Alright, finally time for the arc you people keep saying this has all been building toward. Better be all that and a bag a chips, for what I've invested in this so far...

you know, it would be pretty funny if we did all this poo poo and crossed heaven and Earth and risked certain death to get here only to realize that Gene died years ago from like, diabetes or something

oh right, I forgot this world is full of super hosed up, dangerous creatures I kinda forgot most poo poo introduced during the Exam Arc, tbh.

why the gently caress were you fishing like 5 yards away from a colony of these things, then

The strangest thing about this flashback is that it was in the first chapter of the manga, they just didn't add it in the anime.CharlestheHammer posted:What this is the best arc by a lot. It would have been significantly better if it was at least half as long and I hated every single Chimera Ant character except the two that convert. It ended up being a gigantic slog that was really hard to get through.

Yeah all this originally happened in the first chapter. Kite here is the one originally told Gon his dad was alive and was the one who inspired Gon to become a Hunter, and that he was looking for him too. Kite gave Gon Ging's hunter licence and told him to continue on the search for him,

I like that the bumper spoils what I assume is a fairly big twist about these ants.

Like Gon's ideal for being a Hunter was based entirely on Kite.

Like, not knowing that, this would just feel like a badly tacked on backstory retcon.

Can’t wait to see what kind of hosed up bug monsters our boys will have to face later.

The human characters were all really good but up until we finally get one of the Big Three ants they can all be summed up as boring, generic bad guys, one of which wants to protect the queen. That alone takes like 15 episodes of this arc. Also one of the late eps is almost entirely narration.
