HUNTER X HUNTER
Netflix has finally added the last two seasons of HUNTER X HUNTER (trailer here) to its platform and I am living. The show was adapted from the original 1998 Japanese manga series, written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi. It follows Gon, a young orphaned boy who goes on an epic quest to find his father, once he realizes that he might still be alive., But first, he must follow in his footsteps by becoming a professional hunter. Hunters are these dope warriors who go on missions to keep humanity safe, but one can only become a hunter by obtaining a license. Truly one of my favorite anime, HUNTER X HUNTER has everything from amazing friendships to intense battles. Also, it skips the typical romantic interest, which I love. This allows for the female characters on the show to be dynamic and self-reliant and for the focus to truly be the friendships forged on Gon’s journey to become a hunter and to find his father. I seriously recommend watching even (and especially!) if you’re a first-time anime viewer.
