I think it also depends on what kind of person you are. I've read through the entire series but the Hunter Exam remained my favorite part of it.
Maybe the sense of purpose was missing. Maybe the Chimera stuff just wore me out reading it like I did. Maybe I'll feel different watching it all play out instead of exhausting myself with the manga.
But at the moment, this is the best part for me.
I won't spoil anything for the new people jumping on, but it's fair to say every arc of HxH is almost a completely different genre than any other arc. I found the Hunter Exam to be a bit standard shonen and light for me, but later arcs do things far differently and subvert expectations in key ways.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
So why not just have him be the examiner and not have the whole first half of the episode?
Because its to introduce that to be a hunter doesnt mean you are a assassin that kills people for a job, its a job that basically allows you to do anything you want as a profession without things like restrictions

So far, this feels like the best 2-parter set of episodes.
I dunno i really like the second part of the Mugen's backstory thing

....& then Sara stabbed both of them, ending the series.
If Harrison Ford can survive a waterfall so can Jin
Didn't survive another fall sadly.

Mugen hasn't become a level 5 Swordmaster yet, though. He can't use Astra.

Sara could have performed a double kill. >.>

Mugen has one of those nondescript anime wounds.
The one that doesn't look very deep or painful, but is potentially life threatening.

thats some anime bs >_>
OP Blind Samurai is a trope that goes long before and beyond anime. The dichotomy of the physical impairment and the preciseness required of the marital art is a pretty easy thematic well to draw from, I suppose.

But she didn't. That's how you can tell how weak she is.

But is it weakness or mercy?
Probably weakness.
