There is also the fact this arc is as long as all the previous arcs before it combined episode wise.
Yeah, I'm really not feeling this arc. Where as I binged through GI because I was enjoying it so much, I feel CA is a crawl. Also because of how hard they are foreshadowing the idea that "the ant's are learning how to be human" I feel like I already understand the gist of this arc and I am kinda eh on it.
I'm gonna say if that's your read so far then you should keep watching as that's only one small facet of the CA arc.
I'd guess there aren't any 60+ episode/130+ chapter arcs that don't drag to an extent.
I liked the CA on my first watch and loved it on my second, it's obviously not for everybody though.
I was watching this vid.
And I didn't know that Togashi said
back in 2013. It makes sense considering where things are going but yeah. I didn't know he was that blunt about it though lol.
And I didn't know that Togashi said
Kurapika and the Phantom Troupe will all die
Full interview:
As others have pointed out, given the overall tone of the interview, he was probably just being a little cheeky/trollish by saying that they'll all die (eventually).
But as long as all their ends are well thought-out and significant (especially Kurapika's), I wouldn't mind it.

I don't think that the Chimera ants were merely 'learning to be human' so much as they were creatures realizing consciousness that was at the same time human and inhuman. Any form of humanity they attained could never be like a human as a human. They're like a bizarre entanglement of human and alien. I think this is pointedly asserted in an ironic reversal in the ultimate resolution with Netero and the King, as it touches on the violence of alienation within the notion of what a human really is. Like the ants are more human than humans, but at the same time they're alien. It's like a broken mirror.
One of my favorite little moments in HxH is when Gon keeps getting smacked by Canary, and Leorio (and I think Kurapika, but prolly more so Leorio) was getting super pissed ready to fight at the 10th time Gon was knocked back on the ground, then Gon grabs Leo's arm and just looks him in the eye and shakes his head. I feel like at that moment Leorio (and Kura if he wasn't aware before) really starts to understand Gon to a deeper level.
I feel like Gon and Leorio (probably more so Gon) are such strongly characterized people that it's like you put them in a certain situation, and it's like dropping a boulder off a cliff. It ain't stoppin. But then you have this moment where Leorio realizes that him loosing control would really just undermind Gon's satisfaction in that scenario, and for the rest of time that Canary is smacking him around, they're calm. Because they know this is literally the best course of action to please their friend. And even though it's a fucked up situation that Gon is in, they know it'd be more fucked up and unfair in Gon's eyes that he'd have to live with a situation where they did get in the way. It's like if you can't handle Gon, get out of the kitchen.

That scene has my favorite panel of Gon. Perfectly encapsulates his character.
Now that I think of it I think the Gon shaking his head thing might only be a 1999 version thing, but either version gets across the same development of course. That head shake struck me though.
I swear somebody is going to bump this thread, it'll be new update news and I'll die like:

I was just about to bump the Berserk thread with news that there's no chapter this month, but then realized the bump might make many think there is one. :p
It's like Togashi and Miura are both racing each other to not finish till the heat death of the universe.
The subliminal messaging is real.It's like Togashi and Miura are both racing each other to not finish till the heat death of the universe.
Lol, I wonder if you can find this stuff in random Berserk panels.The subliminal messaging is real.
My god I keep looking up posts explaining Beyond Netero's situation and asked on a discord server but as soon as I think I'm getting it I read something else that throws it off.
Ah, ok.
I've been trying to edit there more. We finally got all the summaries done for the current arc.
