When does this series get good?
>>148117961
Never. People mistake the LN exposition with "strategy" and Gon going SSJ as "original".

Season 1 kept me intrigued but season 2 seems to be a "tournament" cop out. Is it worth it to keep on watching? Does it ever get better?

The tournament arc is probably the weakest, followed by the Heavens Arena arc. My favourite is the Yorknew City arc; in the 2011 version, it was a masterpiece.
>>148117961
York New arc for me
could be as early as the Heavens Arena could be as late as the Chimera Ant arc
>>148117961
yorknew city and chimaera ant are the only ones worth watching imo, the other arcs really drag it down
>>148118649
The tournament arc IS the Heavens Arena arc
>tfw liked the Hunter Exam arc unironically
Maybe I have shit taste, but it helps it was something I'd watch weekly instead of binge watching. I think I just watched to kill time.

it's fine as an arc in it of itself but HxH fans hyped the series up as "so different and better than your usual shounenshit" imagine newcomer's surprise when its first arc is a fucking tournament arc
imagine their surprise again when they find it's second arc is also a fucking tournament arc
What's with Togashi and Tournament arcs? YYH had like 3 of them.
>>148117961
Never. People just tend to like trash, look at Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece for prime examples of shit.
Gon does sound like Ryuko
IMO the yorknew city arc , before that its extremely boring and I'm surprised at myself for sticking with it that long.
>>148119983
Normally I'd say
>watching the dub
but the only way to watch a shonen is weekly and dubbed.

It's a shitty training arc and personally I dislike those in general but it ends pretty quickly and the good stuff with Kurapika's revenge will begin.
Chimera Ant arc after that is surprising in its brutality and has some good moments.

I really like Yorknew too.
>>148117961
When they get to Heaven's Arena is literally when I started finding it interesting.

YYH is nothing but a series of tournament arcs disguised as "cases". Maybe the first case that introduces Hiei and Kurama isn't a tournament format but everything else either is that or a series of 1:1 fights in a set arena.

When Netero dies. Fucking kill yourself and go rewatch your favorite anime for the 20th time (K-on).
>>148117961
From episode 80 on. I'm serious, I also hated it before that but it got pretty interesting
Kurapika is best girl, so his New York arc was unsurprisingly the best arc. But I was disappointed with the way they handled the Shadow Beasts. They get introduced as some serious stuff, then half an episode later they're jobbing to make the Phantom Troupe look cool.
Also, I'm still butthurt overbeegirl getting killed.
>>148122576
> girl getting killed
I was seriously worked up, so merciless. Same as what happened to that poor bow and arrow guy.
Manga around chapter 40, anime around episode 149.
>>148117961
It doesn't. Trust me.
From the start.
