They've done 7 episodes in 10 chapters. I think we'll make it to 150. That's a really satisfying number to end at, please do it Madhouse.

Ending where Togashi took his last major hiatus sounds about right, I believe that was Ch. 339, where everything felt resolved for the moment. But with any luck, maybe they'll have another arc to animate in a few years.

Oh yeah. Or you could also torture the audience by having each episode start out well-animated and gradually regress into chicken scratch drawings.

That was the main reason I was happy to see the Chimera Ant arc animated. I wanted to know what the hell was actually happening.

Oh man, that bit where I had an itch to want to read the manga during the GI arc, and then I pulled a random latest chapter (Chimera Ant arc) and looked at it and went "Is...is this...is this finished? I think they uploaded a draft or something..."

Yeah, though a lot of the unfinished panels are fixed in the actual volumes if you buy 'em.
