Yes and yes, but only for about 10 chapters further.

I think some people coming from the anime also dislike the art for being too 'sketchy'.

It's alright. Mostly build up to nothing because it's back on hiatus lol

A lot of people don't really like the art.

For the first one he was on hiatus for like 2 years before making it so even at one line a day he could have made it.

The manga is excellent, but I'd recommend starting from the beginning, to get used to the art-style.

But the art in Dark Continent arc is extremely good if you're planning to start from there.

Well the stuff that he probably got done during his 2 year hiatus probably is.

Its not worth catching up to, the 10 chapters that go beyond where the anime left off is just build up chapters.

The problem will not be the art since it's nothing short of great ever since the new arc begun (besides the one above, you also have panels like this
)
No the problem is that there are only ten chapters beyond where the anime left most of which is build up. Come back in a year or two.

Wait you are joking right?
How can a mangaka draw this shitty?

I will stick with the anime (wanted to read the Manga after it but after seeing this mess I would rather not)

Even then, Togashi isn’t much of an artist. He does have some good scenes though. That being said, this image is not the one that should be used in his favor. It’s really basic and pretty poorly done considering the bad anatomy and proportions.

Togashi's art is detailed when putting effort into his own work. That is all. And I don't mean detailed as in Berserk, Vagabond or JoJo-tier. It's style is simplistic but at the same time, Togashi makes it clear what is happening. He has very good orientation when placing the manga panels and the pages fit one with another just fine. Though, just because a few minorities are more detailed than another, doesn't mean it's good. Especially not that panel you just posted. It's a clusterfuck. By the end of the day, Togashi's simpler pages are the best.

Wait, which anatomy or proportions are you talking about? These are fictional creatures.

And what are you even basing these (Anatomy and proportions) on? Real life? Because then you wouldn't be judging the art quality but rather the artstyle which has nothing to do with how well the panel is drawn but just your personal preference (like how some people just find the artstyle in Jojo ugly no matter how detailed are the panels). To make myself clearer, I will substantiate with this other example: something like One Piece has an unorthodox artstyle (the body proportions of females are light years from being realistic), does that make the art bad by default?

Yes, but only for 10 chapters for now. It's too early to say if the latest arc in the manga is good, but I guess it's good so far. Nice to see Kurapika finally return. And Hunter x Hunter doesn't have any bad arcs, so I have no concerns about this one. There's a lot of infodump at the beginning, though. The illustrations look great.
