Koby Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Viz Media confirmed earlier today that their new English dub of the Hunter x Hunter (2011) series will be airing on Toonami and that it'll be here on April 16th! Synopsis: Hunter x Hunter (2011) is set in a world where Hunters exist to perform all manner of dangerous tasks like capturing criminals and bravely searching for lost treasures in uncharted territories. Twelve-year-old Gon Freecss is determined to become the best Hunter possible in hopes of finding his father, who was a Hunter himself and had long ago abandoned his young son. However, Gon soon realizes the path to achieving his goals is far more challenging than he could have ever imagined. Along the way to becoming an official Hunter, Gon befriends the lively doctor-in-training Leorio, vengeful Kurapika, and rebellious ex-assassin Killua. To attain their own goals and desires, together the four of them take the Hunter Exam, notorious for its low success rate and high probability of death. Throughout their journey, Gon and his friends embark on an adventure that puts them through many hardships and struggles. They will meet a plethora of monsters, creatures, and characters—all while learning what being a Hunter truly means. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moodkiller Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 @Pikanet128 - according to Koby, this will take around 3 years to complete if they stream 1 episode a week... so when do we start? lol (just kidding, I'm not doing this) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burntodisc Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 The complete series has been out for ages and the torrent has been done. Just search for it elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the 2011 version... not the original. This is the first dub for this series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Moodkiller stated, you're talking about the OLD series. This is clearly stated to be the new 2011 series which has NEVER been dubbed.

rockhoundhigh Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Watched the sub like twice all the way through but I don't know how I feel about this. Wonder if the dub can hold a candle to the original? Either way I'm at least glad that Hunter X Hunter will finally get some proper western exposure given all the love people have for Yu Yu Hakusho. Definitely one of the smartest shounen series out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely one of the smartest shounen series out there. We got to hear a short clip on Twitter. Leorio sounded horrible, totally miscast. Gon we didn't hear enough of to say. The rest sounded okay, but it was an extremely short sample. Definitely not as good as the dubbing they did for the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warlord8 Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Im on ep 24 or 25 if the subbed version, and liking it so far. Since its a long series, i dont think i can wait for the dub haha. One episode a week is too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryptic Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I've watched the first episode. I'm not really liking it after completing the sub. I'm not a dub hater, but some of the voices just don't match (like Leorio's). But 3 years... wow lol. I have seen a couple people releasing episodes weekly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
