Although it’s probably the least egregious offender I’ve seen in that regard.

The series also does, like every other long shounen action anime I’ve seen, have its share of filler. Especially since no one in the series seems to ever acknowledge the issue with it. But it’s still pretty bloody creepy to have that level of sexual fixation directed at twelve year olds. So, at least there’s some acknowledgement that what they’re doing is not all right. Now, to the series’ credit these blatant paedophiles are shown as, at best, having dark personalities even if they’re technically allied with the heroic group. There are multiple guys who seem to get sexually aroused from battle who develop something of a fixation on the two of them and there’s a woman in her twenties who forces Gon to go on a date with her. Gon and his equally young friend, Killua, attract a lot of attention from older characters. No, it’s not actual romance but that’s the quickest way to succinctly describe it before going into the details. The biggest flaw is the “romance” element. Let’s begin, as I usually do, with the negatives about the story. And, since this is a long shounen action series, after that arc ends we have a good half dozen more. We follow twelve year old Gon Freecss, son of a famous hunter, who’s preparing to take the exam and follow in his father’s footsteps. Each year there’s an exam to determine what young blood will be allowed to join the Hunter’s organisation. Our narrative is set in a world where an elite group of hunters has a lot of fame, prestige and performs dangerous tasks. I did like Yu Yu Hakusho well enough, so let’s see how this one compares. The Madhouse series is the one we’ll be looking at today. One from ’99- ’01, a thirty episode OVA from ’02-’04 and a Madhouse series that started airing in 2011 and ran until 2014. The still ongoing manga has gotten several anime adaptations. You may know him as the author of Yu Yu Hakusho and the husband of Takeuchi Naoko, the writer of Sailor Moon. Hunter x Hunter is a long running shounen series written by Togashi Yoshihiro.
