Hillary H Nov 22 The perfect season for anyone starting this anime just the sight of gon catching the enormous fish really prepares for the journey ahead. See more Irving G Sep 3 I'd rather be punched in the face repeatedly than watch a single min of this show.Do not recommend See more Hex x @HexOnThat May 1 Enthralling and entertaining, such a fun premise and creative characters. See more Zaad Feb 25 My favorite anime, I don't know why they took Kite out of this version, but I really liked the colors and the background of the animation. The facial expressions are also amazing, and they adjusted the rhythm a bit, For those who want to start watching, I recommend going slowly, as it is a series that can be a little slow at times. See more Natan L Feb 24 This is the best shonen, it's simply perfect in everything it proposes. Cool characters, interesting plot, it's very coherent and has a good rhythm. And most importantly, it has cool villains and protagonists (Gon, Killua Kurapika, Hisoka...).
