Review of Hunter x Hunter

Have you ever watched an anime you loved but after finishing it you weren't sure why? For me, that anime is Hunter X Hunter. I turned my brain off almost the entire time I watched Hunter X Hunter. I was just in it for the dope fights and villains, often enjoying myself to the extent that I completely missed the genius of Togashi's writing. But that's the beauty of great writing. You don't always have to fully understand it to fully enjoy its merits. You don't have to realise Chrollo is a nihilist with an identity crisis to be in awe of his stage presence. Thesame way you don't need to understand that the Chimera Ant arc is about human hypocrisy in order to fall in love with the sensational fights. But I will say this; after analysing it a little, I loved it even more.

In conclusion, Hunter X Hunter is a purely enjoyable shounen anime you can only appreciate more as you better understand it. And that's why Hunter X Hunter is one of my favourite anime of all time.
