Hunter X Hunter Anime 2011: Chimera Ant Arc is coming soon

Hunter X Hunter 2011 Anime is now in it's 66th episode. The Greed Island arc has started and is progressing in a good pace so I decided to analyze a little bit how long is it going to last and when we are actually going to see story of Hunter X Hunter that is yet to be animeted: The Chimera Ant Arc.

In Hunter X Hunter manga Gon and Killua stepped on the Greed Island at the end of episode 60, which in manga represents chapter 127.

However, in episode 66 we saw Killua pass the 288th Hunter exam, come back to Greed Island, roll some dice and finally we saw some of the Gensuru's group doing their evil stuff. Alone this episode 66 contained 4 whole manga chapters from chapter 148 to 152, so I'm going to use this as a baseline for our progress.

 The Greed Island Arc ends in chapter 185, which means that in terms of manga chapters there's only 33 chapters to go where Hunter X Hunter anime is now. If we assume that the anime progresses in pace of 1 episode / 4 chapters, it would take 8 or 9 episodes to go to finish the Greed Island Arc.

I'm going to take it safe and say that the Greed Island will end in episode 67, which would mean that there's 10 more episodes to go. It's however possible that it could drag on as far as from 12 to 15 episodes long if the animators decide to make some scenes more longer than expected.

Well, in the end it isn't too long of a waiting time if the anime airs every week without breaks.

After all, we'll be seeing an amazing arc which hasn't been animated, Chimera Ant Arc which honestly trivials me a little bit. In manga it was very brutal which will definitely give some headache to the animators who obviously try to make the anime for the whole family or something. Anyway I'll be following how it turns out to be and most likely start writing recaps and comments of the Chimera Ant Arc.

I also hope we also get to see the Election arc after the ants: it was an incredible one.
