This review is for anyone who has seen the original series before the original. On the insistence of a friend, I binged the new series. I became addicted and went back to finish the originals, and here I am. All I have to say is: if you're here after watching the original series and liking it, you're not going to be disappointed. The Yorknew/Phantom Troupe Arc is easily one of my faves, so perhaps this is a little biased. However, it's hard to refute the fact that the plot is anything but well-written. The story is structured in a genius way where all logic isaddressed and cleverly worked around without overpowering any character or group. Everything is painfully realistic, making any victory by the protagonist even more satisfying. In addition, it's fast-pasted enough that it's captivating but not so fast that it's difficult to follow. On the other hand, the art has clearly evolved since this was made, but it's not like the art takes anything away. It's easily evident how much effort was put in into animating this OVA; it's apparent in every aspect, really. There were some moments that took my breath away despite it being old and 'grainy' animation as some refer to it. The background music is all very impressive, but I wasn't a very big fan of the opening. In fact, I personally feel like it took away from the profound and vengeful feel of this arc. Oh boy, the characters are easily some of the best I've seen in anime. They are complex with varying sides to their personalities, flaws, and strengths that make them feel like real people. Even if you have seen the reboot, this is still a must-watch. I, for one, will never get tired of seeing Kurapika's efforts come to fruition as he takes out his anger. Especially with the complexity of his character, it's really a spectacle to see. Overall, you will not regret watching this, even if the reboot is adapted almost exactly. It's a phenomenal series without a single dull moment. I would recommend this if you: are a Chrollo/Phantom Troupe/Kurapika junkie (me), like intricate revenge plots, like the original HXH, liked the HxH reboot, liked the York New/Phantom Troupe Arc I would NOT recommend this if you: dislike Chrollo/Phantom Troupe/Kurapika, don't like any of the other HxH adaptions or arcs, don't like the Yorknew/Phantom Troupe Arc Have a great day everyone!

-One of the best anime arcs ever, without a doubt- The mere fact that the center of attention is not on the main character already shows how interesting this arc wants to be. Kurapika having a somewhat selfish focus goals makes the anime much darker and gives a "gangster" and a social human style, related to auctions, family and factions fighting or hired killers, which is not a common theme in a battle shounen and that's great. One of the arc best parts is the plot relatedmainly to antagonists who are developed from their personalities, which shapes their skills and goals, especially the leader of the organization. It reminds us of how well Togashi (the author) developed Nen (spiritual energy) and how he has full influence on all natural and human aspects in the hxh universe, from the most noticeable to the most succinct. All groups of characters, once separated, can have scenes and cause very interesting situations when they eventually interact, even though they are so different and have such different goals, showing how Togashi knew how to develop his characters and their emotions well and how they should act at each different event. I also give a lot of value to the opening music that has a more menancolic style and fit very well with the arc style, something that would not be so good with the previous "Ohayo" (as much as I like it a lot) that has a much more style adventurous that the criminological and psychological drama of this arc. Finally I repeat that this is one of the most well developed battle shounen arcs that I could have contact with, so much that I would risk indicate it out to someone without necessarily having watched the previous arcs (which would probably destroy all hxh experience for him, but he still will love it for sure).
