Anime HxH 2011: Animation Director List

[Toad]

hmm that is true, But i think madHouse will be able to pace it Very well. it would be a great way to end the chapter here, great cliffhanger and get ppl pumped for Mori's netero fight and beginning of ant palm fight.

I don't think any studio can make a nicely paced episode out of one chapter and 2-3 pages (didnt check..just an estimate). But that would make a good cliffhanger I agree!

 

[GalekC]

I'd like it if the beginning of the

Spoiler

Palm fight

made it into the next episode. I think it'd be awesome if episode 123 contained 291, 292, 294, and 296 (going by its title).

 

[Toad]

there are
chap 287 pg13 to pg17
chap 288 pg1 to pg11
chap 290 pg6 to pg18

left, which adds up to around 2 full chapters.

My estimate was wrong but still chapters lately have been containing 18 pages and episodes have been adapting 2 chapters and 5-10 pages. So that's 41-46 pages, 13 pages more than the material left uncovered before 291 (28 pages). The studio will have to use repeated scenes or a long recap to fit the 20 minute run time.

Hmm that is true too. Maybe they will adapt the start of palm fight(293) into this ep like galekC said

 

[GalekC]

Diivil, you were right!!

O.O
But, that preview...

 

[Diivil]

my guess for ep 123 is that it will cover

chap 203 pg.14
chap 204 pg.9
chap 291
chap 292
chap 295 pg.17 to chap 296 pg.17

 

[GalekC]

^My thoughts, too. I even think most of 291 could be covered before the opening even plays.

 

[Demonspeed]

I don't know Japanese but

Spoiler

At the top it's definitely Komugi, on the wikia, the Kanas are the same.

I used GT and I think it means the Ant arc will end at episode 135.

Does anyone still have a copy of that tweet? He seems to have deleted it.

Edit: Nevermind. I found it.

H×Hの作監も今回で18本目。次の19本目にあたる135話はコムギとメルエムのあのシーンの話。

"This is my 18th time as animation director on HxH. Episode 135 will be my 19th time, which will involve that scene between Komugi and Meryem."

and it was posted along with a picture of

Spoiler

Komugi and the King's last game

.

But seeing as how he deleted it, I assume it was info that he shouldn't have disclosed or perhaps even incorrect.

 

[HybridBloodsZak]

Has Takahiko Abiru recently learned English? He's been responding a lot more to English questions which is surprising

"I heard you tweeted something about the stop of the anime HxH at the 135th episode, but I can't find the tweet, where is it?
It doesn't mean HUNTERXHUNTER ends at episode 135. Please don't worry. It's still going on!

"yeah Mr. ABIRU, if it's okay to tell me did the budget increase compared to when it started because the quality improved
The budget is the same as before

 

[Demonspeed]

So the Election arc is confirmed .

EDIT: Do you think he will give us an answer if we ask him when will Togashi return?

You mean because he said HXH is not ending? Well that doesn't say much but hopefully it's true, and I don't really think they'll stop at the last arc anyway.

 

[GalekC]

Do you think he will give us an answer if we ask him when will Togashi return?

He said that he doesn't know, and that Togashi himself is the only one who would...

BTW, Hybrid - how were you able to tell that Mr. Sawada was part of episode 107, Morel vs Leol?

Red circle is his name

Also there's a program which uploads the credits of anime programs into English I use called Animator's Corner. Does long running shows and season shows

Notes
- Usual names in usual roles
- Events surrounding 306/307 will probably be with Mori's episode considering they've done the big Gon rage moments so far in this arc(95,116) and the pacing just makes sense if it's the usual 2 chap per episode

 

[GalekC]

Well, now - animation's not a concern to me, but I really hope the episode directors know what they're doing for 130 and 131.
