Review of Hunter x Hunter: The Last Mission

Well, that was interesting. The main problem I have with non-canon material is that it feels like it's a waste of time. That wasn't really the case in this movie, not for the most part. I felt like I had to watch the whole thing and I'm glad I did. Saying that I felt the characters were very lacking, saying some pretty stupid lines and literally doing the same thing they did in the Chimera Ant arc in the anime (which I'm pretty sure is meant to happen after this movie). The final confrontation was alright I guess, but it left me feeling ripped off. I didn't getinto it or feel anything for the characters, though I didn't feel like I wanted it to be over already. They had something there, but not quite the something I was hoping for.

The music was pretty good. It sounded like remixes but left a lot to be desired and the soundtrack didn't seem to fix into what was happening in the story.

The animation was really good, if not a little bit basic. It reminded me a lot of the Chimera Ant arc from the anime at the end, but I can overlook that since the art was amazing.

Overall this gets a 7/10. I feel it was more than mediocre but not really anything more than just "good". It felt like it was lacking a lot of stuff but it was watchable nonetheless.
