Love that fight. I watched it in the 2011 version that you are seeing yesterday in anticipation for your write up... but I'm actually a bit disappointed.

The actual fight choreography is just as good as I remember from the 1999 version, and obviously it's animated much better, but the fight didn't feel like it means quite as much... especially giving the badge back. Along with Gon stealing it to begin with, Gon giving it back is one of the defining moments of the series for me that I always think of when I think about HxH, but... he just kinda gave it back with no emphasis in this version. Maybe that works in it's own lowkey way... but it's not how I remember it!

This is the fight from the 1999 anime. It's interesting to see how different choices are made both in character design and in how the scene is presented by the characters. Unfortunately, I can only find a decent quality version that goes up to giving the badge back... I don't know where I can find the second half of the fight.

Also, probably TMI, I was a teenager when I watched this and had a huge crush on Machi, the girl that fixes Hisoka's arms. She seems a lot different in this version - her body type seems thinner and her hair was more purple compared to pinkish. 1999 Machi was very similar to Sheena Fujibayashi from Tales of Symphonia who i also had a big crush on and came out at the same time I watched this...but that resemblance seems gone in this version.
