I figure we should do this considering the show is ending in 2 days and we haven't done one of these yet? I'll tally to see which episode was voted the favorite among the HxH-GAF community. Lets make this a tribute for the show ending.
Rules: 5 episodes only. Brief description as to why you chose the episode
I'll start!
Hunter x Hunter 126 - Zero X And X Rose
This episode is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. It's rare when something can mold together so perfectly to create a masterpiece. The action, plot, dialogue, surprises, music, animation. All of it was perfect.
It was the first time we got to see the King fight against a nen user who was known for being the best in the world at one point. Hell the hype got to me and although the fight was pretty one sided (to my surprise) it didn't stop it from being a great one. In retrospect the fight represented Ants vs. Humanity. And although the Ant was the strongest being in the world, he lacked one thing, experience. The ultimate being knew nothing of what human beings were truly capable of, and he had to learn this the hard way. Boom
Hunter x Hunter 111 - Charge X And X Recovery
The plan is set into motion.
We the viewers were waiting for this moment for so long. So long but the wait was worth it. This kind of signified the beginning. There was almost no altercation between the enemy and the heroes before this moment and this was the episode that finally started it all. We get a glimpse of a legendary nen user who was almost portrayed as if he were a god in this episode
Hunter x Hunter 135 - This Person X And X This Moment
:'( Well this is the end. A very sad episode that made you wonder, what if Chimera Ants and humans were able to live together on the same planet? What if, instead of fighting, Netero would have tried to discuss a different option for the Ants and humans? Would everything have turned out okay? We'll never know.
The episode was very symbolic and deep. What the gungi moves meant and their position. The "light that illuminates all" character is now shrouded in darkness while the blind women finally was able to see the light. Very deep episode. Wish I could find the link where this is explained well.
Hunter x Hunter 85 - Light X And X Dark
Yay, we finally get to see why Gon has such a strong connection with Kite. Only 85 episodes late, lol.
Before this point, the Ants weren't as scary as Kite hyped them up to be but that changed very quickly. The Royal Guard finally shows themselves and Kite's realization that this is worse than originally thought. The beginning of Gon's rage kind of originated here too. It's the first time we see the support show up and I couldn't help but get excited from this. I guess one of the reasons that made this episode to impactful was that the entire fight was off-screen and then Togashi leaves us with that final panel. Its's one of my favorites ever.
Hunter x Hunter 116 - Revenge X And X Recovery
"Nande yo, Nande yo"
Man I freaking loved this episode. I loved that we got to see Gon's emotions in full glory here. Not only was he enraged but he was absolutely confused as hell. The boys were thrown into this situation where the ant was trying to save a human and Zeno didn't help one bit by saying something so cryptic. Killua understood the situation relatively quickly while Gon was a complete mess. This is also the episode where Gon tells Killua basically to fuck off. "This shit doesn't concern you". And actually just recently (episode 147) was when Gon finally apologized to him. Pretty crazy
That's my list. No, I didn't have all my episodes from the Chimera Ant arc on purpose, it just turned out that way. I would've put Gon vs. Hisoka somewhere in there but the fight was split into 2 episodes.

Jigolo your list doesn't have any Yorkshin in it, so it is invalid.
IDK what my top 5 but most are in Yorkshin. Such a good arc, I put just above the Chimera Arc.
I do think the next arc in the manga will top it though. Maybe we can get new episodes in 2016 if Togashi can stay alive.

shit it's hard for me to think of a top 5. There's so many good ones. Every episode on your list would be on mine. I would try to add episode 131 as well.
Man, the Chimera Ant arc had a lot of amazing episodes. From some of the earlier ones, I love the Gon and Hisoka fight as well as the Kurapika vs. Uvogin fight. Also the episode with the phantom troupe going on a rampage and that dodgeball battle in greed island. Too many to count

;_; This makes me happy, but then I think of that scene. Holy fuck feels everywhere.
I thought his brain was extracted and fed to the queen while Pitou played with the body/used it as a training dummy.
Did you finish it? The last arc is really short (and awesome.)

In my head, the closes Togashi will resume the manga is around July next year. This anime was great, it had its problems (first arcs, pacing in ant arc), but it was all worth it.

I thought the pacing on the Ant arc was great myself for the most part. It was probably the most well done in terms of story presentation besides the Kite thing.
I had no issue with the pacing of the Ant arc. Even watching it weekly over a year, I was engaged the entire time. Some people didn't like when they focused on what were minor characters, but I thought it all payed off well by the end and the buildup was worth it.
The next arc is short and sweet if that's your thing.

Well, it's almost over. To think I only marathoned this wonderful series a month ago. I'm really going to dread dealing with the indefinite hiatus. I know I'm LTTP on that aspect but fuck.

Didn't see this. I'll have to rewatch them all tonight to make an opinion. But I think the Yorknew ones are prety damn good. The only weak one I can remember where I really didn't give a fuck was the Gon and Kil go to Whale Isalnd an meet Mito-san.

The manga is only 10 or so chapters ahead of where this ended.
Sorta wished the would slip a little DC arc moment at the end.

That teaser
Does that mean that the world trees can take us to space????
I've already said all I could at this point, but here we are. This anime existing at all is already a miracle, doubly so when it's this good. My favorite episode stays what it always was, the Kurapika vs Uvo fight (or the Uvo massacre before then, somewhere around that point in the story). Although my favorite arc is GI, all others in the top 5 episodes will be from the ant arc for sure.
Ending was pretty much perfect. No manga teasing or anything. Assuming people keep hints out of this thread too, it shouldn't be too hard to accept this as the ending to the story. Even Kurapika's plot thread isn't as open-ended as it could be.
You guys who are going to join us in the manga thread should probably wait until they announce that Togashi's coming back before doing that. It could take anywhere between a few weeks (if he suddenly gets better, considering they were clear that the current hiatus was unexpected) to a few years.

I'm putting money on a Early December return and then a Hiatus 12 weeks later.
The one butler under Tsubone didn't know, which is why she was surprised. Someone in the family decided, probably.
I'm a little sad they didn't tease
Beyond Netero.
Yeah, though Tsubone put her finger in front of her mouth to tell the other to stay silent about it. I guess the family saying so would be a reason, maybe to not make Killua feel guilty or something.
