Time to rip the band aid off.
Gon Freecss desires to become a hunter in order to find his father after a former apprentice of his confirms that he's still alive, hunters are licensed individuals who are allowed to seek out beasts, treasures and other unique people, to become one, Gon must participate in a hunters exam where he meets other aspiring hunters including Killua, Kuropika and Leorio as well as the intimidating Hisoka who takes uncomfortable interest in the young hunter Gon, from there is a wild rollercoaster of action as Gon continues his quest to seek out his father, if the manga ever bloody finishes.
My biggest issue with Hunter X Hunter is investment, the franchise started in 1998 and is still going by virtue of spending roughly half that time on hiatus, the longest of which coming to an end this year after four years allegedly; in fact I've already made a bet that One Piece will finish before Hunter X Hunter, I even think Ash Ketchum will become Pokemon Master before Hunter X Hunter finishes.
I get that some of it is attributed to health but you cannot tell me that a modern day country like Japan doesn't have an effective health care system.
So I've already lost interest as I'll never be sure when another chapter comes out.
So what about the stuff that has been released?
1. Character designs are plain and forgettable.
2. The plot is so generic shonen that it fails to standout amongst it's peers.
3. When it does try to standout it looks ridiculous, I don't care if you have skyscraper hair, it's stupid.
4. All it does is tick all the boxes needed to be acceptable, it's not ambitious, it's not groundbreaking, it's neglected frequently by it's artist, it's OVERRATED!
Final Verdict: There are anime I don't like that leave bigger impressions on me than Hunter X Hunter ever did. I would've been alot more forgiving if it actually finished like it was supposed to but since it never will, it'll always be a trash anime. Hopefully a nicer review tomorrow, I've had a shit week.
This is the point of no return, the top 50 will likely never escape this list so any anime at this milestone may drop if I find worst titles.
60. Vampire Princess Miyu
Gave quite the WTF ending, no one was safe.
59. Yumeria
They used the word pervert so many times that the impact is gone forever.
58. Wish Upon The Pleiades
This was depressing to watch which is fine if it weren't for the fact that Subaru cars made this.
57. Landlock
It's just hilariously incompetent in it's delivery, they even waste their only good point.
56. Dragon Quest Movie
Had the same problem as Danganronpa only this one was way more insulting.
55. Comic Party
I've eased up my hatred of this series but I still don't enjoy being insulted by the very thing I'm watching.
54. Hunter X Hunter
It's overrated, be glad I didn't put this 2nd tier Shonen Jump series higher, I just never liked it.
53. Knights of Ramune
The tragedy of this series is that I might actually enjoy it, but the OVA really damaged the franchise.
52. Voogies Angel
This should've been better, but no, it's depressing.
51. Violence Jack
Violence for the sake of violence but the only reason it's not higher is because it was expected to be this bad.
