From a young age, Gon Freecss had been interested in Hunters. This was because his father who he'd never been able to meet was a hunter. His dream was to find his father and make him proud. In the Hunter exam he meets three friends; Kurapika, a young boy who's the last in his clan due to a murderous collection of thieves known as the Phantom Troupe; Leorio, the oldest and tallest of the group, he hopes to become a hunter in order to use the money and privilege to become a doctor so he can perform a specific and expensive type of treatment to ... anyone for free after his only childhood friend died from not getting the treatment; Killua Zoldyck, the only one the same age as Gon, he comes from a large and well known family of assassins, and has run away to become a hunter, until his older brother forces him home.

The art style, even from episode one, is fluent, bright and fitting, and somehow this fantastic animation team can create the brightest, happiest expressions but also the most horrifyingly brutal and disgusting violence. The amazing animation paired with the incredible OST (original soundtrack) creates some of the saddest, funniest, more terrifying and most incredible scenes from any anime I have ever seen. The enjoyment I gained from this anime is phenomenal, and is by far my favourite anime I've seen this year, and is definitely in my top three best anime ever. Somehow this anime makes you love the anti villains and villains just as much as you love the main characters.

If you've thought about watching this and have put it off for a later date, you made a mistake. This anime is fantastic and it very enjoyable, interesting and lovable. I finished this anime, all 148 episodes, in 16 school days, and thought I enjoyed every second I regret watching it so quickly. The Chimera Ant arc is one of my favourite arcs ever and some of the characters in Hunter x Hunter, like Knuckle, Kite and Killua, are fantastic. I'll never forget about this anime and how happy and excited it made me, and in a lot of ways it reminded me of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. So, if you love an anime with fantastic character, animation and soundtrack that can be both light hearted and deeply heartbreaking at the same time, with amazingly written and creatively lovable characters and a story you'll never forget, this is the anime for you.

You've probably heard of Fullmetal Alchemist:Brotherhood, as it is widely known through the anime community as a fantastic and incredible anime. The main rule of this anime is of Equivalent Exchange; To gain, something of equal value must be lost.

So, what's the Story?
The story follows brothers Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric in a journey to find a mythical gem known as the Philosophers Stone in order to bend the laws of alchemy and receive the bodies they lost trying to bring back their mother after her death at the hands on an illness. That is the basics, though the second half of the anime is ... very different and the story becomes a lot more serious and the entire tone goes from a selfish journey for their own benefit and turns into a massive story that is absolutely fantastic.

The story of the anime, as a whole, was clear and enjoyable, and kept the overall feeling of the anime constant, always adding suspense, comedy, sadness, and any emotion possible.

The characters are amazing. From main characters like Edward, to background characters, each is given a motive, story and enough time to actually create a connection. Every character was understandable and somewhat likable or relatable.

The sub and the dub are both amazing, and the dub is one of the best ever for any anime, every character's voice is great, well used and memorable. Not a single voice sounds wrong. Every character sounds exactly like you'd expect them to and it makes the entire anime a lot easier to watch as well as a lot more enjoyable, creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.

The animation style is incredible, fluent and beautiful. It works perfectly, and somehow they use the same animation style effectively no matter what emotion they are attempting to convey. Comedy. seriousness and sorrow are all presented fantastically

This anime is easily one of my all time favourite anime, and I have yet to meet someone who genuinely dislikes it. It's worth a shot, and I know you'll fall in love with it, just like I did. Watch it all and there will definitely be a least one character you love and at least one part of the story you will always remember.
