Review of Hunter x Hunter

The King of the shounen anime, but it might not be your cup of tea. Hunter X Hunter is heavy on exposition. By this I mean they will give you a lot of heavy context. Entire episode can go in explaining small details. This helps you understand the fundamental rules. It's like a chess, understanding the rules is really boring, but when the game begins it is one of the most brilliant things out there. But do you know what is the problem with chess? It is not everyone's cup of tea, rules can be tough to understand and it takes a lot of time and patienceto master the game. We live in the age of instant gratification, where things like, Fortnite, Call of Duty and My hero academia dominates.

Most shounen anime has this type of story.

The protagonist has sad background story, he is also useless and trash but somehow he has something, which makes him special. He is the pillar of righteousness, who can convert non-believer into believer. As the story progresses, he will get a random power up, which is definitely overpowered ability, but the trash protagonist doesn't know how to use it. With his hard work the protagonist will make That Power his own, but sooner or later he will get more powers at the top of that overpowered ability he already has. Then our protagonist will go and Beat some bad guys, who are bad because of their twisted sense of Justice. In the end, with the help of the power of friendship he will become the greatest number 1.

If you want anime which represent your boring and lackluster life, where good for nothing protagonist overcomes all the odds despite being a trash. Anime which make you feel motivated that you can also be something great. Then this is not your type show.

Hunter x hunter is not your typical shounen anime. Aftertaste of this anime will not leave a good taste in your mouth. People who suck in this universe, are usually the one who died first. It is like the representation of real life, no Candy coating, no talk no jutsu, no asspulls.
