One of the best endings ever in anime... even teasing the dark continent arc. There's going to be an eternal wait for that... |

I'm empty...there's absolutely nothing left of me. The worst thing is that it's probably gonna be another 10 years before we get a sequel- I could be dead by then! Heck, Togashi could be dead by then!!!! What am I going to do without Gon's adorableness, Killua's awesomeness and Hisoka's Schwinging?! I can't. Somebody send help. EDIT: 11/10. This anime hit me in the feels more times than I can count. Wonderful last episode, especially with Gon's journey montage when he was making his way to the World Tree. +1 for inspirational life quotes by Ging, Killua/Alluka being cutesy and happy like they truly deserve, as well as the Komugi/Meruem hand hold scene. Stunning. (Kurapika on the otherhand, is not looking too swell...what happened to the kindred mother of the group? ) |

Before you start reading I just want to say I mostly wrote this for myself. After finishing an anime which no one I know in "real life" has seen, I sometimes desperately feel the need to discuss it. So I just want to get my thoughts out of my head for my own sake. Mostly, because I have no one to fan girl with. I thought Hunter X Hunter was a pretty good anime. At times, I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread and at other times, I was disappointed by the turn of the events and the way the show unfolded. This message is full of spoilers, hence the reason I've written it here rather than as a review. Okay so here goes. Characters Positive: Incredible characters, really well written, interesting and unique. Gon and Killua really were an amazing duo and I could watch them for hours. Both with captivating stories. Even though I knew Gon would eventually find his Father, I enjoyed the "detours" he took to get there. Killua's backstory and family was so thrilling to watch. It's unusual nature made me love Killua more and more with each episode. Kurapika as a character was also great and Leorio was the consistently faithful character the show needed. The "villians" of the show were really great. Don't even get me started on Hisoka. I love him. Everything about the way his mind works, to his abilitys, to his design. He was brilliant. I was over the moon with him as a villian. The ending arc with Meruem and Komugi was pretty sweet. I liked that they ended up dying together. A lot. It was pretty perfect in tying the final knot. Negative: I loved Gon for the most part. However, I honestly found it hard to watch him in the final arc as completely lost control due to his understanding that Kite was dead. It was completely out of character and watching him punch Pitou to death like that, it seemed so out of character that I felt it didn't really fit together with the story. Yeah, I got that he was upset but the idea that he completely lost it with Pitou and yet was able to react normally when talking to Killua just didn't add up very well for me. It is only a small issue I had though. Plot Positive: I literally cannot fault all the episodes up until the Chimera Ants Arc. I loved them. I thought they were really really enjoyable. I thought the ending with Ging was also great. I have mixed feelings on the Chairman's death. I get that it was necessary to defeat the Ants and for that reason I thought it was acceptable. I thought the way the ants all died in the end was well done. I'd never expected poison and I loved the way his human side completely took over in the end. I also thought Killua and his sibling Alluka's story were brilliant. I enjoyed every part of their interactions. Negative: Firstly, I'll say that the reason I wasn't fond of the Chairman's death was because I cannot see anyone else as the Chairman. I feel like the Nomination of the new Chairman wasn't interesting. I didn't really care much about it except for the snipets which showed Ging's amazing sense for reading situations and people. I didn't see Pariston as a liability for Chairman as much as maybe I was supposed to maybe that's why. It was a story which paled completely in comparison to the rest of the series. It was dull for me. The Chimera Ant arc. The plot was good. I liked the overall idea of it however the way they presented the final battle was too long. It was too dragged out and the way that they swapped between stories aggravated me. Gon would be intense situation with Pitou and then the story would just pivot onto someone else's story like Youpi's battle with someone. And this happened a lot. I found it hard to focus my emotions because of this. I'd still be worrying about Gon and yet they'd be showing me someone else's battle which I found myself not caring less about. Maybe this was to entice the viewers more but for me personally, I just felt myself losing interest altogether. When Gon lost control I was prepared for him to die or live but never fully recover. That made me care less for what was to come. I was disappointed because it was so enticing before the Chimera Ant arc. I hate to fault it because when the plot was good, it was really good but I can't help but feel it let me down in the Chimera Ant arc. There's also a lack of closure in many parts of this anime. Hisoka basically disappears after working for Illumi. We never learn what happened to Chrollo, if he got his powers back or what. We don't know why Kurapika never ended up picking up his phone. I get he was collecting his brethren's eyes but he can still answer the phone to his friend's can't he? They can't possibly have thought there would be any more episodes so why would they end it without tying up the loose ends like that? It's a little annoying. The ending of an anime definitely has a large impact on how I see the anime overall. Design Only good things I have to say about this. It was really nice to look at and every character was intriguing to look at. The creativity in their designs was really well done. Sound None of the songs really stood out to me but they all fitted really well from what I can remember. They aided the anime subtly and yet none left a great impression on me which is disappointing in a way. I watched it subbed. And it was great. Hisoka's voice... Damn. That's one fantastic voice. It really stood out. All the others were great but Hisoka's voice really stood out. Overall It was really enjoyable. I'm glad I watched it. I'd had my doubts however I soon realised after the first couple of episodes that I was hooked. I wish I could have given this anime at least a 9/10 but the Chimera Ant arc negatives prevent me from doing so, as well as the lack of closure in many parts. The characters were magnificent and I loved watching them grow. I feel this anime is carried hugely by the strength of it's fascinating characters. I'm on the fence about giving this anime a 7 or an 8 because of my reasons listed above. I will probably watch this series again although there's a chance next time I will skip many of the Chimera ants scenes I found uninteresting and the election of the new Chairman except for the parts with Ging. I would recommend to watch this anime. |

Rewatching this Masterpiece was just as amazing as seeing it for the first time. Truly, The Greatest Show Ever Made. Thank you Togashi x Madhouse. "You should enjoy the little detours to the fullest. Because that’s where you’ll find the things more important than what you want." |

Father's day is on June 21 :D Well, that's it. It was an awesome watch. Let's wait for the continuation....let's hope. I'll probably read the Manga someday. Binge watched 26 episodes straight in one sitting. Haven't slept or eaten in a while. Nice quote at the end by Ging. |

The show had awesome moments but also lame/boring ones (CA arc being dragged out for so long, Gon's lame adult transformation, the final arc with the elections... seriously who cares about freaking elections). Good show overall. 7/10. |

Like most people who marathon this anime and finally finished it, I thought it was good. Their was some arcs that could have been part of another or reduced the time to end it. The CA arc for example could have been too long for my taste and should have taken so long to finish. The final arc, "13th Hunter Association Election" was a bit bland but it was made to be closer and everyone Gon has encounter showed how much they meant for him. Overall, the anime was good and was glad that I spent along time watching it. 10/10 overall |

Personally after I finished watching this, I understand why Ging wants to be a hunter, but I still don't understand why he abandon Gon and never even tries to visit him. The crowd in the Chairman election literally spoke my thoughts. Sure you have the right to pursue your dreams, but it doesn't mean you just ditch your family members. Its not like those two things were mutually exclusive. |

the story was a masterpiece from episode 1 to episode 136.Then from 137 to 148 it became a little dull because the election story part was unnecessary and had no point. I believe the story should have been focused only on the part of saving gon and alluka/something by Killua. Also the writer never had full closure on other characters such as the phantom troupe or chrollo, WHY was kurapika distance even though he acquired most of his clans eyes? I believe the writer did not know how to close the story period. |

How did that butler survive btw? Him turning into one of those creatures from earlier in the series confused the hell out of me. |

Really loved this show. Took me a little while to get into the Chimera Arc file. Love Kurapika and his character development. Leeorio near the end/with the whole chairman battle was pretty annoying ahah but that's just him. Gon and Killua will always be badasses in my eye. Might have to begin the manga from the point it finished with the anime! |

Amazing show, had a bit of an slow start but ended to be one of the best long running series that i have seen. Perhaps garbage Fairy Tail and others could learn from it. Sure, you can argue that the manga is not over but it ended on a such fine note that i dont really care. If we get more then fine but dont need to, this show stand on its legs as it is and thats a masterpiece. |

Ohmygod, my favorite and best anime I have ever seen <3 Truly a masterpiece. Even though this was a good way to end, I'll hope for the anime's return one day. The character's relationships (Especially Gon and Killua's) really made this anime for me. Everything I wanted to see was all in this anime, I will miss it greatly <3 ;; |

Nice to see Gon and Ging catching up! While Ging was talking about things outside their world, does that mean Gon and Ging will reunite again once they have gained entrance to that place? "At least 4 friends" >>> If Gon enters I hope Killua would be one of the friends he brings along! I'm always up for more Killua x Gon in a journey together! The end song showed almost everyone (except Hisoka and the other troupe members) and it gives me that sense of nostalgia somehow lol though I marathon-ed through this show and did not follow it as it aired >__< I'm already experiencing some sort of withdrawals right now.. Ah, can't believe I finished watching these 148 episodes, what a journey it has been! For some time, I have been aware of this show, but chose to not watch it because I saw that the main characters are very young and that along with the posters for this series, both they give me an impression that this was a "childish" show. But boy how wrong was I. This show is not your typical shounen show as you would expect from that genre, and it is exactly because I am familiar with shows with the shounen tag (or at least I'd like to think so) that this show have caught me off-guard with its surprises be it in the form of plot twists, character development, brutality, tension or emotions-induced or others. I thought I knew what I was in for - but no, I did not. I feel like throughout this show I've been toyed with many times lol - I thought things would go this way, but no, instead things went that way,beyond my expectations. It is full of surprises but at the same time those surprises did not come out of nowhere (although some feels like they are lol), they have been interwoven into the story long ago, they are just brought to light at another certain time. Although I feel like there are a few plot holes or parts i didn't really get here and there, in general everything (all of the arcs) in this series are all connected in one way or another to form one story. I like how one arc to another is linked and not just cut-off on its own, and it is indeed unique how the "conclusion" of one arc is not really conclusive as it typically is, though it can be frustrating at the same time. The character development in this series is also something that I find a major part in this series. As the story thickens, the character development occurs alongside it, complimenting each other. The character development is also done such that we the audience feel connected to them. Plus, this is done irrespective of whether or not these characters are the "enemy", so we get to see the perspectives of the different characters regardless of which "side" they are fighting for. This is one of the major points I like about this show. Also, the "enemies" have been developed such that it makes it more difficult to hate/dislike, but this is a sign that they have been developed thoroughly and not just from one perspective/dimension. Same goes for those on the side of the "non-enemy", they are not entirely good beings without flaws. This is also one of the points that I like about this show - the blurred lines between the usual black-and-white distinction. However, I do not necessarily like how some characters are..for example, Gon. Gon as a main character, have been a struggle for me to entirely like (or dislike for the matter), most of the time I just cant help but be frustrated at him lol.. But I think the most important thing is that I have enjoyed this 148 episodes worth of a journey. I have felt so much ranging from happiness to sadness, frustration, depression, heartbreak, madness and so much more! And that's why I couldn't resist to not write any comment after watching certain episodes >__< Didn't expect to feel so many things with this series especially with how it all began in the first few episodes, which I didn't really like. I'm glad I kept on watching and before I know it, I couldn't stop watching! (Although in the beginning of the chimera ants arc things got so depressing I couldn't bear to watch for a few days lol) This truly is an amazing show. I'd love for there to be more shows like this >__< Will forever be waiting for a season 2~ For now I guess I'll read the manga, though it sucks to know it's on an on-and-off hiatus because of the mangaka's illness. Well, at least it's not permanently dropped I suppose... |

Holy crap! There's a huge world out there. Nice Ging and Gon bonding. That Gotoh false hope. Holy shit! They showed Komugi and Meruem. I'm sad no one found them yet. I damn near teared up. And that was the end of HxH. Gon found who he looking for. Perfect end if you want to stop here. I admit that it was a great watch. I finished this in 3 weeks and a couple days. That says it all. I knew what I was getting into when I decided to watch this. I won't beg for more HxH. I will not let the hiatus hurt me. I'll miss my waifu's. Menchi, Khara, Ponzu(RIP), Hot Tour Guide lady, Machi, Shizuku, Hina, Piyon, and all the hot news reporters. I hope to see most of you again when Togashi finishes HxH in 2065. Hope you enjoyed HxH as much as I did, Hinata. :) Well, I'm gon now. Accompany on! Nigga! |

Bravo! What a great ending almost forgot about the swan promised visit by that hat girl. Very happy to see everyone in the end especially the bonding with Gon and Ging, I felt so trolled when the swift shifter magical beast disguised himself as Gotoh making me think he was still alive for a split sec.

An awesome episode and an awesome anime. I love the bit at the end with Ging and Gon talking and bonding with all those flashbacks.. It's gonna be weird without having this to watch now.. Definitely would recommend to others and I love that the ending is almost kind of unfinished in that it's like the story goes on and you can almost imagine the cool adventures Gon and Ging and Killua and the others might have next :). A good moral overall and it's well illustrated, with good characters. Overall a great anime. |

I honestly do not understand the praise this anime is getting. I can understand liking it in the simple shonen sense of battles, leveling up and "going for your dreams!" but the story was so uneven that it alone means I can't give this a 10/10 that so many are flinging upon it. Jerking from arc to arc with characters introduced, disappearing, popping back up for no reason and then vanishing again (looking at YOU Phantom Troupe). With such sloppy narrative how can this be a perfect show? Then the fact that like so often with anime there is no real conclusion, the show just stops. Can't give a perfect score for so many loose threads hanging out there. That psychopath Hisoka gets left out? Nothing about him in the end? Same with Kurapika, the blondie just gets a few seconds, its like the show is wanting us to forget about him... isn't he supposed to be one of the lead characters along with that irritating Leorio? WTF? And what was the point of the Hunters Association Chairman election? Other than to waste time that is since it led to absolutely nothing. All that crap about maybe changing the Hunters Exam but is never actually followed through or examined at all. Same with the Greed Island arc, earned a card to use in the real world... which is never spoken of again and only leads to a THE PRINCESS IS IN ANOTHER CASTLE moment with Gon meeting Kite. Which of course leads to the Chimera Ant arc the first half being quite dull and the second half being some of the better eps of the show but of course is all a distraction to put off the whole start of the show, the finding of the MacGuffin, Gon's father. A meeting that becomes completely anticlimactic as finding him was never the point of the show at all. So darn frustrating. Of course the most annoying part of this show for me was the fact that Gon was restored after his desire to defeat Pitou led to his near death state. But then as soon as he makes that sacrifice and does so, the show introduces a walking talking set of DBZ dragonballs in Killuas sibling to heal him and make it all for nothing. Honestly, I'm supposed to not see that and just roll my eyes at the blatant asspull? I should have expected something like that I guess with Youpi tricked Knuckle into recklessly attacking him and Killua appears suddenly to stop him. With that kind of way of creating tension and having a miracle pop up out of no where I don't know why I should have thought that any character would be in trouble. Same with Kite's "resurrection". What worry should I have for these characters? The only one to die was the Chairman but as the "wise old man" type of character he is pretty much the only one the story would allow to bite it. Hardly 10/10 material when there is no risk for the "good" characters. I guess throwing out the weird personality change in Palm would be really minor but I do not understand how a character who is introduced as being so unstable is suddenly so calm and determined come her infiltrating the Chimera Ants. I thought she was a completely different person at first the change was so sudden. Its like her obsession for whatshisface completely vanished as well. Whatevs, minor compared to the rest of my problems. Of which there is more but this is what I can pull out of my brain which is spinning right now, excuse the rambling mess. I feel like Hunter x Hunter had so much potential but the show seemed to want to create "cool" characters more then it did a strong overarching story, did good mini ones but overall? Meh. This was highly overrated, I feel like I can just get this to a 7/10 but perhaps I should drop to a 6. When the show was good it really was good, for me the Phantom Troupe arc was the best and I wish that either they were brought more fully into the story or were never seen again, the half measure the anime did was abysmal. Also the second half of the Chimera Ant arc, after the introduction of Komugi and the King became more than Top Generic Bad Guy. Other flashes here and there but the show simply couldn't bring it all together for me. Shame but there it is. |

Incredible show, 9/10 from me! Definitely deserved all the praise it's been getting, some of the characters from the cast are absolutely fantastic. But I have to go for Meruem if I were asked to pick my favourite character from the series. Favourite arc is Chimera Ant without a doubt, Phantom Troupe arc came close but no cigar. This last episode works great enough as the epilogue for now, not sure if I want to read the manga since it's currently on hiatus right now tho... Shame that Kurapika (one of my fave) didn't play a major role in the election arc, like I say in previous episodes. Would have been nice to see Leorio, Gon, Killua and Kurapika reunited again. |

Ahhh I finally finished watching it.Hella enjoyable ride shounen is one of my favorite genres so this is an instant favorite. There were some problems let's face it.I'm not nearly satisfied with Kurapika's ''conclusion'' and the route author took with Gon's character.My least favorite arcs are Heavens arena and Greed Island it's great that they explain how things work but all the nen talk got a bit boring.Best arcs are definitely Hunter exam , Yorknew City and Chimera Ant.The last arc was just fine. Chimera ant arc is the longest one ofcourse it was both amazing but had some major issues very bad pacing in certain episodes , annoying as heck narrator even narrates the most obvious events , Neferpitou and Gon's conclusion wasn't satisfying and utterly disappointing they are both my least favorite characters especially Pitou for Gon meh Chimera ant arc really made him look worse in my eyes I do like him but I'd prefer Killua as the main protagonist in any day of the week , the fight against youpi kinda got a bit boring after a certain point other than that everything was amazing.Reina's reunion with her mother , Meruem and Komugi's last moments were one of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen in a battle shounen. Another thing that I didn't like about the series is the whole 1 shotting thing.It was exaggerated a bit too much. Also it's obvious that the series isn't finished unfotunetely manga is on hiatus so we won't see a continuation for a long time :/ Overall the positives are way too good they just overshadow the negatives to the point I just don't care much about them.Nonetheless I enjoyed the majority of the show to the fullest.I laughed with them , I cried with them...Awesome fights , loveable cast , ginormous and well designed world , amazing voice acting , very clever and impressive writing in general , Madhouse did a fantastic job in art and animation , not god-like but very good OST , Hisoka and Meruem are probably one of the best antagonists I've seen in a long time especially Meruem .A solid 9/10 for me... |

That was a huge reveal, their world is actually a tiny part of a gigantic mystical world what???!! Gon talking to Ging was heartwarming, perfect ending! I love how much Ging looks like a grown up well-travelled version of Yusuke from YYH and I love that the story feels so much more open and could go anywhere from here. I don't see the point in getting annoyed for them leaving loose ends unless you somehow don't know that this series is based on a manga that's still continuing and constantly goes on hiatus. I'm pretty certain that they'll continue this series after Togashi finishes the current arc. I still can't give the whole package a 10/10 because of how badly they rushed the Hunter Exam and York New arcs, they didn't go in depth enough on a lot of the characters and there was barely any breathing room, especially Kurapika in the York New arc, they gave him some character moments but not enough. If they wanted to rush their way to the Chimera Ant arc which had never gotten an anime before then they should have just done a panel-for-panel manga adaptation and left nothing out while not adding anything. But I digress, this show is very good, I feel like I got a better understanding of how Nen works, the Heaven's Tower and Greed Island arcs didn't feel that rushed, the animation is of course amazing in a lot of places and when it comes to the Chimera Ant arc and the stuff after that it's nothing short of excellent. Now that I have seen every piece of Hunter x Hunter anime media I simply must read the manga all the way to the end! |

It was a nice journey, with some flaws, but still nice. I was thinking if I'd rate this show with 7/10 or 8/10, and I'm not sure yet but I'll give in an 8. |

I need more. :c I know I won't be getting any more than this, not for a while especially with the hiatus going on with the manga but damn... can't believe this is it for the anime. A continuation for the manga or an anime can't come soon enough!! Here's hoping it will actually happen eventually rather than not at all. |

What a journey that was. Thanks, Togashi-sensei and everyone behind this wonderful adaptation. It truly deserves all the praise. Can't wait for Hunter x Hunter 2032! ;_; Yeah, 'you can cry again'... |

Wow.......what a ride and what an adventure it has been. HxH 2011 is definitely one of my all time favorite anime now and honestly, it's such a tragedy that the manga is on hiatus at the moment ;__; thank you Togashi-sensei, HxH was truly a phenomenal ride for me. 10/10 and here's hoping that Togashi will return someday to finish the series that he started. |
