    The anime is the story of a boy named Gone Freecs who join the hunters association to find out more about his long lost dad who was supposedly dead. He takes the hunters exam and starts an amazing friendship with Killua . The story goes on with their adventures and friendship. Gon finally meets his dad and he sets him on a new adventure where the anime ends. It's fun packed and thrilling with lots of action comedy and drama. I will always recommend watching this to Anubisa who enjoys anime.

    After having watched pretty much every single anime out there including Fullmetal Alchemist brotherhood, Code geass, Naruto franchise, Death note, seven deadly sins, one punch man, Dragon ball franchise and there is still none that can compare to this legendary work of art. I believe it to be much better than attack of titan and to this day I have yet to find a single anime or show that can make me feel the way I did when watching Hunter x Hunter. If you love anime and haven't watched Hunter x Hunter you are no fan of anime. Believe me watching Hunter x Hunter will be the best decision of your life. An imdb rating of 9.1 doesn't do it justice.

    Hunter X Hunter has to be the best anime out there. Without spoiling anything or going too deep into the details, I'm going to explain to you why it is so good : First, all the main characters are interesting, have layered personalities, goals and flaws. They all bring something into the show and none of them fall into the typical anime clichés even if they sometimes carry the traditional traits of the most well known characters. The villains in this show are certainly high point, as you always feel you favorite characters are in danger near them because they're so strong and unpredictable. Hisoka, the main antagonist, is refreshing as he differs from what you typically see in an anime : He's an emotionless psychopath who does not necessarily want to annihilate the protagonist the whole time, but instead strives to push him to his limits in order to have a good fight in the future. He helps him evolve and progress. Another strength of the show is its realism. Don't get me wrong, it is still an anime with characters that have pink hair and sometimes a lot of unbelievable physical characteristics, where everybody's basically a ninja that can run and jump at the speed of light without too much difficulty. In fact, the realism finds itself in the relationships and interactions between the characters that are complex and do not feel rushed. You won't ever see somebody defeat an enemy that has twice its strength just with the power of love or will, which is a problem for me in many animes, it does not work like that in real life ! Every major issue that is solved is followed by a consequence. Even if the protagonists are all prodigies in their own rights, they lose and bite the dust half the time and you'll be served a couple of deaths. You witness their progress in a perfect pace as every arc leads them to develop their respective abilities. Another high note is the genius of the author. I know it seems obvious that I think the creator's great considering that I've been praising his work for two paragaph, but it's still worth mentioning. Togashi touches a large number of themes and each arc feels like a completely new story. He is not afraid to break conventional rules and surprises its readers at every corner. For example, the Yorknew arc is really tense and suspenseful, you feel like any character could die in the next episode, but the plot finally concludes in an unsuspecting way, without explosions and immense battles, yet it somehow feels perfectly fine. Meanwhile, the following arc is way more lighthearted and fun without losing the interest of the viewer. You can see an end of the world like plot followed by a political arc all in the same show. One thing is for sure, HXH is NOT for kids, it seems like it actually is in the first few episodes, but it turns out really dark, creepy, or complex. Just a glimpse at a chapter of the manga makes you understand the dept of the writing. The major weakness of the show is its unbalanced quality. Some arcs can be masterpieces while some others make you want to listen to the episode on fast forward to get to the conclusion. It is mostly the case in the early episodes where you can tell the author hadn't totally figured out where he was going with the story. For example, it's pretty unrealistic that the characters had never heard of Nen (The ''magic'' element of the universe) before the end of their Hunter exams, considering they hadn't been living under rocks and they knew very well what a Hunter was. Think about it, if magic existed in real life, everybody would know about it, except if it is a kept secret, which is not the case in the story. In fact, after the protagonists learn about it, everyone uses it publicly and seems to be totally aware of what it is. Put those little flaws aside, and you'll have a wonderful time watching this show. I'm really picky when it comes to television but I couldn't get enough of Hunter X Hunter, even if i'm far from being the biggest anime fan. Do not get fooled by the childish beginning, I wasn't hooked either before the 30th episode or so. Let's just hope the author stops going on Hiatus and continues this incredible piece of work.
