No, the Manga is the same. I absolutely love the Chimera Ant Arc as well, just a masterpiece in every regard really. Gon's development and Meruem's character were amazing. The side characters were huge as well in their development and the way the world paralleled ours was something special. Honestly can't say anything bad about the arc personally and I never saw the anime version (just the fights, oh and a few random epidoses).

It's definitely the best arc, but Gon having to turn into an adult was really not that good, imo, the sense of despair the whole arc was bringing up and specially the huge scalating after Meruem shows how damn strong he is, it was just lame that it had to resort to some completely out of the blue power to turn into an adult to have enough power, pretty much like just happened with Hitsugaya on Bleach (or even Ichigo to fight AIzen).
It's just cheap, they build up a tense moment that seems to have no way out for said character to overcome, then it simply pulls this out of the blue to instantly overcome what was impossible... it's very different to having a hidden power or a new move to display, they just age instantly and now have enough power to fight back, not even something within them to awaken like a transformation, something from the future being used now.

Anyway, that arc is really, really good, I loved almost every single bit of it just as well, until Gon grown up... (but even so it's very good in general).

It's still pretty cool though and it does make sense in a way. Gon is an enhancer after all, he enhanced himself by giving up all his strength and future potential just for that one moment. Shonen manga usually do these type of things and it doesn't really bother me much. The other ones you mention also make sense in bleach as well. Is it cheap? Maybe so, but I don't personally think it's a big deal.

The text was obscured intentionally...so it could be a double digit number. Considering how this 'final' arc has been going on for like four years now, I wouldn't be surprised if Kubo stretches this out another year.

I'm pretty sure he already said this was Bleach last year.
Also, the title is already "the end", it's starting to get numbers after it likes lots of other titles on Bleach, but I'm pretty sure it won't stretch much, it'll probably have one or two more chapters after that, as I suppose 'the end' means the end of the fight, so it'll have those bit more usual chapter(s) to give everything an end, so Ichigo can marry Inoue and show their kids, this kind of stuff XP

Watch it be "The End...or is it? 1,2,3,etc" Classic Kubo :P Wouldn't put it pass him.
