Review of Hunter x Hunter
Hunter x Hunter is a masterpiece. I don't care what you say, it is still a master piece because it is. Those who gave it a one because it's oh-so-typical have no taste. At first, I read the manga, the story concept was interesting and I thought there would only be the becoming Hunter part to Gon's story. However, I found out there was an anime for it. So I went to the old one instead of this one. I watched up till the tenth episode and could not find anymore. Then I stumbled upon this. I noticed the huge improvement in the art styleand characters and I loved it. Here's why you SHOULD watch Hunter x Hunter.
Story: Although at first glance, you would be like, isn't this a children's show? But no. Just because a kids on the cover doesn't mean it doesn't cover mature topics. This is a story of adventure and your attention won't drop once you go through the introductory part of the anime. One of the things I love about this anime is how diverse the arcs are. You won't expect the arcs to be different, but they are, and that's why its lovely. This is why it is NOT mediocre in adventure. Most of all, even though the arcs are different, you still follow through with the story. It simply connects. Just like another reviewer said this is one of the best story writing of anime. Here's how the story goes: Gon the main character is a young boy looking to find his father and also aspires to be a hunter. The story does not entirely focus on one thing, it adds up to Gon's Goal. As you watch through the episodes, you will find the relationships between the characters to be very heartwarming as well that the story goes very in depth with the other characters stories. AND they are not boring, I find other anime's character stories to be dull and predictable, but hunter x hunter is not, it is unexpected. The story is a roller coaster of humor, joy, sadness, and excitement.
Art: The art is better than the original, I believe we can all see that. I love how the characters appearances looks better than before and the colors are more vibrant. The animations are fast and the fight scenes are exciting to watch.
Sound: The opening is awesome, there are some different openings for each arc. The production is very dedicated to making the sound be enjoyed to the utmost. The characters voices are very pleasing and match up to their image. I don't think any of their voices were annoying.
Character: As I said before, character development is a huge part of this anime. Gon and Killua's friendship will make you wish you had their friendship! As well as Kurapika and Leonardo. Other characters will also make you sympathize with them even if they are a villain. They all have a story to tell, and you will want to hear it.
Enjoyment: 10/10 I very much enjoyed this!! It is one of my most favorite animes and will always be. It made me cry, laugh and feel for the characters. This is what an anime should do.
Overall: I strongly recommend people to watch this and continue if it has been dropped, because there is so much more to it and watching the 140+ episodes was worth the while. I truly hope that there will be another season of this extraordinary piece.
