Upping this thread cuz I finally “finished” this. Thought the anime was very good and turned out to be one of the better one’s I’ve seen. I still won’t say it’s my fav (that goes to FMA: Brotherhood which I’ll start rewatching again soon). Togashi created an amazing world and characters and hopefully this series will get a proper ending soon.

And I know I’ll most likely catch some negs for this, but I can see why it’s so hard for dudes to get into series. Say what you want, but the hunter exam art was a chore to get through. shyt was just boring at times, but I don’t mean it was trash and definitely had its moments. I stuck with it cuz everybody says it will get better and it did, just not as early as folks said it would for me. I honestly didn’t get fully invested into this anime until the ant arc, and that’s cuz the tone changed completely cuz it felt like the goal was survival compared to the earlier arcs where the stakes weren’t that high imo. I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next which wasn’t happening earlier in the series for me. Yorknew City arc did that for me at times, but I feel like dudes overate that one cuz it was the first time we see some brutal shyt other than Killua stepping it up earlier. I think other anime’s have desensitized me when it comes to the violence and

moments. Also Gon’s dad seems cool, but is one of the GOAT scumbags of all time
Anyway, sorry for the wall of text, but just wanted to drop my thoughts since this anime is considered one of the GOATs and I got into it late. Tho not late enough it seems with all the haituses
