Story. 8/10:
HxH is an anime which gives me love when it comes to thinking about the story and its characters but I hate when thinking about its rhythm and development. Its story focuses on Gon who must overcome missions to achieve his goal: find his father Ging who abandoned him after becoming a Hunter.
Unfortunately, the plot development is agonizingly slow because its battles are based solely on thoughts that are redundant and the narrator telling us things we should already know just by watching the series, plus most episodes are based solely on Gon and Killua doing basically nothing, which is very noticeable in the
...
Greed Island arc. This is bad because I sincerely think that the action that should be given in the battles (because this is a shounen) is paused, being noticed too much in the second half of the Chimera Ants arc where the narrator does not shut up for a damn second. Even so, its story is well built, telling us quite memorable stories and backgrounds which, if it weren't for its development, would make it one of the best fighting anime and super powers in history.
Art. 9/10:
The art is quite good, being worthy of being a Madhouse anime although it is nowhere near as good as Death Parade (anime from the same studio) but still, the characters are quite similar to those of the manga but adapted to what is common to see in company animes. Since I don't know much about art, the only thing I can say is that it can be seen without damaging the eyesight.
Sound. 7/10:
This is one of the worst points of the series due in large part to the opening which hardly changes over the course of all 148 episodes, besides repeating the same five songs, which are the fight song, the sad moment song, the explanation song, the tense moment song and the victory song.
Characters. 10/10:
In my opinion, this point is the best of the whole anime, because at no time do they leave any point untouched and most of the characters have some background telling us the reason for their actions, whether it is Killua who wants to get away from his family and stand up for his friends and sister, be it Ging who wants to challenge his son Gon to see if he is worthy of him, or even Aunt Mito who raises Gon as her son because she couldn't see how his father treated his son. Another great thing is that this series brings you one of the most nefarious but best developed characters in the entire anime / manga which is Meruem and is one of the only reasons to give the Chimera Ants arc a chance.
Enjoyment. 6/10:
I enjoyed this anime quite little due to its unnecessary duration that is caused by the long explanations of the narrator, the slow-motion movements of the attacks and chapters where basically nothing happens.
Overall. 8/10:
This score is due to the fact that the first two arcs (and in part the third) were quite entertaining, although it seems quite unnecessary that Leorio and Kurapika appear on the cover, since the protagonists are really Gon and Killua. In addition, its secondary characters are well developed giving us quite a few villains and memorable stories.
