Would you guys say I should watch this if I had seen the older series, or should I just wait until they finish the Greed Island arc, and just hop on from there?

I loved how the Requiem played all the way through the credits.
Well, anyone that's still reading this thread to see your question has obviously deemed it worth watching again, so there's probably only one answer you can expect to get.Quote:

And once again, HXH re-confirms that itīs the best shounen-series. What a fantastic episode, and itīs only going to get better from here.
Favorite line: "The boss has a rule this time" - "what, a rule?" - "go ABSOLUTE crazy"

Hmm... i know that fight wasn't significantly important in terms of plot but it is one of highest level battles we'll ever get to see in HxH so i wish Madhouse would have animated it a bit better.
Not that it was badly animated, it was just pretty meh.
As far as this week's episode goes, it's was freaking awesome. I enjoyed the fighting and Zeno's insta-analysis. Good thing Kurapica didn't get to go in there and die.
The two series are nearly equivalent. Specifically, some things are more exciting in the original, some things are more exciting in this version. I'd give the edge to the original series for the handful of filler episodes they had that were excellent to the point that you don't recognize that they're filler unless you've read the manga. However the superior animation in the second series is not to be ignored. Basically, if you're not a die hard fan, there's no reason to watch anything you've seen before up to this point. That may change in the future, but probably not.Quote:

I would figure any die-hard fan would want to skip the filler, thus making the second series better. I know I sure did back then.Quote:

Filler does not automatically equal "bad".

Great episode. Also wanted to say: Kishimoto totally got the "idea" for Uchiha and Sharingan from HXH and Kurapika and the Kurta clan.
Oh, he stole liberally, and without shame from hxh. The entire Chuunin Exam is a bastardization of the hunter exam, characters included.Quote:

Arc, are you actually implying that Kishimoto didnt totally rip off HXH? Yes, single elements of story-writing occur in a lot of stories. But the similarities in this case are too blunt.

Kuripaka/Gon: Sorry I meant to type Killua/Gon. Yes the rivalry of the pure protagonist with his shrewd best friend is a common throughout shonen genre, but Gon's best friend having an obsessive relationship with a criminal older brother doesn't sound familiar? If not also coming from an elite mercenary family? Weren't the Uchihas the police of Konoha?
The entire chuunin exam arc was probably ripped off the Hunter Exam arc.
And just in case all of that doesn't make things plain enough:
