Yup, up until this episode you're supposed to be clueless.

Wow that was a pretty fantastic episode to end the arc off. Where other people would have rushed into things without providing any good conclusion for the ants, the writer instead focused on one story, and an emotional one at that that was actually wholly believable and closest yet for ants to be human. I teared up.
Killua scene was great too, just wish Gon could treat him better after all hes taken him through
Chimera arc had its ups and downs but largely remained much better than the first exam arc, but behind Heavens Arena (best arc) and Greed Island (2nd best), imo.

but why does it feel like Killua will be gone for this whole arc and Gon out of commission since they have nothing to do with really voting or all of that and the eight new characters and such as well. There doesnt even seem to be any actually dark or antagonistic threat teased, like the other arcs started off with such an event.

Such a that the anime is coming to an end with the next arc. This should've been the next big shounen.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
This show is truly god-like. I said got damn!

so now that there was an episode that you actually liked, i'm interested to hear
how did you feel about the
Kaito
HxH 136
Also, HE RETURNS!!!!
So I guess this is the true end to the arc. I'm glad that some of the ants got a happy ending, and the little ant being Reina was a very cute touch. I thought that the ant Colt saved would be her, but I guess not. Speaking of, the ant Colt saved being Kite is.... very odd. Not sure how I feel about that. Seriously, REALLY confused about that. Can't wait till next week to see who the Zodiac (I assume that was them) are. Apparently Ging is one of them, so maybe he'll show that he's a good father and help save his son. I wonder what Killua's going to do though to save him.

yes the visuals is what i meant
i don't know how they'll top Hyori Ittai as an ending. The beginning of the song fits perfectly when the episode is transitioning into the ending visuals. I like Reason better as a song though.

Call me cold hearted but I didn't really care for this episode.
I thought the whole first half was pointless. Second half was alright. And when did Baby with a sword aka
come into it?

It's about to catchup on the current manga arc.
And the author is so notoriously slow and break prone that we have no idea how long the next manga arc will take.
To keep this running, the show would turn into 100% fillers essentially.
But I feel like the end of the next arc is a particularly great place to stop.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Curse Togashi and his (well-deserved) laziness.

I mean he did say spoilers for the end of the arc so if you read it it's not his fault.
That being said it was unnecessary to post it in the first place.

Why would you put spoilers for the end of the arc even in that when the title of the thread says no manga spoilers?

episode 136 spoilers:
Some viewers might be confused by Kite's reappearance since he was turned into a doll rather than ground up and consumed. It could be easily explained away with some off-camera brain scooping though. My memory of the earlier episodes is a little hazy though, so they may have hinted at this.

Good episode that tied up loose ends, but I wish it didn't spend so much time on the ants. I wonder what's gonna happen to the story since one of the protagonists is out of commission and the other peaced out somewhere. Also what's with that
reveal? How does that even happen?
Anyway can't wait for Hisoka to return P:

I wish mods treated this thread the way they handle the Game of Thrones one. People just keep on posting spoilers and discussing the manga.
No one gets street cred for having read the manga. We don't care. So stop it.
So many great moments ruined by "Oh, but you won't believe what happens next!" bullshit.

I don't know how HxH can be OP-like, but the bolder part is getting me hot and bothered.
Awesome finale to the Chimera Ant arc, but it doesn't stop hold it's punches, leading to fucking Ging showing up at the end. This show really knows how to keep you hooked. Goddamn.
I think he's referring the the designs of the Zodiac. They look like rejected One Piece characters tbh.

136 was pretty good very excited for the next arc. Not gonna lie,
that part with Reina made me tear up a little

i think Ging's character design is great and (sadly) ii don't know how an older gon is going to surpass or match it.
Exactly, lol.
Yeah, it feels a bit like Togashi couldn't stop making weird animal/human hybrids after the Chimera Ants. I realize that gives him a bunch of options in terms of character design, but c'mon, that's a lot of weird people all of a sudden.
(... then again, I think that, and then I see Beans...)

I think the consensus is about 13.
So we got 3 months of HxH left. I'm trying to stave off the desire to read the manga.
yay, all summer! Sounds good!
And yeah, same here about the manga, but I'll stay strong haha

But Kite wasn't like the soldier dolls whom Pitou controlled with her strings right? Since Pitou was shown performing brain surgery on that one hunter I assumed it was similar manipulation. He would need at least a portion of his brain to maintain his autonomous reflexes. Maybe she lobotomized half of it to serve to the queen and the other half for zombie Kite lol.
I thought the Reina reunion was sadder than the King and Komugi...lol.
next episode
Same, and I completely forger about her.
Gon sure went about finding Ging the wrong way. All it took was one call from Hunter HQ and he showed up. Where was he and all the those other "zodiacs" when their chairman was sacrificing his life ? This organization doesn't make a shred of sense.
Fine episode that did a good job of tying all loose ends, the ultimate denouement reminds me a bit of the Pain Arc.
I used to discuss aired episodes openly but I feel it's better this way and some don't watch previews so gotta tag that too so might as well tag everything.
