Where To Watch 1999 Hunter X Hunter
- #2
Watched the commencement 4:
Episode i - There'southward a lot to compare when it comes to the fine art and way of both versions solitary. The 1999 version has a darker colour palette with improve utilise of tones and some more realism in characters' faces, whereas the 2011 version has a more distinctive artstyle and uses its more vibrant, hyperbolised style to make information technology seem on the surface to be a lighthearted run of the manufacturing plant Shonen in order to provide some juxtaposition when it comes to its darker subject field matter and more than unique ideas. Overall, I'd say the 2011 version is superior in terms of visuals for those reasons.
For the story within the initial episode though, I'd say the 1999 version is significantly better. The inclusion of Kite helps provide a better basis for what a Hunter is and is capable of too as more reasoning as to why Gon wants to be one like his dad. Mito is far meliorate in the '99 version as well with her desperately trying to finish Gon treading the same path equally his male parent before conceding he is capable of his own choices in life, whereas her 2011 self didn't fully display the protesting against Gon's desire. The familial change of Mito to being the sister of Gon's mother rather than Ging's cousin seemed fairly pointless though. I imagine this version was trying to add extra stimulus to why Mito would fight Ging over custody of Gon after his mother's death, but I wouldn't say the idea of her having grown upwards with Ging and his abiding absenteeism for his own ideals gradually chipping away at her perception of him is any bottom a route for her graphic symbol history.
Despite that, I wouldn't say it outranks the 2011 in every unmarried manner. As I already said, the lighter tone of the remake makes the afterwards revelations and change in tone have more impact besides as seeing Gon struggle after having initially been presented every bit basically an unstoppable strength in the initial several episodes, compared to the 99 version providing him a lot of trial and error to succeed from Twenty-four hour period 1 lessening that impact, making catching the Primary of the Swamp without difficulty a better establishing signal for that. That said, I tin can capeesh the 2011 version omitting those parts from its commencement episode to fit improve with its tonal progression, with the master problem being not revealing them in a flashback properly.
Episode 2 - This episode does a good task showing Leorio'due south physical capabilities, though it'southward non every bit though the Hunter Examination wouldn't provide several instances to show his more than just an average Joe. The episode is overall just filler when because things such as Leorio's desire for money and Kurapika's motivations would just exist revealed in the following episode anyhow and Gon'southward power to bond with animals would accept many other points to be established. The thought of his perception of what a Hunter is existence shaken could have been interesting, simply the Hunter being revealed to be a fake makes it overall pointless. Also, I don't know why Gon was so surprised at the Foxbear not being as gentle as Kon when the latter'south parent nearly killed Gon 
.
Episodes 3 and 4 - These can both exist placed in the same category of being slow paced and padded compared to the 2011 version, being quite inferior to episodes 1 and 2 of that. The just major inclusions in Episode 3 were Gatso'southward fight scene and the imagery of Ging, neither of which were necessary when the former doesn't fully prove the capabilities expected of those taking the exam also as what we'd already seen of Gon and the latter would have the idea of how much Gon is like his father repeated ad-nauseam all throughout the series anyway.
The increased office of Mashu in this version was not only pointless, but contradictive. How exactly would Leorio non be immediately suspicious of the guy who told him to get on the motorbus ride that both sent him the incorrect way and near killed him? Moreover, how did Leorio even get to the group so quickly with the head showtime they had and was able to find there exact location without anywhere shut to the senses Gona and Kurapika have? 
The test and Gon'southward attitude after it in both versions is interesting to think near. Perhaps this was foreshadowing to Kurapika existence forced to pick betweeen vengeance and saving his friends during the climax of the Yorknew Arc?

Mayhap Mashu was GASLIGHTING Gon and the others to take it slow so he could suddenly run way past them and set his :trapcard trap cards
Could've actually fit in line with what'due south shown if he did absolutely cipher exterior of getting a piggyback from Gon 
.
Exactly what I thought also. Too bad they didn't flashback to this moment in any of the three versions of the Yorkshin arc (similar to how Galu doesn't wink dorsum to when Kuririn made him hope him the next time Vegeta came back to pick a fight with them, Galu would blow him abroad at full power, when Vegeta went Majin and did simply that).
Kind of disappointing, simply I guess the argument that it was so long agone that Togashi and Toriyama either forgot near those foreshadowing moments, or didn't look the readers to call up that far back could exist made.
Or the 3rd selection that these bits of foreshadowing were ones where calling them out may have detracted from the payoff in the mangaka's eyes past making information technology also obvious. It's not as if it's the only moment where Togashi implemented subtle foreshadowing subsequently all, because he'd implement it in fifty-fifty less noticeable ways later on (eg. Netero refraining from using the same limbs he'd lose against Meruem during the volleyball game against Gon and Killua).
- #seven
He refrained from using both the arm and leg that he'd lose to Meruem though, something a fleck as well similar to be pure coincidence on Togashi'southward part. The volleyball game is also 1 in which Netero seemed to savour toying with and constantly defeating the boys which further ties it to the Meruem fight in which some of the darker implications of his character's have on morality are brought to lite.

Episode 5 - Information technology's become quite credible how better the pacing was in the 2011 version, with the events involving the Kiriko merely taking up around one-half an episode in it as opposed to the full episode here without anything being lost. I volition say the darker palette of the '99 version makes the art more befitting the tone for this episode though, since the major utilize of shadows helps reflect the idea of the hidden danger with the Kiriko's test.
As for the episode in itself, it does a good chore at presenting a lot of character traits that would become of import shortly enough such as showing Leorio's medical expertise too every bit Kurapika attacking the Kiriko regardless of whether it was Leorio or not for non staying at the cottage showing how much he values sticking past his convictions unwavering, something that would become important in the Yorknew Arc. Gon noticing the very faint differences betwixt each Kiriko farther shows his enhanced senses, perhaps foreshadowing his status every bit an Enhancer.
Episodes 6 and seven - The Offset Phase of the Hunter Exam was done a lot better overall in the 2011 version, particularly in blitheness and movement with Satotz'due south more than exaggerated and flamboyant walking movements from the manga beingness retained to add a bit more than grapheme to him (and such befitting of someone with his design). The decision to change Tonpa's actions too comes off equally very strange when considering making his villainous personality apparent to Leorio would crave heavy rewriting of his function in the Third Stage. Non sure how the '99 anime will handle that, simply it'southward a trouble if cipher nigh it was changed to fit this departure in character dynamics.
The sap causing hallucinations of people'due south fear was a decent idea that fits with the fantastical nature of the world constantly displayed throughout the arc. I'd say Kurapika finding out well-nigh Leorio'south truthful motives through this cheapens the discovery compared to the manga and 2011 version though in which Leorio choosing to reveal it helps bear witness the trust he'south gained towards Kurapika from all they've endured thus far. At least the hallucination shows more of Leorio's groundwork and lifestyle besides equally expands on his guilt though. In short, the manga and remake accept a better reasoning for Leorio'south reveal, whereas the original anime has more of an expanded characterisation of Leorio.
Equally for Gon and Killua's showtime meeting, I'd say both versions did well in their own way. The '99 version's slower pace gives a lot more than time to show Killua gradually becoming interested in Gon's attitude, whereas the 2011 version'south more than casual and quick bonding is more than plumbing fixtures for two children, particularly one with Gon's simplicity.
Episode viii - The only major differences I'd cite between the 2 versions is Killua's caption virtually Hisoka. I'd say the 2011 version in which he just mentions Hisoka's bloodlust is amend than the '99 version having him say how he and Hisoka are the aforementioned in being devious and Gon will discover presently enough. It is plumbing fixtures with the reveal that they'd both be Transmuters besides every bit Hisoka's later Nen personality reading that'd foreshadow some of Killua'southward later internal conflicts, but it's far as well on the nose compared to the latter version for little reason when there were already enough hints to suggest in that location was more to Killua than meets the eye (eg. his physical abilities and carrying a flop).
Differences aside, possibly the near important scene of the episode is the conversation between Kurapika and Gon of how Hisoka would've sensed some similarity between them and him. It possibly foreshadows not but Kurapika's afterwards alliance with Hisoka in Yorknew, but definitely helps highlight the similarities between Gon and Hisoka's self-serving motivations that would become apparent as the series went on. Shame the older anime never got a chance to accommodate the Chimera Ant Arc to fully follow up on that.

Episodes 9 and x - Not much to say in terms of major differences or the events in full general beyond the pacing being better in the 2011 version. I'd say the colour palette of the Great Stamp work meliorate in the remake too due to the typical pink colour being better in showing them every bit pigs whereas the black colouration in the '99 version makes that quality less pronounced due to how their snouts differ from regular pigs to the point they can seem more rhinoceros-similar in the original anime. The horned bear was a overnice addition and helped showcase Menchi's skills, though the 2011 anime had a better display of her general knifework.
Episodes 11 and 12 - The Anita plot line is kind of a mixed handbag. On one mitt, her presence helps showcase the difficulty Killua has in running from his past that will come back to bite him later with Illumi equally well every bit the change in his motivation for forfeiting confronting Netero existence a squeamish bear upon (even if the absence of the Chimera Ant Arc in this continuity makes information technology far less relevant for afterwards arcs). The reveal that Anita'southward father was far from benevolent helps bring in the more greyness morality the series is well known for rather than the simplistic take it could've had of "assassin human being bad." On the other hand though, the more detailed display of Killua'southward capabilities and earlier fleshing out of his groundwork to both the audition as well as Leorio/Kurapika respectively earlier Fob Tower makes him oneshotting Johness far less surprising to both. Gon partially wanting to win to non make Anita mad also seems a bit inconsistent with how his morality would be presented later on every bit he's characterised as fighting for someone else when they are either function of his circumvolve of friends or important to someone in at that place, so he probably shouldn't have been concerned nearly doing and then afterwards she attacked Killua. Killua's monologue to himself in a split personality manner is interesting on the surface, though does break the "show, don't tell" rule a fair chip and isn't actually consistent with how his internal conflict would be subsequently characterised. On the discipline of Killua, I vastly adopt his voice in the 2011 anime in which information technology ofttimes presented a mature aspect that sold the idea he wasn't a normal child a lot better whilst even so having enough range to fully display his more than immature moments.
The lack of changes involving Tonpa farther brand out how the early heel turn and reveal of his true motives to Leorio was a detriment to the character dynamics, with Leorio not even bothering to call out or go against his "communication."
One affair I definitely do prefer in the '99 anime for this portion though is the tones for the volleyball game being without any artificial lite to make the dark palette more fitting every bit well as the setting more than distinct. As I've already mentioned, information technology was a overnice detail/foreshadowing on Togashi'southward part that Netero avoided using the same arm and leg in the volleyball game that he'd later lose against Meruem, peculiarly considering the latter would consider their fight a "game" of sorts at first likewise. It doesn't mean much for this anime since it'd never comprehend that role, but still something noteworthy.

Episode thirteen - So, the obvious elephant in the room is how little is changed for the grouping'southward interaction with Tonpa despite him having already established himself to Leorio very early on as untrustworthy and purely out to sabotage others. Even though Leorio's attitude is fitting for this and he does get one boosted statement of non wanting to exist with Tonpa, his reaction is very tame when considering this is someone who left him for dead after pretending to relieve him, particularly from someone equally bouncy in his reactions as Leorio; not to mention the shock the group have at learning Tonpa'southward true motivations being very inconsistent. If information technology wasn't already credible, this solidifies the 2011 version of the arc hands being the superior ane as a whole.
Episode 14 - Gon VS Sedokan is almost entirely junior to the 2011 version. Whilst I prefer the warmer textures on the wall of the room in the '99 version as a more than general background, the context of the wind and the difficulty to keep the candles debark makes this lighting a detriment to it. The older anime besides doesn't testify how Sedokan was able to switch the candles that makes his strategy seem somewhat contrived and the lack of dynamic motion or comment on Gon'due south speed when he moves forward to blow out Sedokan'south candle makes him seem similar a buffoon rather than just someone physically outmatched.
I prefer the more natural colouration of Majitani in this version with it being easier to sell that he was a surgically modified homo than the blueish skin he has in the remake. Kurapika's fight with him, however, was washed a lot better in the 2011 version also due to more than dramatic music for the reveal of the spider tattoo, more detail to Kurapika'southward Kurta eyes and ameliorate animation with subtle details such equally the flow of his clothes and hair after delivering the punch. I will say Kurapika's theme in the '99 version is leagues in a higher place its 2011 equivalent though.
The aftermath with things such equally the the consequences of Leorio'due south lack of anonymity was ane of the primeval moments of the series establishing itself as putting more than of a focus on psychological mind games than most other action/adventure Shonen, beingness something that definitely spiced upwardly the Trick Tower portion of the arc from what could've otherwise been a generic series of battles in the aforementioned vein to a proficient percentage of Togashi's previous piece of work.
Episode xv - Not much to comment on in terms of changes beyond Hisoka VS Togari being pretty poor compared to the 2011 anime. The dialogue implying he was a candidate rather than the former examiner previously mentioned reduces the scale of the fight past making it seem as though Hisoka just schooled some nameless fodder rather than someone with significant credentials and him sparing Togari here as opposed to decapitating him in the manga and remake really undersells Hisoka's bloodlust that both versions had harped on about. The early introduction of Texture Surprise in the '99 version is dainty though.
Leroute's design differences in both versions have their strengths. The '99 version is more than realistic in its proportions, whereas the 2011 i is more than stylised and has unique features such every bit a lack of singled-out pupils. Personally, I prefer the 2011 version, not to mention her reveal scene having that entertaining "wow" audio consequence in the remake.
Comparisons aside, the episode does a good job showing Leorio's deductive skills with his choices in the bet being well thought out, making it apparent he wasn't just the "dumb guy" in the grouping or a Kuwabara clone, making it even more apparent how much HxH would differ in both style and quality from YYH.
Episode 16 - This version fleshing out Leroute's background more does a better job in showing her credentials when it comes to psychology. This is one of the few cases in which the slower pace of the '99 anime works in its favour in showing the psychological strain the bets and thinking of what to bet are putting on Leorio. As well interesting to note that Kurapika's explanation on the psychological aspect of Janken may take been what helped influence Gon into making information technology his signature Nen skill.
I prefer Johness' design in this version with the shading making him fatigued in a way similar to the Hokuto no Ken anime to add to his physical intimidation as opposed to the 2011 version making him also make clean. For the scene of Killua removing his heart, both versions are good in their own way. The 1999 version is more explicit with us seeing the heart, but the 2011 version has a lot more than characterisation with Killua being gracious enough to mitt wrap it in a bag to add together to the mystery of it equally well as Johness making a greater attempt to achieve out for it. Overall, I'd say the 2011 anime did that part improve. The Anita filler does hinder Gon revealing Killua is of the Zoldyck family though since Leorio and Kurapika would already know this in this continuity and information technology's doubtful someone with Kurapika's intel on a wide variety of subjects would be surprised at someone of Killua's abilities when knowing of this fact beforehand.

The 1999 version did a poor job displaying it and so, considering it decided to show the blades in the wall behind him and Togari in a shocked country rather than any wounds being present. Would've been a better choice to have just cut entirely after the screen went red.
