Review of Hunter x Hunter

When I first heard the name of HxH, I only heard wonders of this story and it was cataloged as a masterpiece not only of the shonen neketsu, not only of the shonen demography, but also a masterpiece of anime and even the works of fiction, everything was excellent or the best in some fields according to the critics and the public, therefore he had super high expectations, however he could not reach them and he stayed in the middle of the journey. The first arc, which is the exam arc, made me boring, there are almost 5 chapters in which you simply see the charactersrunning and sae in a tunnel or in the forest, we see the introduction of some characters and if this presentation is okay But they could do better the arc itself, they introduced us to Hisoka as a villain but the presentation did not manage to be as impressive as it should be, although the character is very good, although my biggest problem with this is that the term Hunter is a very ambiguous one, You can be a hunter of almost anything, so it is confusing to see the tests because you do not know what they are for, that is, what they are going to serve also the Hunters are elite people the best of the best in some aspect and it is super difficult to become one however our protagonist being a child makes it convenient, also the Hunters have many benefits but why? And why, if it is so important, they do not do a review of the people who become Hunters? Also, as I said, the arc was boring and did not widen the world of history and being a neketsu one would expect at least some battles to make it more interesting, but except for an appearance by Killua and some by Hisoka, the arc did not present action either.

The arc of going to rescue Killua only served as an excuse for the characters to have a power up that would only apply to the next arc because in the rest of the work this force that they won would not be demonstrated and I wonder how it is that a damn child and a teenager without any training could open a door of weight tonalas in just days, and well the history of the zoldick family was interesting but it does not contribute anything else.

the sky coliseum arc presents us with the power system of the story that the truth is this is a point in favor since it is very well explained and has no inconsistencies of power in the series, however we return to the same thing is an arc boring and tasteless, an arc in which killua and gon go over everyone with a single push that is, they couldn't do something more creative? then when they reach a certain point they get stuck and have to learn the nen and they learn it super fast this with the excuse that they are prodigies although from killua I understand it since after all he comes from a family of murderers and has superhuman abilities but gon is a boy who lived with his aunt on an island and it seems that he can eat the world and hope that this is credible just with the excuse that he is a child prodigy?
And although the first part was boring because they defeated everyone with 1 blow, I thought that after the nen the fights would be better, however it was equally or worse than boring, having only 1 fight that is worth it that was the one with gon against Hisoka. In general terms, this arc could be summarized in 1 chapter that explained the nen and because literally the only relevant thing apart from that was that they got a lot of money.

then came the arc of the añaras and kurapika that was fine except for the end that was very disappointing but without major complaints.
the gree island arc is the worst, another training arc that can be summarized in 1 chapter but they extended it to a whole arc with a villain and super convenient and mediocre situations.

The arc of the chimera ants was splendid although in my opinion it was a little longer but it was very very good.

and the final arc was also mediocre but I know except that the protagonist was killua who is a spectacular character and with an incredible evolution, added to the beautiful brotherhood of him with alluka and some interesting scenes. But this arc is nefarious argumentatively that is to say Alluka is a deux is machina with literal legs what she did does not make sense because of her, she revives it if without more that is to say they have the power of a literal God and this only generates plot holes for That there was never mention of this before besides that if they had such power because not only Killua took Alluka and killed Meruem and the other ants and revived Kite and thus everything was solved, talking about Kite was also another error that is to say The catalyst for Gon's spectacular development in the last arc was due to his death but it turned out that he reincarnated into a Chimera Ant and although it was hinted that the ants had memories of their past life it was very difficult that one of them could generate all their personality and other features completely but wow conveniently Kite does it, this arc narratively ruins the chimera arc but of course as HunterxHunter seems like an untouchable anime, no one highlights these errors and becomes a masterpiece.

To conclude, my biggest problems with the show is that the only very good thing focuses only on the chimeras arc and if the only good thing about your work is only in 1 arc and this is the one that carries all the weight on its back Of the work, no matter how good it is, it cannot raise the level of the rest of the mediocre things, that is to say in retrospect Hunter is good but it is not by far a masterpiece since most of the arches are mediocre, the one with the spiders is good but until then, it is nothing spectacular and the chimeras if it is sublime but that does not turn it into a masterpiece.
Added to this is Gon since he is not as good a protagonist as he poses or at least for me, since at no time could I empathize with him, the main thing is the basis of the character that is his motivation, this is to become a hunter for see how his father felt and apart from that going in search of his father I mean what the hell? your father who abandoned you when you were a baby and did not even visit you or anything like that and you want to go after him, how stupid. Second, Gon is a character that does not evolve, he has some flashes between the arches but he relapses and his true evolution comes in that of the chimeras but he feels inorganic because he gets bad, to the point of wanting to kill someone for the sake of it. death of a person who only met 1 time as a child and saw him again after almost 10 years and spent only 2 weeks with the bone that makes no sense, but although it was splendid what they did with him in that arc the act of transforming to a pure soul in a demon just for revenge was very good although as I said it did not feel genuine but very forced besides that it is the only evolution of the character because for the rest he remains as the noble and good boy who believes in him good of all, even in the final arc after all that he lived, he does not learn anything and ends the same as how he started, a naive child with the desire to meet the father who abandoned him without caring and remains as noble as ever.

Unlike Killua that if he constantly evolves in the series, if he were the only protagonist, this would be more points. And this is something positive to emphasize since with the exception of Gon, most of the relevant characters in the series are very well built, so good are they that each one could easily have a spin-off of them and it would be good.

And the other thing that does not make Hunter such a good series are that, as I said, the only acceptable thing is concentrated in 1 arc and the very good in another, the rest of the series does not contribute anything since they are mostly arches to train and increase your power with very bad background frames, when this training could be done in 1 or 2 chapters they lengthen it by creating whole arcs, and it is very boring in general.

good in order 6/10.
