HOP ON BOARD THE 2016 HYPE TRAIN. WATCH THIS SHOW DE-RAIL INTO THE TRAINWRECK THAT IT IS. This show went downhill super fast. It could have had some potential but they just decided to turn it into a cheesier version of Attack on Titan.

Pros:
-Very nice art in terms of the setting/feels ghibli-esque (Princess Mononoke vibe)

Cons:
-most predictable and generic story ever (grumpy guy meets girl, becomes friends with her, goes into rage mode and defeats bad guy, the end)
-lame characters
-Bunch of things went unexplained

Verdict: If you are in middle school you might enjoy this anime. If you like anime that has slightly more depth ... and isn't just a cheesy zombie fest then stay far far away.

Just finished Hunter x Hunter yesterday. Decided to write my first review, I hope everyone finds it helpful.

THIS IS THE BEST BL SERIES TO EVER EXIST LOL.

On a more serious note:

I decided to watch this since I was curious to see why it was placed #5 overall in the MAL rankings.

I'll keep this short:

... Pros: This was a very enjoyable series and easy to watch, the story progresses well and keeps you interested. Good character development, plot, comedy, action, and serious moments which make this a great overall adventure anime.

I don't think I agree with it's ranking as #5 overall anime though. I'd give it an 8.5/10 to be honest.

Cons: The few negatives I had were that there some asspulls/typical shonen tropes. In the end this is still meant to be a shonen manga/anime so it's expected I guess. This show is similar to FMA:B in a sense/gives a similar vibe, though the FMA:B universe was more balanced/realistic in it's setting so they didn't pull any unrealistic/ridiculous moves. I would say shows like FMA:B, Steins Gate, and Shinsekai Yori are true masterpieces. Hunter x Hunter is an excellent adventure/shonen show and very enjoyable, I'm not sure if I'd call it a masterpiece though.
