Review of Hunter x Hunter

Out of any anime, Hunter x Hunter was the only one that managed not only to match my expectations, but completely blow it out of the water, even though this show was already super hyped to me. I was expecting nothing short of a masterpiece and I got that, and more. This is the rare anime that goes above and beyond and manages to be even better than the manga itself. Everything is done right in this anime. Literally everything. The story, the characters, the pacing, the action sequences, the tension, the art, the sound, it's all amazing. I truly wonder why this anime isn'tas mainstream as other Shonen series like One Piece, Naruto, or Fairy Tail because it's at least 10 trillion times better than any of those anime series.

The story- interesting and gripping from the beginning to the end. The art- beautiful, the animators clearly put in 100% in it and not a single shot feels lazy. Sound- sound effects are satisfying and the soundtrack is beautiful. The characters- The protagonists are lovable, interesting, and full of depth. The antagonists are equally interesting, intimidating, and sometimes even sympathetic. I simply cannot praise this show enough. You've probably heard this many times, not just for this show but for others, but keep watching even if you find the early parts boring! You will not regret it, especially when it starts to pick up, and it picks up fast.

I've told friends to watch it, and all of them have messaged me back a few weeks later, thanking me for introducing them to such an amazing anime. Do yourself a favor, and watch this if you haven't. Don't even bother reading the synopsis. This is a show that is best watched not knowing what's going to happen next. I envy people who are just starting to watch this show, if only I could experience HxH again without knowing anything about it. Easy 10/10.
