Yorknew can be described as a dark thriller in a big city. Although most HxH story arcs are light hearted, both Yorknew and the Chimera Ant arc are two of the best and darkest arcs shonen has to offer.

Eventually though, the series takes a dark turn. HxH gives off that classic and charming shonen vibe that has been lost in recent years, and it does so with its head held up high. Not the kind of “light heartedness” that makes you say “this is childish and below me” but the kind that appeals to everyone. Due to this, story progression is solid with the plot moving forward with each episode.Īlthough HxH initially gives off a light hearted impression, it gives off a good one. Excluding two recap episodes, HxH has no filler episodes. The series does a fantastic job at keeping its viewers engaged, time will fly by as you watch most episodes and you'll find yourself breezing through the show. For the most part, HxH is very well paced. As for pacing and development, they are excellent. This creates a natural transition that highlights what the series really is, a journey. Another thing about HxH is that its arcs are connected with one another, with each arc naturally following the one before it. Sometimes, these shifts in tone occur after an arc ends though other times, it even occurs mid-arc. Not only that, the series is also able to undergo significant tonal shifts with ease (light to dark and vice versa). HxH successfully dabbles in several genres in six story arcs tackling survival, fighting tournaments, crime thriller, virtual realities, war and politics. The amount of variety that is packed into HxH's story is also very impressive. Hunter x Hunter (2011) boasts one of the finest writing in the world of shonen the depth and flow of the story, enthralling characterizations, strong dialogue and impressive world-building are all crafted into a fascinating tale that can absorb viewers into lengthy marathons. HxH is made up of several arcs that are all extremely well-written, which brings me to the best part of the series, the writing. Although a story of finding one's father is simple, it is the path that is taken towards this end that makes the series truly special. After learning that his father left him at a young age to become a Hunter, Gon decides to follow in his footsteps not only to find him, but also to see what was so special about the profession that made his father choose it over him. Named Gon who embarks on a journey to find his father. If a show this good is still flying under your radar or if you are discouraged from watching this because of its 'childish appearance' then reading this review is a must. I decided to write this review to do the show justice. Neither has it been successful in garnering a fan base similar to that of SNK or SAO.

For an anime that seems to do everything right, it isn't talked about a lot at a popular level. The lack of popularity surrounding Hunter x Hunter (2011) has always confused me, especially after catching up to it six months ago. They will meet a plethora of monsters, creatures, and characters-all while learning what being a Hunter truly means. Throughout their journey, Gon and his friends embark on an adventure that puts them through many hardships and struggles. To attain their own goals and desires, together the four of them take the Hunter Exam, notorious for its low success rate and high probability of death. However, Gon soon realizes the path to achieving his goals is far more challenging than he could have ever imagined.Īlong the way to becoming an official Hunter, Gon befriends the lively doctor-in-training Leorio, vengeful Kurapika, and rebellious ex-assassin Killua. Twelve-year-old Gon Freecss is determined to become the best Hunter possible in hopes of finding his father, who was a Hunter himself and had long ago abandoned his young son.
