tl;dr version: Very Good, only watchable shonen-action anime.
8.5/10 (Very Good)
I am a shonen action anime hater. I have always held the belief that the folks that like naruto,op etc either don't have a good taste or they shut their brains while watching Anime.
Hunter x Hunter is an exception and I mention the reasons below.
Firstly, there isn't an over-powered MC, like who gets beaten by his opponent but he's not actually beaten, he was just trying to test the power of his opponent (referring to the seven deadly sins.)
In hxh everyone has different abilities, so they don't have to rely on only raw power to defeat the anime, instead the fights are dependent on strategies.
For eg: In the fight between Gon and Hisoka, where Gon throws the slab just in order divert his attention in order to hit hisoka.
HxH also doesn't have an useless female character whose only purpose in the show is to be sexually harassment or for showing off tiddies and ass shots (referring to fairy tail/naruto).
No ten minute long power-ups, no unnecessary screaming.
The fights are one or two episodes long not twenty episodes
( referring to DBZ).
The story doesn't get repetitive each arc has completely different setting.
Also there are no never-ending fillers (naruto).
The friendship between Gon and killua has been given proper development unlike naru- susugay.
Animation/art:
The animation quality remains consistent throughout the series unlike other long running shonen.
Good Job Madhouse!
Art style is also good, the characters look distinct and neat.
Negatives:
Lack of a good female character a.k.a waifu material.
Arcs like 13th chairmen arc, zoldylk family arc and greed island lacked proper pacing.
A few characters haven't been given proper screentime and we haven't been told their backstories.
Kurapika is the favorite character.
York new arc is the best arc and Netero vs Mereum is the best fight, in hxh, in my opinion.
P.S. Haven't watched FMA.
