Review of Hunter x Hunter

The only part I didn't like about the story was how they babied fans by explaining every detail piece by piece in the Chimera Ant arc, they took too long showing a battle that lasted half an hour over several episodes. That just killed my thirst for action. But that was my only main complaint. Overall it was great to watch and rewatch again. The art style of the anime stays true to what the manga appears to be, the animators didn't get lazy by reusing certain frames because of the dialogue, I didn't see any frame repeats except for maybe Gon's iconic move. The sound/music wasokay, they got really lazy with openings and kept it to one song with all it's seasons which was a disappointment, I love the endings a lot more. The music in the series seems iconic now because it's well timed in certain events of the story and the sound effects are well done and timed.

The push for the story at the beginning seems natural to me, it didn't seem pushed and forced uncomfortably, but as the series progressed the push kinda seems to wear off and I would seem more interested on the expansion into the current plot at hand. Though it still does drag my interest.

The character design is diverse, but! Gon seems like Naruto, being not the sharpest tool in the shed, exceptional stamina and never giving up on friends. Kurapika seeks to be an avenger, kinda sounds like Sasuke. Anyways what I'm trying to point out is, these Shonen Jump series seem too similar in character design and character design isn't what we look forward to in these series. The character powers, side characters and diversity of them makes up for the somewhat cookie cutter main characters.

All I wished is the author of the series to continue the anime like he did with the manga, but it seems to have ended with 148.
