I have always been meaning to watch this anime, and honestly it has really blown my mind so far, i always love an anime that builds the world and character, not just a storyline. The animation is old but it is still beautiful, especially looking at the detailing on that Bear.

Ep 1 is pretty chill but it already reels you in. Gon's super cheerful and curious, but you can tell there's a stubborn, focused side to him too. Watching him take on that first challenge feels like the start of something way bigger.

The pacing and the world building in this first episode really stand out to me. It gives you little bit of information on this whole new world without being overwhelming. It is a must watch if you like shounen and adventure, and Gon is just so wholesome that you will root or him.

This opener doesn’t waste a beat. The trio’s chemistry lands immediately — it feels warm and energetic, like meeting a group you’d want to follow. Clean, confident start that makes continuing feel easy.

A measured, character-centric opener that tactically establishes ambition, world logic, and tone through quiet optimism, blending innocence with latent risk to set a disciplined adventure framework.
