Haven't been watching much currently airing shows besides Jojo, so I can't vote. But HxH has definitely become one of my favorites of all time, if that means anything.

Yeap It surely is but for me it was my favorite way before 2011. The original 1999 version was already in my top5 although not No1. It's just the CA arc of 2011 made it not even comparable to any other anime. The range of emotions that this arc evokes are so powerful for me that it made it the best arc ever. The writing is amazing, consistent, unpredictable and realistic at the same time. The direction the story takes is ingenious and the themes it touches upon are mature and thought provoking. I don't even want to mention the amazing characters and their development throughout the entire show... I just love character driven shows and that the characters dictate the direction of the story and not the other way around (it makes it unpredictable and exciting).

Yep I can't think of another anime that is currently airing that can even come close to HxH2011 and respect to Madhouse for being such an amazing studio with HxH NGNL and Mahouka

Not surprised at the poll, would be interesting to see this in AD though.

To me, No. One Piece, Naruto, Ping Pong, and Mushishi are at least above it.

iirc hxh recently beat the other long runners quite easily on the AD, but of course, it would lose to AoT and SAO because they are most popular.

Yes. Naruto may have some flaws but it's still overall a great anime. HxH is just very good, never been above Naruto in any arc.

Yes, but F/SN wil become the best of 2014. Ans also because HxH was already in the final stages of the chimera arc when 2014 started. Other mention would be Mushi-shi but that's about it.

F/SN should be pretty great if it's on par with the VN. I think I prefer CA, though. Going by the source material of Fate, anyway. Though I love me some Fate, so we'll see.

I'm not caught up but it's pretty good so far.

First arc's much better written than one piece/fairy tail's arcs (especially the recent ones), but I like
naruro more overall. So I vote for that. (No)

Come on, you could have at least seen more of the show before voting on such an obviously important poll!

I'm sorrry to tell you guys this but I used to love Naruto and indeed it was a very good anime/manga UNTIL the end of the pain arc. It's very sad how the manga and the anime just went straight downhill right after it with the current War arc in the manga being the worst written arc I've ever seen in a manga or anime. It makes me sad to think that Kishimoto would drop the ball like this because I never expected him to turn Naruto into such a bad story. So for me HxH is leagues above Naruto and it's pretty clear, and Naruto was the first anime I ever watched too,

As much as I adore One Piece, I admit that I think HxH's writing is smarter, and the character development feels like it's a notch above One Piece.

I haven't seen a whole lot of anime and different genres, so I don't have any say in if it's one of the best, but in my honest opinion I feel HxH is the best in its genre.

The title is not ''best battle anime currently airing''. So technically Mushishi and Ping Pong qualify since they are anime.

Not to judge any of these anime but it was obviously like this:

"I'm a huge one piece fans and want to reiterate how much I like it over that show, so I'm gonna up my securities by placing some other anime between to shield my fav show from criticism and people have to argue about the middle shows instead."
