It also reminds me of One Piece at some point, because it has this dream where a son is looking for his father, and there's a whole journey built around it where everybody goes on their own path. There's passion. There's challenge. There's politics. It has a lot of elements that feel inspired from real life. And at the same time, I feel it's very strange, strange in a way that, at the crux of it, we, as human beings in society, are all hunters. We're all looking for something to have an adventure with. And that's it. That's pretty much it.
Hunter x Hunter
Hunter x Hunter (2011) · HUNTER×HUNTER(ハンター×ハンター) · 2011
A boy chases his father into a very dark world.
Synopsis
Gon Freecss wants to become a licensed Hunter, mostly so he can track down his absent father, Ging, a legendary Hunter who vanished long ago. Along the way he befriends Killua, a former child assassin, Kurapika, driven by a vow of revenge, and Leorio, chasing wealth for deeply personal reasons. What starts as an adventurous shonen romp about a brutal qualifying exam gradually deepens into something much darker and more sophisticated, especially once the story reaches the Chimera Ant arc, widely considered one of anime's finest and most philosophically brutal storylines. Charming, then devastating: that is Hunter x Hunter's whole trick.
