| Pretty dragged and the major fight wasn't even satisfying but relationship of a character (not gonna tell which one) with a certain character was really good so you should watch it tbh. |

| Just watch it, you won't get disappointed. It starts a bit slow but gets really tense later on. |

| I like it, it's not the best arc imo but it improves a lot over time. |
  Sorry, english isn't my first language. |
| Definitely top 2 arc in HxH. The big fight that happens later is pretty interesting to watch since it's so long. Other than that, there are many incredible stand out moments in the entire series. IMO it's a must watch if you like the show. |
 |
| If you don't like 'narration' in general then you much likely are gonna dislike it. According to me, it's a really well done arc with many twist (not predictable i say) and hype moments in it. It has it's sad moments and it's funny ones and much more. I'd recommend continuing but hey, to each their own |
| Fun fact: The high score Hunter Hunter 2011 has is mainly because of the chimera ant arc. Wild right? |
| Chimera Ant is easily the best arc in Hunter x Hunter, in my opinion. It has my favorite character too. https://myanimelist.net/featured/1059/Is_Hunter_X_Hunter__Chimera_Ant_the_Greatest_Shounen_Arc_Ever |
 |
| It's eh at best. Too long for an arc with not-so-good ending. |
| It's the best arc by far so just enjoy it |
| poop |
| frankly for me it was the worst arc in HxH, since the beginning HxH had this action, mystery, adventure feel to it,in contrast the Chimera ant arc's drops the usual adventurous/mystery nature that HxH always had & instead tries to draw the audience through nothing but mindles gore & cruelty. there is also excesive naration, like if during a battle (especially in the palace) a character moves it's limb then the narator will explain the reasons & the consiquences for the next 2 or 5 minutes. furthemore there is quite alot of pointless episodes that offer zero story progresion, basicaly filler episodes, honestly if some one told me to skip 20 or so episodes then I would have enjoyed it much more. so my advice is, continue watching it but skip some of it, watch till episode 84 and then skip 20 or so episodes after that. |
BerryBabe20 said: I just recently watched episode 80 and I feel a bit nervous about continuing it or putting it on hold. I’ve heard that most of the people who watched this arc “kinda” didn’t like it? And I don’t want to continue watching it if it’ll just make me disappointed cuz I don’t wanna waste my time hehhe. So please share your options about this, it would be very helpful Also, continue watching until episode 85 and believe me when i say that you'll love it afterwards ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
| It's just one of those "Love it or hate it" things, It's better for you to just watch it and see if it fits your taste or not. Be warned it's the longest arc of HxH by far. Personally? I love it. The main villain is my fave in HxH so far, and the intensity is really great. |
| "This is boring...I'm bored..." |
| Chimera Ant Arc is the best arc. But read the manga. |
 |
| It's bullshit that most people didn't like it, it's just that the people who didn't like it can't shut up about it which is why you might get that impression. It's a very vocal group that dislikes the arc a lot, but it isn't majority by any stretch of the imagination. There's plenty of people like me for whom it is their favorite arc, and probably even more who 'just' liked it. That's the thing with HxH, every arc is great in its own way and for each arc there are people who will call it their favorite. That's how good it is. There is no consensus best arc and no consensus bad arc, just a bunch of people who love the show but prefer different parts of it. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

Take care of yourself |
| It's the weakest arc in HxH imo. Still, I personally think every arc in HxH is good, so even the weakest arc is something I liked. I'm not sure how many people actually disliked it. I think most people who complain about it, simply liked it less than they liked other arcs. So they find it a little "overpraised" since the actual most popular opinion is that it's HxH best arc |
| Chimera Ant arc is the worst shounen arc ever created. Some people happen to really like this arc, but I feel it's also one of the most hated shounen arc and it has to be for a reason. Just drop it. |
| Hunter x Hunter is top 3 because of the Chimera Ant Arc. |
| In my opinion, Chimera Ant arc is the best arc of HxH 2011, moreover I think it's one of the best arc in shonen anime, probably the best. |
 |
| Yeah episode 77 is hella boring.. |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |
| Chimera is the second best arc, beaten only by Yorknew IMO. I feel that the Chimera ant dragged on and on, and the actual ants were kind of goofy and hard to take seriously, apart from Meruem and his guards. Could have been made a fair bit shorter and therefore more thrilling. Overrated? Maybe. Is it still great, despite being overrated? Definitely. |

| I'm a bit late but, this arc is what makes this anime my favorite. Every character gets to be developed, the OST is great, it knows how to subvert expectations, and the way the story is told by a narrator is just fantastic. Sure, there are some episodes in the middle that drags out a little bit, this arc is longer than the majority of entire animes after all, but I think everything the story has to offer makes it insignificant. The development of its themes and the social commentary are the highlight, it's incredible how everything is made to work thematically, from how the human factor changes an entire species development to allusions to real life events. Also, it ends perfectly. It's really different from the other HxH arcs or battle shounen arcs, so that's why I think it's very divisive, some people will love some will hate. |
| It's not a bad arc in general, it did have some seriously epic moments, but I have to admit that it was unnecessarily long. There was no need for it to last 60 freaking episodes. It felt like a giant filler arc. |
| I was hyped for this arc while it started very slow and honestly had maybe like 2-3 good episodes but even with developed and well written characters it was long and boring. I loved Komugi but finale wasn't as emotional as I expected it to be, I just can't see how this arc can justify this show being so high up in the ranking when arcs before chimera ant were so much more interesting |
| It had a slow start and was slow sometimes but it had some really good episodes for example 131 had me hyped af. |
