On the topic of HxH 2011, holy shit was I really annoyed with some of the episodes I watched a few days ago on journey to catch up to the series. They were the ones that were in slow motion for a very long time and where 10 seconds had passed in two episodes. It was obnoxiousness and so was the narrating throughout the whole thing. Things are better now though and seeing Gon become incredibly angry was both horrifying and fantastic at the same time. If you couldn't tell, I'm referring to the Chimera Ant Arc.
Been also watching the HxH OVA that came out before the 2011 version. Ehh, after watching the 2011 version, I'm not too big on it. You still have the good characters and for the most part the same plot points, but it just lacks charm and is really dull. It also feels like they're trying to be a bit too realistic, which doesn't really work with the series since it's a Shonen Jump title with some crazy fighting and powers.
