I've seen the original HxH like 4 times and it's one of the earlier animes I've watched so I have quite a nostalgic connection to this show and therefore totally biased.
I think the new Hunter x Hunter is ok. I actually prefer the original because it has some things that do bother me, it feels more childish but I do appreciate the high quality!:
1) Some scenes in HxH aren't in the 2011 one, like the stranded island. I liked that, it was nice change of pace.
2) the original felt darker and I liked that
3) They've sexualized Hisoka way too much, he's just not a creep in the 2011, more like a creepy pedo
4) I kinda dislike when shows always have to use weird names for their attacks and I don't like that HxH 2011 added that. An example is the girl that kiss others, it's not just a kiss but: "INSTAAANTTT LOVAH VAH VA VAH UUUGHAA~~~~~¨"
5) I think they should've used better animations during fighting scenes, some are either inferior or almost identical...

yeah 2011 follows the manga directly, while the 90s one was only loosly based on the manga.
i totaly agree the show should be darker though, to much censorship.
ps when it comes to hisoka, hes not half as creepy as he is in the manga.
Is he as pedo-ish in the manga as well? Have you seen arena fight with Gon and Hisoka in 2011? I mean, he pretty much orgasm'd himself, they showed some crotch shots on Hisoka and I am fairly sure he said something about how he would love to completely break Gon and they kept that kind of stuff going for like a whole episode?!
the entire point of hisoka is that he is a homosexual pedo.
