Summary:
Gon Freecs, a young boy that lives on a small island learns that his father who he doesn't remember is an extremely famous man and has become somewhat of an amazing hunter. Gon takes the hunter exam to seek out his amazing father, but on the way while teaming up with 3 other candidates, Kurapica, Leorio, and Killua, he learns that there is more to becoming a hunter and the challenges that he must face will be beyond his imaginations.
Twelve-year-old Gon Freecss one day discovers that the father he had always been told was dead was alive and well. His Father, Ging, is a Hunter--a member of society's elite with a license to go anywhere or do almost anything. Gon, determined to follow in his father's footsteps, decides to take the Hunter Examination and eventually find his father to prove himself as a Hunter in his own right. But on the way, he learns that there is more to becoming a Hunter than previously thought, and the challenges that he must face are considered the toughest in the world. (From AnimeNewsNetwork.)

Overall Rating
Good
Story: 4
Dialogue: 4
Animation: 3
Entertainment: 5
pros
+ decent and well thought-out story, although slightly patchy at parts
+ likeable and dynamic characters with good development
+ good humour involved with even tense scenes
cons
- animation isn't up to the mark
- dialogue slightly repetitive
- slow start, and the end may leave you a little disappointed
conclusion: despite some repetitiveness, a slow start, and animation that truly isn't up to the mark anymore, this is one of the shounen worth the watch. well thought-out storyline, good adventure and action to it, and the charas with their stories and development are well incorporated. plus, there's not one unlikeable character, even the villains are well-done. up to all that, there's humour that'll leave you rolling on the floor. okay, i again prefer the manga, but i watched this years ago and remember it fondly -- and that there's a newer remake going on only makes it better.
