Ok, I'm going to try to keep this short. To me, this is undoubtedly the best anime made (as of 28/12/2020). And here's why...
Story: 10/10
The story is split up into 6 arcs
- The Hunter Exam
- Heavens Arena
- Yorknew
- Greed Island
- Chimera Ant
- Election
Each of these arcs are amazing. One thing about this show that I really appreciate is that the arcs sort of alternate between being lighthearted and kinda dark. It creates a really nice balance which makes it a lot easier to watch for me. The show also has really nice gradual world building so it never gets too complex and confusing
...
all at once. Overall, you should have no issue understanding the story even if you're new to anime. I've shown this to a lot of people as their first anime, like some of my friends and even my mum, and none of them have been disappointed so far. So even if you're new to anime, this one might be a good one for you.
Art: 9/10
The only reason I'm not giving it a 10/10 for art is mainly because of the high standard we now have for animation in 2020 with shows with incredible animation such as Demon Slayer and Violet Evergarden. This anime is from 2011 but the art isn't dated but it also doesn't reach the levels of animation that we now have. Despite this, it is animated really well. It's clean and crisp and yh I don't really have much else to say on that. The fight scenes look sick.
Sound: 10/10
Hunter x Hunter genuinely has my favourite ever soundtrack in all of anime. I've watched this show at least 5 times so I could probably sing you the whole soundtrack. The OP is legendary. It only really has two op songs and they are both just different sections from the same song but it works. I never got bored of it. Whenever it comes on it just gets me hyped. I feel the same way about the ending songs too. I could go on and on about how great it is and how each part of the soundtrack fitted in perfectly with the story. But, I won't bore you too much and I'll just say it's great.
Characters: 10/10
Our main 4 characters are Gon, Killua, Kurapika and Leorio.
Kurapika and Leorio aren't there for some of the arcs but it's ok because Gon and Killua are. Much like the large majority of Hunter x Hunter fans, Killua is my favourite. The character development in this series is done perfectly, especially for Killua and Meruem (a character you'll meet in the Chimera Ant Arc). The character designs are also some of my favourite in anime because of how they vary, especially in the Chimera Ant arc. You'll know a character is important if they have a cool character design. What I think draws me most to these characters is their relationships with each other, mainly Gon and Killua who share this beautiful friendship. I think it was probably one of the main reasons I enjoyed the show as much as I did.
Enjoyment: 10/10
Well... needless to say I really enjoyed this show. After writing about how great it was I might actually rewatch it again now...for the 6th time...
Overall: 10/10
Obviously. Also I heard there's another anime coming out soon to continue the story but I'm not holding my breath for it. Hopefully! But we'll just wait and see.
