Hunter x Hunter (2011) is outstanding.

The story is amazing, (especially for shounen standards) following Gon and Killua through 7 different story arcs, all of which tying into each other and re-writing typical shounen story tropes in a unique and highly enjoyable way.

The animation is very good and consistent, maintaining the same quality through all 148 episodes, which is a pretty rare feat for such a long show.

The soundtrack is very memorable and unique, the opening and (most) endings are great, and the voice acting is spot-on. (Even the dub isn't half-bad so far.)

The characters are amazing and compliment each other very nicely. The main characters ... are very likeable and the villains feel very real compared to other shounen villains, who are usually more one-dimensional. It's hard to even call them "bad guys" at some points since HxH blurs the line between "good" and "evil" so much throughout the story. (The Chimera Ant arc in particular.)

Hunter x Hunter is a very different experience compared to the likes of Naruto and other big shounen franchises. It's truly a masterpiece and I definitely reccommend you watch it if you haven't already, you won't regret it.
