    Greed Island: Hunter X Hunter’s Low Point

    Alright, let me get this out of the way: I don’t like this arc. There are a few high points that make it worth watching, I’ll admit that. But it’s one of the few Hunter X Hunter arcs that I wouldn’t want to rewatch at any point. The story picks up immediately after Yorknew, with…
