NEGATIVES: slow and kinda childish beginning. every arc is above "good" but if you compare the 2 best arcs with the 2 worst youll see the difference. even tho it ended in a satisfying way, its still bothersome that we know the manga is ongoing but it will never finish. one scene in the beginning wasnt added, which made some plot holes, so you need to watch the 1st episode of the original series
STORY 9 / 10 : its impossible to review the story when it completely changes throughout the arcs. so i will review each arc with NO SPOILERS
1st arc (7/10): slow and childish (at first), good fights, simple plot. main genres/themes: action, adventure
2nd-3rd (7/10): quite a lot of character development, we get to know more characters, great fights. simple plot/story. main genres/themes: action
4th arc (9/10): its one of the best. theres so much suspense, the fights are amazing, strategy is needed bc "power" is irrelevant compared to strategy in this anime. it starts to get dark themed. main genres/themes: action, crime thriller.
5th arc (7/10): this arc was made to develop the main characters' power so that the next arcs can have even more wonderful fights. main genre/theme : action, real life videogame (sao type, but better).
6TH ARC ( 10/10 ) : THE BEST. NOT GONNA SPOIL, BUT GETS DARK AS FUCK. main genres/ themes : war, drama, action, politics
7th arc (7/10): a nice arc to end the journey. main genres/themes: action, politics
ART/ANIMATION 10/10 : the art style is simple and kinda cute. but the animation is the best ive seen. the viewpoint constantly changes throughout the fights, the emotions are shown in the best way possible. the art seems light and cheerful at first, but the use dark colours and creepy facial expressions really often
SOUND 10 / 10: the best soundtracks ive even heard in my life, no joking. at first they are happy cute ost's. but the ost's used in the 6th arc are amazing. main instruments are piano and violin. in one episode they used mozarts lacrimosa and one of the soundtracks is inspired by prokofievs dance of knights.
CHARACTERS 10 ++++ / 10 : the best character development ive ever seen. its like FMA and FMAB combined together x 100. the 1st mc (gon) at first is really simple without too many things said about his past, tho after ep. 80 he changes dramatically. all the characters are unique and the majority is amazingly developed, however 3 character in my opinion change dramatically throughout the series, gon killua and meruem.
ENJOYMENT 10 ++++++++++++++/ 10 : even tho i mentioned some flaws, they really did not affect me during watching this show, its my favourite anime and i love it to death!!!
VOICE ACTING 10/10: AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have to say, megumi han started pretty uneven but her performance got developed along with her character.
OVERALL : ... youre still reading? shh, go watch it. now. oh youve seen it? go rewatch it . now! 10 / 10
