I think hunter x hunter is the most overated anime people hype it up to be this adult show but I don't really see that and the so called best arc in anime the Chimera boring arc wasn't that interesting and I dropped it after a few episodes.

I don't think it's the most overrated anime but its definitely up there.
I liked it up until the the greed island arc then I just lost interest The chimera ant arc was just painful to watch.

Honestly, i believe it is. It’s not bad but it isn’t perfect either. There are some things that don’t make sense like how can a normal human boy be able to catch a big fish in the beginning of the anime but I will give it points for having some good fighting scene. I’m not gonna be like these other comments that just deeply hate the show but I feel like it’s overrated but it’s still a good show I just believe that there are other better anime out there.

No, and you’re fucking dumb if you think it’s bad. I get that it’s not 10/10 for everyone, but it is NOT bad. Personally I think Attack on Titan is the most overrated, but it’s still
a 9/10. Also, 5 or 6 episodes is absolutely not enough to judge a SIXTY EPISODE ARC’S quality. You should give it another try, it gets super good in the second half.

if you find it overrated you went into it expecting a lot of fights and was clearly disappointed by it, hxh is a character driven psychological anime especially during chimera ant so if you’re a shounen fuckboy it’s not for you

How is that I have the feeling you're saying HxH is not a battle shounen and not suited for shounen fans??

For me the middle of the Chimera arc was boring. This was when Gon and Killua had to go back and defeat these 2 guys, after that it was much better. I can’t rank it yet because it’s not finished and I haven’t read the manga too so I’ll go with very good.

Nah it is one of the most god awful shows in existence. One the chimera ant arc starts the show ends. The show makes these terrifying creatures that we expect the mc’s to beat (cuz it’s a god damn shounen) then they just get takin out by a poisoned gas while we watch the main cast fight a fight that they have no chance in winning and no reason to fight at all. The only people in the entire show that could possibly contend with the bier tied chimera ants were the chairman and the older men ever of the Zoloft family. They could just sent in netoro and Zeno like they already did then just set of the poison gas shit and ur be like the quickest arc. There is no character devolopent the plot is trash the entire show is trash like Jesus Chrissy

There are good reasons for it to be in the top 10 and it's pretty much an ideal representative for battle shounen.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

It's amazing, especially with the character development you don't see much in shounen, and the mcs not being op mofos. The music is on point as well, and of course it isn't perfect no show is but it definitely is really good. You might not like it but hxh has obviously gotten it's hype for a reason

Yes!! Definitely it is one of the most overrated anime of all time but you have made it this far just complet it. It is a solid 7 or a 8 out of 10 overall.

The first few arcs are very bad (hunter exam and the zoldic family arc). And the the next arc in which they climb the floors (I for got the name) is just decent. The greed island arc is also fine in the start it was great but the end of it was just not satisfy, the bomber was just not that good of a villain in my opinion.

The caimera ant arc is great but it is too lengthy and slow in the start. The arc is just average until the king is born and then the show just gets amazing.

In my opinion the best arcs of hunter x hunter are the phantom troop arc and the chairman selection arc. The caimera ant arc's last few episodes or so are just better than anything in the show but as I said the start is very slow and boring.

I think you should continue watching the show. You have made it through the hunter exams arc, watching trough this arc shouldn't be that hard.

If someone told me that, I wouldn't backhand him and say otherwise. The show itself is decent and consistent throughout for a battle manga. The characters are unique and bit twisted, compare to cliche shonen protagonists. Which I really like and enjoy.

we really gotta stop these Hurr Durr Overrated trash threads

Also, as mentioned above in this thread, the show was under watched back when it finished airing, and no one - absolutely no one - made a case for it being Overrated.

The impressive feat is how over the last 5 years it kept its 9.10 score even with its insane increase in popularity here on MAL, which only shows its overall quality.

And yes, you should definitely watch the Chimera Ant Arc until the end - heck, everyone should - but you really gotta be into the character building, interactions and their psyche.

By far the most overatted show. People are way to forgiving but i guess we all do that to our favorite anime. Hxh gets away for way to much though and has a retarded narrative that it has flawless writing which is untrue 😂

Not the most overrated anime, but it isn’t that great. Both of the last arcs are sluggish and hard to watch, but apparently a lot of people liked them. You might be one of those people and that’s not a bad thing, if you haven’t seen it give it a try.

I think it’s good for people who are just getting into anime, a younger audience or people who just want relatively mindless entertainment. Despite being sluggish and relatively boring to me at a lot of points I’d say it’s better than a lot of the other long running Shonen jump series.

I think it became that way because of how different it feels from other shonen first time watching but after watching it doesn't seem that subversive that second time and it just became another shonen to me

SKIP TO 2:35


Its not completely untrue the show is great but i see it a just another shonen but done with a lot more togashi writing meaning crazy detailed and creative ideas especially the greed island arc which togashi does as a parady of Yu-Gi-Oh my favorite arc tbh but even so like I said its just "another shonen" I really do like the different ideas and settings togashi goes so far to show in crazy nuance he has a knack for writing characters with very clear and understandable goals and is as meticulous with his fights as the creator of Jojo's which can be a double edge at some times with a narrator for every character scene in the chimera ant arc so much so that it becomes a meme. With that being said Hunter x Hunter is definitely that is overhyped and definitely to an extreme point but most of it is for the wrong reasons and it my opinion its a solid 9/10 on first watch but has lowered to a 8/10 on rewatches cause of how long and strenuous some fights are that shouldn't be that long.

I'm just recently watched it and I am glad that it is extremely popular, otherwise I would not of have watched it. I genuinely confused how people actually hate this show. Is it because of how popular it is? I personally loved it but you don't have to and that's fine. I'm curious anyone who didn't like this show I'm really curious to why so let me know.

The fact that you say that is just mind blowing
The charecters are very well written, the story is interesting and very well written (especially in York New arc and Chimera Ant arc), the power system is full of detaill and different from everything ive seen in anime, the power dinamics are good, the fight scenes are beautiful
I have watched loads of anime and none of them ,so far, i can say reached the same heights as HxH.Its not perfect but its close to it, its peak shonen imo. If you dont like it or it just wasnt your cup of tea i can completly understand but calling it the most overrated show is just unfair to a incredible world and story that Togashi put toguether
