Hunter X Hunter 2011 – 93
I may have said this before, but I’m running out of superlatives for Togashi, and for Madhouse. Confession time: I was really looking forward to this episode, as much as any I have for a long time. Partly it’s because I’m such a huge fan of Gon (the most under-appreciated […] Read more
Hunter X Hunter 2011 – 92
Oh, Togashi-sensei – you continue to confound my expectations at every turn. One of my favorite catch phrases when it comes to anime I love is “simple and profound at the same time”. It’s something a few very special series can manage to pull off, but another one springs to […] Read more

The title: Hunter X Hunter: The Last Mission. Premiering 12/27/13. Here’s the synopsis: The strongest Hunters that once existed in the Hunters Association were split into “light” and “dark”, and each walked down their respective paths.

Hunter X Hunter 2011 – 91
It says something about the best anime on television that even after 91 episodes, it can still break new ground. My faith in Togashi-sensei as a writer is pretty much limitless at this stage, so it’s not as if I can say I’m completely surprised by this episode. In fact, […] Read more

That was definitely an episode for the Nen geeks in the audience. The quality of mercy is not strained.It droppeth as the gentle rain from heavenUpon the place beneath. It is twice blessed:It blesseth him that gives and them that takes. Shakespeare – The Merchant of Venice, Act 4, Scene […] Read more
Hunter X Hunter 2011 – 89
Now those were the last two people I expected to see in this arc… They call this arc “Chimera Ant” but there was nary a mention of the buggers in this episode. Rather, it focused completely on Gon’s fight with Knuckle – and in the process re-examined some old themes […] Read more
Hunter X Hunter 2011 – 88
Madhouse continues to illustrate what happens when brilliantly written shounen is elevated to high art. Of late, Hunter X Hunter has taken on that peculiar quality that great anime sometimes does, where a 22-minute episode seems to last about five minutes. It’s a product of not-wasted time, I suspect – […] Read more
Hunter X Hunter 2011 – 87
If you were expecting Togashi to keep the morality of this arc simple, you were definitely barking up the wrong tree. The guy doesn’t do simple. There was really no way the “Chimera Ant” arc could remain as relentlessly dark and morose as it was for it’s first ten episodes […] Read more
