# Where to Watch Hunter x Hunter

**Hunter x Hunter (2011) streams on Netflix, Crunchyroll, and Hulu, with additional options on Amazon Prime Video and free-to-watch Tubi. This is the adaptation to start with: 148 episodes that open as a bright, big-hearted shounen adventure and quietly grow into one of the most ambitious and emotionally ruthless stories the genre has ever produced.

## Synopsis

Hunters are the world's elite licensed adventurers, the people trusted to track down criminals, chart untamed wilds, and recover lost treasures. Gon Freecss grew up thinking his father was long gone, until he learns the man is alive somewhere out there, one of those legendary Hunters. So Gon sets out to earn the same license, convinced it's the road that leads back to him. That path runs through the Hunter Examination, a brutal gauntlet with a reputation for killing far more applicants than it ever passes. Along the way he falls in with three unlikely companions: Kurapika, who carries a cold need for vengeance; Leorio, blunt and money-minded but chasing a doctor's dream; and Killua, a sharp-witted boy raised by a family of assassins. What begins as a test of survival becomes a friendship that carries them into ever stranger and more dangerous corners of the world.

## If You Liked This

- **[Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood](https://hozuna.com/anime/fullmetal-alchemist-brotherhood)** — The other complete-adaptation shounen everyone points to when they say 'peak.' Two brothers instead of two friends, alchemy instead of Nen, but the same rare balance of grand-hearted adventure and gut-punch darkness. If HxH's tonal range is what got you, this is the obvious next watch.
- **[Jujutsu Kaisen](https://hozuna.com/anime/jujutsu-kaisen)** — If the tactical Nen fights were your favorite part, Jujutsu Kaisen scratches the exact same itch: a rule-bound energy system where creativity and cursed technique beat raw strength, wrapped in some of the sharpest fight choreography around.
- **[One Piece](https://hozuna.com/anime/one-piece)** — Gon's whole 'chase the impossible and follow your father' spirit is basically One Piece's engine, scaled up to an ocean-sized world. Same dream-chasing heart, same ride-or-die friendships, same knack for turning a goofy adventure into something that suddenly hits hard.
- **[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure](https://hozuna.com/anime/jojo-s-bizarre-adventure)** — Another franchise built on power battles you win with your brain instead of your fists. Stands work a lot like Nen, all specific rules and clever exploits, and the whole thing is bold, stylish, and endlessly quotable once it gets rolling.
