Obsessive

Ever since my Grade 3 days, I have been in love with Hunter x Hunter. My obsession is an on-off thing (goes on when I actually have the time to watch and re-watch on DVD), but the love is perpetual. I am a professed anime nut, and HxH is seriously the best I have ever encountered.

HxH is packed with insane action that gives you some sort of delicious excitement (it rivals that of Hisoka when he sees a powerful opponent) but at the same time it kinds of give you an overwhelming sense of attachment too, because the story is formed in such a way that it's possible to believe you are a part of it. The story in itself is a melding of relatively simple yet nonetheless brilliant stuff. Priceless comedic moments peppered here and there makes it all the more memorable and no less powerful.

The reviews I read online (great ones at Manga Life) all agree that the characters are the heart of the series though. I agree with my whole heart. The set is interesting, well-balanced and fascinatingly colorful. Good guy or villain, each one of them has personality glitches (which are usually entertaining), a fitting Hatsu (this, mind you, can only be comprehended by fan boy Otaku types), intense desires and emotions. I don't even mind the lack of romantic developments and female characters--I'm more than content just seeing Kurapika and Killua, who I have to say are both fiercely good-looking. :x

For the past few days, I have indulged myself watching the series on DVD (the Hunter Exam, Celestial Tower and Genei Ryodan arcs) and streaming the first OVA online. Now I think the only real problem lies on the ending--there is none as of this writing. The manga is ongoing, but that's in Japan! Me wants a full-on multimedia experience.

Yoshihiro Togashi-san, I await the next OVAs. I don't mind if it's about the heinous Chimera Ants or a continuation to the brilliant Genei Ryodan arc (though I'd prefer that infinitely), just please do it. Please.
