You wanna know what's funny? The poll about the anime ending would have to get replaced by a new one.

Now, on the solemmnity: I guess this was ultimately unavoidable; Togashi-san just resumed the Dark Continent Arc and it's Implausible for any mangaka to get miles ahead from the anime. I guess I was right after all.

Maybe Megumi Han was enyojing her job for long, so she's probably uspet about not repeating the same routine for the first time in three years.

Myself, I never watched the 2011 series, but I have the solid idea that this one outclassed that one for two reasons: 1) It managed to introduce HxH to newer generations in a fresh manner and with almost no unnecessary dilation and 2) It managed to bring the Chimera ants and the Zodiacs to life for the first time into the franchise. Kudos to Madhouse for their hard work!
