Great Arcs

4. Palace Invasion

The climax of the series really pissed me off at first, and sadly the pacing takes a hit due to how spread out everything becomes. Not a big fan of the nuke, or of Youpi walking away from that massive battle unscathed and feeling like it's been a gigantic waste of time, or of Ikalgo having worms in his scalp (FFFFF). But it hits so many emotional highs - Killua crying to Palm, Gon vs Pitou, and that final Meruem/Komugi episode - that it overcomes its flaws.

3. Queen Chimera Ants

Massive point deductions for Kite's crew (who fortunately don't wind up playing a major role) and for that unforgivable interlude about Gyro. Massive points for developing a fascinating set of powers, some ridiculous (but not scrubby) character designs, the pink koala, Colt's character, and the horrific way in which Kite dies.

2. Greed Island

Weird stakes as we're just out in this completely isolated world, but fun training/level-up, the development of Gon's (admittedly shitty) signature strike, and the only satisfying, arc-ending battles of the series in the dodgeball and Genthru fight. Points for video game tactics like trading cards and camping the spawn points. Not sure whether to award positive or negative points for the epic Ging-trolling.

I'm also attributing Ging's tape and G/K's pathetic attempts to raise money to this arc, and this arc wouldn't rank this highly without that stuff. The money-raising happens during the Yorknew arc but it's absolutely hilarious, and this is the best of the G/K-bonding. And perhaps my favorite part of it all is the episode which instigates everything, G/K on Whale Island, which made me almost tearily nostalgic.

1. Chimera Ants - post-NGL

The preparation for the invasion winds up giving us some really unexpected joys. Knuckle and Shoot are never better than when they're randomly developed strongly and turned into good guys. Then you've got Ikalgo and Melereon, who are amazing to be around. You've got that randomly heart-rending scene where the Queen dies. And of course, you've got Meruem's tabletop romance with Komugi. Really good material here with a disparate cast.
