My two faves are Yorkshin and the Election arcs. Though well written and provocative and with great pairing stuff (and a new, even hotter Palm) it seemed...kinda like overkill?
more yorkshin fan ya *high five* and man the Election arc is one of my fav too. (Usually my top is YN just because it’s amazing in every ways to me, the hunter exam because it built up the characters dynamic, the chairman election arc, then the Greed island arc, then the CA arc, then the HA and then the ZF arc, this is more or less my classment) (and I still need to read that freaking Dark Continant arc but for that I need to finish my reading of the manga someone kick my ass so I do it tomorrow).
and for the CA arc... well honestly I’m biased on it because I was told by everyone “you’re gonna cry this is the worst arc, brace yourself” so I went in refusing to care for any of the characters introduced (and. by the end the only ones I cared about where Meruem and Komugi do you realize how mad I am. I refused to care for anyone bc I was scared of pain and the o n ly o n es I c a red a b out where the m!). I was expecting everyone to die tbh, or like, a huge half of it, so when the fights kept happening, I was honestly just sighing “just kill him already” when it was getting too long. Especially Morel, that I ended up loving once reaching the Chairman arc (and thus without the fear that the CA arc will kill him), because he had so much fights I was just expecting him to die at some point and I grew bored. (Knuckles too, I was so much expecting him to die, I just wanted him to die quickly before I get too attached, I spent the whole arc thinking “kill him quick pls I don’t wanna get attached” I feel horrible)
And like. I do feel like there’s a little too much stuff going on in the CA arc. I loved the new characters once I finished the arc, but it took me the whole arc to get attached and to care for them. I liked a few ants, but I didn’t have an extreme attachement either (aside, again, from Meruem).
Idk there’s tons of stuff that I didn’t exactly get into with the CA arc, but I do feel it was a little overcrowded and at some point, especially toward the end, the pacing was a little too slow to me. Still, I loved the Killua/Gon moments, I loved the Meruem/Komugi moments, I really liked Meruem’s development, and I liked a few things here and there too)
But I know that refusing to care is the worst thing that can happen to me when I watch something because then everything kinda lose its impact.
Again I do think the CA arc is amazing, I liked it a lot, but there’s still a lot of things that hold me back from really loving it. Honestly, nothing against the arc, I just have something against the “it’s undiscussingly the best arc” stuff ahah
but I’m glad I’m not alone feeling so :3
