Review of Hunter x Hunter
*spoilers* I'll start off by saying this...although it has plenty o' episodes, it still manages to leave the viewer with so many questions. At least it does for me. I love how the story went, its pacing, its character development, it's drama/tension, everything. The story was composed of 3 arcs. First one->the hunter exam, second->greed island PLUS the tower, and last one->chimera ants. The first two i quite enjoied. (1)The 3rd one had it's flaws tbh. Being the major/biggest arc in the story i was expecting more. I don't like how the king died, i don't like how Netero died, i don't like how Pitua wasbasically killed with ONE punch after a tension build of over 40 episodes. That wasn't even a battle. It was just a "power overwhelming" situation. And let's not talk about the other 2 royal guards. Pouf and Youpi...they died w/o a fight. They just...died. I know they had to give most of their life essence to revive Meruem but still, lame way to die. Youpi died literally coughing and Pouf died in the middle of the road cuz the king ain't the mindless murderer he wanted him to be.
(2)What happened to Spider villains? After being the main antagonists for the first half of the show they just...vanished. No story what-so-ever.
(3)The last 10 episodes were a mess. I get that they had to keep the plot armor on Gon but they didn't even tried to hide it. And POW Gon is back to life miraculously.(4)Kurapika was presented as a protagonist but he ( and Leorio for that matter ) hasn't played in the show for a good 90 episodes. Again, he vanished and got revenge, God knows how.
(5)The main story was about Gon searching his father, good pacing up until end of chimera ants arc. His father didn't even want to see him. His real goal is to find the "other world".
(6)They don't mention ANYTHING about Gon's real mother.
(7)At the end of the show Killua went in a world trip with his sister. So far so good. Where is Gon tho? Kiilua embarked Gon's lust for family reunion but Gon said " fk it, i want to see my father even tho he doesn;t give a fk about me ". Ok. You saw him, you spoke with him, he's going on his own path, now why didn't you go with Killua?
(8) What is up with Hisoka?Why did he wanted to keep Gon alive? What happened to him in the end?Why there was no fight between him and Chrollo? Again, like everyother thing that wasn't finished, he just got punshed under a blanket. Noibody knows anything about him. Was he a bad guy? A good guy? Those are the major 8 problems(that i can remember) that bothered me thruout the show.
