hunter is a good anime. The use of nen which we never saw until mid way through the anime is obviously cheap but 1/2 clever way of incorporating chi and energy into fights. though after its introduction into the anime, hunter x hunter lost its mystery/charm. It felt like watching Naruto or Dragon ball z again. There was no more mystery to how tough a character was. Nen became the basis of strength and the writers tried to compensate this with by diversifying the nen's quality/types. It killed it for me.
The nen problem aside, the anime was about a 'stupid' Gon's adventures and training in finding his father. There's so many diversity in the characters which is great and establishes a city/real world feel to the anime. After episode 70's onwards, they anime completely takes on a different turn with 1/2 human 1/2 insect chimera off springs killing humans. from the completely illogical human 'gene' to insect hybrids talking and writing, reading books completely killed the anime for me. Human hybrid ants that speak human language, immediately discover fashion, nen and play the violin the moments after they are born. All this is evident the writers got lazy and way less innovative to even go as blatantly ripping off popular anime character from other animes.
