Alrighty, so I picked up vol 1 of the manga, and also want to watch the 2011 series. Hear that sticks closer to the manga. But also heard about it mostly skipping the first chapter, and not meeting a character until 70 eps later or something like that. So I guess long story short, going off the OP this thread digs the 2011 show, how do you feel it compares to the early manga? If I read a bit of the manga (just curious to see a bit of that author's work), then watch the show, will it feel like they're pretty different? And does anybody prefer the manga? And side note, I saw that at least later on Viz censors some violence in the manga with black bars. And I hear the manga is more violent than the anime as well. Also there's always the older anime. Just impressive to see such a long-running work, gotta give props.

Other posters may disagree but honestly just watch the 2011 then supplement with other media as your superfandom suits you. The manga has more stuff and a really cool style and almost psychadelic flow at times, but honestly I think it's easier to appreciate if you already know the story. The 1999 anime also has more stuff and retells things from a different style and mood.

Right on, and my plan it mostly to do that. But, like the posts in the previous pages show what a hero Togashi is, I feel an obligation to read the first volume of the manga first. At least the first chapter. Plus having heard how different it started, with that one character omitted etc. I dig that it seems the path is watching the anime then picking up where it leaves off with the manga. Love a good adaptation. Just pretty curious about how they compare early on and whatnot.

The OP's a bit dated (and a little misleading; plenty of people got into the manga first, and the old anime has its fans and defenders, in stark defiance of my flippant summary), but I enjoyed both the manga and the 2011 show (and the Hunter Exam is still my favorite arc in the series). The manga's art is deceptively simple at a glance, but highly legible and expressive with a lot of personality and some great blocking; and Togashi knows when he needs to go hard, and dials up the detail accordingly. It's rough at times, but mostly in the ways you'd expect for a serial story still finding its footing: characters sharpen or soften or shift over time. In that sense the anime's more polished and consistent, but in the ways you'd expect a massive corporate project with established character designs already prepared. There's the colors as well, but that's simple preference. Some scenes look better in color, some scenes look better in black and white. The anime cuts a pretty important character from the first chapter, who appears in a flashback (but shows up later), but it's never felt like a deep cut to me. It's a good scene in the manga, and tells us a little bit more about Gon and why he wants to be a hunter, but I feel like the anime still effectively communicates the gist of it in favor of introducing all three of the (four) main characters; and when the cut character shows up later, they set up their relationship to Gon just fine. If you're reading the manga anyway, you'll get everything, but when people complain about the anime "Ruining" the first episode, I can't say I'd agree. The manga starts off pretty similarly to One Piece in tone and style, hinting at a world of exaggerated intrigue, only to peel back the curtain and reveal its darker nature. The 2011 anime does likewise, but it's also where proponents of the older adaptation tend to perk up their ears. The 1999 series wears its intentions a little more boldly with a moodier atmosphere and starker artwork (and other little tweaks). Some people prefer this version, and while I'm not one of them, I can see the appeal (and for some scenes, it's perfect). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnqGBBIEZ8M

The first chapter character is whatever, but I will never forgive them for cutting the Sushi test.

Sushi test getting cut doesn’t seem like a noticeable thing until you read the manga and go “huh yeah, this made way more sense originally”. Plus it sort of doesn’t have an equivalent instance of Hanzo being a loving dope, which, um, was kinda important as selling him as a borderline comic relief character for the brutal whiplash at the end of the exams

Bad Seafood posted:Also, since I posted the 1999 and 2011 versions, here's the manga version: I thought the 1999 reaction shot of Killua's face before he crushes the heart looked weird, I'd completely forgotten that for that one panel in the manga he looks like he's drawn by Yoshitaka Amano. I still feel like having the heart in a bag in 2011 was a weird choice (There's not enough shirt missing for it to be that), but giving it back at the end was a better character moment for how Killua wound up than the original crushing.

Also all the little details like Killua's footsteps being quieter than everyone else's, or not making a sound at all, unless he's distressed.

The series was clearly still trying to find itself in the beginning, they changed Hisoka cutting of a man's arms to them just disintegrating into flowers as well.

IIRC they started in an earlier timeslot and had to deal with relatively strict broadcasting censorship, but later got moved to a later timeslot and were allowed to be more gruesome. Which is also why they cut out Kite in episode 1: they assumed they would never get to animate the Chimera Ant arc anyway so it wouldn't matter.

i've always thought giving the heart back was so much better of a moment than just crushing it tbh

The 2011 anime had the benefit of being able to use the designs and style that Togashi settled on towards the second half of the series. Kalluto's glow up in the manga is something to behold.

I also liked him giving back the heart, though I appreciate the composition of the page where he doesn't. I just wish they got to show the heart, but it is what it is.

They started in an earlier time slot, but decided at some point to stop censoring stuff. They only changed time slots I think a few episodes after Ponzu got shot in the face repeatedly.

So, what are the chances are that in October HxH will resume serialization? He seems to have worked on a bunch of chapters as per twitter, and it would match this exhibition.

A guy who recently started working with us had a tab open during a work meeting with "Hunter x Hunter" on it. This other kind of eccentric guy who sorta works with us (is just kind of involved in the informal work meeting discussions) used some strange analogy to nen when talking about some emacs ontology system* and linked to a clip of Netero fighting Meruem. * one of the most confusing things I've ever heard; he had this bizarre system of 3-letter "codes" associated with different concepts and used that to organize and browse his filesystem using an emacs plugin

Just this intense compulsion to "optimize" your hand movement while typing that absolutely doesn't actually work, because a single time of loving up using the convoluted system you developed costs way more time than whatever you save from typing 3 close letters instead of 6.
