Review of Hunter x Hunter

Hunter X Hunter is one of my favorite animes. I came across this anime after I was watching a little bit of Naruto and it struck me how there were so many similarities between the two. So I decided to give this a try and I'm so glad I did. The story is simple and if you want to know what it's about then just read the summary provided by mal. The biggest strength of this show is it's story and the main character.First, the story,like I said, is simple which I think is the best recipe for shounen animes. It is

easy to follow along and understand the problems and motivations of the character. The story

is consistent with the goals of the main character which most shounen animes tend to mess

up. I feel an urgency for Gon to find his father and also sympathize with his struggles. Their is

a clear goal and I see Gon reaching closer to fulfilling that goal and that is what gives this

anime the compliment of successful progression. I define successful progression as the story

advancing due to the efforts made by the MC to reach his dreams. Some animes make the

mistake of wandering into foreign places and forgetting the fact that the main character has a

goal and by straying off the paths of that goal the story is not progressing at all. The story of

Gon enduring hardships, making friends, going on adventures, and most importantly reaching

his goal is what makes Hunter X Hunter superior to Naruto and overall a great anime.
