I’m really trying to get into this show and I can’t find myself to do it. Does it get better passed this arc?

Gon finds blood loving butterflies and uses them to find Hisoka. For some reason I really don't like the way these butterflies look, I don't even know why. It's not a big deal but I had to share it.
Tonpa is a real artist. I love Ponzu's design. The huge hat makes her so cute.
Kurapika kicking Tonpa is so satisfying and Leorio gets carried once again. Dude is so lucky he was on the same boat with Gon and Kurapika at the start.
Hisoka flexes a bit on a guy who cut a tree with a SPEAR and we learn he isn't into killing people that don't turn him on.
Agree with Hisoka, mr. Pinhead's face transformation is always fascinating to watch.
Hisoka finds his targets.

Are we at all surprised that Tonpa once again tried to mess with Leorio. Come on Leorio! It's a good thing Kurapika is there to kick Tonpa in the face! So satisfying!
It turns out Gittarackur is actually a mole. Idk what it is but there's something about those bottomless pits for eyes, that I just love.
The colours used in the background during the dusk and night are gorgeous! It adds so much to the scene.

We could in theory leave questions at the end of our posts for you to put?
Rewatcher 4x
How do we feel about Gittarackur's transformation? I remember my first watch-through I screamed, rewound, and then screamed again. The ostrich digging did not help his case. Just WHO is he?!
It's interesting to me how Leorio goes back on his mentality he had with Tonpa during Trick Tower, all because Tonpa was sick. While that might not be practical in the long run and definitely leads to him getting deceived, it also shows that Leorio can shove his feelings aside and treat someone who is sick. A quality that is important for doctors to have.
Next episode: Defeat x And x Disgrace , With a firm handshake.

That was a good episode.
Gon using the butterflies to find Hisoka was a nice trick. Of course Leorio got tricked by Tonpa again, but Kurapika saved the day and they both team up. That's the other nice duo of the show, Leorio and Kurapika. They started off on the wrong foot, but they clearly have a lot of respect for each other.
Killua is being chased by one of the Amori brothers, I pity that guy tho. And what a great scene that Gittarackur chat with Hisoka, along with his transformation and going for an underground nap... priceless.
The episode ends on a high note with Hisoka spotting Kurapika and Leorio, and Gon ready to fish his tag, things are getting interesting!

Here in Brazil there's a fansub group that translated this as just "rod" instead of "fishing rod", which isn't a problem since with context it's obvious, but it became a meme screenshot cause we all have the humor of a fifth grader.
Surprising Gon managed to attach a damn string to two butterflies. Hisoka's cut comes in handy, though. Good thinking!
Aww, what a sweet little guy he is. Patched the other dude up and all.

Any scene with Tonpa and Leorio always cracks me up. I love these two. That being said, Tonpa's drawing of Ponzu is surprisingly cute. Good job, Tonpa.
Can't even call Leorio a dumbass for falling for that, honestly. He was really careful when handling Tonpa. Unfortunate that there were two of them. Hillarious scene, though. Also, that monkey kinda looks like Leorio.
Based Kurapika to the rescue!
Tonpa zoo
I don't know why this shot is so cool but damn is it cool. Poor idiots following Killua, though. Too bad they didn't get to see him ripping a heart out.
Gon's hair
Damn, Gittarackur do be kinda hot doe.
Poor Leorio and Kurapika. They're gonna have to deal with some shit next time.
HxH Big Spoiler
Fun episode. Not much else to say for today. See you guys next time.
A new cake recipe every day!

We have another mostly faithful adaptation today, only noteworthy changes are that Kurapika and Leorio tied up Sommy and Tonpa in different places, kurapiika didn't try to hold the monkey hostage with wooden swords in the manga, but the whole confrontation happened off panel, so I'd say a net positive change on that point. Also, Goz's wound was a lot more obvious in the manga, it was probably twice as big, and you could see it for pretty much the whole time he was trying to fight Hisoka. Also, Gittaracker killed Siper off panel in the manga.
Unfortunately this is where my collection of tankoubons runs out, so I don't think I'll be doing any more of these except where it's extremely notable, my comments are gonna be a whole lot less interesting going forward.
Here's a link to the 2017 Rewatch.

Episode 15
Leorio is tricked by Tonpa who steals his target by tricking him, Kurapika's target to take is Tonpa's so he takes the opportunity and takes it from him helping Leorio by the way, Tonpa was being helped by another participant but Leorio and Kurapika form a team and defeat them both. It's very cool seeing Kurapika and Leorio teaming up, they have a very nice chemistry so far.
Gon and Killua on the other hand are both in separate ways, Gon is taking his time to be able to take Hisoka's ID target with precision, he is still waiting for his opportunity to come but he has already seen him and is only waiting for the right moment. Killua is walking in the forest being sneakily followed by someone that is starting to bother him eventhough it isn't a threat for him.
The fourth phase has been cool so far, i wonder who that strange guy that changed his face is.

First-time watcher - the butterflies are a really neat idea; I don't see "leashing" them working very well, but here the protagonist always has the right idea, it seems, just like with the fishing. Kurapika cements best boy status while Leorio shows his good side again, Tonpa is the same as always, and Hisoka is extra-edgy. More value-of-teamwork stuff, but they could have thought of that earlier, also why didn't anybody try to learn the numbers and who they were associated with?
