| I liked the arc a lot but the pacing of the anime is completely fucked up, especially during the palace invasion, what was Madhouse thinking with all that slow-mo? The episodes should have been paced way faster because of the action, instead they felt like even slower than the build up which should not even be possible. Still,i gave it 10/10 for plot,character development and clever fights |

| I think that the argument "ThE PaCinG mAdE thE ArC sOO BaD" is completely invalid. Could be that y'all need none stop action but I enjoyed to lean back, have a slow look at all the character's developments and holy shit there were some mind blowing fights and moments. The chimera arc was the best thing about HxH |
| The arc is absolutely god awful and made me lose all respect I had for the show up untill that point. |
| I thought the Yorknew City arc was far better, but the CAA was still a good watch. It was probably a dozen episodes too long and dragged on far longer than it needed to be. |
| The chimera ant arc is a bit slow but overall HxH is an awesome anime and one of my favourites... |
 |
| I literally just dropped HxH cuz of this arc. I wish Kurapika was the main character, he seems way more interesting. I tried but I just can't seem to care about Gon and Killua and even the serious/dark tone of chimera ant arc wasn't enough to make me want to continue. |
| Neither chimera ants nor York city is the best arc in HxH. The best one is the hunter exam arc in the original 1999 version (+ Zoldyck family arc that works as a sort of epilogue to the hunter exam). |
| Nah. Chimera ant arc is a masterpiece to me and I don't care what people have to say |

The chimera arc was the best thing about HxH The pacing is indeed very bad tho. I don't know why you think it couldn't be a valid argument. But the worst thing about this arc is the writing. Goddammit it feels like it's written by an edgy 12 years old who just discovered that human beings may have questionable morality. And that kid has written this arc in a way that is supposed to sound revolutionary. But in the end, it just sounds like a kid shooting big words he barely understand the meaning and all of that have already been said in a better way countless times before. Just look at how Meruem is written in such a cliché and generic way. Doing bad = Evil, but I didn't know until I discovered human sentiments, so now I know and I try to be good. Thank you for your happiness speech. Completely stupid. |

You need big brain to understand Chimera Ant as it is phsychological seinen anime but I'll try explaining it to you anyway: Gon lost his humanity and Meruem gained. These probably seem like random words at first but think about it for a few hours and you might get mind blowed.Justafa said: I think that the argument "ThE PaCinG mAdE thE ArC sOO BaD" is completely invalid.

Then the bad writing is completely excused. lol Why even bother writing something that makes sense when you can just throw random symbolisms and metaphors? That's right, Togashi is a genius when it comes to writing something stupid and passing it for something intelligent. |
| I fell asleep 30 times during the chimera ant arc, maybe I was not in a good mood but I still enjoyed the last part. |

I should just stick to brainless shows since I can only enjoy non stop action and can't stand well crafted character developments. HxH is way out of my league. Maybe when I'll develop better taste and some braincells I'll be able to grasp the true meaning of these deep monologues and complexe narratings. |
| I haven't even finished this arc but I think it's already better than the previous arcs |
| I totally agree. The Arc had some massive shine moments. Meruems character development The Structure of the Chimera Ants The distribution of the interesting roles, also among the generals. The fight between Meruem and Netero. The final final moments of the arcs. Basically everything revolved around Meruem and the final episodes. The whole arc itself was by far one of the most sluggish arcs. The first 5 episodes were interesting, followed by at least 15-20 very weak episodes. The invasion was very meager and the narrator hindered the atmosphere tremendously. Yes, there was a lot of explaining what happened during the moments, but this took all of the intensity and set it to 0. Like looking at an analysis for a Dark Souls Boss Fight when it seems obvious anyway. At that moment, the audience was treated almost like 10-year-old children, as if they had to know how often someone blinks and what breakfast they think back to while they evade. Gon's overrated pubertal transformation and anger also got me down. The approach was good, but the implementation and its motivation horrific. I would still have understood the death of Killua as the reason. But kite? Are we in Gintama? Where does a supporting character deserve so much drama with 8 minutes of screen time? |
