I already knew from a video on YouTube that the animation studio had a lot of potential. When I found out by chance that the studio had released a short series with three episodes, I was very excited and my expectations were high but after watching it my expectations have definitely been met.

Animation:10
Let's start right away with the category where this series shines most and why I had such high expectations for these three episodes: the animation. Although I had high expectations and was a little afraid that I was hoping for too much, the opposite was the case. My expectations were even exceeded. What ... stands out the most are the fights, which are equipped with incredible choreography, great special effects and insane tracking shots. In some scenes, I really almost ejaculated. For such fight scenes, I would even close PornHub as this is where I climax faster. I don't think we should digress ... the background was also beautifully designed. This is mainly caused by the special art style. This gives the world a nice atmosphere and makes it look more alive. I do have a small point of criticism about the otherwise more than perfect animation. The character animation was a little strange in some places. But that doesn't change the fact that I'll be awarding a 10 here, the fights were simply too well animated for that

Story:7
Now we come to the story. Of course, you have to consider that there were only three episodes and these were probably more of a teaser for the upcoming projects. Nonetheless, I have to say that the story didn't disappoint either. You get to know the interesting world, which reminds a little of Avatar the Last Airbender, mainly because of the elements, and also had an interesting narrative style. But you noticed that the main focus was not on that.

Character: 6
Now to the characters. In my opinion this is Fog Hill's weakest category, but that doesn't mean they were bad. Again, of course, it's difficult to build up interesting characters in three episodes. Except for the probably protagonist of the story, I didn't find anyone I found particularly interesting. Above all, you don't really know who will be important for the later story. As with the story, I would say that there is a lot of teaser here and the desire for more, because especially in the last episode many characters were shown who could promise a lot.

Sound: 8.5
The music and sound effects were produced with a very high quality. The series had nice atmospheric and equally good combat soundtracks at the same time, which really supported the scenes well. Especially with the already great fights, the soundtrack takes them to another level and not only the soundtrack, the sound effects were really "noice" for some attacks.

Enjoyment: 9

Overall: 8
Even if the story doesn't blow you away or the characters don't seem so interesting at first, the three episodes definitely made you want more. This is of course mainly due to the incredibly lavishly animated fights and the appealing world building.

This is art but only the guy who looks like a sea cucumber. In Germany we call it Seegurke.

Story: 2

I was amazed by how well it was wiritten. But the clips with the divers feel kinda out of story... but maybe i just have to watch it again.

Art: 3

It really was an interesting experience. The animation was really fluent... ufotable is nothing aganist it.

... Character: 2

The sea cucumber was amazing but he hasn't shown any development in the series. The other characters were a little out of place...but this is due to the "Seegurke" who overshadowed the others with his great performance. But the quotes from the characters in the show were just breathtaking.. like "I'm a greatest dreamer"- the melon or "Will it fly"- the pilot.

Sound: 10

Bora Bora!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing i cant stop listen to this!!!!!!! Thi s really was an exciting experience or how the onion would say it:"What an impressive moment!"

Enjoyment: 4

It has the same effect as drugs. You see and do stupid things after taking it, such as writing a review for Flying Luna Clipper. But I say bye now...
"Hey mister we gonna fly now?"
Yes, we gonna fly now cause i am on fly now.

This review contain spoilers.

Animation: 8.5

I think that Madhouse did an excellent job by animating Hunter x Hunter. The studio does always make a really good job in animating characters and in showing their emotion. I think that is the strongest point here. Otherwise wasn't Hunter x Hunter that much of an animationorgasm, there were some hights and pretty good and smoothly animated fights but mostly it was not that overwhelming.

Story: 10

The story itself is pretty simple. A twelve year old boy is searching his dad... wow. Likewise is the world building of HxH simple but great. It is like our world but with ... some extras until ep. 148. But what makes the story a masterpiece is how it is told and there is espacielly one Arc that stands out: The Chimera Ant Arc.
The best Shounen Arc i've ever watched which reflects the deep abysses of humanity.

Characters: 10

Where do I start? The characters are probably the best HxH has to offer espacielly the antagonists are excellent. Of course the protagonists are also great where i liked gon the most who has become on of my favourite main protagnists in anime due to his development in the chimera ant arc. But as I said it's the antagonists that make up this anime. More specifically: Chrollo, Hisoka and Meruem.
Of those three amazing characters i liked Meruem the most. He is for me the best antagonists that exisits in anime. How he transformed from an invincible monster to a person that only needs one word to find his inner peace is just incredible.

Sound: 10

Hunter x Hunter has one of the best soundtracks i have ever heard. It is unique and fits perfectly in every scene. I would here to highlight the soundtrack of the phantom troupe which has made some episodes to a masterpiece (ep.51).

Enjoyment: 9.5

Actually there would be also a 10/10 here too but i didn't like the Greed island Arc so much. Nonetheless every episode was enjoyable and some of them where one of the episodes i have ever seen (Ep. 51, 111, 112, 116, 126, 131, 134, 135).

Overall: 10

Overall Hunter x Hunter is the best shounen arc i have ever watched. Maybe the best anime i have ever watched with amazing characters, ingenious story telling and a great soundtrack.
