User blog comment:FinalFlash18/Why do you even watch HxH in the first place?/@comment-24514845-20140206230115

I loved Yu Yu Hakusho on TV as a kid; last year I watched the series online for the first time since then. I still really enjoyed it, and afterwards looked into Tohgashi's other works. I found Hunter x Hunter, and was intrgued to see that it's ongoing. I watched a Youtube clip from the 2011 re-animation of Hisoka fighting Togari and that's when I first thought 'Wow.....'. I still decided to watch the 1999 animation first, at least. It took a few episode to really get me interested, because after watching Yu Yu I was looking for some Shounen action. The story is much more involved than I was expecting, and I was quickly attached to the characters. The fighting, although more sparse than a typical action Shounen, is often a lot more innovative and meaningful. Great job Togashi!!
