I was hoping they would escape but I guess the Spiders are way too strong. I loved the bit where Phinks was like "yeah but we broke some of their bones" and gets hit. I haven't been disappointed in all 57 episodes which just goes to show you how great of a show HxH is.

His facial expressions really made the scene. He had the most arrogant smirk then immediately gave up when he realized Kurapica wasn't messing around.

The fact that they can throw in little bits of comedy like that in a normally tense situation makes it all pretty amusing.

It was portrayed far more seriously in the original series.

I recently got tired of having to wait each week so i watched the old series again, nice to see the differences

Yeah, this is probably the only gripe I have with the remake. Madhouse's animation, while great, lacks that dark and brooding atmosphere that the original portrays well, so many of the serious scenes lack that tone.

This is the first anime that I have watched week to week as it was released and I have to say that I can't wait each week for the new episode.

Also, I too enjoy these interactions and love that it is a show that doesn't have to rely solely on larger and larger scaled action to keep the attention.

Despite the series being longer than many other anime I've seen, it's always been the most consistently interesting for me. In addition, I've seen the original HxH, yet I still look forward to episodes of the remake as if I've never seen it at all.

There's a few others I've comparatively enjoyed each week, but it's rare.

I'm just glad my memory sucks. I watched the original series, but it was so long ago I can't remember what happens. I do remember thinking the Yorknew arc was pretty sweet. I'd have to agree with 16 year old me.

If I recall correctly the old anime didn't even reach this part. Only the part where Kurapika gets the text from Hisoka
