In most places, it is March 3, 2018. Hunter X Hunter debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump on March 3, 1998, 20 years ago. I figured, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our beloved series, we could share some memories. How you discovered the series, what your favorite episode/chapter/story arc is, whatever. Also, where you're thinking not hoping the manga goes and whether or not there'll be a third anime adaptation might be good discussion points.

As for myself, I first discovered HXH with a KilluGon doujin. Ever since then, I was hooked. I downloaded all of the episodes from the 1999 series (OVAs included, I believe) from Dailymotion to that Dailymotion desktop video player or something(? It was in the late 2000's; a long time ago). I liked the show so much that I started writing my first-ever story, "The Fountain", before I had even finished watching it.

When I was finished with the show, I started to read the manga. I got to Gon's sudden transformation and stopped because there was nothing after that. Later, I decided to reread the manga and I stuck through the various hiatuses since.

My favorite arc has to be Greed Island. I can't really say why, but it is. Followed by the Chimera Ant arc, because it is brilliant and heartbreaking. And... I think that's all I'm gonna say. So, yeah. Share your stories and happy 20th anniversary to my favorite anime/manga series.
