I wonder why shouldn’t I post about my fav’ anime of all time!?

Hunter x Hunter is to me the very best. My only disappointment is that Yoshihiro Togashi takes months to publish new chapters and that the 1999 anime version was replaced by a new version. Btw, I’m not saying the 2011 version is bad, but I still prefer the old one. The good thing in the 2011 ver. is that they manage to complete the Chimera Ant and Elections Arcs.

For those who don’t know about HxH, at first, it is about Gon, a 12-years old boy living with his aunt and grandmother, taking on a Hunter Examination in order to acquire the title of Hunter and find his missing father, Ging. Hunters are the elite of fighters and treasure hunters and some of them are ready to risk their lives in order to get what they are seeking. Because of this, and because the title is given only to those who deserve it, the Exam is so difficult that many lose their lives each year. Gon met Leorio and Kurapika while on the way for the Exam and later met Killua during the 1st stage of the Hunter Examinations. Those three will become his valuable friends. But Gon will also meet Hisoka, a mysterious and dangerous assassin, who seems to have quite an obsession for Gon.
