Hunter Hunter is an ongoing series released in 2011. It's basically the story of a young man who becomes a 'Hunter' to learn more and to meet his long absent father who is also a hunter. He meets some great friends a long the way and they end up having some crazy adventures together.
To date, 111 episodes have been released and the story can be so far broken into roughly six parts. 1) Gon (The main protagonist in the story) leaves home to become a hunter. 2) Gon goes to find his friend Killa 3) Gon and Killa learn how to pass the secret Hunter exam. 4) Kurapika's hunt for the Phantom Troupe, A.K.A. the Spiders. 5) The pursuit and completion of Greed Island. 6) The battle with the Chimera Ants.
After these story lines the anime turns to movies to complete the story. The first movie, Phantom Rouge, has been released and explores Kurapika's journey to reclaim his kinsman's red eyes.
The last movie, The Last Mission, has just been released in Japan.
Artistically speaking, Hunter Hunter is interesting to me because it's not always consistent. However, the story is interesting, the characters are endearing and the character designs are solid.
I would recommend Hunter Hunter with a 4 out of 5.
