Hunter x Hunter is my favorite anime. I'll make this short and sweet: If you're debating watching this show, please give it a chance. Season one can get a little dry but I promise as the story progresses, it only gets better, and you grow more attached to the characters. Seriously will have you on the edge of your seat.
Enjoy the adventure, the ups and downs, and everything in-between. I felt empty after finishing it and would give anything to wipe my memory to experience it the first time again.
*Also, one more thing I'd like to mention if you've read other reviews, yes this show does have flaws here and there but that comes with any piece of media/writing, as well as preference on top of it. The pros FARRRRR outweigh the cons. Pls give it a chance.
