| Currently 24 episodes in and honestly while I found the first arc somewhat enjoyable this current arc has been not enjoyable at all in my opinion. Can I expect this show to get better after the current arc is over. I don't know when the current arc ends but since there is a recap episode at episode 29 I am going to assume that this current arc should end by episode 28. |

| Yorknew City Arc. |
| Hello! If you are in episode 24 that means you are at the 'Zoldyck Family Arc.' That's the shortest one.
The arcs go like this: I personally started liking the series at around episode four, so I can't really say much since it still hasn't convinced you. What was it that you liked the most about the first arc if I may ask? |
| Yorkshin is overall the best arc, but the best episodes come from the Chimara Ant arc |
| 40 onwards but things start to get heated up around 30/35. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| Exam and Zoldyck where nice arcs too tho. |

| Depends what your looking for...? |

| Depends on what kind of mentality you have: Can you write a summary on episode 19? Answers are: Episode 1 if one's into stories of depth and never if a person's into mindless shonen soap operas. |
| End Zionazism |
| by episode 30-32 I got into it. Mayuka said: Yorknew City Arc. The first arc where I was completely invested in the show. |

Answers are: Episode 1 if one's into stories of depth and never if a person's into mindless shonen soap operas. I'm agree, I had been liked the series even since the very first episode because I know very well the characters of HxH since it's my childhood anime, it feels nostalgic to see kurapika, gon, leorio, and killua around eps 4.. it become my greatest anime ever since rewatching chimera ant arc, beating FMAB in my list.. |
| “You should enjoy the little detours to the fullest. Because that's where you'll find the things more important than what you want.” |
| I liked it since episode 1. I'm not a believer that you have to get to a certain episode to enjoy something actually. I did that for steins gate. I watched it all and I'm not a big fan. So if you already watched a few and don't like it. Stop watching it. Save your time for anime that you do enjoy. Life is too short to watch anime you don't like watching no matter how much other people like it. |

| Be patient and HxH will find a place in your favourite list before you know it |
| HunterxHunter for me was great from the very start, but I truly fell in love with it during the Heaven's Arena arc ( which is where u should be at now). But if u still don't like it after that then I would advise you to drop it. |

(Aka shonen fans) Hey, I never said that. I actually liked HxH from the very beginning, but that's probably because I already watched the old version beforehand. I thought the exam arc was way better than in the old version though. |
| Lol, it's normal for long series to have up and down arc, just keep watchin' it dude |
 la critique de l'intention pure |
| Im still watching this and i just finished the yorknew arc. Honestly I found it hard to believe this show was as good as people said. Hunter exam arc was as cliche as any other long running shounen and just wasnt very fun. Pretty mediocre imo. Same for the Zoldyck family arc. If i had to give a mal score for each arc i would give them both a 5. Heaven's arena was only slightly better so i would give it a 6. The first episode i actually got engaged to the anime was episode 32 where they spent the whole episode explaining a fight. After that i got bored for the rest of the arc until the Yorknew city arc which is like episode 40. This is where is gets good and you will get fully invested in the story and characters. I would probably give this arc a 9. If the rest of the series could be as good as that arc i can probably end up giving this a 9. So, so far i would say that it is worth your time to get through about 40 episodes of slog to get to the good stuff because if the rest of the show could be as good as the yorknew arc then it will definitely be worth it |
| Grimgar season 2 please!!!! |
SquishyPaste said: I would say keep watching, you will really enjoy the Yorknew City arc. Just trust me on this. However, I would say skip Greed Island, it really, really killed the tone that was set by Yorknew. You'll know an episode or two into Greed Island that it's not worth watching, especially if you weren't a huge fan of the first few arcs. Skip to Chimera Ant after Yorknew. I agree that Greed Island is flawed, but I don't recommend skipping it. There are a lot of important developments in the arc that shouldn't be missed out on. |
| I think this show gets really good at around 1st minute of the first episode. Hunter Exam arc is great, I don't understand why so many people think it's a bad start. I really don't. It's a perfect way to introduce us to this world, to present characters to us and to set our expectations. What more do people want from an arc such as this? I don't see how we're supposed to answer your question. What did you dislike so far and what do you want from this series? How about you give some details. |

| I fell in love with it at the start of the Hunter Exam (episode 3 or 4). A lot of anime (especially battle shonens) have trouble introducing its characters and to see revelations with each character every episode coupled with the development they received with each challenge was fantastic. |

(Aka shonen fans) Hunter Exams had tons of action and so did Heaven's Arena especially, Yorknew City had significantly less action and for the most part focused on planning, espionage, and executing plans. Although it did have tons of action moments, such as the heavily noted Kurapika vs Uvogin and Spiders Riot, the majority of it is not full on fights. |

| I loved HxH from the beginning. I knew it was a masterpiece by the end of Chimera Arc. |
| ✈️ |
| From episode 1 to 148 its a fucking masterpiece. |
| Sadly never, its one of the most overrated anime I have ever watched. |

| I personally thought it got good when Hisoka started killing people in the fog during the run. That's when I realized this show wouldn't be pulling punches (hehe see what I did there?). Anyway, jokes aside, the moments of Gon V Hisoka really hooked me into the show. Until then, it was just enjoyable/good but not great. It became great with Hisoka's antics, then it became phenomenal when you said the comradery and friendship and hugely uphill battles of the four heroes. God, I can't wait til they reunite again. Their accomplishments together at Yorknew against an organization like the Spiders was fucking amazing. |
Rogue_DeWolff said: Even though it deconstructs a lot of Shounen Cliches, and plz learn the difference between Tropes and Cliches when you try to be "critical" on thingsIronically, I dropped it after Yorkshin because I was fed up with the shounen cliches this bullshit was feeding me. |

| Alright I think I am going to give this show another chance. If it doesn't get good by episode 50 I am dropping it. |

| If you kids think HxH is overrated, you need to get your brain checked. |
