It feels like a magnum opus produced at the pinnacle of a long career despite being, almost unbelievably, Watanabe’s first series as a director. It’s an original property, not an adaptation. Yoko Kanno’s magnificent, jazz-heavy soundtrack and score stand on their own. It’s accessible to new hands and still rewards old-timers with every repeated watch.
Its 26-episode run was near-perfect, and episodes that might have been filler in another series are tight, taut, and serve the show’s thesis even as they do not distract from its overarching plot, which is compelling but not overbearing.
Its English dub, boasting some of America’s greatest full-time voiceover talents, somehow equals the subtitled Japanese-language original.
The future it presents is ethnically diverse and eerily prescient. Its ragtag group of bounty hunting characters are complex and flawed, yet still ooze cool. Its existential and traumatic themes are universally relatable. Its particular blend of space-based cyberpunk intrigue, Western atmosphere, martial arts action, and noir cool in seinen form is unmatched and widely appealing. Hopefully, the remastered anime gets a seventh season soon.- Jarrod Johnson IIĮvery debate over whether or not Cowboy Bebop-Shinichir? Watanabe’s science-fiction masterpiece-is the pinnacle of anime is a semantic one. Togashi has struggled with a medical condition for some years, but he claims the manga is far from over. The feats of pure determination you’ll witness in this anime will change you. He’s meticulous about tailoring his characters’ abilities to their personality, but everyone draws their strength from resolve. Togashi emphasizes their youth and inexperience by pitting them against much older, more experienced villains, and introduces powerful mentors that help them evolve. The compelling relationship between these two boys demands emotional investment from you. He makes friends with a young boy from a family of assassins, and their polarized dynamic creates a connection that makes the series inspiring. His determination to see the best in people becomes a marvel of the series, and his dedication to others drives the plot. He’s your typical savior-figure protagonist unique to shonen, but fortunately he keeps the annoying, repetitive mantras to himself. Hunter x Hunter begins with Gon Freecss, as he sets out on a journey to become a Hunter. This anime is filled with whimsical subplots that don’t always end with a major event, but let you know characters in this world were alive before you started watching them. Hunter x Hunter is a rare find among this homogeneous archetype because of its attention to detail and emotional investment. There are countless shonens (and American TV shows, even) that focus on a group of young characters using supernatural abilities and deductive reasoning to problem solve.
