This series benefits from 3 notable legends of the industry: 1. Kazuhiro Furuhashi - Director of this and the original Hunter x Hunter. 2. Kumiko Takahashi - Key Animator and veteran of the Gundam series having worked on Zeta and Origin III. AND GOD HIMSELF...! 3. Hiroyuki Sawano The series itself has crisp visuals and emotional characters, but a warning to the casual observer a large amount of onscreen character death can be too much. The animation is nothing short of incredible and for once in the series, the transformation sequences of the variable types do not rely on parts being able to magically detach and reattach. The music is pure beauty,no-one can compose a drop like Sawano. What he lends to this series later carries over to UC RE:0096, Narrative and Hathaway’s Flash while some may argue it’s not his best work, go listen to the likes of UnChild, Re:IAM and NOISEofRAIN. 3 brilliant pieces from his work on Gundam.
