![]() The part where Gon pulls his tricks to get that one big punch against Hisoka is where the original fight slips up. The pacing and physical impact of this battle are far superior in the remake, as well. If Madhouse doesn’t make Gon’s movement as springy and energetic as it is, then this fight would look quite boring. It’s difficult to make this appear dynamic because Gon has to pull all the animation weight in this skirmish. So you have Gon moving around a stationary target. Hisoka is so confident in his superiority to Gon that he’s forcing Gon to prove himself before he’ll give enough of a shit to do anything. The whole point is that Hisoka is so arrogant that he’s not bothering to move while Gon peppers him with punches. ![]() The comparison highlights the massive degree of difficulty in animating this particular part of the fight. ![]() It’s not badly animated, mind, but the shortcuts are obvious after seeing the superior battle. Where the remake brute forces its way through the fight with awesome animation and sweeping camera movements, the original employs far more (and far more noticeable) directing and editing tricks to simulate the speed and movement of the battle. Every movement is impressively detailed every strike has a proper sense of heft to it. You can feel Gon exerting every ounce of energy and power in his limbs in the attempt to penetrate Hisoka’s defenses. Obviously this is a pivotal part of the story for Gon, and Madhouse goes absolutely batshit with the fluidity and kinetic energy of Gon’s fighting style. The first large difference is the sheer amount of animation power put into the two versions of the fight. That’s the gulf between the two depictions of the battle between Hisoka and Gon. In wrestling terms, think of it as Hulk Hogan (the remake) against the Brooklyn Brawler (the original). This week’s episode, however, is a clear case of the remake utterly destroying the original. The points where the Hunter x Hunter remake has outdone the original have been few and far between, even though the remake is a solid show in its own right. ![]() If you didn’t think I would lead off with this image, then you definitely have not been reading this blog long enough. ![]()
