Good start, reminded me of One Piece.

Yeah, it kind of is a similar start to One Piece isn't it?

It's different from the anime. Either way I liked it :)
It'll be fun to spot all other differences that may come!

Quite different than the 2011 anime in some ways. The art is a little simplistic (and I heard that at times the art is horrendous)

4/5

Time for yet another re-read!

I think this is a pretty nice first chapter. Both anime adaptions first episodes are instead pretty bad imo.

I like the overall focus on atmosphere rather than plot or action.

Nice beginnings, reminds me of Luffy setting sail too.

I was scared that the word "Hunter" meant we'll see a lot of animals getting killed but it doesn't seem to be the case, at least at the moment; I'll drop it if that's the case.

But for now, all good, ready for the adventure. I also like Gon's attitude, very positive and not emo when talking about his past.

On to the next one

So many mentions, I need to reread One Piece after this one.

Also, this is a really great opening chapter looking back. No idea why the 2011 anime adaption left it out all the bits with Kite considering how much it adds to the overall story.

Decided to buy the first couple of volumes. The 2011 adaptation is my all time favorite anime so im excited to start the manga. The first chapter was great, i definitely liked it more than the first episode, and so far i think the art is overhated. Excited to see more :D

I am grateful to Viz! I couldn't even start this manga with that awful scan quality. But Viz & MangaPlus made this possible... even in translation!

Pretty good chapter 1. I'm reading it in color, and love how expressive everyone is.

Insightful after having watched the anime. I didn't expect it to be so different.
