Favorite & Least Favorite Arcs In Manga/Anime

What are your favorite and least favorite arcs from manga and anime that you like? You can post as many as you want, and please describe why you like the arc(s) so much.
The ones I can think of for now are all from One Piece. The Enies Lobby arc was CRAZY. It had everything that you need to make an awesome story (comedy, action, drama, suspense, etc.). And it was the first exposure I had of the One Piece manga (I found out about One Piece through 4Kids' bastardized version of the anime). The other arc I liked was the Alabasta arc. I thought that it was real good at portraying a civil war and it showed how people can be so easily swayed these days.
The arcs I didn't like were the Drum Island arc and the Thriller Bark arc. I don't have a definite answer, but those two were just boring to me. It was like Oda could've done better with those, but he couldn't really find a way to do it.
So, what are you favorite and least favorite arcs?

..you must be scarred for life...
anyhu.. the best arcs in an anime/manga..
ofcourse it would mention arcs from Claymore, Onepiece,Vampire Knight and Gantz!
@One piece = Undoubtedly the Enies Lobby arc and the current Impel Down arc.
@Claymore = the Fight in the North arc. EPIC..very EPIC.
@Gantz = the Dinasour alien, the Onii + Vampire aliens arc!
@Vampire knight = Chapter 35..the turning point of everything.
My hands were shivering with EXCITEMENT when reading these arcs!!
As for the WORST manga/anime arcs...
I would vote for the Chimera Bug arc in Hunter x Hunter, the Osaka arc in Gantz and the Freeza Saga in Dragonball...
Oh yea. The Greed Island arc is the Best arc in Hunter x Hunter!!

There's actually an 'ARC' in that manga?? O___o
maybe I shud reread it again, that manga has been in my on hold list for so long.
Is it getting better? or are they still handling/solving individual cases in every chappie?

Claymore - the Holy City Rabona arc was a little boring I guess (but only in comparison to the rest of Claymore).

Which one is that? the earlier Rabona arc or the latest one?
I find both of them boring too..
The first Rabona arc is kinda lame since Clare was sooo weak..and it was not even an awakened being.
The second one bored the hell out of me probably b'coz of Clarice and Miata...Clarice is getting on my nerves probably cuz she's weak and indecisive..

The first one, definitely. I liked the second one actually. I like Clarice, personally; her weakness makes her stand out next to all the other stronger Claymores.

To tell you the truth, I actually liked the 4Kids version when it first came out (I was a dumbass at the time 🤣 ) and I used to watch it every week it came out. But because of 4Kids messing up such an epic story like that, most people who didn't know how to get the english subbed anime or the weekly chapter scanlations thought that One Piece was only for kids. The manga here in America is STILL on Alabasta and the next volume of One Piece that's coming out here is Volume 20 in February.

the Freeza Saga in Dragonball...
Hermit-chan, my dear nakama...this is where I have to disagree with you. 😔
I personally thought that the Freeza arc was the best arc in all of Dragonball and Dragonball Z. The reasons for me is because the Super Saiyan change by Goku was SO unexpected, and it was supposed to be the final arc of the manga, so it felt even more epic. But of course, Shuiesha had to be all "OM NOM NOM NOM NOM, WE WANT MOAR MONEYZ NAO", and forced Toriyama to make two extra sagas that weren't as good IMO.
