Review of Hunter x Hunter

There may be some minor spoilers ahead but I’ll try not to spoil anything important. STORY: 9 I love the story of this anime. It really captured me, usually I take quite a long time to watch anime, however I got really into this one and ended finishing it in 6 days. I think Madhouse did an incredible job with the pacing. The only reason I didn’t give this a 10/10 is because I think the Chimera Ant Arc is long, yes it probably needs to be that long for it to work, but I don’t like how long it is. ART: 10 It’s made by Madhouse, sowhat should you expect? I love the art in this anime as well. It’s just so nice to watch, and the animation is also done incredibly well. There’s not much else to say really.

SOUND: 10

Again, I don’t really know what to say here other than I think it’s incredible.

CHARACTERS: 8

I do really like the characters in this anime, the only reason this section is the lowest for me is the two main characters, Gon and Killua. I don’t dislike them, but I also don’t like them. I think the Hunter Exam Arc was setting the anime up to have four lead characters, where it does, but only in certain arcs. I think the anime is better when it includes Kurapika and Leorio. Going away from the main characters, my only other complaint is Mereum’s character development. He started of with a cold personality, but as the Arc went on he became someone who plays board games. I would have loved to see him stay how he was when he was introduced.

ENJOYMENT: 10

My overall enjoyment of this anime was extremely high. It was an incredibly fun thing to watch and I will definitely be watching it again, at some point.

OVERALL: 9

I would definitely recommend this anime to anyone who hasn’t watched it. Also if you don’t know whether or not to watch this or the original, I would definitely say this one.
