| Since I didn't get any real answers in the original thread... I don't accept Meruem is a great villain as a statement of it's own, that means nothing. Explain |
| It's a different narrative than the one it brings. It shows character development. And it gives rise to a different direction in the series. I don't think it's overrated, HxH is a good work in its entirety. With many nuances, which keeps me hooked. I also agree, Yorknew City arc is the best, but I saw it in my childhood. So it's not a fair comparison. |

| Explanation eh~ It's not like you will magically like the arc even after you get long text wall detailed explanation.  I like it because I enjoy it, and you dislike it because you don't enjoy it, better leave it as that~ To me the story is good, the tension is good, the characters are good etc etc but I'm sure that's not the explanation you're looking for....sorry I don't watch anime to analyze it. I hope you get the debate you're looking for even though I know it wouldn't change your mind about how you feel about the arc. |

| Why can't you just accept that the arc is bad? Pretty much the only redeeming features about this arc are few basic shounen tropes like cool fights, brutally evils characters and power-ups. However, all of this can be found in other shounen with a higher quality. |

it's not just the arc that's overrated, the whole show is so overhyped and nowhere near as good as everyone praises it to be.
only good thing about the arc is the start and the rest just drags way too long.

| @daggerdrib True. I think the peak of the show was Yorkshin. The president's succession arc was kind of boring too. |

| @Rinrinka I'm not looking to change my mind but trying to understand the other side since you can't enjoy something retrospectively |

Meruem was not the villain
The humanity were the reals villains, thats the fact
Meruem was born and formed taking the thropic pyramid and the law of the strongest as logic, like us humans when we feed on animals, except that that was what condemned him, by being created based on these he ended up becoming one of them.

| @Velourdropbear this was one of the things that I liked, because we as a humanity really aren't the heroes there are heroes among humans though |

| @LoneTrain the zodiac twelve or however many of them there are was so weak character wise a lot of their personalities didn't get to be shown and they don't look legendary unlike ging, they are all portrayed as these characters that are nothing compared to ging they could've been made way cooler |
| it's good because it's cool when they play hyori ittai at the end of the ep and the narrator starts talking |

| I don't think it's good. Is this the validation you wanted? People are not going to convince you otherwise, you even filtered out one of the main points from people who enjoy it. There's plenty of good videos and essays around the web talking about it, it's been over a decade. If you really wanted to understand it, you would have already. |
| Still at it, huh?^^ Maybe it's the ridicolous statement, that makes a real answer difficult for people, who knows? What's this about Meruem not changing your mind?^^ So....he IS a great characters, you acknowledge that, but great characters just don't matter, when talking about Story-Arcs? "It means nothing" xDD ...Right. Good point. Here, I contribute one aswell: "Why is Schindlers List considered to be sad? I don't think it all that depressing. I didn't even cry. What makes it sad, guys? Serious answers only please" But since I know that you're very whiny about this stuff, here are some bullet-points: - It's got literal Alien-Mutant-Ants conqering the world, leading up to a bombastic climax where every character and every event matters - Hunter Association in action, for the first time, setting out to save the world, high stakes, beloved characters are fighting and dying - It contains Meruem and Komugi falling in love - There's Ikalgo, how can you not love him? - There is the Epic Fight between Meruem and Netero - We have Gon's Fall from Main-Character-Goodness - something that NEVER happens in standart Shonen-Shows - Kite as a character and his tragic end - There's a stealth Mission going on in the midst of all that - The Zoldyck's make an appearance Emotional Moments, politics, moral questions, Death, Revenge, change of heart, betrayal -> you name it. This Arc contains everything and everyone. How much do you need, my boy? Nothing you ever watched does outscale this arc, in terms of complexity. |

| I appreciate the in depth posts above |
| Find a thread I once made on the arc way back in 2022 I think it is called “love letter to the chimera ant arc” or something like that. I think I wrote a lot of the reasons why I love that arc there. |
