It's a very good anime compared to trash like One piece, or even every popular anime. BUT they could have done so much better if they hadn't tried to please morons and cartoon fans. Firstly because the original manga is a work of genius. Secondly because it's one of the most popular shonens and its fanbase has been waiting for a remake forever. And finally because the 99 anime had everything in place to lead the way on how to animate brilliantly Hunter x Hunter. It's just my opinion, the anime is superb but they could have done so much better especially at the beginning.

[@sasukeiseasilythebestchara2954]

@@shira158 Great counter argument. Very convincing. Let's compare it to our beloved HxH. One Piece is a comedic, action, adventure epic that kids of all of ages can not only get into, but grow up with (& has given it's many adult viewers). A grand story with phenomenal world building, a lovable cast you want to sail with, good foreshadowing, mysteries & an end goal sight from day one making it more rewarding to see the crew progress toward. It's fun. HxH? Great ride, far shorter in comparison, good main cast especially Gon & Killua. Tackles the friendship aspect incredibly well, as does One Piece, & adventure to a far lesser extent. The battles are often strategic which is nice but there lies a problem. You have to essentially take notes and study the power system to understand it. Even upon rereads (or watches). The story can somewhat get too dark for the target audience & the manga's art style isn't particularly up to standards with average shonen series (still good, has it's charm, just less detailed). The main cast is smaller yet they still get sidelined a lot. With Gon & Killua ultimately being replaced after the abrupt Ging meeting (imagine the Straw Hats getting the One Piece like that 😫). Whereas One Piece's larger cast is handled a lot better. Luffy gets too much attention at times, but ultimately everyone has a role, be it small or big in different arcs. HxH only beats OP in being less predictable & more strategic, Note - I haven't read nor watched either in years so I'm not being as detailed as I'd like.

When opponent is a high risk player who can steal skills, why would he risk letting him alive, basically due to close proximity chrollo could steal the skills of his grandpa! I find that part bit hard to digest... Skills power and life are far important than money, the Gramps told it himself "go with strongest attack even if you have to kill me", basically imagine that guy stealing the skill, getting more stronger, and finishes everyone from zolydict family for their skills if not now later, it's like letting a criminal at large ...

Reasons this version owns the 2011 version: 1. The new version cut out that cool En scanning scene. 2. That dark, eerie atmosphere. Rlly don't get why they brightened the room in 2011. 3. More ominous music. 4. Silva looks more badass removing the poison from his arm here. 5. The cloak is red instead of that weird grey with the photoshop pattern. 6. When Zeno does the rapid punches, you can actually see them. It's just a flash of white in the new version. 7. Silva's final attack seems much more impactful and louder.

[@jelome1989]

Not to mention that rotating background which made it more epic. The 2011 version has 'more' colors due to higher resolution thus appearing to be 'more detailed' and 'better looking'. While I don't disagree with that, there are many factors to consider like choreography, design consistency, positioning and proportion of the face, eyes, and limbs, shadows/shading, hairlines, the creases of the clothes and many more. The 1999 version just ticks all of those. I rewatched this frame by frame and the consistency just doesn't let up. Every frame is just masterfully done, while the 2011 one appears to be rushed. The art has some letups in many frames. Nonetheless, the 2011 one is not bad, it just missed the potential to be better. The action sequence on 2011 is a lot more purposeful and easy to follow not that this one isn't.

[@lampad4549]

Him laughing and moving the Dragon to be chasing Chrollo: For those who dont know, this is still pure Transmutation, despite him being able to make the Dragon-Aura go whereever he wants it: That's because Shaping youre aura, as long as it's still not detached from you, is Transmutation. Detaching it is Emission and then Controlling it would be Manipulation. As long as he doesnt detach it, it's Transmutation (like Bisky training the Boys Perception with her show-off of Number-shaped Aura).

It breaks my heart that this version wasn't the one continued. At least continued in this sense of art and design. I much prefer the 1999 version because it was much darker because of those aspects along with its much more dramatic ost. I think they aimed at a kids audience way too much with the 2011 version. I just don't get the same sense of pacing and drama with it. There's not as much build up to events and it doesn't convey the fun and insane creativity that Hunter x Hunter has as well. Things just feel like they sort've happen unlike in the 1999 version where it felt like things had more impact in the story. I know that in the first place Hunter x Hunter isn't supposed to be that dark, but the 2011 version just is way too light-hearted because of its change in art style, soundtrack, and overall pacing in its direction.

[@firstwavenegativity6379]

hunter x hunter(2011) is light-hearted????? Got vs Pitou? Kurapica vs Uvo?? Pit turning into a corpse puppet?

The beginning is lighter compared to the 1999 version. It does get darker though especially in the chimera ant arc which is one of my favorite arcs in any anime. I like the quality better in 1999.

[@jelome1989]

In my opinion, this is one of the best action sequences in this series, and I dare say in all of anime. The intensity is just over 9000! The action is fast paced - no drag, it is beautifully directed and animated. The swaying of the hair, the details of the hairline, the movement of the hands and head, the panning and zooming out of the camera, all of that combined gives us the best viewing experience of this fight. I rewatched this frame by frame and the consistency just doesn't let up. Every frame is just masterfully done. That rotating background just made it more epic.

I personally prefer the darker color scheme in the 1999 version, the 2011 looked too bright. While the colors are vibrant, I think the murderous and sinister intent is reflected in predominantly darker hues. Plus, I think they relied on too much computer effects in the 2011 version, so the prior version of HxH is more detailed despite being old. I mean when the Zaoldyecks first saw Chrolo standing (on 1:51) in the 1999 version, you can clearly see more expression and facial lines (beside the nose when one frowns) as compared to the 2011 version. The music was darker and scene changes were subtle fades.. very effective. It need not be flashy to be good

[@LordKamina2]

the bright color scheme allows the dark scenes to have even more of an impact, just look at Swindler's Swamp, anyone who whent in thinking it was just another kiddy shonen series had a big surprise

[@JakeObnial]

LordKamina2 Provided there is contrast, but the more recent version is way too bright and... happy lol! I think there was more animation involved in the earlier version too, as compared to the new one that has more computer generated animation.

100% agreed on that. I tried picking up 2011 but I am still salty over the fact they ended the 1999 so early in comparison to the manga then rebooted it. This in its self is the final episode for the series (1999) that is and after seeing that this was the final episode, I came to the realization that animators back in the 80-90's got royally screwed by regulations animation companies and networks were trying to push.

Just came from a second viewing of the 2011 version of this fight and having seen this one for the first time I was more impressed than I honestly thought I'd be. The art remains stylised, but it's toned back giving a more realistic look to the characters - which I find quite appealing. The notable choice of low lighting gives the scene a darker overall tone than 2011, too. Animation was also pretty great - fluid movement, and the hair in particular stood out to me. I think both versions are well executed.

2:09-6:01 of this version is just so epic.. the angles of the fight scene, the music and color is so superior than the new version.

Yeah I find it very clear on what is happening. When they are describing their attacks it correlates perfectly to what is happening on screen. It's not as flashy as the 2011, but I love how they managed to fit in one image/scene.

***** Dude you just ruined it xD Yep they missed that and it was in the manga. Still think the perfect version would be somehow a mixture of the two versions.
