Hunter x Hunter (2011) (Anime) add

Recommended

After Finishing HunterXHunter I've been completely amazed by how great it was. So I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it.

Please note that I haven't read the manga (yet)!

Story: 9
When I was recommended to watch this, my first thought about the story was that it was going to be a happy adventure about friendship and fun. It also seemed like that at the beginning, sure it got a bit dark during the Hunter Exam, but that was to be expected. However, the moment I felt that the story took its darkest turn was when the cast of characters had to complete the final ... part of the Hunter exam.
After that the story became much more complicated, it enticed me to watch it even more than before. I couldn't help myself from watching it, because every episode had me on the edge of my seat making me more excited for what was to come.
I haven't got much more to say about the story without spoiling anything, but overall I must say that if you're expecting an adventure that teaches you all about morals and fun through lessons the characters go through... you'll only be half right.

Art: 8
The art style is truly incredible if you ask me. The main four characters, Gon, Kurapika, Leorio and Kurapika, look pretty simplistic, however the side characters are all memorable because they all look so diverse and unique. I think this is an interesting parallel to the majority of other anime and manga, as, with most shows, the main characters look super cool and unique, while all the characters they meet look identical and are fairly easy to forget, but I feel as if every character in HunterXHunter is different.
The animation is really beautiful and it goes so smoothly. I've also never seen a point in the show where something looks awkwardly animated or look really ugly (when it's not meant to be).

Sound: 9
HunterXHunter has an amazing O.S.T and it complements the story greatly. Every soundtrack is so in sync with the events and it makes you feel with the characters. The music also gives a bit of personality to characters, as you can clearly predict which character may appear or what might happen just by listening to the song.
The seiyuus for the show play each character incredibly well and the voice of each character sounds exactly like I would imagine.

Character: 9
Gon, Killua, Kurapika and Leorio, to me, have fairly simple personalities, however that can't be said for all the side and supporting characters in the anime. Everyone else in the show feels unique and special, they all have different likes and dislikes, compassions, resolves and in general, personalities. I feel that every character was memorable and each one offers something different.
What I love most about the characters is how realistic their personalities are. Each one is relatable to someone in someway, even the characters that looked super badass and strong would make mistakes that made the feel more human. But, what makes them feel the most human is that not every character got a happy ending and each one had their own end result whether it be good or bad.

Enjoyment: 9
I enjoyed HunterXHunter more than I thought I would. Each arch ended making me want to watch more. I couldn't stop once I started. Almost every scene had me feeling lots of different emotions and the thing I love most about HunterXHunter is the pure friendship between Gon and Killua.

Overall: 10
I find it very hard to be harsh about HunterXHunter because of how great it is. I love this show so much and I would recommend it to anyone.

JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 4: Diamond wa Kudakenai (Manga) add

Recommended

Part 4 is my favorite part of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and brought along my favorite Jojo. The story is great and the fact that Part 4 doesn't have really strong characters like Kars and DIO, but instead it has a murderer who just wants a quiet life. Seeing Joseph even older than he is in Stardust Crusaders is great, but Jotaro looks no different than he did in Stardust Crusaders as the only thing that changes is his clothes(I still can't tell where his hat starts and where his hair ends).

Koichi one of my new favorites and the fact he is in a relationship with ...

Baoh Raihousha (Manga) add

Recommended

Baoh: The Visitor is a very short manga only spanning 9 chapters( short and sweet), but it's still good. Baoh has an art style very similar to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood which makes sense as Phantom Blood was made several years after Baoh. Personally I think Baoh is a story that was best made short and if it were to come back I don't think it would be as good. A new anime wouldn't really be great and the OVA was oka, but I don't feel it captured Baoh accurately. I also think that Baoh's appearance in All Star Battle was awesome and I ...
