Yea that what you get for a rushed start. Also they showing of Ginn to much which gives me the the feeling they finish the anime after the Chimara arc end's and give it a something like Pandora hearts ending. Since the manga isn't continuing any time soon. They should have make Ginn much more mysterious if you ask me. That's why the 90's version is still better.

They fixed things a bit in episode 85 by adding the card and another part of the flashback.

No offense but 99 was a failure of an adaption and your complaint about kite has been fixed as madhouse altered some things but it still makes sense. you just gotta wait and see.

Pretty good episode.
Off to a good start to the Cinema ant arc.
Wow, Kite seems to be awesome dude. Man, Kite mentioning his flashback to Ging makes me wish we can finally see him now.
The ed is a good song. It reminds me of hearing Inuyasha ending quite a bit. Listening to it while relaxing wow cool.

Finally got around to watching this show (started here cuz I've seen the original and can't be bothered watching 100 episodes) and my god, what have they done to the Gon/Kaito relation? o.o
their first encounter in the manga was one of slight disappointment, but also happiness of meeting an old friend, now Gon's meeting a complete stranger? A stranger that saved his life in the past, but clearly never had any dialogue in the past to even know his rescuer's name? Do you see how this change makes this whole thing terrible?

Imo, episodes 76-78 were actually good filler that built on the story while episode 79 (the last "mostly filler" episode) was terrible and dragged things out.

So Ging goes from being an asshole dad who doesn't care about his son to his greatest teacher and support, who has predicted everything in order to make his son the strongest hunter in the world!! But it was an asshole move to not see him just cuz he uses Accompany n is bringing friends... >> so I still kinda hate Ging. but I think that Kite (that's the new guy's name right) is gonna be effin strong!!! And prob almost as good as Ging (I mean come on, if he managed to find him..)!!! So for Ging it didn't matter who Gon goes to as long as he can learn more n be safe I guess..

ohhh I'm gonna miss Buscuit btw <3 I so love her! I hoped to see more of her.. But even Kurapika and Leorio are main characters n they aren't there all the time.. btw I had researched to see who Gon's mom was n someone had this theory that it's Biscuit. But I think she either died or it is Mito-san because Gon has his hunter instincts so he prob knows.. otherwise I can't explain why he is so interested in his dad but not his mom!

Hmmmm really? Do tell more? Is he just shown with the bear scene? In fact I should go and read the first chapter now for myself, but I thought the anime adaptation was following the manga quite closely. Is that not the case??

It follows the manga quite closely.

The main and most important difference is the begining.

Gon meets Kite in the first chapter. He is who tells him that his father is a hunter.

Go and read the first chapter, is worth it.

Gon and Kite's reunion in the manga at this part is a bit different as well, check this also if you don't mind:

Okay now, the new OP visuals are great, but fucking "Departure" has to go.

Oh, nice episode btw, and Ging is definitely the biggest asshole I've ever seen in anime. The only reason I still care about Gon finding him now would be for his son, or anyone to give that bastard the fucking Ko fused sucker punch he deserves.
Also what's up with his ever changing chara design ? Are the animators struggling with him or is it part of his abilities?

Didn't think it was. Actually, the events of this episode are almost entirely different from the manga. Since Kite was introduced from the very beginning there, Gon realized who he was immediately and Kite also never shot anything. Also, the little Chimera Ants were not even present at all.

Still, I liked the scenes with Kite. I don't know what it is, but his character intrigues me more than most of the others we've encountered so far. He's gotta be pretty good to win the world's hardest game of hide-and-seek.

Also, what the crap is that bug-queen-thing?

Looking forward to the arc.

Mmmm, so this is the beginning of that Chimera Ants arc I heard so much, yet knows nothing at all. This will be interesting, I can sense it :)

Kaito looks like a very mysterious character. It looks like he's implicated into something big, a big plan that Hunters must accomplish. And that is related to that ant with teeth we saw. By the way, I never realized that an insect with fucking human teeth could be that creepy xD
