Hunter is very overrated. Most people rate it too highly. It's better than most Shonen but it's generic, and sometimes tries too hard to be deep. The nen explanations are over the top and too lengthy for one thing... I ain't learning that shit.
@Alex, I haven't. I can imagine that Arc being good, though.
Very overrated? More like underrated. Generic? It's not generic at all. It can be slightly generic, but nothing even close to begin mentioning as a criticism. It doesn't try too hard to be deep. It already is and casually. It's really not, unless you find it really hard. Everyone I know says it's actually done very well.
Chimera Ant Arc is long, but a lot of great things happened in the arc that a lot of people can guarantee it's #1 in the series and probably in the history of Shonen.
One Piece isn't the greatest Shonen. It has a lot of problems. Science that doesn't make much sense. Explanation being sub-par at best. The pace of the series is really bad. It's probably in my top 10, but not really anywhere near the very top.
