Review of Hunter x Hunter

Oh no! Hunter x Hunter ended! It was inevitable, however the manga continues. This is your typical shounen adventure serious with an interesting plot. What is a hunter? Well simply, hunter is a strong and skilled individual that was good enough to pass the hunter exam and get their hunter license making them part of the hunter association. What do hunters do? They do whatever they want! They have very little restrictions and are given tons of credibility. There are different types of hunters: Blacklist Hunters - Go out catching criminals Contract Hunters - Hunters hired by businesses to do jobs Gourmet Hunters - Hunters that go outlooking for new and dangerous ingredients
These are just some of the MANY jobs a hunter can do.

The story is about a innocent, happy 13 year old boy who was abandoned by his father as a baby to be a hunter. Unlike most little kids that would cry about it "OH MY FATHER LEFT MEEE" this kid had a different approach "Being a hunter must be an AMAZING thing if he left his own child for it" and he was right, his adventure began with the hunter exam, making friends and having more adventures. His goal for being a hunter? To find his father. Although he has such a simple linear goal, he finds himself stuck in multiple situations where his life is on the line and has to become stronger to survive.

The drawing is nice, kind of cute-ish. The attack effects are nice looking, nothing too significant.

The opening music doesn't change, thats what sucks. The sound is the same but you hear slight word differences but really its the same song through the whole anime.

The characters are varied, we got all types, the idiots, the always happy, the dark, etc.

BIGGEST PROBLEM, way too much narration, the characters don't explain shit, the narrator does, it kinda kicks me out of the mood. I would feel like I'm part of the adventure and then the narrator starts explanations and its really annoying, i mean some of the stuff is obvious but still gotta be explained.

Very enjoyable anime to watch, the more it goes the better it gets, the beginning of the anime is nothing compared to the rest. My favorite was Greed Island ;)

Overall - 9/10
