The title: Hunter X Hunter: The Last Mission.
Premiering 12/27/13. Here’s the synopsis:
The strongest Hunters that once existed in the Hunters Association were split into “light” and “dark”, and each walked down their respective paths. The “dark” side begins moving in order to massacre all Hunters! What actions will Gon take when the many crimes of Netero and the Hunters Association are unveiled…!?
While the title certainly invites speculation, there’s no word on whether Togashi is again writing the scenario or whether it represents an attempt to wrap up canon mythology. Stay tuned for more details as they become available.

August 7, 2013 at 4:25 pmIts the day after boxing day for GE but for the rest of us its next summer. That sucks, but it might lift us up if the anime ends before DVD release (supposedly Chimera Ant will be a year long arc and we've just had about 1/3 of that abd the arc after it is supposed to be quite short)

August 7, 2013 at 4:44 pmAlso, this has really been irritating me as I can't find out about it, does anyone know this random anime girl that appears on a lot of anime sites. She has light brown sort of honey coloured hair which has two braids at the front and long hair at the back with a cross hair clip on the right and a ahoge at the back. She wears a school uniform with a white top and red skirt and black socks. I have seen her before and I think she was related to a game that was supposed to be made into an anime or is like a mascot character of the Miku Hatsune level of popularity. I can't stop until I find her identity.

About the movie the concept could be pretty cool… hopefully we'll find out soon if and how much Togashi is directly involved in the script <— in hindsight the scriptwriter bit might explain the slight dip in quality I felt in some parts of PR.

August 7, 2013 at 6:52 pmActually, due to the slow pacing it started with they've only adapted about 28 Chimera Ant chapters, with about 105 to go. The pacing's been picked up to two or three chapters an episode, but we've honestly probably got until at least May or June next year by my estimate.

Flashback time , I guess ?

August 9, 2013 at 1:42 amNo… Gon's involved, so it must be set before or after the Chimera Arc.
Which means this is also probably not canon unless it's the Netero's [spoiler-term] people.
