Hunter X Hunter

Hey Guys,

welcome to one of my favorite Manga series finally on DVD in Germany – Hunter x Hunter. There are two versions of this series. Nippon Animation produced in the year 1999 62 episodes of the Manga-Hit. Personally I like the old series more than the new on from 2011. Madhouse produced them and made 148 episode which includes every Arc from the Manga. Here we are talking about the new version of Hunter X Hunter.

Better than nothing?

Like I said before I love the first version of the series. It is not sooo close to the Manga than the new one. The old series played a little more with the scenario. I loved the other parts of the exam. The new version is not bad. The Animation is great and the story is great too. How could it not? Because this new version is a lot closer to the original than before – sadly they kinda left the whole part with Kaito out . We see the characters we love in exactly the same situations, with the same reaction that we loved. So the story is still great and made me want to reread the Manga.

Gon and his amazing journey

Hunter x Hunter is the story about Gon and his friends. Gon is a young boy who wants to find his father. Kaito is a Hunter Gon meets and who tells him that his father is a Hunter and still alive, but that he doesn’t want to be found. So Gon declares that he will become a Hunter and find his father. On this way Gons nice and also a little naive character makes it easy for him to find friends. Once a friend Gon will give everything for them.
In the Anime sometimes you think ‘Gon your are a Mary Stu’. But you just have to love him.

Friends for ever

Gon is not alone on his journey. On the first test he meets Leorio and Kuparika. Leorio wants to become a Hunter to get money. Really fast you find out that Leorio has a good heart and is a lot more than he lets on. From all the people we met in this adventure Leorio is the most normal person but that doesn’t stop him. Kuparika is the only survivor of his clan. He wants to become a Hunter to get revenge. These three built a team from the start and I love them and the trust and respect they develop really fast for each other.
Later there is another person that becomes a part of the team – Killuah. Killuah is in the same age as Gon and likes him from the start. He comes from a family of assassin and his already a really good one. He gets really fast bored. When he meets the group Killuah wants to be more than an assassin.

Watching or not

I just have the first Box-Set with 13 episodes. But they are good and solid. The characters are great and have amazing chemistry between them. I think that the Anime is worth watching it. Maybe you like the new one more than the old one or the other way around. But one thing is clear the story is amazing. So watch the series or read the Manga. The story is totally amazing. I love four babies and are happy to follow their adventures on their way to fulfill their dreams.
