Review of Hunter x Hunter

Before I start the review, keep in mind that this is my first review and that Hunter x Hunter is my favorite anime of all time, so this may not be the best review out there. Hunter x Hunter (pronounced Hunter Hunter) is, to it’s very core, a shounen, and uses probably every shounen trope out there, except, this is not a bad thing because every single trope is written perfectly, and has a reason other than “cause it’s a shounen”. A major strength of Hunter x Hunter, in my opinion (which means it is objectively correct), are all the little things, and what Imean by that is that every little detail enhances the the story somehow and is presented at the right time. Every character in Hunter x Hunter is either narratively or thematically important in some way and all will have a reason to be where they are, when they are and have a purpose in the story. The power system is nen, which is very complex with defined rules, but the complexity and defined rules allow for very unique and creative abilities that can also add upon the characters themselves. Hunter x Hunter is truely flawless, but if there was a flaw it would definitely be exposition, because while nearly all exposition in Hunter x Hunter is written into scenes beautifully, there are times when it is just not needed. Overall, Hunter x Hunter is perfect and goes above and beyond with nearly everything, making it a must-watch for all living organsims. 10/.00008791
