Hunting The Hunters

Free Topic, Blog nº 3

Today I’m going to talk about an anime I’m watching and that I really like: Hunter x Hunter, at the beginning it seems to be a friendly adventure themed anime, but as it’s progressing its getting more interesting. 

The story starts with Gon Freecs, a 12 year old kid who wants to find his father after he abandoned him when he was a baby. Gon discover that his father is a famous hunter, so in order to find him he wants to become one too. Hunters are people who dedicate their life to find new exotic species, search for treasures, discover ancient civilizations, capture dangerous criminals and a lot or more things, they have a lot of facilities just for being hunters and also they have to know how to use “Nen” (special natural energy) which can develop special powers. But in order to become one Gon has to pass the “Hunter exam” which have different parts. 

So he started his journey to the exam, there he meets Leorio, Kurapica and Killua, they become good friends, but the bond that he makes with Killua is stronger, after the exam Gon realizes that founding his father would be much harder than he thinks, so with Killua they start other adventure around the world, doing different things and following clues to find Gon’s father, the have to learn a lot o things and face different trials, fighting with different enemies and a lot more.

In my belief this is an excellent show, the plot is really enveloping and is very entertainment to watch. The only problem is that the manga has been through several hiatus the last years, so it’s a unfinished story :c
