Ok guys since this anime is probably gonna end in a few months I want you guys to try to guess where this will end in the top anime rankings once the 1/5th rule starts.

I don't see it breaking past rank 10. The 1/5 rule really isn't going to help it much.

I think that the rating will decrese over time even after the 1/5 rule since it won't have a proper ending so that migh throw a lot of people off.

It's where once an anime is finished, the site doesn't count the scores of people who haven't watched at least 1/5 of the whole anime. So someone will have had to of watched like 30 episodes most likely(predicting around 150 episodes total) for their score to count at the end. Most long anime get a little boost.

HxH has a lot of active haters and not enough sheer numbers of fanbase to give it the unconditional 10s like bigger series.
Ending it where the hiatus was will probably drop it to... 30-60.

Gotta hope for at least the Top 10.
I believe the story has still a few high notes that might get people surprised enough to enhance the rating. That said, a Top 5 would be cool (and deserved).

Active in what way? I checked the stat, there is not even 1% of the viewer that gave it less than 4/10. It's ridiculous compared to Gintama or LoGH. Even in the forums, the anime is barely mentionned in the Overrated/Underrated thread.

It can probably reach top 10, but it will be hard to maintain itself there.

I don't think people are haters just because they give it a 1. Haters are more subtle than that

Well maybe not "haters" per se, but a lot of people hold it up to standards much higher than regular shonens.
At any rate, just wait till it ends, and see how it drops like SnK. Maybe not as fast as JoJo though.

As a manga reader, i thought HxH was a complete series by the end of the election arc. There's a certain scene that definitely makes it seem that way.

Well if they're going to continue it later they might give it an ending that leaves it sort of open. Like shows them leaving for the next arc or whatever(idk what happens but they could go down that road).

Then again I don't know how much an ending like that will really affect it's score.

I think the end of the election arc would be a good way to end the series. (I thought it was the end until ch. 340 came out.) Many good series have shitty endings, but the end of the election arc is very good. I agree with jreginald.

There's a feeling of closure, and there's a feeling of moving on.
How is that not a good ending?

If that is a spoiler, I'm not opening it. All I'm saying is the election arc may have a good ending but they may have something after to basically show people that it's still going to continue. So the ending won't feel as closed.

I tried to be very vague. The spoiler tag is just in case.
End of the election arc was open-ended anyway. I don't think they're going to change much.

Slow start (people who only watched the first few episodes would probably give it a low rating), 1/5 rule, >100 episodes and the fact that it's already ranked 13 and still rising.... I'm pretty sure it'll be ranked 1 once it ends, at least for a while.

It's ending around October. The anime is out of manga material, remember Togoshi was on hiatus for two whole years.

Next arc is the last one being animated since the manga was on hiatus for 2 years and just started the new arc like last week. The arc is relatively short (roughly same as the hunter exam or maybe even less?) thus the reason why we are guessing the end of the anime in a few months since Chimera Ant arc ends in a few episodes

mhmm that's one prediction i guess, but as you said theres more manga material to come so maybe they could let the anime go on hiatus while the plot in the manga develops or create fillers (yes, i hate fillers too but done right, they could be interesting like naruto's recent ones)...

Yeah, but that arc just started right? And with Togashi and his frequent hiatuses.....it's just difficult to imagine Madhouse continuing the series. I don't think they should, personally. One of the things that makes this such a fantastic adaptation is that there is a distinct lack of filler. That won't be the case if the anime is continued.

Just because the manga restarted does not mean there will be enough source material. Why do you think Naruto and Bleach have so many fillers? It's because anime adapts manga faster than manga comes out. Anime usually adapt about 2-4 chapters each episode while Togashi will be bringing out 1 chapter a week. It won't take long before they catch up.
In addition, it would make no sense for Madhouse to produce fillers when they can just end the series and just produce another season when there is enough source material. I personally do not want them to make fillers. With the two movies that we got, it's pretty apparent any filler material Madhouse produces would not be on par with the actual series. I would prefer the anime to end and continue later than have to see more mediocre material.

I really don't think it will last in the top 20 for very long. The Chimera Ant arc feels much worse than previous arcs in terms of character quality and overall story coherence.

The 1999 anime will always be a top 5 series for me, but watching the Chimera Ant arc makes me wonder if the mangaka simply dragged it out longer than he wanted to. Or maybe I just have bad taste.

If it ended after the CA arc I'd say it'll go to #1 or at least #2 but since lots of people will probably hate
it might not reach that high and even go down a bit.

I loved the Election arc though.

I haven't read the manga, but before reading your post, I was about to write a similar comment.

I saw a handful of posts with haters for this story arc before it really got going. It probably took at least 10 episodes or so for me to really get my impression of this story arc back up to a 9/10 rating (now 10/10).

That being said, with the overall rank I've given Hunter in the past, If the anime ends when this story arc is over, If it's wrapped up with some ongoing depic development of Gon's character, I think hunter could have a chance to overtake some of the movies standing in it's way to make the top 10 for awhile.

If the anime continues past this story arc, I have no doubts about making the top 10.

It's hard to predict with the way MAL's ranking works.

how can Hunter x Hunter be overrated when it's not even that popular, not in the US at least. Like you said you barely even watched it, how about you watch the whole 2011 series and I'm sure you'll change your mind.

Because rating isn't about how popular it is, it's about how many people like it and by how much. And on this site we actually have a representation of that, it's actual rating or score. It sounds like you're saying only anime that have a dub and aired in America can be overrated, which is ridiculous.
