wait now i'm suddenly confused...
is everyone at risk of dying because killua might not be able to fulfill the 3 initial requests to make the wish... Or the 3 requests that come AFTER the wish?
Ok so the way to go about getting a big wish and not having to deal with the consequences of a big wish is to resolve the previous three demands, get your big wish, and make someone not connected to you at all take care of the next three demands.
Illumni thinks Killua won't do it that way though and will do it "out of order". He's afriad Killua will make someone else (not connected) resolve the previous three demands, wish for Killua's the big wish, and then Killua himself will take care of the next three demands. Therefore if the wish is "I want Gon back to normal", Killua's demands will be impossible and everyone/a lot of people who have come into contact with Killua will die.

Yeah, judging from the last panel, Killua is prime to get his wish. However, the real problem is how they have to deal with the three NEW request after gon is alive again.
Option 1) Fail 4 requests, Killua dies, 10000 other people will die which is basically everyone who has ever come in contact with Killua. This is not going to happen because the implication is that almost every single character introduced in HxH so far will die.
Option 2) Somehow fullfill three impossibly difficult requests
Option 3) Kill Alluka after Killua gets his wish, but before Alluka makes the next set of demands. This is the option that Illumi wants, but Killua will most likely not let him.
I am curious just how far Kanmaru Killua can take the fight to Illumi/Hisoka. He could stand up to a Royal Guard with that thing turned on even if he did no damage, so escaping with Alluka isn't impossible.

Damn it's amazing that a couple of weeks ago we were stuck with the terrible ant arc. Shit's getting too interesting now.
Ant arc wasn't too bad after rereading it.
It's mainly that we just got a zillion hiatuses over like 5 years

Agreed. I just read through all 323 chapters of Hunter x Hunter for the first time last week. The Ant arc was, actually, pretty great. The ending wasn't bad either. I think most feelings of negativity toward it will only come from people who actually read it chapter by chapter as it was released over a period of years.
The only thing I didn't like about the Ant arc was how strong the ants were, given that they'd only existed for a few weeks/months. It just took too much to kill them. If you think about it, Gon was quite possibly stronger than every human on the planet for a few minutes while he battled Neferpitou. It just felt too early in the series for that kind of strength.

For me it's kind of the opposite. I couldn't understand why people were dissapointed with the Ant art until the last couple of chapters, and then I remembered just how GOOD togashi can be and the ant arc was simply not representative of the best he can do.

I think it's getting better now.

He sacrificed hell of a lot to gain the strength for a short period of time, I think it's quite appropriate...
What bothers me most if why Netero didn't invite at least 2 or 3 of the Zodiacs for a bit of "fun"... They couldve fought the 3 Big guys. I guess he wanted to introduce his friends now and didn't think of it before he decided with only the 4 nublets.

god i loved the ant arc... i do agree that the ants may have been really really strong, arguably too strong, but if it leads the story to such an interesting place, so be it!

I'm not convinced that's a real scan yet.
That said, this is what it says:
Panel 1
Killua: Hisoka...
Panel 2
Killua: Leave Alluka.
Panel 3
Killua: Return Gon to his original state
Panel 4
Alluka/It: Ai

More specifically...
Anime episodes are simulcast on Crunchyroll on Saturdays at 23:30 EST if you have a premium account. Free users get them a week later. Most "fansub" releases are just rips of the Crunchyroll stream rather than original fansubs.
Shonen Jump, where Hunter x Hunter is initially printed in Japanese, hits newsstands every Monday (except certain holidays). It's usually scanslated within a few days. (MangaStream seems to be the main English scanslator at the moment.)

I just caught up on the anime (granted, it was only five episodes), and I though it was a very accurate depiction. I enjoyed it much more than the previous one.
Specifically, Killua's characterization is accurate this time around as opposed to them trying to turn him into some dark, Sasuke-like elite in the first one.

I already gave up on the remake; it's absolutely terrible.
It's worse in every single way than the original : pace, voices, atmosphere, hair colors (WHY DO YOU KEEP CHANGING RANDOM SHIT LIKE THAT!), plot (where's my fucking sushi?), character development, songs (opening/ending and in the show) and anything else I'm not thinking of right now.
It's like they took HxH and made a version for children with ADD. Incredibly sad, I was looking forward to it so much. Probably my favorite anime of all time; I've watched it several times and read the manga as many times as well.
HxH would not have a following if the original was that bad.
But I won't be watching anymore of this shit. It's worse than how they butchered Toriko (another fun manga that was made into an anime for ADD children).

The original HxH anime was phenomenal, there was really no reason to redo the whole thing from the start. They would've been better off just starting where the last OVA left off but whatever.
The ant arc wasn't bad overall but it just felt really inflated to me, hiatuses aside if you read it out there are a lot of chapters where I felt that minimal to nothing happened.

It is NOT worse than how they butchered Toriko, despite them skipping the sushi part which was kinda dissapointing they're really just saving time (they already showed what kind of character Menchi is without drawing out the whole arc).
What was bad about toriko(spoiled because it's off-topic)
+ Show Spoiler + YOU HAVE A KNIFE AND YOU DO NOT DRAW BLOOD, THE MOVE CUTS THINGS AND THERE IS NO BLOOD EVEN A LITTLE WOULD BE NICE NOT SOME BLACK STUMP GET OUT TORIKO AND COME BACK WHEN YOU REALIZE WHAT KNIVES DO
Anyways, HxH the anime looks promising despite the common fact thats appeared in ALL of the recent manga to anime transitions in where they cater to the younger generation(and a potential US localization) and make it less violent, which was some of the appeal in it I'll admit. For now I'm willing to accept that as I get older I want MORE blood and MORE violence but I won't go to HxH anime for it I'll stick to things like Fate/Zero, Gintama(kinda tame actually) or things aimed at an older audience. You're honestly expecting too much from it considering how late this is coming they've done a good job and the lack of blood is reminiscent to Toriko but the ending theme (that death metal lmao) gives me hope that the series will take the darker parts of it more seriously as it goes along if not w/e I have plenty of other amazing shows to watch.
Also the manga is great that's what I enjoy more than anime nowadays anyways, more freedom for the artists to go crazy.

Glad i ain't the only person that thinks that current anime re-make is just terrible.
It's all the more worse because it's not just bad, it's a bad re-make of one of the best animes out there. The quality gap is almost revolting.

Blood and gore? Who cares.
What's wrong with this anime is everything. The pace : the original is serene. It has awesome music. It builds a great atmosphere as you watch it. As it stands, they jump from story element to the next so fast that you're left wondering what the hell they're trying to do. I am not attached to these characters when I watch this version of the anime. The original had me hooked from the 1st episode, even if it was slower.
Random changes like Hisoka now turning arms into flowers (or was it cards?) or teleporting... unforgivable. Just don't show the blood if it's only for children.
They did the same shit with Toriko. In HxH, you have the original anime to compare it to so it's extremely obvious. But with Toriko, they actually go through things faster and skip more stuff THAN THE FUCKING MANGA! They cut like half the stuff! Unforgivable.
That is not how you tell a story, children's show or not.
