Another splendid episode of HXH.

After the opening, we see knov infiltrating the palace, placing the exits. There are some weird looking trees with people in their fruits???? Wtf??

Knov goes deeper inside. This was tense as shit. Really, really tense stuff. I was on the edge of my seat. I almost jumped from my seat when that chimera ant came out of the door. And the knov handled the situation was perfect. Epic beheading and an epic decapitation. The way madhouse did the scene overall was great too. The way they portrayed it, I could feel what knov was going through. Like when he stepped in the blood. Ugh! The frustration!!!

And then the moment near the staircase when he saw the aura…frekkin epic. By the way, whose aura was that? I reckon it was pitou’s but my friend reckons it was shia’s. and I’m sure that there are people out there who reckon it is the king’s.

Anyway, we get morel luring leol away.

On a side note, I really like leols character design in the anime. They really make him look beast. In the manga, he looked like a wimp. I mean compare this:

with this:

then we have palm’s story. She manages to get into the secretary’s little paradise. We learn about her crystal ball and why she wants a glimpse at the king. Again, very strategic planning from togashi and great story telling.

Then we have palm’s attempts at seducing the secretary and I’ll stop at that.

And then we have the epic scene of knov’s mental breakdown epic sound track and epic voice acting. Frekkin epic. it also showed how strong willed gon and killua are. Really important stuff.

The episode stops at the beginning of morel vs leol. Judging by the preview, day 6 is gonna finish tomorrow. I’m guesing that we have roughly 2-3 eps left till the 10 days finish.

On a side note, and this is not directly related to the episode. On the new section of the HXH wiki, a review of the episode gets posed from a site called the fandom post. I don’t have any beef with the guy or anything, but I don’t think his reviews deserve to be on a HXH wiki…don’t judge…read on and I’ll explain why

I understand how everyone has personal opinions. But the thing is, I don’t think the author of the post is a big fan of HXH. Everyone can agree that the last two episodes were magnificent. Well, the fandom post gave them a C+. look, I don’t have anything against him, but I don’t think he has understands HXH properly. I didn’t mind his reviews until I saw him giving a Naruto episode a B+. the problem? That episode was 90% filler. The plot didn’t move forward a bit. Nothing happened. And half of the canon material was reused animation from the previous episode. And this guy has been complaining about the pacing of the HXH episodes lately. I mean, its really obvious when someone is bias. He has only given an A to one episode since I’ve been reading his blogs

Okay fine, even if it is his honest personal opinion, one of the purpose of a HXH wiki is to promote it and show how awesome the series is. By putting his reviews there, a random person might come to the HXH wiki, wanting to know more about the series. He sees an episode review. He reads it and it’s a shit review. Alright, not every episode is perfect, he might think. He reads five more reviews and all of them are complaints and not really good reviews. That’s a bad thing. He will expect the best reviews to be posted on the wiki, not the shittest.

<p class="MsoNormal">I mean, compare this review which complains about the pacing of this epic episode:

<p class="MsoNormal">http://www.fandompost.com/2013/11/27/hunter-x-hunter-episode-106-anime-review/

<p class="MsoNormal">with this review that truly shows the greatness of HXH:

<p class="MsoNormal">http://www.lostinanime.com/2013/11/hunter-x-hunter-2011-106.html

<p class="MsoNormal">the second review that I posted, in my opnion deserves to be on the wiki news section more than the first. I’ve been reading his reviews for quite a while and he really understands HXH. He has only had one problem – a matter of personal opinion – and that was when killua took illumi’s needle out. Other than that, I think he said that HXH is his favourite shonen anime. It took over his other favourite which was FMA.

<p class="MsoNormal">Sorry guys, I said I was gonna tell u my fave opening but I’ll try and do that next week. This thing had really been bugging me for a while. I couldn’t stand someone talking trash about great HXH episode
