Review of Hunter x Hunter

Definitely one of my favorites of all time. Since I'm sort of new to writing reviews, I thought I may as well give my thoughts on this absolute gem. Characters Starting with my favorite thing about HxH, the characters. Every single one of these characters has something going for them no matter how much importance they may have to the overall story. Togashi finds a way to make the most irrelevant side characters lovable, whether it be with weirds quirks, or outrageous designs. The main cast is also incredibly likable. Whether they're the relatable, sympathetic type, the set on revenge type,or the just plain fun type, this main cast has great dynamics going on between each and Every one of them. The two main characters have one of the most wholesome, but at the same time heartbreaking friendships I have ever experienced in any anime. HxH also probably has the best set of villains I have ever seen. Every single one of them fulfills their role as a villain, and even the worst one of the bunch is one that I would still consider great compared to most anime villains. HxH has some of my favorite character arcs out there, the ones that I enjoyed the most were Gon, Killua, and Meruem.

Story
All the arcs in HxH are at the very least good. The best of them, though, reach heights that I have haven't quite seen any other anime reach in my 2 or so years of consuming this medium. They are woven together seamlessly by the main character, Gon's, goal of becoming a hunter and finding his father. And though I don't care as much about power systems as other may, I must say that Nen is a complex one, but it leads to some unforgettable and entertaining fight scenes.

Art
I don't pay attention to art as much as others do, but I must say that HxH has some very fun and unique character designs. Some of the background art blew me away and made me pause the episode just to look at it. So overall, I'd say the art is pretty great.

Sound
Voice acting for most of the series isn't anything that sticks out, but I can think of some parts where I was blown away some of the performances. The OST is good, and has some standout tracks. The opening is amazing, and the endings are some of my favorite endings out there. The endings are what stuck out to me the most. Pretty much all of them are amazing, but my favorite is definitely Hunting for Your Dream.

Enjoyment
I pretty much never lost interest throughout this entire 148 episode journey. It was consistently engaging, even during the long exposition parts, which is something I cannot stand in the manga. The length for this series, in my opinion, is not an issue, since I just lost track of time whenever I watched it.
