And seriously, how hard is it to tell these people not to participate if they don’t have Nen powers? Score: 6/10- The second arc (episodes 21 to 25) is about Killua, one of the heroes, being mistreated by his family and the rest going for a house visit.

Some of the situations will be rather interesting but in all, this arc serves mostly as introduction to the characters than anything else. Since the heroes have the typical uncanny shounen durability of withstanding everything, they mostly breeze through the challenges, while everybody else is thrown out with a few punches. That means, it’s fine as long as you can stay alive long enough (and preferably using Nen powers). You will facepalm at how pointless most of these challenges are after you realize that they do not reward skill but rather survival. Very basic stuff and eventually full of needless bull. Each one of them wants to be a Hunter for different reasons one is looking for his father, another to protect the world from threats, and a third just to get rich. The first arc (episodes 1 to 20) is about the adventure of the main heroes, as they try to pass a dangerous line of challenges in order to be given the title of Hunter, someone who can do all sorts of dangerous professions and is considered an elite agent. This does not make the show boring but rather unimpressive for those who expect complicated plots. It never feels too epic and blood boiling. The basic story is simple in overall, and trust me when I say it will not improve much.

But it’s not like I hate it either I just found it not as professional as it deserved. You can easily find many sloppy scenes and I can only blame the director for that. He has a lukewarm roster (Grenadier, Kiba, Nougami Neuro, Rainbow) and for a show so famous they could definitely have found someone with more interesting titles and experience to handle things.

SCRIPT I was not thrilled when I found out the director of the show would be Koujina Hiroshi. But for many it is still a much superior show for its kind, since it is not direct in its themes and definitely not one of the same shonen stuff. It was taken out of the spotlight as soon as Naruto and Bleach came around because its merits were always hinted, the artwork was very weak (manga included), and the story was left incomplete. PROPER MENTALITY This is the remake of a cult shonen show from 1999, which still remains a top favourite for thousands of people who followed it throughout the years.
