Review of Hunter x Hunter
10/10 The greatest story told in anime... But first, I think I should go over the criticisms, and throwing away the character designs for some villains(a panda wearing a tuxedo? wtf? a ant lady with huge boobs and wearing only underwear with a star on her bra? kinda stupid), the only criticism I can think of is the pacing in a certain 60 episode chimera ant arc. Yeah in terms of criticisms thats all I can really say is bad. People may argue that the greed island and zoldyck arcs are bad, but I just think they're subpar when compared to the rest of the series. I stillthink that the greed island arc was really good and enjoyable, and so was the zoldyck arc.
Other than that, the 2011 anime Hunter x Hunter is virtually flawless. In terms of writing, the Chimera ant arc is the greatest story ever told, the characters are the best, and everything, from the fights to the relationship between gon and killua is magnificent.
No single story has ever—as a collective(there are still stories that have made me feel the individual verbs listed later)—made me laugh, cry, worry, get hype, except Hunter x Hunter.
It is truly the pinnacle, a brilliant masterpiece that should be regarded as a classic of storytelling in general.
