The best arc of the series. I would not shorten it if I had the choice. The build-up was necessary for the arc to be as impactful as it was.

It was a great arc but way too stretched out imo. They definitely could’ve shortened it by like 10-12 episodes, which would make the pace feel much better and keep the viewers entertained the entire time rather than getting bored during the “lulls” of the story. Worth it to see all the climax events tho!

average shounen arc (6/10)

"No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart
And I'm not the one you were meant to find
It's not up to you you
It's not up to me
When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?"

The only arc that can only come close to Majority of Seinen (Still can't achieve the greatness)

The peak of this series was the philosophical thesis on human nature was pretty much commendable, however everything was ruined by the subsequent abomination arc that was still less horrible as all of Attack on Titan🤢 and Naruto🤮, but on the level of One Piece😵

Hunter x Hunter fans attempt to portray how smart they are but the truth is that they still only watch Overhyped shows

It's the worst arc I've ever seen both in terms of writing and storytelling. It felt like it was entirely written by a 12 years old after their fist biology class. Aside of taking itself way too seriously for what it worths, the arc is still guilty of everything anime fans usually hate about battle shounen such as generic villains, bad pacing, horrible character designs, asspulls, too kid friendly, and more. Yep, this arc is the reason why it's called Huntrash x Garbage.

pacing is good for most of the part. There are only few instances where pacing can be considered bad. I think people exaggerate when they complain about pacing.

Several unnecessary characters, plot threads that go nowhere at all.
like?

indeed. But soon this thread is going to be filled with lots shounen kids whining about it lol.

about the pacing, It wasn't bad it was slow most of the time. It was boring cuz it was slow but it was the most memorable. source being me: its the anly arc i can remember :)

Tbh expect from final battle of netero and meruem and gon’s adult form I didn’t like it, the new characters introduced were hella boring and uninteresting and the butterfly guy really made it difficult for me to watch it and i still don’t understand for what gon became so mad and he would go into rage for someone he barely knew

While it is my fav arc in this anime, it's not like it's the best shonen arc among action shonen animes but it's still peak fiction for me.
The only problem i had with it is the pacing that could've been a bit faster. The pacing is what annoyed me a bit but i can still tolerate it cause i'm quite patient enough with the pacing here cause i mean the previous arcs also had some slow moments so that's probably why i can be patient in this one, still this arc with the narrator telling us whatever the hell was happening made this arc cooler for me other than the pure action and plot in this arc.

I personally hated that arc. It ruined HxH for me. HxH is a great show if you remove that arc. I hate how slow paced it is. Also the dialogue in that arc are very boring. Not nearly as good as rest of HxH has. Finally the overuse of the narrator really bugged me throughout that arc. Meruem and Komugi's story was the only thing that kept me going through that arc. I didn't cared about anything else.

i feel the same way

Hated Gon's adult form, also hated Gon's fully recover only at the cost of losing Nen and able to learn from beginning, pretty much 0 downside since he has the "talent" to master most of the thing almost instantly.

Hated the fact Meruem is the strongest in human world, and had to resort to a cheap bomb that can mass produced, this is going to make Dark continent a joke and contradicting when human is "actually" strong and able to survive when Dark continent arc finally hit.

Hated the pacing of Chimera arc on human character development dragging too long that Meruem doesn't have much screen time and most of his screen time is ONLY playing chess.

Beside above, I think everything else is good.

All the hxh dickriders will say that it is the best piece of art in all of human fiction but it was mediocre at best for me. I liked the yorknew arc way better. Also how can a arc be good without hisoka, kurapika and leorio?

Honestly, it’s overrated imo, I can see why other people like it but the fight was just way too long. If I had been watching it by myself I would probably have put it on 1.5x speed because it felt so dragged out :/

It's too long and some parts are bloated. It needed to be condensed. Wasn't a fan of nonstop new characters, many of them simply to die in mini arcs and battles. These parts make the arc feel slow sometimes.

That being said, it contains the absolute best moments of the story we've seen so far in the anime. Unforgettable, god-tier moments of character and story. These moments emphasize the sheer quality of Hunter x Hunter.

obiously the best arc ever made in battle shounen history.
They introduce 2 new characters that completely steal the show.
komugi x meruem are them best couple ever.

you shouldn't throw words like "dickriders" with that oda's cock in your mouth.

I am just a casual fan of one piece not a dickrider

If you check my forum history, then you will see me give it criticism. Not a dickrider who believes that it is the best piece of fiction on planet earth like some huntards over here.

way too long and the emotional intelligence of gon losing humanity as meruem gains it doesn’t make up for the amount of braindead scenes with ikalgo (squid character) and the mountain of useless secondary characters, worst part of the show other than the ending imo

I just finished this arc and it took me a few weeks (because I have other things to do, obviously) and it's pretty sick, but I have to say the pace was so slow that I got a little upset (I've complained things like "damn, when does this end?"). The story was interesting though, I personally liked seeing Gon's progress and his raw rage displayed through the few last episodes. I'd give it another go if the arc was made shorter

I actually liked the slow and gradual buildup from the start of the arc. I liked how characters were getting whacked left right and center, the show would build up certain characters you'd expect to spend lots of time with and just throw them away, the stakes really mattered now. I thought some of the final episodes were dragging it a bit, I was getting pissed off at one point by it, but episode 135 was perfectly executed. Best arc of the show (haven't seen the final one yet though), but tbh besides episode 135 and that main plot-line relating to it, I'm not a mega-fan of the show anyway.

Overall it's one of the best arcs in the anime, if not the best.

First you get to meet face to face concepts as life from Meruem and death from Netero.

Second of all, something not common in main shonens; the shadow of the protagonist. Gon accepting a darker, ruthless, stronger side of him to avenge Kite, as one of his only links to his father.

But yes, maybe the parts when they were planning their attack or the episodes that in the anime were one key minute, might have being boring. But it was only to build towards all the amazing fights and confrontations we see later on in this arc.

At some point it might be slow paced, but never boring. Everything had an importance, except maybe some extra side characters. But that's just to give some content to the series.

The only thing i didnt like in this arc was netero vs chimera king it’s boring to me
