Personal opinion and conclusion / Opinión personal y conclusión

Being a genre like shonen (comics for kids) at first instance his impression for me was not the most receptive because it made me think it was very childish either by the environment or Gon as a character in the beginning and I could not be more wrong because as it progressed the series as a whole changed considerably and showed a little more raw and serious nuances. The story as such does not have a great theme in fact it is quite simplistic but that does not mean that it is something bad in fact on the contrary I think you can take advantage of the characters and the multiple environments that present as the development or progress of the plot.

With respect to the people, I can only say that appearances are deceiving and that each one contributes in one way or another an incredible growth either individually or as a group according to the situations to which they are exposed, there are some that grow more than others and others that although at first instance do not show so much relevance in the long run the opposite happens, One of the things I can say about this series is that from my experience and point of view there is no such thing as a villain or absolute evil, only individuals with interests and needs in between that is the interpretation with which I could reach at the end of this incredible anime to which I strongly invite you to give it a chance and have your own conclusions at the end of it.

Siendo un genero como el shonen (Comics para chicos) a primera instancia su impresion para mi no fue la mas receptiva debido a que me hizo pensar que era muy infantil ya sea por el ambiente o Gon como personaje en su comienzo y no pude estar mas equivocado ya que a medida de que iba avanzando la serie en su totalidad cambiada considerablemente y mostraba matices un poco mas crudos y serios. La historia como tal no tiene una gran tema de hecho es bastante simplista pero no por eso significa que sea algo malo de hecho al contrario pienso que se puede sacar provecho de los personajes y los multiples ambientes que presentan a medida del desarrollo o avanze de la trama.

Con respecto a los personas, solo puedo decir que las apariencias enganan y que cada uno aporta de alguna u otra forma un crecimiento increible ya sea de forma individual o grupal acorde a las situaciones a los cuales estos se exponen, hay unos que crecen mas que otro y otros que aunque a primera instancia no muestren tanta relevancia a la larga pasa lo contrario, una de las cosas que les puedo afirmar de esta serie es que desde mi experiencia y punto de vista no hay tal cosa como un villano o mal absoluto, solo individuos con intereses y necesidades de por medio esa es la interpretacion con la que pude llegar al finalizar este increible anime a lo cual les invito encarecidamente que le den una oportunidad y tengan sus propias conclusiones al finalizarla.

Absolutely get it. Thats why i cant make myself sit through seven deadly sins. But so far including you, many have praised HxH. Might have to start rewatching it fairly soon..

I admit that I used these sources presented, as a reference, to have a better structure at the time of elaborating the publication, however, I did not use their schematization completely, and I also complemented it entirely with my personal opinion about it.
