You're going to hate everything after part 2

I know. It just re-inforces my view that Araki died after Part 2 and some imposter carried on the story.
It took 10 years for Berserk to get off the boat and it's still as fantastic as it ever was.
HxH is bar none my fav fictional story, it's still getting better and better.
I'd say let's let him take as long as he can.
Bleach and Naruto ended up as massive duds while HxH kept delivering the goods.
the Ant Arch is one of the best arc ever and the following ones while more lowkey are still fucking fantastic.
I'll complain about his schedule when he stops delivering awesome chapters.
And where the fuck can I access jojo, it's ridiculously hard to get frankly.

and for all the shit Kurapika gets, he killed less spiders than Hisoka. What we saw with the author's pet is easily the final extension of such a ridiculously simple power.
I'm beginning to wonder if the ants really could have dispatched Hisoka in the end...maybe the King?

Part 2 is a popular part to be fiar though some of that is because of Joseph

There's a part of me that thinks a person has to be a high level otaku to enjoy the later parts of Jojo and Hunter x Hunter.
This. Part 4 and beyond is Araki learning how to better balance the cast so that the Jojo doesn't take over the whole damn show.

Pretty much. He's shown that he's still got it. Best shonen writer ever imo!
I don't care if someone prefers that part, but it goes crap after Part 2 when Stands make things varied and more fun is just weird to me.
That being said, Part 5 sucks.

That's ok, I have Kingdom to obsess over.
Hey Caesar and Stroheim does stuff, Lisa Lisa, Speedwagon and smokey are useless or underused
Well it's very different, and I honestly I don't really care about the stands being varied when they're usually attached to one off villains that just kinda show up or have powers that are too complex for their own good. It's like, ok I know this dude is gonna be offed within the next 3 chapters, do I even care? I'm just not a fan of the formula tho the other stuff is great, my favorite part is 6 because of it. Also has a big bad that kinda shows up more often than previous ones and he's pretty dope.
But honestly if JoJo just continued to be a supernatural HnK, I'd probably like it more.

You would probably like 7 and 8

Caesar was a sacrifice, Stroheim...well he helped.
Damn it I miss world trigger, can't wait for the best squad combat series to come back.
By the way Jojo part 2 is trash, part 1 is more silly fist of the North Star/castlevania
After part 3 araki learnt how to make side characters that do more then stand around unlike part 2 where Joseph is the only character that matters.
Part 4 araki really found his style where Jojo really broke out of being silly fist of the North Star

just cancel it already. give us an ending. series went down hill with the bugs arc anyway.
Nope and the build up for the arc has been fantastic, better than ever.
Nope
You mean plot device.
We really needed that 5 minute crying scene to move the plot forward.
JJBA suffers from this stupid cliche, even in the later parts. It's hard to imagine how this series has gained such a big following... Oh, right, memes.

It's fucking hilarious. I actually like it, I don't take the plot as serious as I do with Berserk and Hiatus x Hiatus, but I still enjoy it.

Yeah so far some of my favorite highlights story wise are from Part 4. Part 5 has a story, but I like it more for stand hijinks than anything else.
He'll probably just retcon YYH into the young adventures of Ging Freecs.

"Hiatus" in the past has clearly meant he's slowly working on another batch. It'll be ready when it's ready. Relax.

Agreed. The Ant arc is in the running for GOAT shonen arc. It starts off a bit slow. It's long, you wonder if it has anything to do with the overall plot. Without spoiling that with an answer though, by the time you are through, you have been through one of the greatest arcs the medium of manga has provided

By the time I was done with that arc I was emotionally drained, it was that good.
Looks like Oda
The thread title was pretty clear though.
I don't need to be reminded of this.
Live Togashi, so that one day we may bathe in the light...for like two months (please at least)
I'm still confused about how the ant arc ended.
The King seemed just ridiculously OP and vastly outclassed anyone else in the series, and then suddenly all the ants got sick and died. Were the king's retainers right in that the king learning to relate to human emotions was a weakness that made him vulnerable? I still don't understand how all the ants just up and died when they seemed completely unstoppable like a day before in the story.
The King was hit point blank by a nuke. He was healed and made even physically stronger by Youpi and Pouf but he was suffering from a huge amount of radiation poisoning that even his incredible Chimera Ant body couldn't handle. Much the same happened to both Youpi and Pouf as well and even Komugi.
They were poisoned by the nuke released by Netero and it's not all the bugs just Meruem and two of the royal guards
Really? It was pretty clear I thought.
Meurem got poisoned by the bomb from the fight with the chairman, so it was a slow but certain death. The retainers died because they got poisoned too.

Dude
they got nuked and died from radiation poisoning. This isn't DBZ you can't power up through getting your blood cells poisoned.

I don't need to repeat what's been said, but dude, were you even paying attention???
All the greatest series require a long wait between releases

Sucks for fans, but after that ant arc I find it hard to give a shit about this series.
At least that election arc kind of gave us an ending, even if a ton of plot threads were left swaying in the wind.
No lies detected.

Ah, thanks.
I probably wasn't paying that close attention, since by that point I was following the series VERY loosely because of all the super sketchy drawings and all the hiatuses. So I only skimmed stuff once or twice a year by then, and each time I came back I had mostly forgotten what happened.
Radiation poisoning actually never crossed my mind.

Thanks for being a dick, dude.

Perhaps it's time his wife starts drawing for him. It would be fun seeing HxH characters drawn like Sailor Moon. 
It's going to be great finally having new chapters of Hunter X Hunter around the same time Guts
restores Caska's mind
beats Kaido
faces the World Champion
Uhh one of these is probably a lot closer than you expect.

The narrator is a vital piece for the story telling of that section of the arc. Not trying to be mean, but if you aren't going to give the Chimera Ant arc your attention, you are going to miss a lot and the impact of the arc will be lost on you
There is so much of a message about humanity in that arc. Spoilers concerning Gon in this arc;
Though Togashi admit in an interview he relied on it more than he wanted to.

I think the CA arc has a lot of issues and I dislike how a lot of things were handled, but I never really noticed the narration being a problem.
Unless that was different in the newer anime version.
