Which version do you prefer?
I just caught up to this series, (watched all of '99 then switched to '11 where it picked up), I'm enjoying it a lot so far. The fights feel really fresh, plus it's been a while since I've watched a battle shounen.
Personally I feel like they're about equal, though I haven't watched '11 from the beginning so I can't form a complete opinion. Fights feel a lot more dynamic in '99 and the palette is really nostalgic. At the same time, the production values and music of '11 seem a lot better. Gon vs Pitou was the most hype thing I've seen in a long time, even if the Chimera Ant Arc seemed to drag on way too long.
Thoughts? How's the manga?

1999 > 2011
manga > both
manga>2011>not watching at all>99
It's not about preference. The 2011 version is an abomination and should be avoided at all costs. Only newfags and the likes of tumblr (there's a lot of overlap between the two anyway) would enjoy something like this. In any case, just read the manga.
Seems like opinions are really divided. Is there anything to be lost by reading the manga from the end of the CA Arc or should I start from the beginning? Are characterizations or anything
mangled in the shows?

I know, I wanted to create a new discussion though, for fun.

You won't miss any plot point or whatnot if that's what you're wondering, you can continue after CA.

Why do you hxh need constant 24 7 generals?
There are no new episodes. There's almost never any new chapters.
Why keep making new generals constantly?

why do you care?

Ah, thanks.

This isn't intended to be a general though, I just put HxH in the subject name to draw more attention to the subject matter. Personally I think generals are cancerous. I wanted to talk specifically about the differences between the 1999, 2011, and manga versions.
The 2011 version is better for the story but the 99 version looks much better. I don't really like Togashi's art desu so I've been sticking with the anime

>music of '11 seem a lot better
Must be a joke. HxH 99 soundtrack was perfect, it sounded like mystic adventure or dark thriller during Yorkshin

Generals are against the rules and you've been having this same general for years and destroying the quality of the board.
Stop making HxH generals. Your kind is not wanted here.

I'm manga reader and I've only seen some clips on YT from both versions, but it's enough to judge that 1999's Hisoka is way better than 2011. He sounds like psychotic faggot clown, in other words, perfect. Hisoka of 2011 sounds like generic anime bad guy (the othe rones sounds pretty similar, aside of Illumi).
>>161353182
animation wise 1999 had some pretty good scenes but overall I prefer 2011
plus 2011 is the more up to date version, can't go wrong with that.

The only voice that felt notably better in 11 was Feitan's for me.

What? 99 Hisoka sounds like a bar junkie, 2011 Hisoka is an actual flamboyant clown to fit his design.
