Hunters are a special breed, dedicated to tracking down treasure, magical beasts, and even humans. But such pursuits require a license, and less than one in a hundred thousand can pass the grueling qualification exam. Gon might be a country boy, but he has high aspirations. Despite his aunt's protest, Gon decides to follow in his father's footsteps and become a legendary Hunter. The journey begins on the long, arduous road to the Exam Hall, where he meets Leorio and Kurapika, two applicants with the same determination. Gon and his two companions must now prove their worth and earn the right to call themselves Hunters! (official distributor synopsis)

English Hunter x Hunter is a show that made me go back to watching anime series about eight years ago. Although I came across the first few episodes more or less by accident, I could not resist, and this show managed to win me over very quickly. It has a very interesting and suspenseful narrative and great characters (especially Killua and Hisoka). It is not afraid to show violence and gore. Plus, it is beautifully colorful and with a nice soundtrack. The 2011 remake goes much further in the story and has a much brisker pace, although I put this older version in my Top Ten from a purely nostalgic point of view. ()
