Chimera Ant is one of the most disappointing arcs in all of shonen.

The Chunin Exams is probably going to go down as the most famous Shonen arc simply because of how well it did the Tournament saga

Sure, One Piece is full of them

Enies Lobby vs Chimera Ant turns HxH into Yamcha in the crater, for instance

That multi-episode section where like 6 seconds passed in real time and the narrator kept interrupting the action is like the worst decision I've ever seen made in a show.

But other than that it's a great anime and that's a great arc.

York New is good too but eh, I wouldn't place it above Chimera Ant.

The arc where the MCs were mostly side lined for a bunch of one offs nobody cared or about? Yes.

The beginning of the invasion were some of my favorite episodes.

Besides Leorio who I admit should get more attention, who was sidelined? Gon and Killua both played big roles, and it wouldn't make sense for Kurapica to be there, plus he was already given his own arc. I needed a break from him, lol.

It's been a while since I read it but I dont recall them doing much at all after the first half. And nothing the second, at least not combat wise.

And after what happened against Pitou the series never recovered in my opinion, and not long after the next arc I just tuned out.

Dont recall this juxtaposes thing. Meruems development isnt relavant here, and the ending of Gons decay was nothing sort of the series 'jumping the shark' moment.

I've actually never seen Saint Seiya. I know the characters and basic story though. I should sit down and watch it properly since I'm not doing anything anyways.

Golden Age arc is def one of the best anime arcs ever doe.

York New is really close behind for me though, like it's practically tied but I put Chimera Ant arc slightly ahead because I think Mereum is one of the best anime villains ever.

It's not for everyone I guess. Some people HATE the narration for example but I absolutely love it.

You can watch the whole thing on Netflix. Make sure you get the original and not the Netflix remake.

Tbh galaxian wars & black saints (the first two arcs) are kinda shit. It gets great after that. The Misty fight (beginning of silver saint arc) is one of my favorites.

Okay, nice. I didn't know Netflix had the original, thought they just had the CGI animation thing. I will def be watching it then.

the point is that saying Gon and Killua do "nothing" in the second half is blatantly wrong. they're both major participants in the raid on the palace
