@AfroSamurai:
I recall thinking every single chapter in the last batch was a huge waste of time.
Last batch I enjoyed was Chrollo vs Hisoka. And that was basically a standalone plotline, nothing to do with the dark continent and the boat shenanigans.
Chrollo VS Hisoka wasn't even in the previous batch, it was in the one before!
Last batch we got:
-The mysterious Kakin capsule/tree thing powered by dead princes
-Cammy going crazy to kill Benjamin which leads to herself getting captured before being released by a judge (basically a plotline that went nowhere)
-The 4th prince is a specialist
-The spiders, now including Illumi, searching for Hisoka, and stumbling upon the newly introduced mafia
-A fodder called Luini getting unwarranted screentime (he'll be meaningless like almost every side character Togashi wrote recently)
I didn't reread the previous batch, so my memory lost some details, exposition, and monologuing, but it won't matter in the long run since very few stuff will actually get any payoff.
