Review of Hunter x Hunter
Okay, I've watched this a while back and I see very positive reviews over this show and I'm not gonna lie, it is suprising. I see this show as a wasted potential. This show makes me really sad for the wrong reasons. Story: It's fine, not the best. Everything starts off with our main character Gon wanting to be a hunter to find and be like his father (which he never met). He meets with our other main characters at the contest. Gon, never had any trainings for this before but he accomplishes to win like other people that has a backstory of assassination, or likevery dangerous and strong characters. This is an issue on it's own. Gon and Killua are together the most of the show and we see them getting strong without doing anything. They get training and magically, they get strong like they don't even try. This part pissed me off. (SPOILER) And one of the worst things for me; the villain characters just too powerful, they dont get powerful or they don'T do anything to get powerful. They're just born that way. Villains do crazy tricks and they have many unique abilities but how they know how to do all those tricks if they never tried them. And an the very ends, Gon gets pissed off of Kites death and killes Pitou but... Why he got so mad, he only met him a month ago and he died a week later when you met him. How he became your breaking point. I just don't understand.
Art: There is not much to say about the art, I liked the art, it's ok. It's better than the old version at least. I like Hisoka's and Killua's character design. I hate Kurapika's costume even tho I really liked the chain part. I think they could make his eyes outshine a bit more. And I just hate Gon's costume as well. I'm not forgetting the fact that it's a bit old show but it's not that old too.
Sound: I like the voice actors acting. The voices are mostly unique and I really like Killua's actors performance. Really, there is not much to say for this one too other than "it's good".
Character; Oh boy, did they made me mad? Yes, I was pissed when I finished the show. Characters start of really good with the way show describing them. But they did a really bad job at character growth and they wasted the characters. I'm having a hard time explaining how they wasted the characters but when I compare this to other animes I just feel like how they couldn't or how they didn't even tried to make our characters look hardworking for their appreciated power, they just , can do the things they do. We never get to see how? And they don't look smart too, the show just tells us that they are smart or genius exc. Like Hisoka, very very good villain, interesting and unique but, why and how exactly? My favorite characters are Killua and Hisoka just bc they were good thru all these issues.
Enjoyment: At the end of it, being so pissed off about how they couldn't make the show good while they easily could with small differences, I came to a point to think that it's kind of a show that you should watch but shouldn't get too overcritical over it. Just watch it, don't think too much. It's fun, it's ok. Some episodes and some characters really makes you feel something too.
Overall: I am sad and mad about the show, I said it when I finished it and I'll say it again. Overall, I'd say watch it, but don't expect much like I did before watching it. Don't listen to hardcore fans, they would say it's flawless. Obviously it's not flawless. I think its worth watching.
