| Pacing/narration in the ant arc |
| Good: Togashi’s philosophy and abstract ideas Bad: mediocre characters. Togashi doesn’t craft good characters. The best ones in this story are the Genei Ryodan and Meruem which tells you a few things. (1) Compelling Togashi characters tend to arise from his having a nuanced and thoughtful understanding of good and evil (ie Meruem and Danchou Chrollo are good in large part due to the philosophy and abstract ideas we mentioned before). (2) If you force Togashi to keep any individual character’s arc/progression going for too long he’ll eventually muck it up because he doesn’t understand the fine details of human psychology and behavior well enough. That’s why he’s smart to have Kurapika and Leorio randomly disappear and smart to introduce new characters constantly. You can only have so many Gons in a Togashi story before it really starts to turn people off (Gon’s arc, taken in totality, is more or less complete trash character construction). |

Dabitsu said: I know there's a lot HxH fans out there that thinks the series is perfection but I wanna ask those same people, what do you think is Hunter X Hunter biggest flaw? Anybody is allowed to answer this (Even if you don't like Hunter X Hunter at all). What it's biggest weakness? I'm curious to read your thoughts ๐ค Pacing in the Chimera Ant arc |
 |
| World building is the biggest flaw of HxH. Nen is supposed to be this really huge secret affair yet you see Nen users literally talk about it to the public during Heaven's Arena. You also see Nen users literally massacre the audience with little to no consequence. There's also the issue of Zoldyck family estate being a famous location, despite them being popular assassins. There's also various asspulls and improper use of flashbacks throughout the show but still I love the show very much. |

Tkit said: Not to mention the loss of common sense. Such as the most egregious like Killua, a person who is an overthinker and who is also cautious, does NOT hide Komugi in Knov's portals despite her being the ONLY hope they have for keeping humanity alive. So much of that arc is so drastically different from what the journey you were shown so far that it felt like I started a new series with characters that look the same, but are not the same and are going to be apart of some dark, guro bullshit I never signed up for.Pacing/narration in the ant arc |

| There isnt any flaw. Its peak |
i'm not an english native speaker |
| With the anime? Hmm. Maybe the narrator getting too much screen time during the chimera ant arc ๐ |
 |
| Everything is bad in Huntrash x Garbage, but I think its biggest flaw is the disastrous, jumbled, slipshod writing. |
| It’s inconsistent. You have peak episodes and the next ones are stupid. Much of that is because the anime is kinda dragged out |

| I'm not 12 years old and no longer wish to view the world with such eyes. This makes Gon's naivety and innocence kind of unrelatable to me. If it wasn't for the Zoldyck family I doubt I would've finished this series. Also at 148 episodes it feels both incomplete and too long. Yes, I would have loved to have seen more, but given the stories they tell, I wouldn't mind if it was shorter. |
That's the problem with eternal damnation, you get used to it after a while |
| I didn't like one ass pull towards the end of the chimera ant arc |
Sometimes it takes a real man to be best girl. Gilgamesh is also chad.   |

 "I don't know about you But I'm feeling 22 Everything will be alright if You keep me next to you You don't know about me But I'll bet you want to Everything will be alright if We just keep dancing like we're 22, 22" |
| Don't wanna be that guy, but I gotta be that guy: A bit too much talk, not quite enough action to compensate. Like do we need those episodes in the middle of the chimera ant arc that have like killua spending half the episode wondering if he should have turned left instead of right or some sh*t Besides that, the only thing I'd complain about is the ending of the greed island arc just feeling unfulfilling. Maybe it's because that bomb villain guy was just lame asf. Everything else though, great. For me personally, I actually really loved the exam arc. It was interesting seeing them learn about nen in the heaven's arena arc. Yorknew City arc needs no introduction. Greed island, despite it easily not really being anyone's favourite, I still pretty much enjoyed for the most part. And the chimera ant arc of course is just pure epicness, apart from maybe dragging on maybe just a LITTLE too much at times. And the last arc whatever you call it, the election arc or whatever, was decent enough as well, but the thing I love about it is the end. After hearing so much of "hiatus x hiatus" and waiting for the manga to continue, I was always thinking: "oh no. the anime leaves us off in a massive cliffhanger doesn't it." But actually no, despite the whole "our journey is just beginning" in showing how big their world really is, it still has a sense of finality and feels like a proper end to the first chapter or however you want to put it. Well that's just how I feel at least. I was just expecting a very abrupt ending, leaving the viewer in the middle of nowhere. Instead, it still felt complete to me and wrapped up in a nice bow. If there will be no more hunter x hunter anime in the distant future, I think this is still a solid all around package. |

| I'm personally not a fan of how much dialogue / talking there is. Especially in fight scenes. |
 |
| The main problem would have to be treating it's viewers as toddlers. Chimera Ant which cover close to half the adaption is basically just a kindergarten tier philosophy lesson dumbed down into oblivion. It's as if the series don't think you'll understand anything unless it press it into your brain with a hydraulic press. And I don't have a mental degredation fetisch. |
