Review of Hunter x Hunter
the thing I particularly like about this show is its character development . I really like each and every character as they all have different personalities and contributions. Even the side characters (phantom troupe members, chimera ants etc) are given importance to the level where they appear as main characters. I love the bonds shared by the main characters (gon and killua , gon and ging etc) I really like leorio's fun character, hisoka's maniacal obsession etc. the characters are one of the strongest points of the show , and they also make it different from other shonen anime. another thing that I really love about this show isthat it has no fillers. I really hate fillers at the peak point of an anime . being a long anime , it doesn't have any fillers which is amazing.(well it has 2 fillers which a recaps and thus easily skippable)
regarding the plot , it's not too amazing , but its good . however , the storyline does get inconsistent . the first arc (hunter exams) is kinda Luke warm , the story accelerates and gets real good at the kurapika arc . likewise , the starting of chimera ant is pretty bad but the arc as a whole is literally one of the best ones I've ever seen. I think the characters themselves make the storyline pretty good (think about that).
about the direction and combat scenes : the fights and action is pretty good.
Netero vs chimera ant king is one of the most epic fights out there (to the people who've not watched this : its not a spoiler) .the only thing is that there are a few fights which last too long which may get a little boring. and also , the narrator speaks too much in the chimera ant arc which is irritating.
among the things I like the most are the themes . I still constantly sing the themes In my mind , and get nostalgic at the same time . another thing is the voice actors (especially killua and ging).
TL;DR : hunter x hunter is a unique action anime with exceptional character development , no fillers and fire themes . it's strengths clearly outweigh its weaknesses and it's brilliant .
