HxH is a Shonen. Shonen are routinely well over 100 episodes. Naruto and Bleach were several times that before they ended.
That said, you are holding it to Shonen standards that it is bucking on purpose. Case in point:
You realize Killua and Gon never even saw Mereum?
That arc wasn't about Killua and Gon defeating Mereum. They weren't on his level. That's why HxH is good because it didn't come up with some bullshit to allow the heroes to beat a character beyond their level. It simply told two different connected stories, one for the primary protagonists and one for the antagonist.
But thats exactly what he did. Mereum and 2 of the other guards were poisoned to death. A poison that came out of nowhere by the way.
Funny how Gon wasn't on Pitou level either and yet...nevermind.
WTF? Did you miss when Gon avenged Kite and killed the one responsible for his death. Youpi and Pouf were never Gon's objective.
No. My statement is that fighting Mereum wasn't their objective and so I conceded that point. That doesn't absolved any of the other 5 gotdamn characters from not defeating anyone despite all this delicate planning.
You clearly didn't pay attention. The mood was not set for ass kicking. You were led to believe pretty on that the Hunters were overmatched. That's why they enacted such a complex plan because they knew they couldn't beat the ants straight up. The arc was about survival not ass kicking. But even with that, did you not see the President vs Mereum fight? That was a good fight.
What?! The Phantom Troupe didn't have a problem just beating the ants up! The ants came into their yard and they wrecked em..period.
When it came to everyone else turn I got people running around reminiscing, crying and making friends.
And Netero vs Mereum was some bullshit. Mereum tanked all his attacks and dude had no interest in fighting that old fool at all. That was no real fight.
I think the problem with you is that you don't really get HxH. It's not about mindless fighting. It has action, but it's supposed to be way more cerebral than that. The writer spends whole issues of the manga describing different concepts and plot points. You want us to compare it to Full Metal Alchemist and Yu Yu Hakusho, but it's nothing like those two anime so making that comparison is a mistake. It's like hating Cowboy Bebop because like DBZ and the fighting in Cowboy Bebop is nothing like what it is in DBZ.
No. Its typical bullshit like giving villains redeemable qualities, making them cute and making heroes look like goofs.
The troupe went against weak as fuck niggas. Didnt kite gon killua do the same? Meerum was not a villian. An antagonist yes a villain no. If that went over your head and you just threw him among the likea of buu, cell, and frieza you missed the point of his character. More crying about the fights? Bruh you seem more generally upset the show didnt follow basic tropes most shows do.
No I'm pissed a nigga conquered a human city and then spent the next 20 eps playing checkers and making friends. How you eating niggas and you not a villain? Lol stop it bruh. That shit corny.
Im pissed there was no comeuppance for all the shit he pulled out side of some suicide bomb deus ex machina.
