Hunter X Hunter Anime is Back!

Wow! I just got the news today that Hunter x Hunter is back on Anime! Yeah! I was playing tinier me and I saw a diary entry from kayoru about her review on the 1st episode of HxH 2011. I was surprised! It's been a while since I checked any news about HxH. Turned out, MAD House is re-making the Hunter x Hunter anime which was first broadcasted in 1999. The new anime will be made from the very start. For old timers it might be difficult to watch another version of HxH from the start but for me, I like it. ;) Why? Because I just finished watching Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and I like the re-make. It's because they followed the manga in making that anime. And I would love to see Hunter x Hunter in the exact point of view of the manga. :)

My Review: Hunter x Hunter 2011 Episode 1

Not bad for the first episode. But they did remove some parts from the first version.. Anyways, my immediate comment will be for the new seiyuu's.. Because the seiyuu for Gon and Kurapica sounds more girly.. I know the seiyuu's are usually always girls but atleast I want to hear them boyish to fit the characters. Gon did sound like a little girl.. And Kurapica even sounds like Lelute (one of the tower prisoner from the hunter exam). Kinda disappointing really.. Even Mito and the ship captain sounds funny.. Anyways, this is just me missing the old seiyuu from the first HxH anime.. I just hope Killua wont sound girlish too. Lol.

I like the graphics now. And the new opening and ending songs are very different from the first anime but I guess that is to cater the generation now. When I listened to it a couple of times I already get used to it.

Looking forward to seeing the next episodes..


PS. I also just discovered that Yoshihiro Togashi already started making manga again. Though I haven't read the new chapters (311 onwards), I'm really excited about it. I plan on reading the manga again this time from chapter 1. To refresh my memory. ;D
