Chimera ant arc would be so good if there wasnt like 60 episodes and irritating narrator who was describing when someone takes a breath.

Chimera ant arc was pure shit, idc what anyone says. It could've easily been concluded in like 30 episodes. After finishing the arc, I felt like my time had been wasted. Such a pointless and dumb arc imo. And yes I understood everything. Hxh is still 10/10 tho.

Zoldyk imo, and I would phrase it as least favorite instead of worst, I found them all pretty good.
DONDAKE!!

First time it was probably Chimera ant arc, second time it was Greed Island or Zoldyck and now it's probably Heaven's Arena with Zoldyck right behind

All I know is Yorknew and Election have always been my top two. Right now Chimera is third and I love it, especially compared to my first time

The Chirmera Ant arc is the best arc in my opinion and the narrator was perfect for a serious anime arc.

Chimera Ant arc by far was the worst arc in the series i quit during that and had to force myself to finish the show
If we kill all our enemies, will we finally be free?

Well, I guess the Zoldyk family arc because it was the shortest, I didn't have many bad things, It just didn't have time to even present anything, It was just a quick side arc.
I don't speak English that much, so please cut me some slack

My least favorite is the Greed Island arc. Not that I think it's bad, at all. It's just that I feel it took a long time to achieve what was needed. You can clearly see Togashi stalling sometimes, I assume because he wasn't sure yet where the story was going to go or at least how he was going to get there.

The Exam arc is a great intro to the world and the Zoldyck Family really cements Gon and Killua's friendship. It's unfair that it's judged as a separate arc since it's only a few chapters long.

Heaven's Arena was necessary to introduce Nen and it had some good moments. Good thing is that it wasn't too long like Greed Island.

Yorknew City was awesome, my second favorite. The Chimera Ant arc is just amazing. It's a shame kids with the attention span of a potato can't get through it and decide to shit on it nowadays. And the Chairman Election arc was a really nice conclusion to the whole main plot.

Can't analyze the Dark Continent arc yet because... hiatus.

I'm intrigued, surely if you think the longest arc of the show was that bad then how can the show as a whole be 10/10. If it's passing and presentation were that rough for so many EPs then surely it should atleast drop by a point down to 9/10? Just wondering👍

Yh I guess I should, but I understood the chimera ant arc, so I thought I wouldn't let it affect the score. So if I was judging strictly, I'd prolly rate it 8 or 9.

Well I mean you do you but understanding something doesn't automatically mean max points. If your view of it was the arc was massively over saturated / poorly paced and presumably therefore the story and characters suffered from that elongated story telling, then such a large part of the show would therefore cause the overall score to drop, that's all I was wondering. I was always think long shows like hxh have it rough trying to be good for such a long period lol

Yh true. I don't understand how people managed to get through one piece. Like surely it would get so repetitive.

From what I hear it's much better to read one piece then watch it 😅, yet people still say it'll be the number one anime when it finishs but I have to wonder how unless the vast majority of EPs are good.

That's my issue with hxh as some sort of 'masterpiece' yes it's great, very good but there are plenty of slower moments that drag, where the pacing is weak. Obviously that's because of its length but at the end of the day when I watch say gurren Lagann,borderline every episode (bar maybe Ep4) is brilliantly paced, cohesive and wonderfully produced, with a longer show that just isn't possible. I don't hold it against hxh or one piece but objectively they can't be their best in every episode, it would kill the production team of they tried to be lol.

Yh true, but ig the purpose of long shows isnt for every episode to be the best. Personally idm slow pacing, but the chimera ant arc pacing was in slow mo. I don't read manga mainly because I cba, but I can't ever imagine reading one piece. It would take too long.

Oh I agree, there not meant to always be peak anime but for me atleast that therefore means they can never truely be 10/10, with me hxh is an 8.5 great in alot of regards but despite its length it can actually be pretty bland with alot of its extended cast and the pacing is iffy as fuck. Like I understand why and I've no issue with slow paced stories it's just a byproduct of being so long.

And ya reading something like one piece definetly seems inteinadating😂

i agree but it's no where near the worst arc, it has one of the best antagonist in anime and iconic moments like gons rage, neteros speech, killuas godspeed, its a fantastic arc and i got no idea how people voted it the worst arc

I agree it's got some pacing issues, so of it feels down-rigth shallow or fillery but when it's good it hits some real highs, epically the king and the blind shoki players interaction. I can certainly think of worse arcs in anime😅

With respect in what way? Just saying, it's trash or one of the 'wost' parts doesn't really tell me anything😅

Like this is anime were talking about, there's a lot of worst arcs😅, there's definetly worse things made by humanity lol😅. I had a look at your list and I can't help but find it bizare. You've clearly seen loads of shows and have your own opinions so it's kinda baffling why you've taken to being so hxh negative in particular. Like I'm not even a big hxh fan but How'd did it score all the way down as a 1 or do you score shows purely based on your feelings rather then objective values? Just wondering.

Uh... how? I can understand if you don't like it but isn't that going a bit too far?

I find it funny how Chimera Ant arc is so divisive. Some people think it's the best thing ever invented while others hate it. It's like the Evangelion of HxH arcs.

OT: Zoldyck Family is the worst arc. It's not bad, but it barely counts as an arc.

Chimera arc was amazing and greed island is one of the best isekai ever (the arc is better than all of SAO). Yorknew city was so forgettable (I had to search up which arc it was) and also anything involving kurapika and his eyes ijust felt too similar to the sharingan drama in Naruto (special red eyeball stealing blah blah).

Even if you think the ant arc was poorly paced or boring, how is Zoldyck Family not the clear one? It was only 3 episodes and brought so much less to the world of HxH than the ant arc. Greed Island’s bomber is probably the worst villain in the series too.
