Review of Hunter x Hunter
Hunter X Hunter is a overhyped piece of dogshit. At first it seems really promising and fun but after that it becomes so damn tedious and boring. ALSO spoilers, so be warned. It starts off with a cool and neat exam that I enjoyed watching and then it went onto this building arc where they fought a bunch of people including Hisoka for money or something. Then a whole new cast of characters are just brought onto the series and things goes nuts. A cast of a bunch of loser misfits and 2 likeable characters become evil and try to sabotage some shit. But basically2 groups meet up incidentally a huge battle happens. The good guys win, yahoo. After that Gon get's sucked into a video game his father had left a memory card for. This arc was seriously really cool to me and I actually really enjoyed it! But it's villain fucking sucked so much and was annoying to listen to. He wasn't 'so evil you hated him' but instead was irritating to have as a villain, you didn't know anything about him and he's apparently just blowing everybody up now. Next up is the biggest waste of fucking time in any anime that I've ever seen and I know a lot of other people would agree with me on this. 61 episodes of boring nonsense, about 40 of them being filled with literally nothing and characters being developed for no god damn reason. Stupid animal characters are given episodes and episodes of character development and it adds literally NOTHING to help the story out. I do not care about these characters whatsoever. I honestly wouldn't have been surprised if the author developed a whole character out of a spec of dust. Finally the part people actually care about comes along, the Pitou fight. This fight was seriously cool as hell. It was so so insane and I loved it, and the Gon nen skip thing was badass af. Also the Killua and Netero fights were sweet as well. But it was not worth watching like 120 episodes or something just to get to these fights. I could just go watch them on Youtube if I wanted. "B-But character development, you wouldn't be able to understand the fights!" Yeah, I don't think it's really needed all too much here. You could just watch these fights without having gone through these 100+ episodes and still get what's going on, everybody knows who Gon is and what he's like. Also this story will most likely never be completed because the author just couldn't be bothered to finish it off after Gon found his father and wanted to add even more. Along with that, multiple people have told me that you have to/should watch video essays or read things explaining the events to really understand stuff, that's stupid. You shouldn't have to watch a 30 minute video explaining some event in a 148 episode anime, all of this stuff should be explained to you in the show. I even watched some of the original anime and even read a few volumes of the manga and still did not really like this series at all. I seriously seriously wanted to enjoy this show but I just couldn't...
