Overall, more development of how the characters met / interact

Some of the situations are changed and the charater’s actions are different (ex: Leorio got on the bus that pretended like it was going to take people to the exam site but didn’t, the events during the tower phase of the exam are a little different)

Most notable difference: Hisoka is less of a creepy perv (thank heavens)

I feel like they handled the Leorio vs. Leroute scene better? Like it’s still problematic and disgusting but they made it less creepy than the 2011 version and overall I feel like it didn’t trash Leorio’s character as much as the 2011 version did.

Tonpa’s true nature was revealed a lot earlier

Killua’s development is a little different

There’s WAY more of a focus on what’s happening between each phase of the Hunter Exam which is great and gives all the characters more development (even outside of the main cast)

There’s a LOT of Kurapika and Leorio moments (I can understand even more now why people ship them wow).

Kurapika can definitely be read as trans

Illumi shows up more 

Small scenes of Illumi + Hisoka working behind the scenes that significantly influence their character development / my understanding of them as characters

There are entire episodes and story arcs that didn’t appear in the 2011 version

Idk there’s more but this is the major stuff I can remember off the top of my head
