Synopsis

Hunters devote themselves to accomplishing hazardous tasks, all from traversing the world's uncharted territories to locating rare items and monsters. Before becoming a Hunter, one must pass the Hunter Examination—a high-risk selection process in which most applicants end up handicapped or worse, deceased.

Ambitious participants who challenge the notorious exam carry their own reason. What drives 12-year-old Gon Freecss is finding Ging, his father and a Hunter himself. Believing that he will meet his father by becoming a Hunter, Gon takes the first step to walk the same path.

During the Hunter Examination, Gon befriends the medical student Leorio Paladiknight, the vindictive Kurapika, and ex-assassin Killua Zoldyck. While their motives vastly differ from each other, they band together for a common goal and begin to venture into a perilous world.

Hunter x Hunter (2011) is your next anime obsession—here’s 10 spoiler-free reasons why!

Summary: To become a Hunter like his dad, 12-yr-old Gon braves the deadly Hunter Exam with medical student Leorio, vengeful Kurapika, and ex-assassin Killua—a motley crew tackling a wild, treacherous world!

1. Through well-written, multi-layered character arcs, Hunters chasing their dreams are preyed upon by their own doubts that creep in as unexpected situations expose their vulnerabilities and unintended consequences test their resolve.

Dragon Ball and Naruto are constantly given guff for their power creep, even One Piece is somewhat with the haki system but Hunter x Hunter has got to be the worst example in all of shounen anime. The amount of times enemies are like... Legendarily strong in the lore then entirely overshadowed by the next ...

"I can see people calling it a fun guilty pleasure, but one of the highest ranked anime of all time is a catastrophic crime"

Hunter X Hunter 2011 is one I have heard of for years. In fact I caught up to the manga many years ago during one of the many hiatuses. I remember thinking the manga was pretty good. Anyway my brother told me it was his favorite anime. He is not usually into anime so I thought it would be a great thing for us to bond over if I watched it again. And so I started.

At first things seemed good, ...
