The
HUNTER X HUNTER anime series reboots the popular HUNTER X HUNTER manga
originally created by Yoshihiro Togashi. The anime adventure is
broadcast in North America on Adult Swim’s Toonami and was produced by
the famed animation studio, MADHOUSE. The fresh English voice cast
includes the talented Erica Mendez as Gon Freecss, Cristina Vee as
Killua Zoldyck, Keith Silverstein as Hisoka, and Erika Harlacher as
Kurapika.
In the original HUNTER X HUNTER manga series, which is also published by VIZ Media (rated ‘T’ for Teens), Hunters
are a special breed, dedicated to tracking down treasures, magical
beasts, and even other people. But such pursuits require a license, and
less than one in a hundred thousand can pass the grueling qualification
exam. Those who do pass gain access to restricted areas, amazing stores
of information, and the right to call themselves Hunters.
