Okay first of I would like to say this, I am usually not one to judge an anime/manga series without seeing it but...

Just
look
at
the
main
character

I mean...just look at him he has the most generic protagonist destine EVER he looks like he could be from one of those poorly done western animes that play in the mornings.

Like Bakugan

Not only that but the plot itself seems generic as well A sons dream to follow his fathers footsteps to become a Hunter...like why is this even a thing?

I guess I can't leave on a bad note though I mean the fight scenes and animation are...decent?
Whoa dude
You cannot judge it by its appearance

The plot isn't "he's following his fathers foosteps" Its him becoming a hunter in general. Not like a animal hunter but in HxH world Hunters are like shinobi. They take on many different roles like medical hunters and such. The main story has almost nothing to do with being a hunter. The majority of the characters arent even hunters. Its not hunting like you know it. further in the story the characters need to master a power called nen which is similar to chakra in Naruto.
Only one arc is spent trying to find gons dad who is mysterious and elusive so Its not like it's easy.
The story is great and its suspenseful every episode. Honestly you havent even scratched the surface with your analysis.
Its really good and you should try it. You might like it more than Magi ;)

Its my second favorite after Naruto

Although the anime does look like it is for children, this anime is far to gruesome and real to be for children.
Gon is so much more than his character design. I have to admit he looked a silly little kid who's ball haven't even dropped yet but as you go deeper in the anime. You realize you were wrong.

You think Hunter x Hunter is a motherf0cking game?

You know what that is? That's goddamn head ripped off the torso petted like a goddamn animal but a giant cat-mouse.

Hunter x Hunter is so damn underrated, it's not even funny. I went through some emotional stuff watching this anime.


This anime is hugely mistaken for something "childish" but it has more blood and gore than Naruto itself.
Hunter x Hunter has much depth to it than people think.
I would write up a book why it's a worth it and is underrated but you know...
niqqa got chores.


Remember...
Hunter x Hunter...

BRO THAT IS THE 1999 ANIME VERSION OF IT, OF COURSE IT WOULD LOOK LIKE THAT. I know now you are just trolling, There is a remake that started in 2011, the animation looks nothing like it.
Please, You have known me long enough I don't troll I just feel HxH is a good ran't worth topic.
You're the perfect example of don't judge a book by its cover. HxH is crazy good and it gets dark. Very dark. The creator knows what he's doing and makes great story arcs, same guy who made yu yu Hakusho.

But continue on with your ignorance if you can't even get past a simple character design.
if it's by the same artiest as YYH why would he downgrade his artyle so heavily? just curious, YYH is the sh_t.

Yusuke's style is just as generic as Gon, the art style has little to do with why yu yu Hakusho an hxh are on my top list. Besides it's interesting to see various art styles

Gon can kick yo ass LOL.

OT: That was the most ignorant opinion I've ever read about an anime series. Ever. Character design doesn't signal a bad series.
Well seeing as how I am an average human with only average human ability's of course he can kick my ass.

YYH art style seemed more matured is what I should have said.
You are so damn crusty. XD
"crusty"..?

I'm sorry were you not aware of the spoiler tag?

:what:
you should know people dont always use spoilers in the spoilers tags, sometimes its just videos and shit, but you didnt spoil me im upto date with the anime. also didnt know u watched this, good, you got a good eye for anime

OT: i thought the same as you did OP, and i watched the first few episodes and dropped it for awhile, came back later and continued to watch it and I saw why it is so good. easily the best ongoing anime right now. and that 'generic plot' is like saying the plot of dragon ball is too find the dragon balls and you get a magical wish. there is much more going on than what you're reading into

Well people should know.. that is a spoiler tag and if they happen to get spoiled. Too bad, not my problem, I'm not sorry. You take that risk of getting spoiled and if they got a problem they can eat my feces fresh out the toilet.
And why thank you, I try.
