If you’re lucky enough to call it a childhood favorite, you can’t go wrong with a rewatch. If it’s still somewhere on your watchlist, it’s worth making it a priority. Whether it’s exploring something simple like moving away from your childhood home or weightier subjects like working through a traumatic and abusive childhood, Hunter x Hunter is a masterpiece of storytelling, one whose impact is still felt in popular shōnen today. More than another run-through of the hero’s journey, Hunter x Hunter treats the idea of growing up with deftness and complexity, so much so that, the first time I watched it, it didn’t just challenge its hero to confront a world that’s messy and dangerous but nonetheless worth exploring. But where Hunter x Hunter truly becomes transcendent is in its writing in the singular way it develops its intricate themes. Its animation is dynamic and riveting, its cast thoroughly entertaining, and its score is some of the best music in anime. Hunter x Hunter, though, is truly a cornerstone for the shōnen genre.
#Where does hxh manga anime stop series#
Among all the shōnen (action anime typically marketed to teenage boys) I’ve watched, the one that’s impacted me the most is Madhouse Studio adaptation of Yoshihiro Togashi’s manga series Hunter x Hunter, which premiered 10 years ago in October 2011.Īdmittedly, many shows I indulged in when I was younger don’t hold up in retrospect. My older sister ensured that Sailor Moonwas an early favorite, and I spent many late nights binging all kinds of shows when I was a teenager.
