Review of Hunter x Hunter
ive never written a review before but, 8 months later, ive decided i have to. theres no question about it. what exactly is hxh, you may be asking. why should i watch it? well you see, hunter x hunter is an anime in which satan and god came together in harmony to create. their teamwork is impeccable, as proven by the MASTERPIECE that is hxh. do you enjoy agony, lying awake at night contemplating suicide, existential crises and bawling uncontrollably in the middle of the day in front of your friends? do you also enjoy shounen adventures that quickly turn dark, or staring at a knifefor half an hour thinking about how easy it would be to end the emotional trauma it caused you?
WATCH HXH!!!
ok but seriously
the story is amazing and the development is quite fast-paced but not too rushed. it follows the basic story of a young boy whose father left him, who wants to become a hunter just like his father. he starts his adventure with natural talent and meets kurapika and leorio, and during his hunter exam meets killua who very quickly becomes his best friend.
very happy, huh? how can it all go downhill, you may be wondering. i'm not telling you. find out for yourself. it's a very unpredictable anime/manga because i don't know how any of these ideas were thought of. what drug? can i try it? got mad artists block man
the art... it's not particularly stylized but it is very anime. they're very good at portraying expression and the use of colour and scenery is amazing but it's not particularly striking, like magi or panty and stocking. however its definitely not a bad art style in any way and it's on the better side.
THE SOUNDTRACK... oh my lord the soundtrack.
the opening theme stays the same all throughout and it's very upbeat. the irony. i cant put into words the feels the soundtrack gave me but u will be singing along to the opening and ending theme with a shaky voice n tears streamin down ur face i promise u
the characters felt so real. the development was incredible and you get to see everyone's backstory and every main character has their own arc with further development than you see in most other anime. the characters are the main reason this anime will resonate with you for so long and their relatability is fresh and tubular, dude. you don't even need to be into the story to watch it; you could literally just watch it for cool killua moments etcetera.
this is still my favourite anime except i promised never to watch another anime in my life because of the emotional scar this left me with. thanks hxh
overall 1000000/10 please watch it
