Hunter X Hunter is a anime and a manga


but just not any manga its made by the husband of the famous
NAOKO TAKEUCHI the famous creater of sailor moon


its is about a boy whos father is a hunter a special person who looks for treasures and rare species.

he follows in his fathers footsteps to try to become a hunter.

there are thousand of applicants ever year and just to get to the testing grounds they have to pass certain traps

out of 100,000 participants 1 makes it to the testing ground

and 1 a year pases on there first try

so far it is very clean except for a lot of action

I hope this title is licensed i the us soon

HxH is a fav of mine since I am a fan of Togashi-san XD Yeah, probably the only thing that makes it objectable is the heavy violence and gore--Togashi's trait you might say. As usual, his action sequences are marvelous and you can get so much in just one panel. But yeah, heads blow off, hearts get ripped out, limbs fly....

Another of Togashi's trait (which I am ironically in love with) is his trend to not use rulers and ink like he's an hour away from the deadline ^^;; Even though so, his stories are still engaging and I look to his sketchy-ness inking style for reference XD

Later on in the manga some characters of the Ryo-dan might irk some Christians. They got a char (the leader of the Ryo-dan) named Kuroro Lucifer (who has a roman cross on his forehead) and one of his members wears an inverted cross.

Though, not once have I read them "say" anything about God in particular, I still think it's worth the warning.

it isnt really THAT graphic its much less graphic then say naruto or rurouni kenshin

but really gets me is the storyline the exotic creatures

very cool

and they dont talk about religion at all so its religion nueteral which makes it all the better!!!

O_O I'd think HXH is WAY more graphic then Naruto or Kenshin.... or are you talking about the anime? I haven't watched that much of the HxH anime (only the Greed Island OAVs) so I wouldn't know.

But the manga is GRAPHIC. Way more than the mangas of Naruto or RK; Togashi has a great knack for detail ^^;; (and exploding heads)

where the heck is ther exploding heads ive only read the first volume but it didnt seem graphic to me and if it was it was very realistic graphicness

Ah, ic now ^^ I've already read up to volume 15 <--2 page spread of exploding heads.

It gets hecka lot more violent and and deep as it goes along. Has Killua ripped out that guys heart yet in volume one? I don't remember, but really, things get much more graphic later on ^^

I am getting all the eps from my friend. its going to be arriving in the mail soon. CANT WAIT!! also, getting new eps of Astro Boy & Gad Gaurd !!

i hope hunter x hunter gets licensed too! ^_^

I'm certain it will considering the success of Yu Yu Hakusho.

Hunter x Hunter should be licensed, but half of the violence in it wouldn't make it past the censors >__<;

What censors?
The DVDs should be totally uncut like most series(outside of 4kids releases) are, although if it winds up on the Adult Swim/Toonami blocks, it will almost certainly have quite a bit of editing for TV, just like YYH.
But I assume that the violence and such has been toned down to a certain extent in the anime, as compared to the manga as is almost always the case in manga-to-anime adaptations.

Man, I hate gore *walks off, looking rather green.*

I meant the dubbers. Like the ones who cleaned up YYH.

Oh, and the manga is definitely more violent... more heads being sliced in half, etc.

Since we have two dissimilar (but titled the same) Hunter X Hunter threads running in tandem, I'm altering titles to reflect what topics are being discussed since I don't find any easy way to merge one into the other.

I heard rumors that hunterXhunter was just liecensed by Viz (yay for Shonen Jump!):

I guess we'll all know come April.

I don't know much about the series since I didn't want to spoil it for myself (which I have a bad habit of doing), but I'm a big fan of YYH.
