Ok since Darkchylde brought this up i might as well share one.

The Beginning

Well its abvious that anime and cartoons are part of our life (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Batman, Biker Mice etc) its part of childhood specifically and i remember my first anime was Voltes V to my knowledge the very first ever anime in my country which aired in late 1970's though multiple re-runs over the years have made this series a lot more popular including new generations like me by that time (1990's) though that wasn't made me a solid anime/fan. Several popular titles were aired in every different channel such as Yuyu Hakusho, DB series, Slam Dunk, Sailor Moon but still even with this anime still isn't that clicking not much success like Voltes 5 considering the fact that these  titles have several reruns after every 20+ plus episodes and going back to the beginning w/c kinda suck, not until around 1998/1999 where a popular channel started airing animes in primetime countering rival channels airing drama and guess what Yuyu Hakusho is probably the most successful and popular anime after that it became the no. 1 show in primetime beating dramas and this is where i got hooked specifically after the success of YYH a lot of animes came such as Flame of Recca, Yuyu Hakusho, Tri-gun, Vision of Escalflowne this are the primetime shows that i can remember not including the afternoon show and weekend show.

Hunter x Hunter

And then came Hunter x Hunter around 2002 - 2003, w/c anime in primetime begun to stale as drama starts to get popular once again, Hunter x Hunter was the last anime i have watched in primetime and boy it was memorable im highschool by then and this is where i started collecting poster, magazines etc. And guess what the issue of a certain magazine "Questor" and it featured Hunter x Hunter and a cover page became the fastest selling magazine ever and yeah i still have a copy of that, though it got me sad becuz HxH was stop at the Yorkshin arc by that time and you pretty much can't argue about it since Greed Island OVA weren't created by that time so ive waited a few years watching a few animes which some i like, then came the OVA's and up to the last OVA this is where i started reading manga around 2007 and ofc HxH isn't my first manga in fact it was Monster but the very first manga volume that i bought was Hunter x Hunter and to tell you honestly by that time i don't consider myself an anime guy instead a manga reader i read more manga than watching anime it just that i have prefer reading.

Even though at my 20's i started working i still find myself reading and watching series that i like even though not as much like when i was in school well outside world is also a major part of our life but still manga and anime are the things that i could never get rid of even when im old and HxH is one of the series that ever change my love for the anime.
