you can actually, just start with the CA arc directly, even the MC's are diffrnt, its like a different anime, .....

its like say, you only watched the 1st capn america movie and then watched averngers..... where stark takes the lead.

1. Hunter Exam (tonpa, gittarackur, and leorio ftw)
2. Yorknew (best protagonist vs the damned gangsters)
3. Chimera Ant (totally slow but very good)

Best Characters Verdict : Leorio, Gittarackur, Tonpa, Hisoka, and Pouf. +Kurapika and Meruem.

Chimera Ant arc is probably the best arc I’ve ever seen in a battle shonen anime. Also I think that HxH is more then a simply battle shonen anime.

I'd say both Yorknew and Chimera Ant are the best. They are both amazing in my eyes.

Having just watched this show, my favourite was definitely the Yorknew City arc. It would have been a 10/10 arc, but for the anti-climactic ending. The battle with Kurapika and Uvo was one of the best in the series, but it just seemed to end with Kurapika scuttling off somewhere else after recovering, instead of him chasing down the remaining members of the Troupe.

The Chimera Ant Arc was up and down. Some episodes, post-King and pre-palace battle just seemed to drag on and on, but the set up was great and some of the characters were really well developed. Pitou in particular was probably one of best in the entire show. Gon was finally fleshed out a little more and more than just a cookie-cutter shonen protagonist.

CA.

Tbh never understood very much the hype of Yorkshin, it isn't a bad arc but I prefer Exam and Heavens Arena...

Probably something like:

1. Chimera
2. Heavens Arena
3. Exam
4. Yorkshin
5. Greed
6. Election
7. Zoldyck Family. Fuck Zoldyck Family.

I really enjoyed Yorknew, Greed Island, Hunter Exam, and Heaven's Arena, but Chimera ant arc has so much... depth... The start of chimera ant was definitely not the best, but the conclusion pays off so well.

1. Chimera Ant

4. DC Expedition (technically finished since it's a mini-arc apparently)
5. Heaven's Arena
6. Hunter Exam
7. Zoldyck Family
8. Election Arc

Succession War isn't finished but I'd probably put it between Yorknew and GI for now, maybe higher depending on how it goes.

The Chimera Ant arc had some of the highest highs but also some of the lowest lows for me. Overall liked it quite a bit though

I also really Yorknew when I watched it, but I don't remember as much about it.

And the Dark Continent arc has been interesting as well, a bit of a complicated clusterfuck but I like it lol.

Those are probably my top three, I don't really think HxH has had any bad arcs.

At first, Chimera ant arc was splendid but it turned out to be one of the worst arcs I've ever seen so far, The Hunter exam was done better in the 1999 version but it was still good in the 2011 version, York City and Greed Island were really good and breathtaking. The final arc was so ughhh, I was suffering soooo much to finish it tbh. So yeah

York City > Hunter exam > Greed Island >>>>>>> the rest (Except the first half of Chimera arc)

I may be a little too much of a contrarian (or I just have shit taste) but I thought that every arc sucked ass to varying degrees with the sole exception of the Election Arc, which was quite great.

Election Arc>>>>>>>>Yorknew>Hunter Exam>Garbage>Everything else.

I thought the Chimera Ant arc was pointless. Togashi could've chosen a way that would progress the plot and develop the characters at the same time.


Don't know if necessarily pointless, but to me, it just had absolutely nothing to do with anything that had come before. The arc just pops-up from nowhere from one episode to the another creating an unbearable sense of discontinuity, and for a freakin' long 60 episodes, more than the Hunter Exam and Yorkshin arcs...combined! Also, Gon's attitude made no sense, he just had no reasons to follow Kite in his biological investigation, he had other goals (finding dad), but for some odd reasons, from one minute to the other, he doesn't care about finding dad anymore and now it's all about...joining a quest to defeat overpowered beasts? Seriously wtf? Why would Gon want that? I just couldn't ever stand it.


Maybe it's because Kite was his dad's disciple and he could learn more about his dad by following him for some times??? There is absolutely nothing wrong in this except the fact that you don't understand a simple thing like that

Oof people not understanding that gon character developpdment is what make this arc so interesting at the start he just was the naive and kind kid that care about every life forms and don't wanna hurt people without a reason but then in this arc you see how this naive kid discover the cruelty of the world he belong to and loose his shounen hero attitude.

It's comparable to eren amazing charcter developpement event if it's not on the same level at all,that make you feel a "humanity vibe" From the characters even the monsters humanity reach your heart

never clicked so fast as to choose the york new city arc. then became sad to see it behind the chimera ant arc. Alright so the chimera arc had like the biggest moments of the entire series, but as an arc as a whole? It's kind of a drag man, I know it's all intentional but still the pacing just didn't do it for me. York new city arc on the other hand I can fanboy about that shit all day, that's what made me really love hunter x hunter and what was probably the reason I continued to watch even though after thinking about it the greed island arc was really meh. Apparently it's better in the 1999 version but I actually thoroughly enjoyed the exam arc, probably my 2nd favorite after york new city

I thought the chimera arc was good (my third favourite) but was way to long. And I liked the phantom troupe arc (my second favourite), but it never really went anywhere. My favourite would be greed island. It has good fights, and a fun new card mechanic.

Spoilers ahead:
My personal favourite would be the Phantom Troupe arc but the best arc would definitely be the Chimera Ant arc.
The Chimera Ant arc is where we see the anime take a darker twist and the most dramatic character changes mostly from Gon.
These occur because of the many discoveries within the arc such as: the existence of the Chimera ants, the fact that they consume humans and the death of Kite which had the largest impact on Gon.
This arc also exposes the more grim aspects occuring within the NGL such as the murder, poverty and corruption.
There's also the frequent theme occuring within this arc of who is evil or good.
Additionally, this arc contains some of the best fights including Killua Vs Ikalgo, Netero Vs Mereum and Gon Vs Pitou.
Just some of the reasons why the Chimera Ant arc definitely takes the title of best arc for me.

I think the chimera ant arc had some major flaws that took their tole on the story but also some crazy highs that stand out more than anything in the story. I think it has the most presence in the overall story which is why I voted it but I also think that York new would be a valid choice too.

You're literally not even where the Chimera Ant arc picks up yet. I consider the beginning to be quite boring.

The episode where it picked up for me (I'll spoiler it in case you don't want to know)



Boy when the Chimera Ant arc picks up it goes hard, and it ends of as one of the greatest anime arcs of all-time.
