Yup...that's my fuck Gon scene. That little kid pulled some Light Yagami shit right there.

Manga stuff
I do wonder if Gon not being able to see his Nen [despite it being there according to Ging] is more of a mental thing. Perhaps Gon is ashamed of what he became, from threatening innocents, to potentially damaging his friendship with Killua that it's almost like he doesn't want to use Nen again. It's a bit of a reach but I think that could be a good idea.
The more popular theory of course is that when he was wished to be "normal" it means before he learned Nen. Meaning his pores haven't been opened.

Also Gon crazy descent into darkness makes more sense in the manga. Kaito is literally the man responsible for him becoming a hunter, he's the one that told him of his father and the hunter organization, Kaito it's there from the very beginning. I don't like how the anime dealt with his introduction.
Oh man, really? I am not a huge manga person and usually deal with the Anime for these kinda things, except for special Occasions. Like I have only read this year JoJo, Naruto, and Death Note. I might have to go through this all again just for the differences, and to be sure that things make sense in the Post anime arcs.
Kaito is pretty much the only major thing they changed, he goes to Whale Island looking for Ging and ends up saving Gon life when he's a kid. He tells him of his father and the hunter's and leaves with him his father Hunter Card. That sets up Gon later adventure.
That moment in the anime where Kaito gives Gon the hunter card before Pitou encounter kinda ruins what's gonna happen, in the manga it was more shocking since we got no hint that Kaito has gonna get fucked.

That's the single blemish in the 2011 adaptation. I literally don't have any complaints outside of the way the Kite was handled. Anime only watchers don't have the proper context regarding Kite & Gon's relationship, and it's a shame.
Yeah man! I love HxH. My nephew and I watched the entire series a few years back (binge watched until we caught up to the week by week wait). What a ride that was. I read the manga from that point where the anime left off. Now I'm in the cycle of dread and delight whenever Togashi goes on hiatus and then announces his return only to go on hiatus again after a while, lol.
Gon is still one of my favorite Shonen protags (Yusuke is my absolute favorite), but yeah, that was a point where I was thinking, "What the hell are you doing, Gon?!"
Man, the scene where Killua cries to Palm about not being able to help his friend broke my heart. I was crying too, lol. They're just kids indeed, but the show brought across their emotions so well, you can't help but feel it with them.
Yep, that was very stupid
What are they thinking
About that theory...
gon have his nen when he meet gin, isn't?

Seriously, no fuck you. Gon don't deserve this. Fuck this shit, fuck Pitou, fuck the King, Fuck Togashi. I am gonna need to blow some steam. What in the name of Christ just happened, honestly now.

I know that pain.
Did you just get to that part in the arc with Gon?
Yeah I did.
The The entire explosion of rage, to the overkill, to the fact that you are screaming inside that thankfully, THANKFULLY he stopped even if he should have a tad earlier. And then oh hey, lets rip his fucking arm off, and the crazy son of a bitch is crying tears of joy because he paid an arm for arm with Kite. And you guy are telling me I have to sit through at least 2 more episodes of this? Good lord all mighty.
That episode still gets me. Especially when you look at it from Killua's perspective.
But yeah, Togashi isn't done with you yet.
131 conjures up too many emotions in me. I was watching a reaction compilation video the other day, and despite watching this episode God know's how many times, I still can't stop the tears.
Honestly can't think of any other episode of anime that resonances with me so much on an emotional level. That's why nothing can really touch the Chimera Ant arc in my eyes. The only anime that comes close for me is DBZ, due to immense childhood nostalgia, but even then, those are only hype nostalgia tears. HxH is something more, it touches something deeper. The way the characters are written and developed just makes me feel very invested in what happens to them.

When I recommend this show to people, I unironically tell them that they need to hurry up and get to Ep. 131c
That's honestly what makes the the CA arc so interesting and compelling. These are children going through extreme conditions and unbelievable stressors. I always try to put myself in Gon and Killua's shoes, because the shit they're dealing with at their age absolutely boggles the mind.
How far are you yet? You should be very close to one of the best arc's of all time, that will keep you busy.
Eh, you still got plenty of great stuff before then. You are around the 30s yes? You are about to get into some pretty dope shit lol
Shit starts to get real during that arc.
Leorio will get his time to shine. No worries.
No, need to finish it. Last episode I saw was Gon fighting Beyblade man.
Oh, so you haven't even seen the real shit in that arc yet lol
I told you to prepare your anus for a reason. An ep that fucking destroys me isn't an ep that you can survive unprepared. I love that ep and hate it cause it hurts so much.
I have also seen the ep enough times and arc to have respect for Pitou and her growth. Seeing her/him savaged like that was too much. Also seeing the whole thing from Killua's perspective is heart breaking. He has to essentially watch his best friend, the bond that transformed him practically commit suicide.
Some slight pacing issues for the Chimera Ants Arc prevents it from being the #1 spot for me. York New is still the best IMHO.
I like both a lot, but Chimera Ants floored me. I think it had a more powerful message.
Yup. I also didn't like how they handled Killua's arc. The resolution seemed cheap and not in the normal cool HxH way.
Chimera Ant is my favorite. The stuff that goes down is just....It isn't without issues, but that arc is just something else.
York New is my favorite. If Chimera Ant wasn't so long and drawn out I think I would've liked it better, it was just so disheartening to go through ten episodes and see 'Three minutes have passed since the beginning of the raid.' The highs were super good and worth it, but the lows were hard to get through.
What I see generally the least liked arc is Greed Island, but I loved that one as well. It's just a testament to how good this series is to have one of your lower quality arcs still be awesome.
All this talk about the Chimera Ant arc takes me back to when it started in the anime. The first time I saw that OP I had fucking chills all over. When Pitou, Pouf and Youpi appear and bow to the King... I'm pretty sure I teared up. Finally getting to see this arc animated was just sooo amazing.
