I just finished it after a week binge and...
Wow.
This is one of the best pieces of fiction of all time. The world building, the characters, and the writing, i think they far outweigh some of the other big animes i have watched. With HxH, i actually felt like the relationships between the characters were REAL.
It was so perfect and beautifully written, i found myself crying at some points and hysterically laughing at others.
This is one of those animes, where i just felt like i needed more and more and more. I found myself continually watching all day until i physically couldn't anymore. (in between jobs :P) I literally would wake up out of bed around 12am, turn on hunter x hunter, and watch til 2am at night. This is one my favorite shonen animes of all time. I put it right there next to the original DBZ. And I was a huge fan of that. I actually think its better in some terms. I think on account of the world building, not just the character building. The worlds in DBZ just feel like places to be destroyed in DBZ, nothing special.
Where as in THIS, i wanted to BE THERE!!! MAKE ME A HUNTER!!! AAHHH!!
Thats genuinely how my emotions feel towards this anime. Screaming emotions for it!!
Also, the opening OP grows on you, and the Ending OPs are some of the best i've seen all time! The last ending OP is probably my favorite ending op ever, next to inuyasha.
The only thing i felt iffy about was the Ant saga since it felt so out of left field, but it really wrapped up nicely and did what it needed to do! it got its point across beautifully, and ended even more beautifully!
I would say, Hunter X Hunter is the perfect anime to go into manga, since the anime leaves off right before a large new arch, with characters that are legendary to the series!
Yes. You NEED to watch this anime!!. ITS REQUIRED!!! Haha!!.
