Review of Hunter x Hunter
I have to say that I've watched both the original and this one, and I can clearly say that this one is the better version, not only because of the art, but also because the 2011 version fully adapts the manga, while the original adapts everything 'til the Greed Island Arc. Now, let's start with the REAL Review. Story (8) A lot of people started the anime for the story. The others did it because of the animations and the vines they saw on Youtube. Anyway, the story is simple: Here is a boy who wants to find his father (which is a troll in anyway possible), aguy with REALY big family problems, a guys who has a dark past, and a guy that is, pretty useless , until the last arc. Each one has it's own objective, but since the story has problems in telling us how they will success is pretty weird. I mean, come on! (SPOILER) Gon meets his father and that's it. We don't know what happened with Leorio, Kurapika, and Killua, well, hard to tell.
To make it clear:
The Hunter Exam Arc: It was made to introduce the characters, so, nothing special.
The Zoldyck Arc: It was made in order to tell us how weird Killua's family is.
The Arena Arc: It was made for the sake of seeing Hisoka Vs Gon in an arena. And also, beacuse they had to tell us how Nen works.
The Yorknew Arc: THE BEST ARC! Finally, something brutal. That's how u tell how strong the evil guys are in the HunterXHunter world. If there is one thing that I hate about this arc, is the forced drama beetwen the Spider Gang. But Hey! Kurapika just went full Sasuke and kills some of the gang and... Yeah. Brutal, BTW.
The Greed Island Arc: Meant to show us what powers Gon and Killua will have in the next arc, and also how Gon's father has many friends. THAT'S IT.
The Chimera Arc: THE 2ND BEST ARC! The pacing ruined it (4 episodes and only 5 minutes have passed. RLY?).
The Election Arc: Leorio finally does something!!! And also, the end of Gon's Journey. OR IS IT?...
Art (10)
When you want good animated battles, you can always see an action anime made by MADHOUSE. And also, the characters look either cool, either funny. Nothing special for these guys. If you've watched any other action-packed anime by Madhouse, than you know what to expect. If not, well, see for yourself. Nice art, nothing important else to say.
Sound (10)
The opening is still in my mind, and the endings are awesome, fiting with their arc's pacing. And also, (talking about the Chimera Arc) if you invite the guys who created the Dovahkiin song, or, better said, the entire music in the game SKyrim, you know it's going to be good.
Character (7)
Why 7? For example:Killua, after the Yorknew Arc, he is mentioned in an episode later on and that's it. Same thing happened with the spiders, Leorio and the chairman.
Enjoyment (9)
I love this anime. Especially for the battles. And also because i am the biggest fan of the shounen genre.
Overall (9)
GO WATCH IT IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ANIME IS IN TOP 5 ANIME ON MAL!!!!
