I never watched Hunter x Hunter but I want to give it a try.
I heard there are 2 versions, one old one new animation. Which one should I watch and why?
Whichever you want.
>>141340690
Read the manga then watch the old adaption
They're both the same. The 2011 version is a literal recolor of the older one.
>>141340690
Watch the 2011 version first
>>141340690
2011, though there is some good filler in the hunter exam arc in 99, and you should switch to 99 for the yorkshin arc and then back to 11 after
>>141340690
2011 Killua is cuter
>>141340690
2011 is better
>>141340690
2011 is overall better, but you can't deny the charm of 1999's animation
>>141340690
Read the manga faggot.
>>141340690
Seriously, honestly, absolutely for real:
read the manga.
>>141340690
Both have their good parts. I suppose 2011 is longer as in it covers more of the manga and it seems more consistent.
Watch the movies. They are the best resume of HxH, then watch GI OVAs
>>141340690
Manga -> 1999 -> 2011
is it true that he has the qualities of BOTH rubber AND gum?
Read the manga.
>>141344175
How can you possible saying that 1999 is better than 2011 while saying that the Manga is better than 1999? 2011 follows the manga extremely closely, to the point where nitpicks are the only differences.
Clearly you are a retard.
>>141344795
>2011 follows the manga extremely closely
Deluded 11tards everyone.
>>141344795
That argument only works if anon is prioritizing accuracy to the manga as the most important factor. Which I doubt he is, since the appeal of 99 is mainly the direction.
>>141344795
Anon was pointing out the order to read/watch in. The only retard here is you, but that isn't surprising since you're one of those fags who lie about 2011.
>>141342033
>2011 is overall better,
>>141344795
>2011 follows the manga extremely closely
The correct order is read the manga, watch the 2011 series and then watch the 1999 series. Each one adds something so you see something new each time.
>>141346078
If you read the manga 2011 is irrelevant. You only get yourself angry at watching that trash.
>>141346078
Indeed. Watching 1999 after 2011 made me realize how inferior madhouse's version is.
what's the difference betweem rubber and gum?
how does bungee gum works?
>>141346200
I'd recommend individual episodes of 2011 but as a whole it's very meh.
>>141340690
Figure it out yourself
Killua is cute!
to be fair, both 99 and 2011 are good. Some scenes are better in 99, yorkshin is just better in 99, but greed island is just better in 2011. Both are great in terms of shonen adaptation, and that`s good because hunter x hunter deserves it, most shonen adaptations are bad.
>>141346364
2011 version isn't good. The only reason people even say that is because the never read the manga from the beginning.

>chapter in 2 days
>>141340690
Read the manga, 2011 has no merit on it's own and really is just an extremely watered down version of the manga, with characterization is off and the important scenes and character, and story building moments are either cut or watered down significantly.
So you're just better off reading the original.

Not of the soundtrack, for that matter. The OST is arguably the greatest reason to watch the 99 version.
>>141345542
>cherrypicking
But yes, I agree the 1999 version looks better overall.
>>141347211
If he did that wouldn't make any sense..
>>141347177
Hate how 2011 trash gave him a male voice, can't get sexually attracted to that like the 99 voice.
>>141347896
I mostly liked 1999's voices better but Feitan was a million times better sounding in 2011.
Read the manga and then watch the live play for max enjoyment.
>>141347948

Feitan abilities are OP.
>>141348101

>>141348178

I started with the 2011 anime and it was great. Maybe read the first chapter of the manga for a proper Kite introduction.
>>141348233
Feitan's abilities are easily countered by running the fuck away

If you like classic 90s style anime, watch the old version.

>>141350144
That's a normal amount of text.
>>141350144
2011tards sure like posting that one chapter.
New one has better animation, voice acting, and less filler. The entire second half of the series (chimera ant arc) is only on the 2011 adaptation anyway. Considering that one of the main appeals of anime over live-action TV is the artwork/animation I have no clue why anyone would earnestly advocate the original series aside from them being a hipster/attached to the older series for watching it first.
>>141350187
Funny, because overall the 1999 version is more censored.
>>141349942
Damn manga is just superior. It's a relieved sigh instead of some cliched laugh.
>>141346676
>>141350106
Because most of them come from MAL and reddit.
>>141350252
They actually knew what had impact on story and atmosphere with their censoring. Of course all thanks to a director who actually knew what he was doing.
>>141350252
Now now anon. You don't have to lie.
>>141350219
>New one has better animation,

>>141350187

Why are 99fags so obnoxious?
>>141350252
2011 is literally 4kidz tier for half of the series.
>>141349942
2011 had to have the budget for a longer series and it still did well
want me to show you the scenes comparison for the ant arc? Because it will just be nothing for 1999
Why can't you all shut up, and on another note, why do you faggots reply to such an obvious (you)-fishing thread.
>>141340690
Manga > 99 > 2011
Even when 99 diverges from the manga by adding filler or changing the tone, it's still superior to 2011 because it became its own thing in the end. The York Shin OVAs are close to masterpiece, the direction, soundtrack, fight choreography, etc, all excel.
The scene when Paku uses her ability and the chain slowly creeps in to kill her far surpasses anything the 2011 anime did.
>>141350451
You know the Ant arc took around 10 years to finish, right?
>>141350369
I was talking about 1999 vs 2011 retard. Of course both the anime versions are more censored compared to the manga. I literally just posted an example where you could even see it.>>141350187

>>141350577
Give me 5 no 3 scenes where 2011 was visually more impressive than 1999.
>>141350505
And I agree that 99 is vastly better than 2011.
>>141350618
This was the only time.
>>141350598
And how was it smart? Censoring seems pretty stupid if you want to have a dark atmosphere.
Ging was cuter in the 1999 version.
>>141350493
This.
>>141350665
I meant as a comparison. There's no chimera ant arc in 1999 and I'm damn sure it would have been even better.
>>141350668
Both have censoring, better have a smart director doing it.

>>141350804
You didn't say why you thought it was smart. That was my question
>>141351258
Because people don't base how much they like a character on superficial qualities like their design? Not that I think 2011 Kurapika looks bad, but that's the only criticism he gets besides "OMG THYE MADE HIM A LITTLE ANGRIER"
>>141351395
2011 fags truly are the worse.
>>141351395

>>141351800
The Chimera Ant arc uses a very unique method of storytelling that slows the flow of time through the use of heavy narration, as well as portraying multiple perspectives of the same situation to allow the audience to have a thorough understanding of the battle from all sides. It has a story that consists of many major underlying tightly-knit themes that come together to create a masterpiece – often becoming a fantastic subversion of the tropes so commonly seen in shonen anime and manga, while also telling its own extremely intelligent, and emotionally devastating tale that often forces us to really think about the consequences of every character’s actions as well as their moral ambiguity.
>>141351754
That's not a fucking strawman lmao
>>141352205
What the fuck are you talking about? And I am referring to the fact that 99fags are the reason most HxHfags get a bad rap. And that unless you are one, most people avoid other 99fags. Like seriously, 99fags all same the shit and have the same fucking opinions. It's a never-ending circlejerk about the same fucking shit

>99fags are the reason most HxHfags get a bad rap

>99fags mad that they made the mistake of wasting their time with defunct adaptation that no one cares to discuss on the oriental basket weaving forum of their choice
>>141352297
Yeah, this is the biggest problem. 99fags literally all post the same examples of its "superiority", like that one chain scene with Kurapika. They don't seem to have their own opinions and are content with repeating the same tired disproven arguments

The series' darker art style naturally lends itself better to an arc like Yorkshin, and it's the only arc without shitty filler in 1999.

Things in which Madhouse objectively succeed:
- Episodes 116 and 131(masterpieces, leave a stronger impression than manga)
- Requiem
- Little Neferpitou fillers and Pitou's character per se
- CA soundtrack (unfortunately, used poorly) and Hyori Ittai
- Gon vs Hisoka
Apart from that Madhouse adaptation is blandly directed uninspired garbage.

Requiem and the Kurapika Ubo fight was better in 2011 that's it (99 had too much unnecessary feels shit like Kurapika praying). The chase was much better in 99.
>>141354678
Read the manga.
>>141354740
The way their faces distort during the chase, you can literally feel the the fear and terror on Gon's and Killua's faces as they realize they've been spotted. It's why I think that scene is better than the 1999 version, it's just more effective at inducing suspense.

Read the manga animefag.

I've read the manga you retard. I was referring to how they fucked up Gon in 2011. Did I really have to hold your hand?
>>141354862
I... I see. Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Let's stop discussing about 99 vs 11 and lets talk about why Greed Island is the most shit arc ever created?
>dude vidya lmao
>>141354869
I would gladly hold hands with you. :3

If you read the manga, the anime is irrelevant unless you want to partake in 1999 vs 2011 shitposting.

Chimera ant "the best arc of the series"
>DUDE HUMANS ARE EVIL LMAO
Stop taking the bait

I want to undermine any talk about anime by spreading the gospel of the greatness that is the manga.

If you read good manga and watched good anime, HxH is irrelevant unless you want to consume poorly written walls of text and shit art with edgy "WE WUZ THE REAL MONSTERS N SHIET" message only a teenager could take seriously.
>>141354984
GI is the second best arc after Election.
>>141355096
This post reeks of crossboarder faggotry.
>>141355098
No.
Yorkshin > Chimera > everything else > GI

What exactly you don't understand?

Because now I have a a pack of good music to listen to while rereading CA arc so I'm a bit thankful.

Have you ever read this manga or watched the anime m8? Either 99 or 2011
>>141355206
>muh generic shonen powerlevel
>>141354984
I didn't enjoy greed island as much as the other arcs because of all the training. it felt like an awkward time to explain the various applications of nen when it initially feels like GI was all about gathering spell cards. and then after Gon and Killua finally finishes their training and starts dealing with the bomber we learn the only important spell cards in the entire arc are, like, accompany and leave.
>>141355312
How the fuck was CA generic shounen powerlevel?
>>141355206
Yorkshin's pacing was better. Chimera arcs themes where more interesting, the nature of revenge is less interesting than the nature of man as a story topic for sure. Yorkshins has it's merit of being hectic and unpredictable in how it would conclude. With the Chimera arc togashi kind of dropped the bomb with what was going to happen to Meruem's character with the introduction of the blind girl
>>141355312
>>141355206
It's true. The CA arc dragged on for way longer than it should have, and large portions of it, particularly before Meruem's birth, were boring as fuck. It's the invasion part onwards that people remember the CA arc for.
>>141355354
That feel when you realize One Piece is better than HxH
>>141355312
>>141355362
>>141355411
finally people are seeing that chimera ant sucked shit. togashi is an awful writer and doesn't even know the basics of good writing: show dont tell
also you huntards are just a bunch of pretentious autistic virgin fedora tippers neckbeards who think that walls of text = good writing.

Chimera was great, but Yorkshin was way better

Togashi, shut the fuck up and finish your fucking manga
