The nen fish thing is used fairly rarely I think. Maybe even just once. I still need to watch the Chimera Ant arc, and the character with the fish only really showed up during the York City arc up to that point.

HxH gets fairly graphic, though the extent varies based on which anime you watch, or whether you just go for the manga only (manga tend to show more, so long as the artist is up for drawing it properly).

The 1999 anime and 2010 anime both start out a little tame then open up with time (especially once 1999's anime hits the OVAs). The 1999 anime tends to actually be little more graphic, while the 2010 anime ends up showing more blood (and in larger quantities). To use an example in Greed Island, an unimportant unnamed fellow gets killed by a bomb attached to him. In one version he is face up on the ground with a giant chunk of his stomach missing and the shape of bones visible on the sides of the hole, but it seems to be mostly cauterized. In the other version he is face down in a big pool of blood.
2011 is the only one that goes farther than the Greed Island arc, but it rushes a HUGE amount through some of the earlier arcs.
