I'll try to make this short and sweet, and down to the point, for those wondering whether, or not, to watch this show. Short answer, yes! Reasons why? Read on.
So I'll start with this: "At least watch the first 24 episodes, and then see how you like it.", that quote is roughly something I read from someone else before I watched this show and I can tell you that just after the first episode I was hooked, and I'm sure that you'll get hooked too.
Anyway getting to the actual show, as you can see I've rated this a 10, which it's well deserved, Yoshihiro Togashi,
...
the man behind this show, has created a masterpiece with Hunter x Hunter. Some of you may know him for another one of his popular works too, that being "Yuu☆Yuu☆Hakusho".
(Hunter x Hunter = HxH)
Story / Characters:
The story for HxH is very well done, with the show consisting of the major plot surrounding Gon, one of the main characters alongside, Killua, Kurapika, and Leorio.
Each character has their own significant importance, with that being anything ranging from their backstory to their goals, their motivations. All of the characters have a detailed backstory, so you'll understand their aspiration to become "Hunters".
While Gon and Killua have the most prominent involvement in the story, don't fret, Kurapika and Leorio also play major parts as, they too, are main characters. While Gon and Killua set out to achieve their goals and Kurapika and Leorio do the same, they group splits up for a period of time, while they each make names for themselves.
The further the story continues, the more sucked in and attached you become, the darker the story becomes, the greater the ordeal, for the characters, becomes. Don't get the wrong mindset that it's all fun and games, with arcs of the story becoming darker by the episode, you won't be able to stop from watching "just one more episode", you'll want to see the climax, the conclusion, you won't be satisfied until you do.
Also as the arcs change more characters are introduced with quite major roles too, as one would expect. These characters also have their own motivations that become intertwined with the main characters, helping and assisting them along the way.
Oh and if you're worried about the main characters being "too op", then don't. They win fights, they lose fights, they accept that, and they train. There are also many characters who outrank them, in terms of power, skill, and experience, and they accept that, they know they don't stand a chance, especially if they just run straight in without thinking. If they do come to a situation where they do rush in without thinking it through or not knowing the severity of the situation they're getting themselves into, they're very quickly, taught it by having to live with the excruciating consequences of their actions.
Art / Sound:
Okay, so I don't really have much to put here, and to keep this as short as possible, I'll tell you this, the Art and Sound are absolutely amazing.
For the Art, it's truly amazing, very highly detailed, adding another layer of depth to the show, and you're never left with a moment thinking "Wait, what's going on, why are these colours all splashing together?!", it's very clear and all just flows together.
For the Sound, it too is outstanding. Just like with the art, it adds a new layer of depth, changing with the mood of the characters or the atmosphere of the environment, you'll always feel immersed. A situation where a characters life is on the line? The situation will become obscure with a tense feeling, that you too, will be able to feel.
Just in case: TL;DR - You really can't go wrong with this Anime, truly a masterpiece. An outstanding story, which you'll want more of after the 148 episodes come to a close.
A very enjoyable Anime, would definitely recommend watching. Don't miss out on this truly amazing adventure, watch the show, and enjoy the ride!
