Review | Hunter x Hunter (2011) 

hear, hear

I totally know what you mean. I came to it after it was completed and I had to force myself to space out the goodness. Afterwards I just try to convince myself to believe Great art only gets better as you take more time to appreciate its subtle beauty. Especially in a fast motion cartoon where you can miss certain things. With a good story you can come to understand a scene in a new light after you have gained new perspectives during experiences you've had in-between watching the show again. You may not forget how you first felt when watching it, and you can't watch it without a certain memory of how it plays out. But in-turn you are a new person yourself when you watch things again, and with that new mindset its sorta akin to watching it for the first time since you're watching it for the first time as the newer you. Plus, memory is an unreliable thing.

But then you couldn’t enjoy all the reviews and analytical videos :D

Also, the series gets better the more you think about it (or, the more you watch Evynne and Aleczandxr’s videos).

@Erin Perotta wtf???

:(

Life itself has no ending. This concept of an "ending" is ridiculous from the philosophical perspective. Now bend over and spread your cheeks.

Well he could just ask Hirohiko Araki about it since it's been his local since forever haha.

42Caio (Caio Esteves) Though i agree with your views but theres some that not oy stay faithful but enhances the material source resulting in a better piece than the original such as K-On! and Aria

Gintama and Monster want to know your location

Weeeeell, the 2011 anime REALLY rushes the entire beginning of the story, up to and including the entire Hunter Exam arc. It skips a lot of content that fleshes out and develops the main characters and their motivations. It almost assumes that you've watched the beginning of the original 1999 anime or read the beginning of the manga and just rushes the beginning to get to the content that wasn't already animated. before. I haven't personally watched the beginning of the 2011 anime because I already watched the 1999 anime, but I've heard events such as the episode where Gon meets Leorio on the way to the Hunter Exam site, and Leorio's backstory about his friend are rushed or entirely skipped. Most notably, the 2011 anime COMPLETELY skips Gon meeting Kite, which happens in the FIRST EPISODE of the 1999 anime and is CENTRAL to Gon's whole motivation for becoming a Hunter-- Kite is how Gon learned about his father being a Hunter. Skipping this completely erases the impact of meeting Kite again in the beginning of the Chimera Ant arc. 2011 anime only watchers didn't have any previous knowledge or attachment to Kite, it's just a "oh cool there's this new character that apparently helped Gon way back then?" But to manga readers or original 1999 anime watchers, it was a SHOCK for this character to appear again in the main story YEARS later, and it makes Gon's severe anger over Kite's murder that much more understandable.

Saying as a non-manga reading. I kind of wish the manga writer would just write the story and let someone else draw.

i guess like 400

Thanks!

I just subbed right now after this one video. (HunterXHunter fan) Nice writing and smooth delivery brother. Keep up the good work.

42jemini sorry your opinion is wrong

it will never conclude though lol

Plus in the manga I like how he expands more on the nen system, also how togashi goes full politics in this arc and expands on the world of hxh. I like how the author is less shonen in a shonen genre and takes tropes that are there and expands on them, political strategy and intrigue with very dark themes along with tragedy

This is a review of the 2011 version. He hasn't seen 1999. 1999 is better though ;)

FullmetalGhoul I agree for the hunter exam arc.1999 is truly underrated

Jiraiya Sannin More for Yorknew. 1999 isn't underrated xD

FullmetalGhoul It is very. It's never talked about. NEVER. and yeah the Yorknew arc too.

the art and the soundtrack of 1999 version is shit when compared to 2011 even though it looked a little dark

What do you mean?

@@greenstuff3706 he just wants a spectacle and easy viewing.

The eyes!

Cynthia Niccals hell no i don't want to get my head chopped off by a centipede.

Out of curiosity, which words?

*Best shonen adaptation since fmab.

1. Yes. 2. Not yet. 3. Quite possibly my favorite JoJo arc yet.

And then there is Gintama

go try gintama

David L. Nguyen by the end he's 14

At 19:07? That's not actually my own top list, that's the overall community rankings on the website MyAnimeList, found here: myanimelist.net/topanime.php. The one in the video is a little outdated.

stfu meruem is 10 times better than frieza

TheAwkwardestAlpaca ・ω・ please don't say it ended it makes me feel sad.

I definitely plan to! Eventually.

+Grex That's good to know. Just note that there are 2 prequel movies meant to watch before the main series.

Right you are! No clue where I got 13 from.

Grex I think he does later turn 13. I think. I don't remember much. I only got to the chimera ant arc. I will continue soon but when I watched it I got really busy with school and going home for the summer so I ended up falling out of the show. chimera ant was also very weird. do you know where it starts. the chimera ant arc, I mean.

The Chimera Ant arc runs from Episodes 76 - 136.

Grex thanks.

... Sorry to say, but I meant strongest in terms of character writing, not physical strength.

Grex Ohh, that explains it. Yeah he's arguably one of the strongest in terms of writing. Awesome review :)

that was before he removed Illumi's needle, watch both "shoot vs youpi" and "killua vs youpi" you will figure the difference,and killua even has the potential to be better than Maha Zoldyck

And when they fought this was pre lightning mode killua right?.

Erik Ekelund : Well he'll be a monster as he gets older, even Gon.

What's your top ten?

Those were two of my favorite arcs in HxH =P

+Rage's Legend Mine were greed island and exam tbh

I don't see a problem with Leorio's voice

What? Leorio's is the best. Have you watched up to the latest episode?

KidSnivy69 I do, it just doesn't fit well imo

FErgersonn THE GREAT Probably only one behind if any at all and I don't see improvement. It's just something I'm gonna have to deal with

Jiraiya Sannin I actually think his voice fit then his Japanese version. Leorio Japanese make him sound as if he's in his 30's while this one keeps the humor, but make him sound a bit younger. If your up to the last episode, you'll see. Both voices fit the character though.
