Hunter Exam Arc (Ep. 1-21)
This Arc contains Episode 1-21 and is the beginning of Gon’s journey towards becoming the most powerful Hunter to ever exist. If you haven’t already guessed in the title, it follows the Hunter Exams, an event where every wannabe Hunter has to go through in order to even start working as a Hunter. This arc is full of adventure and thrill as Gon never even imagined the amount of danger that comes with the job.
It adapts Chapter 1 to 38 of the Hunter X Hunter Manga and is the first arc in the series. You know, Gon isn’t the only main character in the series and this is where you are introduced to Killua and the others.

Zoldyck Family Saga and Heavens Arena Arc (Ep. 27-36)
Zoldyck sounds like a water-type Pokemon, am I right? And Heaven’s Arena sounds like an old medieval movie that has King Arthur as the main character. But boy oh boy, you don’t want to miss these arcs.
Although unofficial, the Zoldyck Family Saga is a very important part of the Hunter X Hunter series as we are introduced to one of the families of the main characters. The Zoldyck Family Arc only lasts from Episode 22-26 and is one fun arc to watch.
Moving on the Heavens Arena Arc. This arc should be the second official arc in the Hunter X Hunter series and lasts from Episode 27-36. As you can probably tell by the word “Arena”, if you don’t have a goldfish brain like me, this arc follows a tournament style story. I ain’t no psychopath that’s gonna spoil your fun, so I’ll leave the rest up to you!

Yorknew City Arc (Ep. 37-58)
The word “Yorknew” is like that time you copied your seatmate’s assignment but just changed the words so you wouldn’t get caught. I must say the name might seem a little funny but this Arc is hardcore. This Arc is also called the Phantom Troupe Arc and contains Episodes 37-58 of the anime adaptation. It’s the fourth arc in the series and this is where things start getting a bit dark (if it wasn’t already). This is one of the most “Canon” arcs in the series so you MUST NOT skip it.
If you skip it, kick the bucket you must. It has a LOT of battles and my oh my do things go crazy. I already said it, this arc is a must watch as it has a lot of important parts that come to play in the climax of the series.

Greed Island Arc (Ep. 59-75)
Okay, if Heaven’s Arena sounds like an old medieval movie, then Greed Island sounds like a C-rank horror film. Well, I guess it doesn’t sound as weird as One Piece. Those guys come up with janky names for their arcs. The Greed Island Arc comprises Episode 59-75 of the Hunter X Hunter anime series.Its the fourth arc in Hunter X Hunter and let’s just say it’s just like the Hunger Games.
The Greed Island Arc is basically Hunger Games if Katniss Everdeen had Nen. This is where we see Gon and Killua’s growth as the duo push on to find Gon’s father and become the strongest Hunters.

Chimera Ant Arc (Ep. 76-136)
The Chimera Ants Arc is probably one of the best Arcs in Hunter X Hunter only second to the Dark Continent Arc which wasn’t adapted in the anime YET. It has the most intense battles and the most iconic scenes in the Hunter X Hunter series. The Chimera Ants Arc is from Episode 76 to Episode 136. It was adapted from Chapters 186 up to Chapter 318 of the Manga.
It opens up a new horrific horizon for the series and Gon. Here we see a new side of him that wasn’t introduced to us before. There are a lot of unexpected twists in this arc so you should watch it. Never in my life did I want someone to not skip something. GO WATCH IT NOW! I SAID NOW!

The Ultimate Hunter X Hunter Filler List
Before we get into it, you have to know that there are two anime adaptations of the Hunter X Hunter Manga. The first one aired in 1999 while the second one was the more popular of the two and put Hunter X Hunter on the market which premiered in 2011.
The first Hunter X Hunter adaptation had a total of 62 episodes and last aired on March 31, 2001. The 1999 adaptation adapted Volume 1-11 of the Hunter X Hunter Manga but went on to keep airing with a lot of OVAs. It had a total of 30 OVA episodes which boosted up the number of episodes to 92. It only covered up until the Greed Island Arc.
The second Hunter X Hunter adaptation premiered from October 2, 2011 all the way to September 24, 2014. This adaptation is the one anime fans loved the most. It doesn’t mean you’re better if you were first, keep that in mind kids. This is the adaptation we’ll be looking at the Filler List today as it covers the Hunter Exam Arc all the way to the Chairman Election Arc.
What is Hunter X Hunter?
If you didn’t already know, Hunter X Hunter is a shounen anime series adapted from the manga of the same name. It has a total of 148 episodes and started airing back in Fall 2011. It was also animated by one of the legendary studios in our generation, Studio Madhouse. The story is amazing, the plot is captivating, and I’ve never seen a guy who loved wearing green more than Gon.
The plot of Hunter X Hunter follows that exact kid named Gon Freecss. Gon, just like any other shounen protagonist, was left by his overpowered father when he was still a child. By the time Gon could walk his father was GONE, get it? I know, I’m just that big brain. So Gon ventures to this world where people known as Hunters take on life-threatening jobs. This spiky haired green spongebob wanted to become the greatest Hunter in the world and find his father.
