ChunkySkillz's Hunter X Hunter Tv Review
Rated:
Presentation..., Hmmmmmmm............., I'll give 8 for presentation , pretty high ya. It is because I like this anime ^_^, If you like genre anime, drama, humour, and action, this is the one for you. I tried to find the game using google search, and I can only find "Hunter X Hunter: Maboroshi no Greed Island " for PS Console..., seems like it is not released in SE Asia yet....., probably it wont, the reviews of the game is also very rare, so I think the game should be kinda boring..... for those who have played this game, I would appreciate it if you would send me the review, hehehe. As you all know its highly doubtful if Konami of America will ever publish an English version of this game
The anime is very interesting though.

Frankly speaking, I like Hunter x Hunter's anime far better than that of Naruto. Sure it does drag at times, but in its
absolute worse it doesn't reach the Narutian level(or the Bleachian, or that of most other
NO-I-Am-A-Bigger-Ham-Determinater-Than-Everyone-&-Let-Us-Drag-On-That kind of shounen shows, if that matters).. but
to be clear, I only mentioned Naruto because the two series started airing about the same time, & while Naruto does
slow down considerably on occasions, it never shows any sign of stopping, unlike how HxH managed to stop rather than use
a whole lot of filler arcs until the manga catches up.. then of course the mangaka decided to sleep on the story,
so...
Now, however, following the rather common trend of new old-anime for the new generation, we have a new somewhat
compressed Hunter x Hunter series which I'm following right now, with all-new animation, voice actors, studio & eye
colours. And regardless of my general dislike of the "they did it why don't we" system, I cannot complain when
it comes to anime(not quite often, at least); after all who wouldn't want more of a good thing? As for the HxH 2011, it
seems rather good so far, but it's too early to form a definite opinion. I guess I'll keep watching while hoping that
Yoshihiro Togashi would, if he pleases, keep the chapters coming.. so until the HxH 2012 episodes are safely aired, I'm
keeping my fingers crossed..
I'm being overly biased here for giving it a perfect score, but then again, it's the same with all my ultimate favorites.
Anyway, Hunter X Hunter has two main points that kept it interesting and going. First: its plot. There are many anime that are action-themed, but Hunter X Hunter takes the cake. While other series have more dialog during action scenes, this series are packed with more of the actual action. The duels are not simple roundhouse fighting but can be treated as realistic ones; not too gory but depicts a punch as a punch. The adrenaline you feel from watching the beginning of an arc last through the entirety of it, and the excitement only doubles during the following arc.
The second point is its characters. While Gon may pass as a Gary Sue in terms of attitude and way of thinking, that is, by no means, a reason not to like him. He's one of your typical yet extraordinary boys, and his relationship with Killua is a perfect point. Killua is easily the best character in the series, with his very interesting background and attitude. There's never a dull moment in the series with him around. Kurapika, on the other hand, captivates you with his drive for revenge, and the last arc of the series and the OVA highlights it all. The rest of the cast provides a variety of simplistic entertainment, but that's what's great of it.
All in all, the ingenuity of the whole plot is what gives it its originality and excellence. Don't be fooled by the intricate simplicity of its art, because it's beautiful in its own way and you'll miss what this anime is really worth once you do. (If only Togashi-sensei would be so kind as to finish the manga.)

Hunter x Hunter isn't a ground-breaking masterpiece. It's not going to shock you with the ingenuity of its plot, its art
is simple, and upon first watching or reading it, you can bet it'll feel familiar. The series is shonen, pure and
simple. It's exactly what you'd expect of the genre--which is why it gets a ten. Hunter x Hunter is a perfect example of
what it is.
While the series definitely needs more love, it isn't going to be for everyone. It's kind of like playing the original
Pac Man instead of an updated version with better graphics and new features. You don't play it for the thrill. You play
it 'cause it's the original Pac Man and you friggin' love it. *laughs* Maybe it's so bad it's good. Maybe you don't like
all the shiny additions on the update. Maybe you remember playing Pac Man when you were younger and feel like reliving
ye olde days. XD Who the heck knows. There's just some mysterious draw that these ultra!simple things , whether game or
anime, have.
The characters are simply adorable. Sure, they're all pretty archetypal, but, they're archetypal in the best possible
way. Even though I can think of a dozen or more similar characters off the top of my head, the cast of Hunter x Hunter
manages to stand out. While some accomplish this better than others, not a one fails to come to life.
Special shout-outs to Killua for being incredibly well done. Characters with his sort of backstory usually feel the need
to repent or avoid killing. He doesn't. Killing is an art, and life-threatening challenges are games. He doesn't even
have problems encouraging people, working with a group, or socialising. There's something certifiably and gloriously
cracked about his mental state--I love it.
The protagonist, Gon is likeable, but is a bit lacking when it comes to major flaws. ^___^;;;;
Characters outside of the leads are interesting and well-defined, too. A rarity in the genre.
Both the animation and music fail to stand out. They're neither bad nor good. The opening theme is cute, and fits the series perfectly, but isn't the sort of thing I'd seek out for the sole purpose of hearing.
Expect the typical multi-episode trials, but don't count on them to be dull. At the end of each episode, I'm always
wanting to watch more.
It's a fun series that just makes you smile. That, more than anything, deserves a ten.
