Review of Hunter x Hunter

SUCKER FOR SHONEN ADVENTURE ANIME? FALL IN LOVE WITH COMPELLING AND WELL-DEVELOPED CHARACTERS? ADORE INTERESTING AND EMOTIONAL STORYLINES AND ARCS THAT EXPLORE THEMES ABOUT HUMANITY AND INNER CONFLICT AND CHOICES? WELL LET ME TELL YOU, HUNTER X HUNTER IS THE ANIME FOR YOU okay but seriously, this anime is a masterpiece. starting off, this hxh seems like your typical shounen genre anime, and has a very happy and lighthearted feeling to it.WELL

fast forward 148 episodes and you'll have been thrown into the pits of emotional hell and back, by the end left an empty shell of a person

the story:
Hunter x Hunter main plot focuses on a kid named Gon, whose father is a Hunter, and has been absent for his entire life. Throughout the anime, Gon's main goal is to eventually find his father again. Although this story seems relatively basic, the journey Gon takes along the way allow the plot to develop into so much more.

the characters:
Togashi's ability to create a diverse cast of interesting and complex characters is incredible. Though the protagonist of the story is Gon, the anime takes time to focus on the development of other characters just as much. The characters show excellent development throughout the story. As well, this anime is very gender friendly: featuring excellent female characters, as well as trans character.

Overall, Hunter x Hunter is well worth the watch. It is an incredible addition to the shounen genre, one that (in my opinion) soars above and beyond both Naruto and Bleach. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
