shyt stopped just after Greed Island and most of that GI arc was boooooooooooooooring (the 5 eps centered on the dodgeball stuff had me

) but I kept watching till the end because I thought Gon finally was about to meet his father. So then after the last ep, I read the wiki about HxH, I found out, there was more

So I read the manga and I'm now at the final fight in the Kimera Ant and well, there's some classic stuff. The Dragon Dive attack and the way it was shown in stop motion in the manga was simply beautiful. I went through a lot of BS to finally witness some quality storytelling.
So far, HxH disappointed me a little though. The Phantom Troupe arc was serious and extremely dark and I liked it. But otherwise it's really childish. Even the beginning of the Kimera Ant arc was super corny. Fortunately the Attack on the King phase is raising the bar and it will defo be epic in the Anime. Now I'm at chapter 290 and it's about to get real.
