Wonderful adventure shounen show. The best part, though, is the ridiculously in-depth system that all the characters' magical abilities are based on, called Nen. It's as complex as the kind of system you typically find in a really well crafter role playing game, with many details covered. It really goes a long way towards explaining how the same system can let one character uses Nen to create invisible, sticky threads of spirit energy to trap someone, and another person uses Nen to create a magic gauntlet-like set of chains that he uses to crush his opponents internal organs. It puts the chakra system from Naruto to shame. It's really fun if you like getting into the inner workings of magic and supernatural abilities. | Wonderful adventure shounen show.

Main Description
Gon is a cheerful boy whose life takes a sudden turn when he's rescued by an adventurer, who tells him about the legendary Hunters. When informed that his missing father Ging Freaks is one of the greatest Hunters ever, he decides to take the Hunter Exam and follow in his footsteps. Notable characters include Killua, the son of a mighty assassin clan. Hunter x Hunter follows the basic shounen template of young men fighting evil, learning new moves, becoming stronger, then fighting more evil.

Personal Opinions
darkgray
Purely awesome shounen show with the best sense of adventure I've yet encountered in the genre. I prefer this to the more famous Naruto and Bleach, partly because there's no filler.
