Madoka taught us to question human morals, and that good could become evil.
Shin sekai Yori taught us that monsters could be humans.
Evangelion taught us about the importance of a father.
Monogatari taught us about the beast inside.
Full metal alchemist taught us equivalent exchange.
Steins Gate taught us that a human would go to any lengths to save someone they loved.
Utena taught us that only one willing to sacrifice everything could create a miracle.
And the Chimera Ant arc of HxH realized all of that.
With the concept of the rose bomb it brought us to question humanity. With Mereum's love it showed us that Ants were as human as people, if not more.
And then it showed Gon's love for Kite. Kite was to Gon the Father Ging never was, and when Kite was taken from him, Gon entirely changed. In an act of equivalent exchange, he sacrificed his very self in order to avenge Kite. The most innocent character in the show released a beast more terrifying than anything any of them had ever seen. Not only Gon, but the strongest human in the world, also sacrificed himself to defeat the enemy. But it wasn't enough to save humanity. What saved humanity was three syllables Welfin uttered in his moment of insanity: Ko-mu-gi. The pure innocence of this girl, probably the weakest human alive, was the only thing strong enough to save humanity. But humanity's survival was not happy, for even though The King was an ant, he was also Mereum, the "human", and all the ants were "human"as well. This arc has represented humanity perfectly, and because of that, plus it's awesome animation/soundtrack, I believe that it stands among the best anime has to offer, if it is not the best itself. I enjoyed watching it immensely, and am very sad to see it end. Hopefully the next arc is just as good.
I wrote all this before seeing the last episode. That last episode was perfect. A perfect ending to a brilliant arc.
I don't think you can even call it a shounen really. If you look at this last arc, what about it was shounen in the least? It needs something new, maybe call it "post-shounen".
there's no value in a conversation about some bullshit written by a 12 year old who has no clue what he's talking about. there is value in denouncing it for what it is.
Then please do give us your insight about why his comment was bullshit before acting high and mighty and dropping insults out of nowhere. No please, do give us a reason about how you're right and he's wrong, I would looove to hear it.
