Overview

Hunter x Hunter is a Japanese anime television series based on the manga series written by Yoshihiro Togashi. The narrative follows a young boy named Gon who lives on Whale Island and aspires to become a Hunter, following the path of his father who left when Gon was young. Produced by Madhouse Studios and directed by Hiroshi Kōjina, the 2011 production serves as a new adaptation of the source material. Rather than continuing from the previous 1999 Nippon Animation series, this version begins from the very first chapter of the manga. The series was broadcast on Nippon Television for a total of 148 episodes between October 2011 and September 2014. This adaptation is distinct from other media sharing the Hunter name, such as the 1984 detective television series or various commercial entities specializing in footwear, irrigation systems, and ceiling fans. The production remains a notable entry in the anime genre, consistently focusing on the journey of its protagonist as he pursues his goal of becoming a Hunter.
