Review of Hunter x Hunter

This is going to be a short review. *very small spoilers* First of all, people who put 1 and say this is terrible yet talk about redeeming values and some characters they like are TOTAL HYPOCRITS. If you like something about an anime, its not a 1, you're just brigading. This is the most creative shounen out there bar none. Many people who dont like HxH also say they dont like shounen, might as well say they dont like anime while we're at it because its the biggest genre. I swear someone who rated this 1 also rated the pingpong movie 10, yes the one with terribleart. Im not saying that ping pong movie aint good, but hell you see what I'm talking about? People who know will know that's all I'll say.

*** On with the actual review and less ranting about stupid people ***

ALL the characters in this show are very unique, and one look at them and you realize there are multiple defining characteristics only from the way they look. Like the 3 side-characters who look most the same are 3 brothers so its entirely justified. Lets take a few minor characters who show up for an arc or so:

Zepile: Zepile is an antiquity appraiser who has some nen ability(nen being the "chakra" of HxH), he has unique eyebrows and a likeable personality. You see him in like 3-4 episodes but he still leaves an impression and you see him again as a cameo later. Zepile throws some appraising wisdom at you LEFT AND RIGHT for the short moments he is on screen, indicating the author is familiar with auctions and antiquities.

Bizeff: Bizeff is the "shadow" leader of a totalitarian nation. He recreated a small town in an underground bunker only to have "relationships" from women he handpicks from a catalogue. This shows a deep understanding of human politics from the author. Not only that, but towards the end, the author succeeds in making a man like Bizeff relatable to the audience somehow...

Pokkle and Ponzu: Those two are initially shown separated in the hunter exam arc, and during that arc you see that they are pretty different. One uses bees as a weapon, the other a bow, and they dont talk with each other. However, in a later arc 80 episodes later you see them again and this time they are together, indicating they met and kept in contact offscreen. Not only that but they are used a MAJOR way during this new arc. I won't spoil it tho...

All the little details like this of the characters and plot, means that in order to understand most of those details you will NEED to watch this show multiple times, as I have.

The music is also masterpiece level. I get goosebumps from many of them.

The bad:
Initial design of Gon, honestly he looks dumb lol but once you know him and the story it makes sense.
The arc right after the hunter exam arc(the first one) is pretty slow and weird, but it serves well as a set up for the future so it all adds up in the end.

Conclusion: HxH is amazing and anyone saying otherwise probably doesnt have the ability for critical thinking.
