Hunter x Hunter (2011–2014) User Reviews

Beyond Shonen

[g-luismiguel14 · 10/10 · 6 November 2012]

If you are looking for the kind of Anime that will leave you sitting at the edge of your seat Hunter x Hunter (2011) is the right one for you.

The story might seem a little childish at first but as soon as the plot develops the (very) dark nature of the story becomes obvious. The characters are unique and incredibly well developed, with the show not being afraid of testing them psychologically in a way that not many animes are willing to. The fights are intense both physically and psychologically and as the Anime progresses they tend to become more violent and over the edge.

The soundtrack is beautiful. From the intense/epic classic orchestras to the guitar riffs, everything seems to fall into place. Even the show's "intros" and "outros" are very consistent and worth listening to.

All in all, this is the kind of Anime that a true fan of this Japanese art will not want to miss.

Amazing work

[evilsweetpotato · 10/10 · 19 June 2012]

Hunter X Hunter 2011 is an amazing work.

I have read the Manga and watched the anime (1999), and it is certified to the origin.

The animation is at the highest quality there is, giving the opportunity to truly enjoy this series. In HD-widescreen, you can really feel the action and connect to the story and the characters.

I am following the new release weekly, and every new episode I am astonished by the high quality of the sound, picture and story which are exactly how they should be.

Hunter X Hunter story is rich, interesting and authentic, and the writers of this new series did a great job transferring and transmitting it.

Another great feature in the new series is the background adjustment to our time - Phones, computers and more electronic devices that were rare and undeveloped in the Manga can now be found and used anywhere, without damaging the story. I believe it even adds to the experience.

This is a must-see show, to any fan of this genre (Especially to whom had seen and/or read Hunter X Hunter), though I would really recommend this series to anyone.

Screw this anime for making me cry

[tonymars-63087 · 10/10 · 23 August 2021]

I said what I said. Wish there were more episodes. Loved every second of it.

A fantastic achievement

[blackmamba99971 · 10/10 · 26 May 2021]

Hunter x Hunter. A marvelous story about a young boy who vowed to become a Hunter just like his father. Tasked with learning skills on both the mental and physical levels, Gon Freeces travels the world in hopes of finding his father who abandoned him at a young age.

After meeting Killua Zoldyk who is an assassin in his own right joins Gon on his quest. They soon become best friends and discover new adventures which leads them to mysterious places, along with even more risky roads of dangerous people along the way. Hunter x Hunter captivates the viewer in every episode.

Emotions run high during the arc stories especially during the Chimera ant arc. Episode 135 being the most potent of them all for some tense scenes that pulls on the human condition.

The music is top notch through out. Action is above normal expectations, as well as learning about the mystic ideals of Nen, which is the interpretation of Chi that resides in any human being. I thoroughly enjoyed this series from the first episode to the last where Gon finally meets his father Ging Freeces.

Beyond the obvious plot, I loved every character as well. From Netero, Knov, Morel, Mito and the entire Zoldyk family who are about as psychotic as the bush family line. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree as they say. Between fights of bravery, despair, joy, sadness and anger, anyone who watches this series can relate to each character on some level.

Whether they are a fighter or simply a worker. Hunter x Hunter will continue to blaze a trail for those who dare to dream and hope for a brighter future. A word of warning concerning episode 135. Keep a box of tissues handy. You will need it. It was considered to be one of the finest episodes of the entire series.

Epic!!!!!

[harissiddiqui00 · 10/10 · 11 November 2012]

this is everything someone who enjoys animes could ever ask for. let me explain: epic battles that aren't stretched for 5 episodes. the story plot is so twisted but yet there are no flaws or loop holes. the explanations make sense and are fun to listen to. there is a balance between the intense gory moments and the light hearted jokish moments. the characters are liakable, even the villains. its just the perfect anime. and don't listen to those people who say that this version is rubbish compared to the 1999 version. its ten times better. the show might start of a little childish but its picks up the pace in no time. i recommend this to anyone i meet...literally. its just that damn good

The best anime I've ever seen by far!

[KenToo · 10/10 · 9 October 2014]

FYI, I'm a lawyer in my 40s, not some kid, and basically ran out of anything on TV that I could stand, as it was all so formulaic and tired and low-brain. Well, I noticed some anime seemed focused on adults (not the sex stuff, but violence and intelligent plots and stuff), so I tried own -- Sword Art Online. It really opened my eyes to these hidden treasures -- the stories blend fantasy elements with action and interesting characters. Really the main thing I noticed was being surprised by plot twists. Whereas an American TV series or movie you can pretty much guess where it's going to go, this took turns and twists that really impressed me with the intelligence of the show. I mean, Lost took a lot of twists, but they were sort of random/contrived, and my final analysis was the writers were just making it up as they went along to avoid answering any hard questions, very stupid and contrived. Sword Art avoided that.

Anyway, after finishing that anime, I tried several more, and while some were good and still better than traditional American shows, none had the intelligent plotting of Sword Art Online -- till I found Hunter X Hunter, which just totally kicked it up a notch in both fantasy elements, interesting characters, intelligent plot twists you won't see coming, and the like. With some bad guys being sort of serial murderer/pedophiles, it's not for kids, but well done...even those pervy bad guys sometimes redeem themselves, at least for a short time.

How the main characters got more powerful as the series progressed, to be able to best stronger and stronger foes (usually) was well thought out, too, and not overly simplistic. The only downside was that by the fifth (?) story arc involving mutant ant people, I felt it had gotten a bit formulaic and I was not buying into how the world was responding to this threat, and felt the series might have jumped the shark, so to speak. However, I stuck it out and halfway through the arc I really started to enjoy it and the plot kept taking interesting twists. I'm not ashamed to say that I cried at least once because there were such bittersweet moments created.

I don't think I ever enjoyed a movie or TV series more than Hunter X Hunter, and with over 150 episodes, that's a LOT of great TV.

Pretty great.

[invisibleunicornninja · 10/10 · 3 March 2019]

I would highly recommend that everyone watch this show. I don't want to say anything to spoil it, and I'm sure that countless others have already provided more in-depth reasons why you should watch it, but still, watch it.

I will warn you though, while the beginning of the show makes it seem like its going to be somewhat kid-friendly, trust me when I say that this is not the case.

so underrated in my opinion

[Leshom · 10/10 · 12 January 2014]

oh my god this anime is a whole new thing , it is better than one piece naruto and all the long animes , but i gotta admit it starts slow and it kinda feel childish but once you keep going the story takes another level of epicness , in my opinion this anime is ONE OF THE BEST !!! , if you did not watch it yet , go DAMN WATCH IT RIGHT NOW !!! , just to sum up everything , Hunter X Hunter 2011 = Epic and yet i can't believe that this anime is so underrated and only some people are watching it, people are watching one piece and other popular animes and not watching Hunter X Hunter 2011 HUH, thats really sad =(

P.S: when i watched this anime in the beginning i thought it is childish but DAMN just give it your shot !

You MUST Watch This Anime Before you Die. Better than the Best. You are Missing Out.

[serbian_007 · 10/10 · 31 December 2014]

If you haven't watched this anime, your life is INCOMPLETE. An epic out of this world adventure between three friends whose friendship never dies. I have never had more fun, never laughed more, and never felt more emotion than after watching Hunter x Hunter. Every anime series I have ever seen pales in comparison. Hunter x Hunter is better than Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, better than Death Note, better than Naruto, better than One Piece, better than Steins;Gate, better than Attack on Titan, better than Code Geass. My eyes have been opened after watching this series: Hunter x Hunter cannot be rivalled. If Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood is a 10, Hunter x Hunter is a 15, no joke.

Hunter x Hunter (2011) has better script, better characters, better acting, better scenery, better pacing, and better story than every anime I have listed above. It's a journey; it's an epic adventure; it's a coming of age; it's out of this world. It's a shame a lot of people don't know about it just because it doesn't have an English dub; it's a shame it only has a few thousand votes on IMDb. If only everyone knew what they were missing.

I wish that I had seen the original series growing up; how different might my childhood have been; I grew up with Dragon Ball Z, Pokemon, and similar shows. My first time watching near the end of 2014, and Hunter x Hunter is now my favourite anime of all time, no question about it. The main characters of Hunter x Hunter (2011) will stick with me for the rest of my life. I have never laughed more than with Leorio. I have never cried more than with Killua and Gon who show the real value of friendship. The lessons I have learned from this show about friendship, love, and family have impacted me greatly.

Thank you Hunter x Hunter. After binge watching every episode within one week because I couldn't stop myself at the bliss, I have been reborn. Best Anime of all time, without a doubt. I have nothing more to say, except that you MUST watch this anime before you die. YOU MUST. YOU MUST. YOU MUST.

An incredible work that now continues

[persa_97 · 10/10 · 14 May 2013]

This is a really fun and entertaining Anime that's all about one kid called Gon who is looking for his dad and the paths his dad laid out for him are truly incredible.

He gets stronger at such a strong rate but the series always shows that there are way stronger opponents so he always has someone to fight in the way that his father laid out.

This series shows a lot of fighting to get stronger but it also show that some people are meant to do incredible things. It's also a series that make you laugh really easily with all kinds of spontaneous and stupid humor that i love.

The old one was as great, the only differences are that in this one Killua looks even younger and the last one ended at one moment where something happened that could have ended the series but in this one they continue from that moment.

Watch this series, I beg you, and you won't ever regret it!

Yes, I hated the Chimera ant arc

[Monarch_1 · 6/10 · 22 August 2021]

I get it why it is top rated anime. It draws real life parallels to Nuclear weapons, human greed, global warming and many others. But the thing is the audience watch a series is to get entertained. If the series is thought provoking and talks about real life issues in addition to be entertaining, it does make them memorable. But such things shouldn't come at the cost of entertainment and storytelling. This is the exact problem, the chimera ant arc is suffering from. It talks big whilst being utterly boring. Since the chimera ant arc makes up for almost half of the anime series, it becomes a con for the series too.

My other problems with the arc are

1. Total deviation from established motives and followups to the goals of the protagonists.

2. The creator shows a big middle finger if you cared about protagonists. He leaves out 2 protagonists like they don't exist and makes other two protagonists as side characters in their own series.

3. Too much focus on secondary and rudimentary characters.

4. The ants' designs are ridiculous and silly. I mean these supposedly ants are humanoid animals born with helmet, tees, ear piercings and what not.

5. The complete devolution of a protagonist due to the loss of a character whom he had known for like few weeks is unbelievable.

6. I have few words for the narrator, " Jeez, just calm down".

This arc killed this series for me when I was binge watching the series up until this arc. The phantom troupe arc was the highest point of the series imo from which it never truly recovers. Hey, atleast the chairman election arc ends the series in a decent note.

Overrated by fans, wasted potential and characters with clichéd tropes

[nerojazizka · 4/10 · 5 May 2020]

I really wanted to give this show a try, I loved the first 40 episodes but then it went very downhill and ended in the toilet, the main characters didn't change, some characters are based on currently existing better characters and the chimera ant arc was very cliché, too long and full of tropes.

The innocent one who changed the villain, the protagonist who unleashed the beast, even the humans are the real monsters trope existed.

It made me really sad I liked the idea of Nen and there were some characters I really liked but I just couldn't find it that amazing like it was portrayed.

I really liked it

[POIguy · 10/10 · 3 May 2021]

Hunter x Hunter starts off a bit childish, but over the course of its 6 arcs it develops into an action packed story about friendship, brotherhood, the human condition, and loss. Without going into spoilers I can't say much, but this show gets pretty deep and has amazing fight scenes. There's many interesting characters to keep the plot moving.

This Is My Favorite Anime And I've Seen A Lot Of Them(one piece,naruto,bleach,fairy tail).

[Alexandrspyr · 10/10 · 8 October 2013]

7.6?Why so underrated?This rating doesn't do justice to this show,it needs more recognition. Lets set it right. I have seen both versions of Hunter x Hunter and I liked the 1999 version better so there will be inevitably some slight comparisons in this review to the 2011 one.

Story: Togashi Yoshihiro is a very talented mangaka who managed to create a world of great imagination where he can take you from dark realistic settings to a virtual reality cheerful world.The story progresses in arc format with each arc being connected nicely together, of course there is the main story where the protagonist a small boy named Gon embarks on a journey to search for his father a "Hunter" where lots of difficult challenges and adventures awaits him.Apart for the first few episodes the pace was really good and I never got bored but it still was 10 times better then the old version where the beginning was slow and kind of awful.In the first arc you get to know the world of HxH and it's protagonists, it may take for a while to draw you in so stick with it because it will get epic.

What sets it apart of any other anime at least of this genre if not all anime it's the disruption of a linear plot progress.Plot twists in some episodes are just insane.At some points I literally was in shock and kept thinking about what happened for many days or weeks after the episode. You will never expect for some things to happen.I found the complexity and simplicity of the story in perfect equivalence, it's simple in it's general view but individual elements can be quite complex(eg. a system of a country, fighting system, analytical thinking of an antagonist etc). In short it was an intelligent story with perfect mix of mystery,tension,comedy and action. Don't make the mistake I did when I labeled it as childish when i had seen only 10 episodes, give it a try and you will discover a mature and deep story with the psychological factor being present all over the place. Story:9/10 (I would rate it a 10 but I can't because of the weak beginning).

Art: Animation is amazing in this series, the best of the best.And as it progresses it gets even better especially in the fight scenes where the effects are awesome and enhance the experience.The bright colors is one of the major things that made me personally like 1999 version better, because dark colors used in the old one created a dark atmosphere which suited better for this anime(it felt more epic and created more tension). That doesn't mean I hate the new version though.The designs of each character are unique and suits their personalities quite well which as an effect makes them memorable (one antagonist became one of my favorite antagonist ever!!!). Art:10/10

Sound: There was only one thing I hated about the sound and that was the opening song(I always skipped it), the end song though was quite enjoyable. As for the soundtracks I can say they were epic especially in moments of tension or mystery. I didn't quite like the happy go lucky background soundtrack but that was only at the beginning, I actually appreciated it more cause it made the moments of tension feel 10 times more epic!!! Voice actors are all good except for the one of Kurapica who's voice I didn't like but I may be influenced by the old version. The voices for the 2 main protagonists are especially well picked up.Although I prefer the 99 version sound and voices better I will stay objective and rate the sound a 9. Sound:9/10

Characters:Most of my favorite characters are from this show and as you can guess characters in this show are amazing, there is no one who is underdeveloped or one dimensional. Lots of hours have been spent in developing each of them making them unique and memorable in their own skin, some will be mysterious and threatening like no other you've seen,some others intelligent and patient another might be compassionate and vulnerable.What is truly amazing though as I mentioned before is the presence of the psychological factor. Which means that no one will act always the same in different situations just to follow their stereotype as the situation changes.What I mean is that your expectations for some characters being one thing will be diminished into being the complete opposite. That's why the plot twists are amazing and logically and emotionally feel correct. Characters:10/10

Overall:Hunter x Hunter 2011 is the best anime than any other at this genre I've seen.It blends together and balances exceptionally well themes like drama, mystery, comedy and action.I enjoyed this series so much that I am actually thinking about rewatching the old version first and at some point the 2011 again. I hope you will give it a try because I honestly believe you will enjoy it very much.I recommend this series to everyone and it doesn't matter what genres you like more, just trust me and give this series a go but stick with it cause it's kinda slow at the beginning. Overall:10/10

*This is my first review so forgive me for any mistakes*

Astonishing Remake That Refreshed One of the Best Animes Ever Made

[ali-hp · 10/10 · 8 September 2013]

It's a remake of the Hunter X Hunter 1999 and its Ova : Ova 1 2002 and Ova Greed Island 2003 and Ova 3 G.I Final 2004 . The remake was so Loyal to the original anime But some little Scene were Cut to save some time for the new Episode that will added after it Complete the Original anime episode . The New Show was so Refresh When I watched the old one I was so angry Because of the Clarity wasn't cool But Now it Gives you a Feeling that it's Not the Remake its so much Better in the Story and in the Graphic Quality in the End I Enjoyed it as the same I enjoyed the old one and Now with the new Episode that Came out I can Say I enjoyed it more so I Give my thanks to the Creator Of this Great Show Good Job.

Perfect anime

[randy-26556 · 10/10 · 10 May 2019]

This anime has to to be one of the best of all time. Everything in the show is perfect, the fight scenes are amazing and epic. I hope there will be more anime that is good as Hunter x hunter and fun to watch like this. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

a breathtaking experience a true piece of art.......

[abhi07 · 10/10 · 13 March 2014]

I want to share a lot about Hunter x Hunter i want to go on and on but i am not a professional reviewer or writer but i will try my best.

I agree with others who reviewed Hunter X Hunter , that it has a childish like beginning . When i start watching it i did not plan to watch it further because of the above reason but i give Hunter X Hunter a chance and watched few episode and i was amazed by the story and the characters it got me hooked really.

I am a anime lover and watched almost every famous title out there for example: One piece, Naruto, Bleach and much more. The story of Hunter X Hunter is about a twelve year old boy named Gon Freecss who has been told that his parent were killed in car accident but in reality they are alive and later he found out about his father by his father's old acquaintance that his father is alive and he is famous hunter. The show has many incredible fight sequence, The characters in the anime are super, since they all have their own ability and unique appearance. You will sit at the edge of your seat when the fights commence, and as the episodes progress our heroes face new difficulties, while still keeping the crazy humor,

The genre itself is a ACTION,THRILLER & this has everything someone who enjoys anime series could ever ask for. I recommend this series to everyone and it doesn't matter what genres you like more, just trust me and give this series a go but stick with it cause it's kinda slow at the beginning. Overall:10/10

Meaning of Hunter in series as below The Hunters Association is responsible for the testing and licensing of "Hunters" a person that has proved themselves through rigorous examination to be an elite member of humanity. With the passing of the examination, a Hunter is rewarded with a license to go almost anywhere in the world or do almost anything. Typically, Hunters devote themselves to tracking down priceless items, mystical places, and the unseen wonders of the world.

Hunter x hunter is my top 1 anime of all time

[the-fearless-america · 10/10 · 17 October 2021]

This remake from 1999 classic hxh also really good. It brings me nostalgic from my childhood but with better animation. Hxh 1999 series is a little bit horror and the characters also more darker, but two of the series is amazing.

Since my childhood, this is the anime that set my standard of all anime after. The story, character development, plot twist and especially strategy of the fight scene, is wayyy on another level. I'm very impressed since then and i'm addicted to this series. Honestly, the author is on another level to create a storyline that day. Then, i read all the manga but sad to hear that the author always hiatus, even tough i think this manga and anime will be a massive follower magnet if it was normally continued.

I think this is the best anime japan ever made, and this is in my top 1 best anime of all time. I hope the author get well soon because so many hxh fanatics waiting from their childhood until now, after pandemic era, or maybe until their age get old, just to wait this anime to continue. Plase continue this manga or continue just to make it finish the story at last. Don't let hxh fanatics gets old and die while waiting this masterpiece to continue.

Hunter x Hunter

[auuwws · 9/10 · 15 December 2020]

One of the best anime that I saw in the action and fighting scenes in the anime is great, especially in Chimera Ant arc. The fights were very great, the anime characters were excellent, especially Chrollo Lucilfer and Netero. They were the best two characters in the anime. I also liked that Gon does not win in most battles I hope the anime will continue, but the writer does not want to write

Wow what a journey !!!!!!

[bmayank-98491 · 10/10 · 6 December 2021]

Honestly this was a great show. One of the best anime's I've ever seen. I loved all the characters and the story was very enticing, it made me want to keep watching to see what would happen next. My favorite characters were Gon, Killua, hisoka and the insect king. The story with the insect king was so sad, it made me want to cry towards the end of the story. This is one of those shows you have to watch!

I said what I said. Wish there were more episodes. Loved every second of it.

I recommend everyone to watch!!!!!!!!!

True 'MASTERPRICE'

I loved some and hated some

[sinahaase-960-743497 · 6/10 · 24 April 2023]

I've read so many reviews on this show and everyone has so many different opinions like "animation is great, story is not.." or "animation SUCKS but the story is good.." and I get why this is. The animation is okay in my opinion, but the lack of consistency in story is my major issue. The arcs in this anime do not flow well one after another. Some parts of the show are a 10 and some parts are 1's. It's just how the show is. You'll be hooked for 20 episodes straight and then all of a sudden the story will change and you'll be using HxH as a way to put yourself to sleep. I think overall the anime is a solid 6 and it's because of so many parts of the show that as a viewer you're excited to finally see and they literally never show you. Im going to list below all the things that were left out completely which really frustrated me at the end. I couldn't believe some things were just left open ended. Gon's dad SUCKS so I couldn't care less if he ever found him...I would be more satisfied as a viewer if these plot holes were filled instead. Here's my list:

1. What is a hunter? This is never really explained and I still have no clue what their exact objective is. It can't be that they are good fighters cuz look at their exam!!! Seriously tho...what is the point of being a hunter!!??

2. Hisoka. Very cool character and he makes you eager to find the rest of his story played out...especially finding and fighting chrollo...but nope! And anything else about his ending is just left blank. Waste of character development. (This is a common theme for good characters)

3. And speaking of.... Chrollo never returns. Did he get his nen back from that exorcist? We'll never know.

4. Kurapika is a main who turned into a ghost. Not even in the last several arcs!!!! WTH?!

5. The phantom troupe was a cool villain to watch and then they're just NOTHING. And who is their new leader???

6. Leorio wasn't given nearly enough screen time.

7. What was the point of Gon playing greed island? Why did his dad even leave him the ring/memory card?

8. WHAT THE HECK IS THE POINT OF THE ELECTION AT THE END????? I WAS WAITING FOR A CRAZY COOL TWIST FROM THE RAT ZODIAC AND IT WAS POINTLESS.

9. What power does meruem have that is soooo powerful? Although I really loved his character, I was getting sucked into the build of him and it turned to nothing. No cool fighting. Just doesn't get hurt. You're telling me that someone like him can go through a crazy beating then a bomb of that magnitude and live...but then die from poison??

10. My last one. This isn't a plot hole exactly but just an issue I had in the ant arc: What is Gon's obsession with kite? He barely knew him. Killua almost died from blood loss in that cave area and after he told Gon he was hospitalized for 2 days, Gon DIDNT GIVE A RIP. And yet with kite whom he just met, he hadn't even known he was "dead" yet and started to lose it in front of pitou and was filled with rage/blood lust. I thought this was absurd.

***this show left me empty and dissatisfied. I disliked the last arc and the ending very much. A couple seconds of others' endings coming together during the ending theme song was not enough. And Gon's father really annoyed me. Leorio and Kurapika were great and viewers/fans deserve more of them and less of the hours and hours of screen time of all the other annoying side characters. Just ridiculous in my opinion but that's just me. Thanks for reading :)

Wasted potential.

[bio_enrico · 4/10 · 12 September 2019]

Up until the midpoint of the show I was really enjoying myself, then came the chimera ant arc and the it took a nose dive into a crap volcano! I'm forcefully watching it to the end just to see what happens after they wrap up this arc. The show was a regular shonnen anime with somewhat predictable development, although, due to it's weirdness, reserved us some surprises not taking the beaten path all the way to the end, but taking a detour and droping a story line to go somewhere different. The tower where they train and fight in a tournament is one such case. The mafia auction arc was pretty good, though erratic. The back ground story is nearly unfollowable with so many changes in direction but it seamed well enough written when it came to character interaction. That was a smart arc with different types of knowledge like the antique hunting and forging to move the story forward and developing characters. Now for the chimera ant arc...should have ended with the queen. Weird nonsensical monters, slavish sexual inuendo that is just wrong for a shonnen, nearly infinite amount of decent antagonists with almost no fighting... the whole thing just deprived the viewer of any sense of catarsis, turning mass-murdering monsters into allies and even "good guys". Everything wrong with it should have ended with the protagonists killing the king's guard and the queen, because what came next was just torture! Endless set up and preparations for a showdown between king/king's guards and the hunters, just to have it slowed to a literal super slowmotion speed with narration of everyone's thoughts and barely any fighting, and then they take every painstakingly achieved progress away by reviving the king or removing effects of their powers. I could compare it to another activity teenage boys do to themselves when they are alone, but with no payout in the end, just a whole lot of chaffing. I could go on and trash Gon's break down over Kite, a guy he barelly knew, but I'm already wasting too much of my time by watching the show. If you are a teenage boy that's never watched a shonnen before and this is the ONLY one you can get your hands on, I guess you'll be alright. For anyone else STAY CLEAR!

FREAKING LOVE THIS ANIME

[YASEEN7 · 10/10 · 26 July 2021]

HunterXHunter is definitely one of the best animes out there. Personally, its no 1 on my list. No matter how many animes I watch, nothing compares to HunterXHunter. The characters have been so beautifully written and mindfully built by Yoshihiro Togashi (Bless this man) that you can't help but trip and fall painfully in love with them.

The main protagonists (Gon,Killua,Leorio and Kurapika) all have their own unique backgrounds and quirky personalities which is super fun to watch in itself but when you put them all in the same equation, their chemistry is just overwhelmingly adorable that it makes you wanna cry happy tears.

Let's talk action! Being a shounen anime HunterXHunter has its own proud share of epic battles and power displays, it seriously gives you goosebumps.

What about bad guys,you ask?

I would like to say special attention has been given by Togashi to put some life and spice into the antagonists/anti-heros in the series. They aren't just powerful and mean,but have extremely intriguing personalities. They body slam you into loving them as well.

All in all, HunterXHunter is a well balanced anime. There is friendship,fluff,fights and fan service. What else can a weeb ask for. .

Highly recommended!!

It's really good.

[superprohunter · 10/10 · 4 October 2016]

Hunter X Hunter may seem childish and goofy at the beginning, but it's actually one of the darkest shows I've seen, it's not your typical, Togashi did a marvelous job with Yu Yu Hakusho but IMO he has excelled himself with hunter x hunter. Very interesting characters, good story arcs, and the usual dependable themes. Beware if you are going to become an hunter x hunter fan craze cat you need to stay loyal to the series, because it is well known for being on hiatus. Interestingly for a anime it doesn't necessarily work on the lines of "I have more raw power than you therefore I win". In hunter x hunter it is more the case of how the powers are used, you can be weaker than your opponent yet you might win because of a special skill you have for example. The battle system in hunter x hunter is the most interesting I have encountered.
