Review of Hunter x Hunter

MASTERPIECE. That is the only word which comes to mind while thinking about this anime. Whenever my friend used to recommend watching it, I used to just ignore him, because I thought this was just another childish shounen. I could not have been more wrong. This is easily the best shounen and one of the greatest anime of all time. The first arc is pretty decent, the only disadvantage here is that you have absolutely no idea what kind of crazy shit will happen later in the anime. Things get even better from the Heaven's arena arc onwards, and just when you think things can't get anybetter begins the YORKNEW CITY ARC, and that's where you realize that you are watching something truly incredible. Even the first two arcs, which seemed great, now seem like nothing due to the explosive growth in quality of the episodes. The ending song of this arc is my favourite ending of all time.

BUT THE ESCALATION DOES NOT STOP HERE!

Next comes the Greed Island Arc, which, believe it or not, is somehow EVEN BETTER than the previous arc. If you are a fan of the concept of players being sucked into a game and having to defeat it to escape, then this right here is the best arc in all of anime. If this arc was separately released as a standalone anime, it would have been hailed as the best anime of the "isekai" genre.

Next comes the Chimera Ant Arc. It is a massive arc, covering a whopping 61 episodes. But not a single time do you feel bored or drowsy. Cause, guess what, it is even better than Greed Island. A massive number of new characters are introduced, all having their distinct personalities and ambitions, yet you never feel overwhelmed. The climax of the arc features many epic and jaw dropping battles, but something even more beautiful and great happens which I will not spoil. The only thing I will tell you is that the main antagonist is one of the greatest characters ever seen in anime.

In conclusion, this is one anime you must watch, and I really hope it gets a second season soon.
