Review of Hunter x Hunter

Ahhhh good ol' haitus x hiatus. It's honestly regretful that this anime will never pass into masterpiece territory that all it's fans know it is capable of doing. Togashi's work is incredible- you can see the amount of detail and quality he's laced into his characters and plotlines. The Chimera Ant Arc was a very heavy and fresh climax to Shonen in general, and I know we're all looking forward to what comes beyond this world. Story/9 I'm grading this mainly on the potential of what is to come. The beginning (and the training arc) was a fine snowball which was eventually the Chimera Ant Arc (bugshave never been so terrifying nor my consciousness) and it's exciting to see where the succession arc/dark continent would lead.

Art/8
The art in the manga is considerably worse but the animation in the anime adaptation is solid.

Sound/6
I swear they have a good ost but their utilization of it is rubbish. You hear like only 2 songs throughout the whole thing.

Character/9
I'm sure there's someone down in the review that can ramble on about how amazing these characters are in a way I could never do justice.

Enjoyment/7
The pacing was unavoidably bad in some parts due to how the manga was structured/information needed to be conveyed/blah blah it was inevitable. But the Chimera Ant Arc really did stretch out my soul- seriously, did 2 seconds have to last an entire episode?

Overall/9
It was certainly an experience that I won't be forgetting anytime soon! :)

Unfortunately, the author is ill and there doesn't seem to be any plans to move this anime forward. I'll miss Killua Zoldyck...
