Review of Hunter x Hunter
From a young age, Gon Freecss had been interested in Hunters. This was because his father who he'd never been able to meet was a hunter. His dream was to find his father and make him proud. In the Hunter exam he meets three friends; Kurapika, a young boy who's the last in his clan due to a murderous collection of thieves known as the Phantom Troupe; Leorio, the oldest and tallest of the group, he hopes to become a hunter in order to use the money and privilege to become a doctor so he can perform a specific and expensive type of treatment toanyone for free after his only childhood friend died from not getting the treatment; Killua Zoldyck, the only one the same age as Gon, he comes from a large and well known family of assassins, and has run away to become a hunter, until his older brother forces him home.
The art style, even from episode one, is fluent, bright and fitting, and somehow this fantastic animation team can create the brightest, happiest expressions but also the most horrifyingly brutal and disgusting violence. The amazing animation paired with the incredible OST (original soundtrack) creates some of the saddest, funniest, more terrifying and most incredible scenes from any anime I have ever seen. The enjoyment I gained from this anime is phenomenal, and is by far my favourite anime I've seen this year, and is definitely in my top three best anime ever. Somehow this anime makes you love the anti villains and villains just as much as you love the main characters.
If you've thought about watching this and have put it off for a later date, you made a mistake. This anime is fantastic and it very enjoyable, interesting and lovable. I finished this anime, all 148 episodes, in 16 school days, and thought I enjoyed every second I regret watching it so quickly. The Chimera Ant arc is one of my favourite arcs ever and some of the characters in Hunter x Hunter, like Knuckle, Kite and Killua, are fantastic. I'll never forget about this anime and how happy and excited it made me, and in a lot of ways it reminded me of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. So, if you love an anime with fantastic character, animation and soundtrack that can be both light hearted and deeply heartbreaking at the same time, with amazingly written and creatively lovable characters and a story you'll never forget, this is the anime for you.
