Time for my final thoughts on Hunter x Hunter (2011). First I'll tag some thoughts about the final arc, then I'll do general thoughts.

I thought the election arc was good. I wasn't a fan of the vice chairman but when his motives were fully revealed at the end, that was pretty good and redeemed a lot of the more annoying parts. I'm not sure Cheadle will be able to run the hunter organization though, the whole arc was her getting jerked around in ways I doubt Netero ever was. The need for a strong leader was also made fairly clear when Hisoka and Illumi basically murdered their way through an entire Hunter faction! I've never understood how this setting functions to begin with though, given how many super-murderers, creatures, and weapons of mass destruction there seem to be.

The Killua portion of the arc was my favorite part of it though. A few years ago I read through a bunch of the spooky items on the SCP Foundation website, and Alluka would have fit in there no problem. I liked her as a character, but also how her powers worked (they showed the scene of that poor butler being wrung so many times, it was great). I think it lost something near the end when Killua circumvented all the rules no problem, but oh well. Gon meeting Ging was nice too even if I agree with everyone else in that he's a terrible person/father. I would've voted Biscuit in the first rounds, but after that punch I was all aboard Leorio for chairman!

One final thing that was neat, there were a few times during the ant arc where I wondered where Hisoka was because that seemed like the sort of thing he would get a huge boner for. Turns out he just doesn't follow the news, LOL. It was neat that they acknowledged it.


So overall, Hunter x Hunter was a pretty amazing show. There were a few low points, as to be expected from something with 148 episodes, but on the whole it was entertaining and the highs were all really good. All of the arcs were enjoyable, but if I had to rank them...

Arena > Greed Island > Chimera Ant > Exam > Election > Yorknew > Zoldyck

Favorite characters: Biscuit, Palm.
