| Woah! that bitch is dead! |
     |
| This was... ...pointless. Yes, yes, she camouflaged it with "observation" and what not, but this was just a cooking contest! No relation whatsoever to what a hunter does... and what is it that a hunter does anyway? I wish they would explain what they want with the series already. |
| It was still quite amusing... Especially the bit where everyone just looked clueless and said "What the hell is sushi?" |
 |
| I doubt more than 1 in 300 candidates actually wants to be an Epicure hunter, having a test only one of them has any chance of passing is just asking for a revolt. I don't know how she's going to avoid the lynching she so richly deserves, though I suspect her partner will probably protect her. |
| This episode actually made me laugh a bit, so it's not pointless. |
 |
| Uhhh...Toriko? Gourmet Hunters and such. |
| Seemed a little bit pointless but it was pretty funny so I enjoyed it a bit |
 |
| the big guy was rite, when she gets pissed, her original criticism (chef) comes out, not the examiner criticism . and lol at kuripika, he'll do whatever it takes to not be associated with the other guy, telling him he's useless is like saying to vegeta he's weak, shameful. |
     |
| No way! She can't be serious. I'd understand if it would be exam to become Gourmet Hunter, but as i recall there are many other hunter types and judging applicants by abilities that is essential only to one particular hunter type isn't fair. Or is she just picking a fight? |
| "your no better than the first guy" XD,........ .nice change of pace i guess? |
 |
| Hilarious episode! xD Loved Kurapika in this one! Hisoka was hilarious by the river, too, lol. |
| Not the best episode, but cmon people it was amusing at parts! You cant compare these lighter episodes with the atrocities of popular shounens today! |
 |
| Cooking test...that was a load of crap. |
 |
| Again, no wonder they skipped the sushi bit in the new anime... b-but.. |
  |
| Eh, I don't think the humor from the manga translated too well over here but there were some amusing moments, the biggest ones I recall being exclusive to this version. Mainly, the stuff with Hisoka. Got a big laugh out of his trip to the river after seeing Killua, who prepared the same dish, fail. |

GalekC said: No kidding, this is making me appreciate the 2011 remake even more with each episode.Again, no wonder they skipped the sushi bit in the new anime... b-but.. As for the episode itself, it was amusing but definitely feels dragged out. Hisoka's moments were hilarious, gracefully catching a fish with his mouth and then walking out calmly to sulk when Killua made the same dish as him. |
 |
| Hisoka makes the same fancy thing as Killua and gets all depressed ROTFL (⌒▽⌒) P. amusing, especially the second half. I love how a Japanese-made story has a subplot in which no one knows the japanese thing (but the Japanese). It's super dumb but a kind of dumb I can enjoy. |
 |
| Aws, I wonder why the joker gave up on presenting his sushi._. |
 |
| Yeah.... it TOTALLY helped me in making sushi....... >:( Why'd I even watch this episode!?! I mean Yea I luv HXH but the exam is just....... |
| Everybody complaining about this episode being pointless. Ugh. Who cares if it was pointless. It advanced the character development and gave us a light-hearted episode to laugh at. Comic relief is a welcome occurrence in my opinion. I really enjoyed it! |

on 
| A lot of older fans were complaining in the 2011 discussions of how they missed this and that in the hunter exams etc, etc.. Lol, don't get me wrong, this episode was funny, but it only further cements my opinion that 2011 was the masterpiece of the two. I don't usually watch shows with much stock for animation, but coupled with all the things 2011 did well, it's no contest for me which was more entertaining and engaging based on what I've watched for now. |
| Nothing can happen until you swing the bat. |
| Oh come on, this was great! Hisoka's cooking and Kurapika's reaction when he got associated with Leorio were priceless |
| "The weak get washed away by the tides of fate...The strong drink it up."-Godot |
| This episode made me totally hungry :3 Pretty decent, but it didn't really felt right as a "Hunter" training. |
 |
| What is this? Hell's kitchen with Gordon Ramsey (anime version)??? Hisoka giving up XD That was hilarious! |
  |
| Damn that was boring, overall these exams seem rather pointless. |
| I found these scene and character pointless in 2011 version and I still think they have no value.Like what is the bitch there for?To make a joke about ''small island country'', cooking or just to make atmosphere less tense before introducing Netero?Probably the last one, though it's still not the best way to do so. |
| I hate everyone equally |
| Also, it looks even more awkward and cringe in this version. |
| I hate everyone equally |
    ^ Important Leorio screenshots. ^ Thank me later. |
| Buhara and Menchi are like to extreme opposites, one is very relaxed and everyone passed, and the other is very strict and no one passed. Menchi yells a lot, but she’s sexy. So, no one passed. |
 |
| Pretty funny episode, and of course, Menchi is sexy. |

| this part is very boring for me, way off the focus of the hunter exam |
| ''Touch the darkness inside me'' |
| I love this episode. Its so nice to see HxH funny and light. |
