I don't really mind filler in anime, and especially in this case because Gon's character and past were never explored that much in the manga, at least in the early chapters. I was also really surprised after finding out a character was left out in the early parts. For me, it's a significant change as their meeting and conservation was also part of the reason that solidified Gon's goal of becoming a hunter and finding his father. | |

Yes, it has some non-canonical stuff, but it is all really good and adds a lot to characterization. Besides, I'd rather have extra stuff than leave out a major character for 70-odd episodes, which 2011 does. What's the opposite of filler? "Drainer"? One such non-canonical scene is one of the best, almost silent, expository scenes in anime. If you've read through phase 3 of Hunter Exam, take a look at the first 11 minutes of 1999's episode 24. Gon is still paralyzed ... | |
| Dec 19, 2018 at 13:02 | comment | added | W. Are | @RichF Yeah, it sure is. I just started reading the manga last week (haven't gotten around to watching the anime yet) and after looking up differences in the 1999 and 2011 anime from the manga, I feel like the 1999 anime is more faithful compared to the new one. They probably thought some of the changes made in the 2011 anime are small and would go unnoticed, especially those that they probably thought would not affect the plot significantly. Why they would change details like these, when they could just follow what the manga depicts in the first place, is a mystery to me. | |

At TC 14:53 Kurapika is holding Majitni up by his chin, and the latter manages to get out just, "Okay! I...". He did not say, "I surrender!". It seems weird that the 2011 version would show that he did. | |
