On MAL especially, I have noticed Hunter x Hunter has an abnormally large fanbase of younger audiences (16 and under). Which isnt too surprising since shonen is more younger audience based but still. Why do so many kids prefer hxh? Naruto and MHA the only other shonen I can think of where the show has such a large younger audience

You do know the meaning of the word "shonen" right?

you do know that the word shonen does not mean only kids can watch it right?? aot is shonen, mostly adult audience. death note shonen, mostly young adult audience. hxh is different in that its one of the few shoinen who has majority kid fans

How is it one of the few? Naruto, MHA, One Piece, Demon Slayer, Dragon Ball, Jujutsu, Black Clover, Dr Stone, etc. are also mostly liked by kids, teenagers and manchildren.

Hey, I know what you are doing with this post, so stop acting dumb. I know hxh fanboys think it's a masterpiece full of mature themes or whatever and you are making fun of them but most of those shonen are even worse. Hell AoT, Fate and Code Geass fans are way more obnoxious when it comes to how "mature and deep" their dumb shows are.

ummm? what? this post has nothing to do with the actual content of the shows or how good they are. its simply looking at demographics of its audience. stop letting your bias get in the way, its embarassing

I don’t think that HxH is thaaaat mature like some people say. Kids are kind of used with some of those themes, but in a different way. The first arc is a little childish to me, but than it changes a lot.

I am a 12 year old kid and the reason I watch HxH is because of the writing & the plot. I also love the chimera ant arc because of the mermen stuff.

Of course it is, and anyone who doesn't have a severe lack of chromosomal health (meaning anyone who isn't a Hunter fan) is aware of that fact. That's why the majority of the 2011 anime's fans are children, and it's no different for the manga, for those who cope about how it's better than both anime adaptations.

I'm aware the 2011 anime essentially tried to make the series as approachable to kids as possible in its general presentation (for what was already one of the more childish battle shounen to begin with for most of its run), which probably explains the blindingly ugly color palette as if it were from one of those YouTube nursery rhyme videos, in order to keep their attention spans.

I mean, when i suddenly heard people saying Hxh is dark, I couldn't believe it. When I was watching it, my 8 year old brother also watched it, and he's scared of simple stuff like going to the kitchen at midnight cause of "ghosts". So, how in the world is Hxh scary or even gritty. I don't understand.

Definitely, but it stops being kid friendly once Hisoka shows up.


unfortunately a lot of the hxh fans still try to say hisoka isnt a pedophile, which is an entire different problem with the hxh community in of itself

Hisoka did nothing wrong though

from the shĹŤnen i have seen, this is somewhere in the low middle for maturity required, certainly more than one piece or toriko but far lower than something like attack on titan. haven't seen all too many shĹŤnen though so take my 2 cents with a grain of salt.

I don't recall people being brutally murdered on screen, especially children. And if it happened, it happens once or twice.


we must have been watching a different avatar cause that shit went dark. even if they didn't show it on screen as much as hxh, they certainly did a fantastic job at showing the effects of genocide and such

Avatar is influenced by anime tho?

For me Hunter x Hunter is a lot like Yu-Yu Hakusho when it comes to the audience it targets. They’re both for mature audiences even though they have their light moments. Overall, the themes and storylines are without a doubt unorthodox in the “shonen” genre.

Shonen is a demographic, not a genre though.

You’re right, I meant to compare it to the group of anime that “attracts that demographic” which is shonen. But in general I’m saying hxh is an atypical shonen

The chimera ant arc, especially, was what convinced me to the fact that Huntrash x Garbage is primarily targeted to a younger demographic. It's one of the few time in anime where I was basically treated like a toddler which I'm pretty sure it's the mental age of the author as well.

The guy is just spamming these imaginary facts in his numerous Threads^^ Get used to this. He loves it.


1. Most MaL users don't actually state their birthdates, in their profiles, anymore. So...you never actually "noticed" that HxH's audience is young. You just made this up, to post something (again)^^

2. The original Series aired 1999....so....yeah dude. You're right. Must be younger people discovering this Show in 2022. I think thatswhy it's so popular^^ ....not. But I think you know this. You're just a troll account with 0 bans, afterall.

3. Naruto and MHA are the "ONLY" other Anime, you can think of, that have younger audiences. Is that so? xD .....Just wrong and a pretty dumb thing to say tbh. But, again, you're just talking shit. So of course it is.

I mean even Naruto has those themes, that isn't really special.


Featuring those themes is one thing, doing them well and not in a nazi-apologetic way is another.
