Review of Hunter x Hunter

Look it's been long enough now that if you haven't watched this banger, you need to. It is so full of character, passion, and excitement. It's such a good story about a young boy and his friend getting thrown in the midst of all these crazy things and prevailing against all odds, and coming out of it changed, in many different ways. Gon originally doesn't seem like much but give him a little time and he becomes an extremely compelling character to have on screen, and the same goes for Killua. There are other characters that are great as well, such as Meruem (amazing character,and perfectly written!) Of course, Kurapika is great, Hisoka is great, and many others as well. Not only are they expertly written individually, but their relationships with the characters around them are very easy to get invested in. The plot is extremely engaging from episode one, all the way to the last episode. The show is paced wonderfully (though imo the heavens arena ark runs a little long but that's just me). The art is so creative and well done; not too serious, but just serious enough that it's darker moments still have all the impact necessary. The score is an absolute banger! Each ark has its own little musical themes in all the right places. This show deserves all the praise and more. It might not be completely perfect, but its really fucking close!

My one and only actual complaint with the show is that they don't really establish Gon's relationship to Kite very well, so his emotional response to everything going on in the chimera ant arc seems a little unwarranted. Other than that though I have no complaints!

Definitely give this one a watch!
