Hunter x Hunter is great and outstanding. Even though the first couple of episodes are a bit underwhelming, and not very well adapted, I think the series excels at so many things, which after watching the whole thing allow you to see and perceive the value of everything along with the perfect build-up of the world. A world that is just fascinating and highly immersive.
The characters are all top tier, and the presence of each one of them is used in moderation and is not forced at all, producing a lot more unique and lasting perceptions on them, it is just really outstanding, and you
...
are guaranteed to love the characters, there are just so many great characters, both protagonists, and antagonists, and support characters are really good. The development of every character is really smooth, and genius, and it is delightful seeing the way each character can influence, and mold the plot into a really complex, and intriguing world, all the same having great and really interesting complex interactions between each of the characters. Altogether you are guaranteed to bond to at least one or more of the character and develop opinions on them all, which is just how good they all are.
The story demonstrates its mastery of the world build-up, with just the right amount of everything. When you get into a really mindblowing arc, there is always a great transition arc following it, which at the same time opens up the question mark for new mysteries, and a short break from really intense genius story arcs. The symbolism is not left aside and is present through the story on so many strategic occasions, with really subtle, almost unconscious foreshadowing to what is to come, alongside allusions, and life lessons about us humans, and the world we live in; explicit contrasts, crossed paths, and parallel journeys, pushing the audience into reflecting about the meaning of things, and what is it, that a given situation, character, group, or result is telling us. Ten out of 10 for world and setting build-up
One more of the many strengths that I regard to the series is without a doubt the basis of the story and plot, rooting to the nature of the world build-up, and the diverse scenarios, which successfully create a sense of logic to the major events, turning points, and plot build ups that we see in the series. The presence of Nen, the nature of morality, our protagonists, that journeys o each character, and the experiences that share, and fins together, all come together to form a flawless engaging story, successfully achieving a great connection between the audience and the story, granting meaning to every event, while making the audience feel that everything is there for a reason, and it all makes sense.
The last thing I will say about the show is the fact that it accomplishes a great feat, of having a piece for everybody, and anybody. What I mean is that the show is easy to enjoy, and find something you can relate to, and bind to in this show, and there is just the perfect rationing for everything that adds up to create this magnificent and unique world. The world of Hunter x Hunter.
Overall, Hunter x Hunter is a great show and an actual masterpiece; yet, it is far from perfect, therefore it cannot be called perfect, Nevertheless, it stands out from many other shows, and it separates from the common trend, ultimately creating a unique show, going beyond common shounen anime, and what a show itself is able to accomplish, transcending the limits of our screens. A show that I've come to love, and is known as Hunter x Hunter.
PD: if you noticed I didn't mention anything about the ending, it is because it is still ongoing, and on Hiatus to this day.
