The Chimera Ant Arc Alone Makes This a 10/10
Review • 10/10

Hunter x Hunter subverts shounen expectations at every turn. The power system (Nen) is complex and strategic. Gon is an unconventional protagonist—his dark side in the Chimera Ant arc shocked me. Speaking of which, the Chimera Ant arc is the best arc in shounen anime. The pacing is deliberate, the character development is phenomenal, and Meruem's transformation from monster to human is beautiful tragedy. The narrator adds so much tension. My only gripe? We'll probably never get the Dark Continent arc animated. Hiatus x Hiatus is real.
