In addition to Hunter x Hunter, Hiroshi also worked on Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu , Sand Land , and many other anime. In other words, he was invited to the Nippon Anime & Film Culture Association due to his vast experience in the field of Japanese animation. According to the director, the excess of productions triggered a lack of professional animators.
These days, animators move from one studio to another more frequently, making them unavailable at times. Remote work also makes communication between them difficult, as it is difficult to guide beginners when they are not physically present. As a result, beginners do not receive adequate training due to the rushed schedule.
Synopsis:
The story takes place in a world where hunters exist to perform all kinds of dangerous tasks like capturing criminals and searching for lost treasures in unknown territories. However, 12-year-old Gon Freecss is determined to become a great hunter in hopes of finding his father, who abandoned his son and the rest of the family a long time ago. However, Gon soon realizes that the path to achieving his goals is much more challenging than he ever imagined.
The manga was published in March 1998 in Weekly Shonen Jump . Furthermore, author Yoshihiro Togashi has taken several hiatuses since 2006 due to his health problem.
Hunter x Hunter also got a new anime by MadHouse , which aired from October 2011 to September 2014 with a total number of 148 episodes .
