Hunter X Hunter season 1 premiered on October 2, 2011. Hunter X Hunter Season 7 Release Date: When will it premiere? I can go on and on about how amazing this anime is, but let’s just end it here by saying that if you haven’t seen it yet, you’re missing out big time. Going through the pain of watching 148 episodes is well worth it, in this case, because not even one episode goes wasted. You’re left with feelings of sadness, happiness, anger and most of all, a lot of satisfaction. Your entire conception of Shounen anime starts to change when the peculiar plot of ‘ Hunter X Hunter‘ begins to unfold. But apart from that, everything else in the show is pretty good. As a viewer, it becomes extremely exhausting for you to watch the same thing that seems to go on forever. A lot of times, the progress in the anime is close to nothing and moves ahead with a snail’s pace. It does not exploit the viewer’s time in any way but that too comes with a price. The fact that ‘Hunter X Hunter’ does not do that even once is highly plausible. Both ‘Naruto’ and ‘Bleach’ are offbeat shows that have gained quite a lot of hype through the years but they often seem to just slip away from the storyline just to fill in gaps of the show or to extend it further for the relevant purpose. Unlike other popular shounen like ‘ Naruto‘ and ‘ Bleach‘, ‘ Hunter X Hunter‘ never beats around the bush by adding fillers to its 148 episodes.
