Japanese anime dominates the animation in Asia. I grew up with Doraemon, Keroro, they gave me a lot of laughter after school every day. I remember I was sad when one of the cast pasts away, I felt like it is never going to be the same, I never watched it since then. When I got older, I started watching a few anime including Naruto, One piece, Dragon Ball and Hunter x Hunter..etc. My favourite anime is Naruto for sure but I would like to talk about Hunter x Hunter because it is a good show but less people may saw it.
Hunter x Hunter started as a manga series and produced in animation form in 2011. In fact, many Japanese animation is created based on a manga. It is very inspiring that it’s about a kid, Gon chases his father, who abandoned Gon to his friend’s household and pursued his own dream. While he was going after his father, he met some friends who have great impact to his life. At the same time, the anime talks about their friendships a lot, including conflicts, respect, the one I liked most is “friends always get your back”. I felt like all them can relate to myself in reality, they also let me know how to be a better friend. My favorite character is Killua, he is super cool but he was messed up because of his family. I liked the part that he tries to overcome the adversity for keeping the friendship with Gon. The part I like most was Killua rescued his brother, who is also messed up because of the family. This anime is highly recommended!
