughts aren't worth much due to a consistancy of always being wrong

"It doesn't matter that its crap some of the time, it's not always crap!"
Plus, its art that he didn't fix in the trades, which he USED to do.
Hence, less effort than he used to put in. (And other artists don't have random awful scribble chapters mid-run, there's just no excuse for it)
The story is better than it has ever been.
You're thinking of Greed Island.
An anime now exists that ends any frustration over poor art.
By that standard, Bleach is awesome as well. Superior adaptation doesn't fix or excuse poor initial work.
This series releases on a hiatus/serialziation basis.
Which NONE of its peers do! It's unprofessional compared to every other title in that magazine. If he wants that schedule, either have an official hiatus period with a pre-announced return, or move to a monthly magazine.
But the syndication length and break periods being completely random is the unprofessional dumb part. Just make the breaks consistent and predictable in length, and that'll ease the problems.
I've never said that's going to change while you and others have been dying for the series to have an abrupt ending for years and stating as a fact that that is the reality of the situation.
No, you instead insist the series is going to continue at some sort of reasonable output and quality.
We just want the series to either actually continue at a proper schedule, OR reach a satisfying ending. No one wants the series dead, we just want Togashi's commitment to be clearer, and given his track record, we fear for the worst if he loses interest or passion, which he has plainly done several times now.
He HAS ended his series abruptly and badly for no real reason before. There is zero reason at this point to believe he won't do so again if he feels like it.
Your thoughts aren't worth much due to a consistancy of always being wrong
And your thoughts aren't worth much due to a consistency of always being an ass.

You do understand that picture isn't saying "this one panel makes everything bad"… it just serves as a shorthand for everything wrong? That its easier to just show the one image as an easy reference and joke, than to discuss for the boring umpteenth time the dozens of things it represents?

And don't call me an ass again or I'll report you for flaming/flame-bait
You make very inconsistent arguments. HXH's anime fixes any art concerns. I said nothing about it fixing story issues. HXH always performs on telling a good story (que 10 pages of OP fanboys telling me I'm wrong and HXH's story is bad but they can't stop reading it). Bleach's story isn't the same so they aren't equal comparisons. I don't know how you reached that Bleach anime comparison
I have no idea why someone so ethically opposed to Togashi's work ethic follows his project
You treat those who disagree with you with a condescending air and then act like it's a crime when someone does the same to you. Don't call me an ass again and I suggest you review the TOS and while you are at it, take a look back at the pattern Togashi has set for telling his manga. He isn't going to miraculously start releasing this series on a weekly basis and drop his hiatus-focused approach for his story

Bleach had a high quality anime and soundtrack that made its manga look good too, and helped people overlook the flaws.
And no, HxH does NOT always perform well on the story. That's just blind fanboyism. We call out OP on its flaws and problem areas, and do the same for HxH.
I have no idea why someone so ethically opposed to Togashi's work ethic follows his project
Because when I started reading it a DECADE AGO, he hadn't started pulling this shit and I was already invested by the time the problems started.

I have civil debates all the time.
It's only a crime when they're antagonizing everyone else endlessly.

Cool. You can explain to your mod peers about how you don't uphold the TOS. Enjoy your ban. I addressed my grievances with your flame-bait reputation of lying that HXH was over and misleading users here with examples. You ran to name calling because you have nothing else to say to me

The long running joke is used in debates to avoid confronting claims by running back to that long-running joke

No offense, but you just talked like one of those senators who boast about having immunity until they are shoot down.
The point is, I'd first get a talking to, and be asked to make an apology if anyone thought I was in the wrong… and "I'm going to tell on you and get you banned!" is a silly threat to make for someone who doesn't know anything about the site. I'm not going to be banned on sight for dealing with an ass, same way Alex isn't getting banned on the spot for something this small, and its stupid to think we'd hand out bans that readily.
If Alex refuses to actually read or understand everyone else's point, and be confrontational to 98% of the thread for years at a time? That he completely fails to grasp that we all like the series and we only complain BECAUSE we like it? To not go to anywhere on the board aside from this one thread and get context for how we talk about things? To constantly be harassing, argumentive, and insulting, (about us being overappologetic for OP? when we're not?) and then not be able to take it in kind when it's pushed back at him?
Even right now when the series is actually active and NO ONE else was taking about the hiatuses (aside from how it affects the anime) or the bad art for the last several weeks and he has to pull up arguments from weeks ago?
I'm tired of the bullshit.
Asshole's an asshole. I know I'm one. He should know he is too.

Not entirely true anymore. I only have them till somewhere in the middle of the ant saga. Volume 27 maybe? I stopped getting the english releases after some hiatus or another and it took a a year between 25 and 26, and then a year between that and the next, and then a year and a half for the next volume to come out. Mostly because I had trouble remembering what volume I left off on and already bought one of the volumes twice.

Your thoughts aren't worth much due to a consistancy of always being wrong
While consistency is the issue, it's the issue with HXH and Togashi in general. Consistency in his art, in his schedule and in his commitment. You've shrugged these arguments off a thousand times before, but you should know that these are actual precedented issues. Two in twenty might not seem bad to you, but from our perspective, that's a reasonable chance that Togashi will stop giving a shit. For us fans who love the series, it's really hard knowing that any week, we'll get thrown a bunch of squiggles, or Togashi will disappear from the face of the earth with no sign that he will come back or that he'll just nuke the manga altogether, a la Yu Yu Hakusho. It's because we love the series that we find this so frustrating. We don't want Togashi to just end things, but at this point we're prepared for the worst. Some of us would rather see the series dead instead of in this tortured state of uncertain quality. The anime helps alleviate some of the art issues, but it's a small bandaid on a laceration. It doesn't prevent our enthusiasm from bleeding out and lately, we've all been getting dizzy on blood loss.
Even if you don't feel this way, understand that this is a source of endless frustration to the rest of us. At least recognize that these things are not a small issue. If my words don't convince you, the backlash we fans fire at Togashi should be evidence of a problem.

I dunno man if they can do it to where they adapt literally 1:1 per chapter kind of like ONe Piece does, they might be able to do it while HxH is in syndication. The problem is that Togashi isn't a proven consistent worker whatsoever. i'm really hoping Togashi is planning on doing this arc in one swoop to finish the series off, but who knows what's going to happen.

1)why the hell would anyone want an anime at One Piece's horrible quality and pace? Better no anime at all for a while than the product degraded that much.
2)No professional studio would take that gamble.
Unless they downright have a contract guaranteeing Togashi doesn't break for more than a week at a time, but that seems… unlikely.
-
I wouldn't, but honestly the recent episodes of HxH haven't been that different with their chapter and a half approach to adapting. The Chimera Ant arc should've been finished already if it was paced more properly. But instead they drag it out…which makes me believe that the anime producers are hoping Togashi tightens up and finishes the series somehow or another.
I do admit that Ging meeting Gon would be a great end to the series, but they'd have to axe all the monologue on the Dark Continent i think unless they want their fans hungry for years to come.
-
I don't really think they're dragging it out, but it's more I guess that they want to build up to the climax of the arc. They could rush it so that Gon vs. Pitou would be closely followed up (and pretty much is anyway in the grand scheme of things), but allowing some breathing room will end up positioning the ending better (in theory). This is different from a continuous flow of action that served the first part of the chimera ant arc, so they need to play with it differently.
Remember that although Hunter x Hunter is fairly popular in Japan that One Piece gets by with crap animation because no matter what gets output, people will still watch it. With a much different timeslot geared to a much smaller crowd, that just won't cut it for Hunter x Hunter.
-
I know thought about until someone pointed it out on another forum, but isn't the contagous aspect of Rose Bomb's poison basically meant to punish those who would try to care for the bomb's victims? That's really messed up. What kind of sick fuck would design such a weapon?
Huh, that lends a teeny tiny bit of credibility to Togashi's HUH HOOMANZ SUCK DUDE, THEY REALLY SUUUUUUUCK WHILE DRINKING CHAMPAGNEZ tirade.
-
Some parts of the ant arc anime were dragged-out, but nothing too drastic. Has to do more with team rotation, pacing and distribution of key scenes and maybe target end date for the anime.
No way the anime will continue to DC arc. Even if Togashi publishes a year's worth of chapters straight (yeah right) the anime will eventually catch-up without the arc ending. 339 is the natural stopping point.
