I recently finished watching Hunter x Hunter and I have to say that I didn't like the Chimera Ant arc. I was just curious if there is such a thing as the worst anime story arc?

well, The whole last arc to be more specific. XD

+ The so called Fullbringer arc of Bleach for me.


I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD

I hated how OP every ant was from the offset in that arc. I have to say I didn't like the Tenrou Island arc in Fairy Tail.

The only conclusive answer are most filler arcs.

Exception is Bleach, I love Bleach, most filler arcs in Bleach are fun and enjoyable, the crisp execution of battles were wondrous, Bleach still has the best animation in battle shounen, it just delivered in hype moments, so it gets a pass, it is a show I look fondly of, I don't think critically when I watch Bleach. I'm talking about Naruto had it the worst.

Well my friend it's about to be completed in the manga. I would say it only requires about 2-3 chapters more or maybe it will be completed in the next chapter.

The last arc of Fairy Tail was the worst without any doubt. It was obvious Mashima didn't care about anything during the end of the series.

Bar filler arcs, that would be a contest between Fairy Dance and when Madhouse decides to adapt Overlord LN Vol 12, Paladin of the Holy Kingdom, without taking a sledgehammer to amateurish rank garbage writing and bringing in a better writer to build the entire volume up from scratch.

Ignoring the excessive length and the annoying narration, the chimera ant arc is not bad on itself, it becomes bad when joined with the rest of the HxH storyline, because it has absolutely nothing to do with it, and creates a very annoying sense of discontinuity. I just kept asking myself the whole time while watching it: (i) What do Gon and Killua have to do with this insect invasion, why are they involved in this in the first place? and (ii) Why am I supposed to care about this?

Other bad arcs I recall would be the Golden Frieza, Black Goku and Tournament of Power arcs in DBS, Super C17 and Evil Dragons in DBGT, and because I've watched it recently; Fuko arc in Clannad, holy shit what an stupidity.

I'm not saying it is the worst arc I have ever seen, that title would probably go to a Fairy Tail arc. I just didn't like how long it was dragged out. I agree with Glenfinnan that it didn't have much to do with the rest of Hunter x Hunter. The only real excitement in that arc for me was with Gon and Killua's interaction with Neferpitou. Also, I would have liked to see more of Leorio and Kurapika. I'd still love to see more of it, if it ever comes.

Fishman Island arc in One Piece. It was so boring that halfway into the arc, I couldn't finish a whole episode of One Piece in one sitting for awhile. Instead, I'd watch half an episode of One Piece, then watch the second half of it the next day. After the arc ended and the Punk Hazard arc started, I went back to watching the episodes in one sitting like normal. That's how much of a chore it was to sit through that awful arc.

Sort of copy paste here since I prefer not to remember the bad moments :p
Chimera arc made me unable to keep going.
Children arc in log horizon 2nd season. Honestly this should be a spin off, just like Kaleid Prisma Ilya.
Bount arc. I was able to bear with it due to how hyped Bleach was back then.

Honorable mention would be Naruto. They could compile and create an arc called nostalgia arc. If they produce an exclusive Naruto marathon BD limited editions without recycling flashback scenes the rating would be higher for naruto here on MAL.

There are plenty of other people who dislike this arc, I get that there are more people that like it but I personally don't. I have my reasons of course, but I am entitled to dislike something, even if other people disagree. That doesn't mean I have shit taste.

Interesting thought. The Chimera Ant arc was probably the best arc in the series for me. Why didn't you like it?

Any filler arc in a long series is usually terrible. And if you count SAO's 2 arcs, then that too.

I think I would have been able to enjoy it more had it been shorter. The biggest thing that bugged me was how OP the ants were from the offset. It just doesn't feel right that an opponent can have more power than most characters we have already seen in the anime so far without having trained for those combat abilities.

I think the chimera ant arc was OK, but a bit too long.
the arc I didn't Like most in HxH was the SAO one aka green island but still it was ok. I can't tell the worst arc ever I've ever watched in anime cuz it was probably so bad that I don't even remember it.
