Review of Hunter x Hunter

Just finished Hunter x Hunter yesterday. Decided to write my first review, I hope everyone finds it helpful. THIS IS THE BEST BL SERIES TO EVER EXIST LOL. On a more serious note: I decided to watch this since I was curious to see why it was placed #5 overall in the MAL rankings. I'll keep this short:Pros: This was a very enjoyable series and easy to watch, the story progresses well and keeps you interested. Good character development, plot, comedy, action, and serious moments which make this a great overall adventure anime.

I don't think I agree with it's ranking as #5 overall anime though. I'd give it an 8.5/10 to be honest.

Cons: The few negatives I had were that there some asspulls/typical shonen tropes. In the end this is still meant to be a shonen manga/anime so it's expected I guess. This show is similar to FMA:B in a sense/gives a similar vibe, though the FMA:B universe was more balanced/realistic in it's setting so they didn't pull any unrealistic/ridiculous moves. I would say shows like FMA:B, Steins Gate, and Shinsekai Yori are true masterpieces. Hunter x Hunter is an excellent adventure/shonen show and very enjoyable, I'm not sure if I'd call it a masterpiece though.
