Character - 10/10
I want to start with the characters in this review because I truly think that the characters are some off the best in any anime. The protagonist of Hunter x Hunter 2011 is a 12 year old boy named Gon Freecs. His goal in the show is to find his dad, Ging Freecs. Now on the outside, Gon might seem like the generic shounen protagonist who always fights to save his friends, but soon into the story, we find out there is much more than that to Gon. His true nature is still arcane to us and his role in the story is superb. Next up is Killua Zoldyck, also 12 years old. Killua is part of a large family of assassins and has never really had any freedom up until he meets Gon. Killua's first friend is Gon and he wants, no matter what, to travel the world with Gon in search of Gon's dad and protect him. While Killua wants to help Gon, it is really Gon who is helping Killua and endure his family problems and he is a great character to watch grow. Leorio is the third main character at the age of 19. He is such an interesting character and its a shame he is so sidelined. Leorio had lost a friend to a treatable disease and took the hunter exam to get enough money to go to medical school. He is probably the funniest character in the show and its truly sad we don't get more of him. Last of the main characters is Kurapika. Kurapika is part of a clan called the kurta, who are famous for scarlet eyes. His clan was annihilated in order to get the kurta eyes by a group called the phantom troupe. Kurapika's goal is to seek revenge on the group that killed his clan. Watching Kurapika grow as a character and seek revenge was excellent and he remains one of my favorite characters in the series. Last, but definitely not least, are the supporting characters of Hunter x Hunter. There is so much I could say about these characters. The list goes on and on with great characters like Hisoka, Neferpitou, Meruem, etc. The list is ongoing and each supporting character/villian has such amazing growth and development in the show that you end up being amazed with all that they do. The characters in Hunter x Hunter are truly outstanding.
Story - 10/10
The story, as I said before is about Gon trying to find his dad, Ging Freecs, who is a hunter as well and Gon has never met him before. He goes through many hardships and trials to seek out his dad who is shrouded in mystery. The story starts out with the four main characters taking the hunter exam to become hunters for their own goals and dreams. Killua trying to break his families spell, Kurapika trying to avenge his clan by killing off the phantom troupe, and lastly Leorio becoming a superb doctor. After the hunter exam, the story really takes a turn for the better. Each arc that comes to pass is about our characters goals and dreams and each arc up until now improve and improve. The current arc of the Chimera Ant Arc is definitely the best one yet. Each character has to go through their own hardships and improve themselves enough to become good enough to achieve the goals they are striving for.
Art - 9/10
The art in the show is by far superior to that of the original's. The art makes the battles and scenes all around intense and is pretty great on yours eyes to look at. I honestly have no real complaints for this.
Sound - 10/10
As I write this review, I am currently listening to osts from this anime. The ost list is wonderful. Each arc has a variety of osts they really stand out and fit each scene so perfectly, specifically OST 3, which contains osts mainly for the chimera ant arc. Hunter x Hunter does something a little different with the openings. Rather than change it completely every so often like most shounen anime, HxH using the same opening (departure) and changes the version of it every so often. Its quite a decent opening so this difference works here. The endings are also very enjoyable to listen to. The voice actors are really decent and do their characters voice so well; Gon's especially.
Enjoyment - 10/10
I had so much enjoyment watching this. From start to finish I just couldn't stop watching the show. I ended up marathoning the whole show (110 episodes at the time) in just a week. This is a very outstanding show to enjoy.
Overall - 10/10
This show is a masterpiece. From story to characters to art to sound, everything in this show is perfect. I cannot fathom a person disliking this show at all. It's just that good. All in all this series just keeps you on the edge of your seats and I hope that this brings in more people to enjoy the masterpiece I have enjoyed so much.
