| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Kurapica's overreaction to seeing Leorio naked, along with the ambiguous character design, leads me to believe that 'he' may in fact be a 'she'. But who knows, I could be totally wrong. |
  |
| He's a kid... an 'ossan' just shows up in front of him totally naked. Pedo bear alert? xD |
| I agree with 8gaugebrett. The dude is in fact a chick. But either way, the voice in the english dubs just bugs me. Oh, and the ninja guy in the thong baking in his room just cracks me up! I love that guy. |
| Lol at Kirua. That kid can rip out a beating heart out of living human like nothing, but can be grossed out by simple earthworm or 'scary looking' dead fish? xDDD |
| so why didn't anyone sleep on the blimp? it was large enough and most likely had food and water on it, there was no need to do all that treasure hunting in order to sleep in uncomfortable quarters on an abandoned ship. Also, they wouldn't have been left behind if they'd done that. liked the exercise competition the best out of the roommate skits ;) |
| The bit where Tompa was swapping rooms was funny, I lol'd so hard when he ended up with Hisoka xD |
 |
| he should have kept the pendant, in my opinion. but DAMN, having a whole clan killed for their eyes?! where have i seen that before  |

But who knows, I could be totally wrong. I've been thinking that all along, actually. There was a part during the exam, when they were in the "Tower of Tricks" or whatever it was called, where Kurapica fought the guy who claimed to be from the Phantom Tribe... and took off "his" outer vest thingy. He had a seriously girly figure. Made me doubt that he was a boy. His face is pretty feminine, too. I bet he really is a girl... |
| lol at the martial artists who just wont stop exercising! They have so "much" in common that they are in perfect synchronism! xD |
 |
| Tompa swapping rooms was hilarious, from bad to worse lol. |
 |
| lmao I loved how Tompa ended up with Hisoka XD Also, Gon almost bit Killua in the feet lol |
| The room hijinks in this were adorable. Actually, this whole episode was adorable. Just add dumb episodes like this for filler, not extra melodrama. (Though the extra touch with the Kurta clan wasn't bad.) I wonder if the director/writer played up Kurapika's fem-ness due to to lack of female characters to perv on... had to add in some ambiguity there for ~spice~. It'd be interesting if Kurapika was trans, but pretty sure that's debunked in the manga somewhere. |

That wasn't an extra touch, it was just moved (it was episode 4 in 2011) since Leorio told his story through tree hallucination, Kurapika never got to tell him his story. |

I don't remember them discovering the wreckage of a Kurta ship... or any Kurta memorabilia, actually. Was episode 4 the first phase of the exam, when they were running up the stairs? Been ages since I watched that so my memory's not perfect. :P |

Really fucking stupid that they complained about the sun even though there was plenty of shaded places around. |

| Nice filler episode. They introduced a few minor characters too it seems. I don't remember seeing the guy with the snakes or the girl who wound up sharing his room before. Maybe I just didn't notice them. |

on 
| I loved this episode, too funny all around and it makes me more interested in the other Hunters than our main 4. No way Kurapikachu is a girl, my trap alarm didn't go off, but I am loving his chemistry with Leoreo regardless. |

Maybe I just didn't notice them. They were both in the manga and the 2011 adaption (especially the girl, Ponzu, reappeared later). But this whole island thing is a 1999 original. And the first one which I actually like. The other fillers before felt so artificial and not really good. |
 |
| More or less an inbetween episode, nothing too much... but I do wonder what that ending was all about. |
 |
| Serves you right Tompa... |
  |
| These exams seem so pointless and random. |
| When I saw Kurapica for the very first time, I immediately thought that he was a girl. Learning more and more of the story of Kurapica, I am becoming more and more convinced that Kurapica is a girl who for some reason pretends to be a guy. I haven't watched the following episodes yet, so I don’t know what will happen in the future. |
 |
| Ok, so, a break that is not a break, as I know, these are fillers. So, they’re all alone in the island-hotel, with all the services and everything. |
 |
| There was a very nice opportunity for some shota action, and they didn't go as far with it as they could, but they did show one small moment of foot and leg stuff. I might go ahead and boost the score back to an 8 for now. |
| These "filler" episodes are SO good in this 1999-versions. Feels like it should have been canon. The comedy is fitting and the Kurta-bit added to the story. Would have liked to see more from the bathing girl, though ;> Speaking of girls: They REALLY play up Kurapika as a girl here with that overreaction to Leorio, lol. I remember back then a lot of people were speculating whether Kurapika was a girl or guy. |
| If you haven't watched "Fantastic Children", don't talk about "best anime". Thank you. |
