Had too much boring stuff... Fodder and unimportant characters were around too long, boring training arcs, misplaced flashbacks which don't serve any purpose at the moment, plot holes, too much exposition, even gon's rage wasn't fleshed out,...it seemed he got too angry and over reacted when kite died... Kite was important to his dad and kite also saved his life... However he didn't even know kite that well for him to sacrifice all that for revenge.. If it was let's say someone like aunt mito who died.. It would have had more impact... The only plot point that was actually interesting was Meruem and Komugi's relationship... That's why the ending was beautiful (barring a few inconsistencies)

Overall it was a good arc.. I saw what the author was trying to do and the story he was trying to tell. That's why I see it as the best arc in hunter x hunter, but tbh the arc was a rough mess and could have been condensed to about 30 episodes..[spoiler]

i love the chimera ant arc. it has by far the best representation of the word "human" in all of anime imo.
yes it is too long for it's own good, but if you get past the dragged out bits which compared to other similar anime aren't even that bad, you'll end up with a literal 11/10 hyper-masterpiece

I don't think it's worth watching at all. There's nothing that makes this arc stand out from the other shounen except from the lukewarm twist toward the end. Moreover there's a lot of unnessary and dumb things happening and there's pretty much nothing satisfying to look foward to.

While I myself don't like Chimera Ant arc that much compared to other arcs but isn't what Chimera Ant arc did at its conclusion stage perfectly embodies the spirit of a shonen anime. Full head-on emotions with helluva reveals and fights.

Either you must have something against these kinds of shows, but if you do, then why judge on your own perception and not whether it was immersible and made sense for the people to who it was targeted to?

I don't dislike shounen tropes it's just that I don't think the payoff at the end was satisfying. It's the lack of cohesion with the overall story of HxH that made this arc disappointing. Almost all the events occured during the arc never was foreshadowed nor had any impact with anything else in the story so it's hard to feel invisted and rewarded when the events are of temporary importance. There's also how the fights are pretty much all unbalanced so there's not so much satisfaction in watching a one side dominating the other. Well that's how it feels to me because I also hate it when it happens in One Piece despite being my favourite manga. So I don't have anything against Huntrash x Garbage specifically, it's just that everything it tried to do resulted in disappointment from me.

@Grunbeld_

emporary importance ?


Agree CA were not foreshadowed , but saying
'Almost all the events occured during the arc never was foreshadowed" shows that either you haven't watched the show or you were using 0 brain cells.
Cause big events like
all are foreshadowed very well. Chimera Ant Arc itself is a big foreshadowing.

One sided fight =/= unbalanced fight.
You have to come up with something new.


You do realize the arc is 60 episodes long and most of what you said happened toward the end of the arc and had basically nothing to do with everything that happened since episode 1. However, it has always been like that since the first arc. We get introduced to new mechanic that had no purpose in any new future arcs. Some things obviously stay relevant, but for a 148 episodes long anime that likes to explore new concept it's quite annoying to see those concept washed away the next arc without having proper time to flesh them out.

Also lol 'big event'. Because finally something is happening in the arc it's now a big event.

But sorry I'm not really good at explaining my thought especially when I don't have much time on my hands.

Man, don't you just hate it when you get a Cell ripoff, Ants that doesn't even look like ants, a furry, Kim Jong Un and a low-budget Okuyasu from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure from this wacky arc? For a series often acclaimed by its originality, it sure doesn't seem like one.

I am under the impression that this arc dragged heavily. While it had some peak moments it wavered when it couldnt make up its mind whether gons development was the main focus or exterminating the chimera ants(Although the chimera ants started it all). I personally liked the arc more for gon then anything else although the arc had some major plot holes (with the use of nen etc.) and while not filler content something that made me have a hard time watching then with the previous arcs. Overall i rate the arc in retrospect a overall 7. With highlights such as kites introduction/ weapon abilities,various battles,gons character development.I feel as if this arc also was unlucky considering we had pretty decently paced arcs prior not to mention 89% of them being amazing in my experience lead to setting expectations, especially since the arc is 50/50 loved or hated from what ive seen.

@Grunbeld_

So the events in CAA impact the arcs that aren't in the anime except the one that follows it? Wow such a great arc and anime indeed.

I never said the anime NEVER foreshadow things, I said it's an apparent problem in the anime. Gving some example is not contradicting what I said. You even edited my post so you could play with words like that and strawman me.



When I mentioned the unbalanced fight I was talking about the whole anime and not just this arc. But I'll be honest among the fight in CAA the only ones I remember is Gon vs Pitou and Netero vs Meruem and they were both boring to watch.

Do u know how many times on MAL i have seen best Shonen arc😂 i honestly think it gets more praise than hate, I understand the ending was good but the arc just has discontinued moments, a lot of narration and etc and the nos of deaths in this arc my own personal nitpick, togashi killed so many in this arc but the most important death that should have happened 'Kite' didn't happen

When I watched it in the anime I absolutely hated it, but when I read the manga I loved it. The animes pacing was so weird and slow imo it completely ruined the arc. If we're just going off the manga, it's probably my favorite arc of all time.

Kite did die but he was reincarnated. It’s speculated one of his nen abilities gives him the power to reincarnate after dying and that’s the weapon he got during that fight. I don’t know if you read the manga but in chapters after the anime you find out nen can be used after death and it makes someone much more powerful.

Chimera Ant Arc is my second fav arc for multiple reasons. The high points in this arc are by far the highest points in the anime. The tower invasion was when it started to get rly fuckin good. but pretty much everything before that was just so fuckin long. all the fights with the useless lower ranked chimera ants were boring and overall the arc did not need to be that long. so it has some pretty low points but the high points def make up for that

Well I will try to be the most objective. I absolutely love this arc but I have to say that it has the most slow beginning compared to the other episodes. And sometimes it can get boring. But when the assault starts it's great. It's villain (Meruem) it's one of the best on the entire show. Also this arc has great battles and character development for Killua, Gon, meruem and other characters. A great arc if you can resist slow episodes (and a bad narrator xD)

It was dragged out for too long,which made it sometimes really boring to watch, but if you get through it the ending of the arc really pays off. It's so good.

~~~SPOILERS~~~
The fight between the royal guards and the hunters was really good and the fight between the meruem and netero was just 10/10. The relationship between meruem and that snot girl was really interesting and fleshed out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm currently rewatching hxh and i have just gotten to the chimera ant arc again and ngl it's painfully dragged out. First viewing of the arc is sometimes a bit boring, but still very good. Rewatches are painful to get through.

Slow and dragged so hard akin to Shinsekai yori, there's no Hisoka in this arc iirc. Meruem was decent I guess as well as Pitou.
