| The Chimera ant Arc when I first watched it, I didn't like it. However, when you view it as part of the whole series, it genuinely goes from strength to strength. The "forced" darker tones have been built up over a long period of time. I think a lot of people view it as forced or out of the blue because they have a naive view of Gon. Gon isn't a great happy-go-lucky character, much earlier during the Heavens Arena Arc Wing is unsure about teaching the boys because he sees what they may become. Gons motivations and ideals have always been somewhat questionable, sure he wants what is best, often he stands up for what is right, more often than not at the cost of himself and his allies. The Chimera arc begins with the ants being evil, by the end of the arc, it's the humans who are potentially the eviler of the two. Netero shows naught but contempt for Mereum, not because he's a killer or because of the atrocities he's committed, simply because he is an ant. Also the point of the fights, HxH is one of the few series I've watched and enjoyed where the fights are often massively one-sided. It's always been that way. How many actual close fights exist in HxH? It's more the motivations/emotions and other factors that make the fights enjoyable in this series. Feel free to respond if there's anything else specific you want me to hit on. |
| Pacing was a bit slow & the starting was too boring But this arc got better & better on every episode Many people say it doesn't have good fight s but hxh is not a fight focused shonen like naruto or dbz or bleach.HxH is a character driven show.Were you expecting great fights from death note & steins gate? Chimera ant is the best shonen arc without any doubt |
animecritic81 said: Meruem's character development is goddamn awesome that it fricking made my eyes teary at the end especially when the final battle between him vs Komugi like I mean woah! I just can't handle it! I mean I can say that the character development is the main focus in Chimera Ant Arc (Also Gon showing his breakable side or his rage and his sadness and Killua's maturity and his care towards Gon) and many things that I love in this arc but... It does not really entertain me more than I expected since I thought it could surpass Yorknew on my list but I was wrong. The darker tones feels forced (For me huh) compared to Yorknew and I even thought that HxH will become one of my top 5 list. The fights are uhmmm... Okay... Is that all? Don't get me wrong but I really am focusing on the story but it also feels damn slow at first up until the midway of the arc so I can say that Chimera ant arc ruined my enjoyment a bit much (I also think that Gintama and One Piece ruined my anime experience tbh that's why it seems like I have high expectations). But I still rated Hunter X Hunter as a whole a 10/10 because I think it deserves, just that I have high expectations toward the whole Chimera Ant Arc but fails to meet that expectations of mine. So do you guys feel the same about Chimera Ant Arc? Do you also think that Yorknew is much better than Chimera Ant Arc? The only bad thing for me about the chimera arc was the painful pacing, but other than that it was great. |

PlayMaker22 said: Hrybami said: 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. This is the perfect example of a wall of text with no content. It is incredible that with so many words you haven't been able to fully express a concept. Won't you have pacing problems too? I don't have pacing problem when it's justified. The chimera ant arc doesn't justify the snail pacing, that's why it sucks. |
| Well, you're not alone. Many people also hate Chimera Ant arc and prefer Yorknew Arc. But, it's the best arc of HxH for me and it didn't ruin my enjoyment. |

| I thought I was the only one that feels the arc is extremely overhyped. It's not the anime's fault, my friends gave me veeery high expectations, so it's no surprise it didn't meet them. I can appreciate the relationship between Meruem and Komugi (her constant running nose is weird tho) and the Netero fight was good I think, but honestly the best part for me was Gon's transformation. I can't say the anime did a good job of making his rage look justified, but at that moment with Kite's dead body at his side, it felt pretty real and it looked awesome (also we get to see Pitou's....nvm). The final moment with Meruem and Komugi was really great, made me emotional, but I just don't like Meruem that much. I prefer Chrollo as a character/antagonist (mostly antagonist). Aside from that though, it was pretty boring, not gonna lie. |
| If it's overrated why does the majority of all animanga base think it's the best arc of all time? |
