Arc 1: Hunter Exam arc
This is where it all begins. It kicks off the story with a boy named gon, and it goes to introduce the characters and the setting in the first 5 episodes. Now of course, the main character Gon is the focus in this arc, but it also introduces you to the other main 4 characters. Killua, Kurapika and Leorio. Killua becomes Gon's best friend almost immediately and Gon becomes good friends with Leorio and Kurapika. Now they all take the hunter exam to become Hunters of the Hunter Association. To be a hunter is to be one of a kind strong. Not just anyone passes the hunter exam, you got to be exceptionally talented and have great potential. All of them have their own reasons to join the Hunter Exam but Gon's reason is to find his father, since his father abandoned him as a baby to become a hunter.

Arc 2: Zoldyck Family Arc is where you meet the rest of Killua's family, since they play a MASSIVE role in this universe. I won't get into it too much but his family is pretty nutty just like Killua. They're all pro hunters themselves. Great premise and definitely some heartwarming moments in this arc.

Arc 3: Heaven's Arena Arc is where it focuses on Gon and Killua, as they try to find a means to pass time and make some quick cash. Heaven's Arena is literally just a 200+ floor battle tower. Lots of fights and a few decent Hunters reside inside. Gon and Killua get a new trainer too. Imagine the World Martial Arts Tournament in Dragon Ball but BIGGER. Lots of getting pumped up in this arc, good fights and stuff. Osu!

Arc 4: Yorknew City Arc. This arc has to be #2 best arc in this anime. It is so meticulously crafted that it will leave you hanging on to the edge of your seat the entire time. Amazing fights, amazing plot line and such. This arc re-introduces Kurapika as the protagonist and focus with Gon, Killua and Leorio as the side characters. I love this arc personally. It's dark, raw, gritty and is fitting. If you like criminal underworld and mass genocide, you'll like this arc. That's all I'll say.

Arc 5: Greed Island Arc. This arc brings the focus back to Gon and Killua and puts them inside a game world called Greed Island, a game developed by Gon's Dad, who gon thinks his dad left clues to his location. They go inside but immediately encounter all sorts of trouble from thieves, to murderers. They run around and do quests and train with a new trainer in this arc. It's almost a light hearted arc with a small dark undertone. Imagine World of Warcraft if it was focused on collecting cards but had full PvP enabled.

Arc 6: Chimera Ant Arc. I won't delve too deep into this arc, as this is the arc you must watch. If you're going to give Hunter x Hunter a shot, atleast watch all the way through til this arc. You can ask literally ANYONE and they will say 10/10. This arc follows Gon and Killua after the events of Greed Island. It is a horrifying dark arc for an almost lighthearted anime but this will change your perspective on anime forever. Gon and Killua find a new trainer and Gon looks up to this new trainer almost as if he's an uncle or best friend. This is the peak of the anime. It has the best storyline out of all the arcs, out of all the animes thus far. It has lightheartedness but be prepared to cry. A lot. I know I did. 10/10 #1 Arc

Arc 7: Election Arc. The final arc to conclude the anime. This wraps up the entire mess that has happened in all the arcs preceding. This arc mainly follows Killua as well as a few others. It's a crazy yet super heartwarming arc and everything about this arc wrapping everything up is so perfect. The perfect conclusion. This arc makes this anime rewatchable so many times.

Story: 10/10.
Art: 10/10. It's good for being a 2011 Anime and I don't see how they could improve it at all.
Sound 9/10. It has many memorable tracks and tracks that fit the mood at that moment perfectly. From dark, creeping feelings, to Successful wins, from seeing someone with God-like power, to personifying a character in music. Also the Jap subs are the way to go. Grade A. Don't watch in the english dub because the english voice actors DO NOT fit the character voices.
Character 10/10. The character development and pacing is amazing. If a part in the story needs you to wait a month or so without you doing anything, they'll either timeskip or just start a new arc, as seen in the Heaven's Arena Arc. They don't mess around with the pacing and only show backstory for the really important bits. (Don't worry, this isn't naruto, you're not gunna see that swing 300 times.)
Enjoyment 10/10. I love gon as a character, and Killua is the perfect match for him. I love every other character too, even the repulsive ones because everything is thought out so intricately that no gaps are left in the story and you can really enjoy any character. For side characters that you never get to see, I love this ninja named Hanzo, a girl who is a bee keeper named Ponzu and of course Gon's Dad along with a few enemies.

Conclusion: This anime is worth watching, and rewatching. I finished it back in December of 2017 and I still can't stop talking about it.
Hunter x Hunter king of animes.
