    pretty good ig

    So here we have the hyped up Jeju Island finally come and it was pretty good. The fights and choregraphy was nice as usual, though I wish the Goto-Jin Woo fight could have gone on for a bit longer since that was the highlight moment of the episode.

    The healer guy just appearing felt a little sudden though and could have been set up more. And then BOOM! Fire, cool animation, ants getting ripped.

    I think what's interesting about the show, is that deep down we know that the S-ranks aren't strong enough and Jin Woo is gonna have to show up. This goes against his happiness now, as his mother is cured and there's no longer any reason to fight.

    So he's gonna have to, otherwise the nation will fall under attack and he's gonna have to fight to protect his loved ones anyway.

    So overall I think the show's pretty interesting and the fights are good even though~

    Its not the most deep and compelling piece of fiction of all time and the quality of episodes does vary significantly from COOL FIGHTS to boring slice-of-life featuring characters that no one cares about. The whole ant thing also kinda rips off HxH as well.

    But I don't care and cool fights are enough for me. Last but not least, HOLY dam THAT ENDING WAS CRAZY.

    9/10.

    Nooo they ruined the best scene :(

    Disappointed with how the scene where they got stopped was animated and directed. You can feel Jinwoo's superiority much more in the manhwa, and the scene is way more devastating and impressive... such a shame. And most importantly! Why didn't they include the moment where Goto literally freaks out, sweats buckets, and says he literally saw death and thought it was his end? Maybe a choice from the writers, but still a shame. Can't wait for next week, though! However, I also understand the intention of maintaining a fast and dynamic pace, but sometimes I feel like they skip a bit too many scenes while keeping others that aren't really interesting. That's just my opinion !

    ....

    The episode was great it had great animation but when jin woo grabbed gotos hand I wasn't satisfied because he looked way better in the manhwa than in the anime

    manhwa jin woo looks way more handsome than the anime jin woo

    I would like it if the character design of jin woo would look a little bit more like in the manhwa

    In the manhwa he doesn't have a sharp chin and the hair isn't the same

    And the outfit isn't the same too

    In the manhwa his coat or whatever that is is black but in the anime its blue

    Dont get me wrong the animation is great

    But look for yourself and compare anime jin woo and manhwa jin woo.

    Only good

    This episode really had potential it could've gotten a rating of 9.5 minimum if they hadn't ruined it it's obvious it was on purpose bro the moment when Jin woo stopped goto was way cooler in the manhwa as it his aura and superiority go check for yourselves even the moment when he interfered to save cha hae in bro it was waaaaayy better in the manhwa the animation is great in this season we have to appreciate that but they have to stop deleting some scenes as a manhwa reader I can feel and see the difference also tbh the fights are better in the anime's but some scenes are better in the manhwa.

    Amazing Episode

    The Fight of Jinwoo vs Goto was actually greatly adapted in The manhwa they made goto seem really weak, now they made him and all other s rank hunters really seem Powerful i always underestimated them cuz they seemed really weak in the manhwa even tho they aren't so that was really amazing to see, Plus the long awaited reveal of beru is finally here im really excited for the next episodes now more than ever, not to mention the ending of the episode was Insane the animation studio did not hold back the gore so was really cool and terrifying to see how instantly she was gone, but the cliffhanger was a tough one but still acceptable, All an all A 10/10 episode for me.
