I see people on yt or even here (rarely) that say the HxH 1999 anime is better than the 2011 adaptation. How? I've watched the HxH 1999 dubbed anime (Chrollo vs Zeno/Silva fight & Gon vs Hisoka) & it was enjoyable but it wasn't better than the 2011 anime. I'm not even just talking about animation, the 2011 version was just much better. Is it nostalgia that makes people prefer the 1999 anime over the 2011 anime?

It has to be the nostalgia also combined with the character designs.

Nostalgia

Plus some ppl always use the excuse the 2011 animation looks too "childish"

Yeah, I don't know. I can understand the whole Kite backstory and how it was done better in the 1999. Madhouse did too well with the 2011 version, though.

Yes it is nostalgia. I have seen many of those old fanboys that talk shit and flame the new version for nothing.
I don't understand why they complain, when the 2011 has done everything right and improved in every way.

I'm trying to get into it. So please explain to me what's the difference? Do they cover different arcs or something or can I start 2011 and still be able to follow the story properly?

Maybe censorship? Like I've seen people comparing these scenes before...

Watch the 2011 anime, they only "skipped" one scene from the manga & it's not big of a deal. The 2011 anime has no fillers, it only has like 2 episodes that have a recap that cover like half the episode I think. 2011 is really good so I say stick with that & it does follow the story properly.

I can't give you anymore rep. Thanks for the HxH 2011 answer. I'm narrowing down my short list of anime/manga to follow.

If you liked Naruto part 1, you will like HxH. They share their similarities & ofc differences.

Because the new HxH fans are annoying and think HxH 2011 is the greatest anime

Isn't it the greatest anime? :O Lol I guess most people, including myself see the HxH 2011 anime as the greatest anime since it proved upon the manga so much & most people watch the Big 3 animes like OP/Bleach/Naruto and compared to that, the HxH 2011 anime is a masterpiece.

Since i watched Both 1999 and 2011 I gotto say 2011 is better.... 1999 had many useless filler and the dumbest Gon vs Illumi fight ever, literally making Illumi look weaker, anyway the 2011 sticks closely to the manga thats why i like it ~_~.. downside is they dint get to show Biscuit's abilities.. I also love Zoldyck music in this version and mainly music

You clearly havent seen Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood...and DBZ shits on it

P.S
Cowboy Bebop is known as "The greatest anime in the world"

You really need to express your horizans a bit...

No bro, he's right. I've watched 65 anime's in total including Brotherhood and DBZ, Hunter x Hunter sh*ts on them. Cowboy Bebob is overhyped, I think it's you that needs to "expand" which is the right word btw, not "express" your horizons.

...But of course, that's just my opinion.

Dragon ball shits on HxH
Naruto Shippuden vomits on HxH
One Piece Piss on HxH

Who has better sales? Ratings? Reception?

Who makes more money? Kishi or Togashi?
Who has more fans? OP or HxH? Who is known as the mangaka who changed history? Akira or Togashi?
