Kite's death isn't shown, which is stupid. There are other complaints I have, though the last I'll mention are the anticlimactic battles. I couldn't believe how many times I was getting spoon-fed characters' emotional states and plot developments. I think it single-handedly turned this arc from being possibly one of the best in anime to just so-so. Holy hell, the narration was the worst part about the arc. Most of them I didn't care about for a majority of the arc. Another thing that is pretty bad about the arc are the side characters.

But, again, it takes forever to get anywhere. I can see why this arc is considered the best of Hunter x Hunter since Meruem's development is one of the best of any antagonist.

It wasn't until Meruem met Komugi that I found interest in the new antagonists, and it wasn't until the last two episodes that I found the viewing experience rewarding. No amount of payoff could warrant its length. It also takes forever to get through and I got Fairy Tail vibes from the egregious time spent on certain things.

It has a very slow start after the GI arc.
