Hunter X Hunter: Phantom Rouge

The movie was "eh" compared to the show. Before watching the movie, i highly recommend you finish watching the series. The animations were good and so was the storyline, but a few things didn't really connect with the series, but other than that, it's a good movie. 7.5/10.

This movie is mainly on Kurapika. It gives to you more information about him, his clan and what happens to it. The story is good as always, it maintains the HxH's spirit and I really love it. Even the animation is pretty the same with its typical drawings.

I recommend it to everyone that loves HxH and if you didn't already watched Hunter x Hunter anime you know what to do, you'll never regret!

I have joined the world of "Hunter x Hunter" not that long ago and for now have only 4 seasons of the 2011th edition watched and now also this. I became a huge fan of Gon and Killua friendship and pairing overall. I also absolutely love warmhearted and somewhat goofy but still loyal Leorio and Kurapika who is overcoming tragic past and finding new friends. In my ppinion this movie represents those characters greatly and does not betray them in any way. In fact it is the opposite. The inner struggle of Killua, Gon's undying loyalty, Kurapika's determination as well as the challenge of facing his tragic past! Seeing Leorio again made this movie so much better for me. I am also a huge fan of Hisoka and his story line, and was ecstatic to see him join the good fight and show off. Something we do not see at all till season 4. I honestly liked it and afterwards it felt very good. Like I haven't seen my friends in a long time, and now we all got a chance to catch up a bit, and they haven't chabged a bit (in a good way). We have to part our ways now, but we will see each other again. You know that feeling, right? So, in my case it was 10/10 because of all this positivity and emotions. I hope and wish that everyone who decides to watch it experiences same positive feelings. Enjoy it!

This movie may not be "canon" but that doesn't change anything for me. The movie helps give you more background into the life of a very important character to the series, and also helps solidify all their friendships in the process. It especially made you feel for the characters as their pasts came back to haunt them. The writers also did a very good job of not messing up any of the timelines either. I bought the movie, and I do not regret it. It is beautifully done and definitely worth the watch!

Horrible. Only watch if you're desperate for more hxh content. It's just like reading a fanfic. Everybody is acting out of character and irrational, nothing makes really any sense. Togashi's writing is impeccable and this can't ever compare. Sadly, I was excited, but there was almost no thought or any spirit behind this movie. It's just one big confusing mess. Somehow they tried to fit so many characters to this story for them to just... appear I guess? The only positive thing about this movie is they added a female character, which sadly the original show doesn't have enough of. But that's about it. The animation is mostly bad too, withing the first few seconds you get the derpiest looking Killua as a still image and that is in the very beginning. Just a big disappointment. The show is arguably one of the best anime ever made and this is just below mid :/ the story and idea behind it had potential but they ruined the way it was told.
