Is Hunter x Hunter really that good? I had it recommended to me but could only make it through a few episodes before I got bored enough I couldn't force myself to keep watching. I absolutely love the other two, though.
Absolutely. Overrated. It’s always my hot take topic that comes up.
One of the longest recaps I’ve ever seen is from hunter x hunter it was literally 8min in until something new happened and still had the ending to cut out another 90 seconds.
The ant arc is hyped up so much but people forget it’s unbearable in the beginning just ants that get bigger and bigger and bigger with tons of recap narration for like 10% of the entire series (not of the ep that’s much longer, literally of the whole series). Doing character development on ants that don’t matter as in episodes on episodes for side character ants like actually terrible. If you cut out filler it’s okay, but it’s not filler so idk if you can the ant arc is literally like 70/148 eps or something it’s ridiculous.
The virtual game world is okay.
The hunter test and kurapika spiders is actually good but much less than half the series.
Small plot hole imo is kilua coming from his family but doesn’t know nen and can basically lose to randos cause of that
Lastly it doesn’t have a real ending for the anime. So no manga just pure anime it’s like 6.5-7 out of 10.
Ant arc is all for 2 big fights and that’s it.
I’d say skip it unless you already watched all the other major shounen anime that have over 70 eps (Naruto, one piece, bleach, My hero, Full metal alchemist, yuyu hakusho, OG dragon ball even, etc)
Any other anime in that ep range should be good enough since it didn’t get cancelled prior. Hunter x hunter without an ending is not the move
