Review of Hunter x Hunter

(SOME SPOILERS BE WARNED) 1: nen is a complex system and is the most complicated and intriguing power system out there. the battle with Gon vs Pitou is normally just am asspull by the main character against a villain. However because of the system that was implicated it is highly hinted at that people have the ability to put their lives on the line for an increase in power. And i'm not talking in a power of friendship way but in a sacrificial way which is apparent with Kurapika vs Uvo and Gon vs Pitou. 2: animation...it's Madhouse what should you expect other thanphenomenal art, animation, and op/ed's

3: this is my last main reason and that would be the characters, especially the antagonists of the series. While the protagonists are top tier and all bring something new with them that doesn't fit the "generic" shounen protagonists, the villains transcend maybe any anime in terms of how many good one;s there are in 148 ep. Meruem is a prime example with being basically a mirror reflection of are best boy Gon. He slowly grows to become more human and realize his identity while Gon slowly goes insane and begins to lose his humanity. This is the only show I've seen where the main antagonist and main protagonist don't even meet but the contrast and comparison between them is very apparent. However, Meruem isn't a character that only shines with Gon, he is a character that has many struggles to overcome and his own goals to achieve within these 60 ep that are given. This would include all his relationships such as with Komugi and with his guards, his struggle to find an identity other than just the role he has been given, and him becoming humble, with amazing character development, that would make him from a tyrant to a true king. Also, a tear jerking ending. There is so many more aspects I'd like to say about Meruem too but he isn't the only villain in Hunter x Hunter they are all very well written and some to the same extent as the king himself. And I forgot to add that his name means something like, "the light that illuminates all". Like how cool is that?

10/10
