Review of Hunter x Hunter

Hunter x Hunter (2011) is an above-average anime, featuring well-written and developed characters, compelling narrative elements, and satisfactory visuals/animation quality. However, it is not without its drawbacks. The world feels disconnected, with each arc being predominantly standalone and not overly impacting the greater story. Additionally, the penultimate arc suffers from bloating and pacing issues, diminishing the series' momentum. Nevertheless, the core strength of the show lies in its characters, particularly the dynamic interactions between Gon and Killua. The narrative is well thought out, with characters constantly developing and discovering more of the world alongside the viewer. The imaginative power system adds depth, featuring a plethoraof unique abilities. The introduction of the second-to-last arc marks a slight decline in the series, spanning around 60 episodes, many of which contribute little to the plot's progression. Furthermore, new characters are underdeveloped, especially compared to those previously introduced. Though the arc has its enjoyable moments, it overstays its welcome. Despite its flaws, Hunter x Hunter (2011) remains a compelling watch, especially for those who appreciate well-developed characters and intricate narratives.
