The Hunter exams are coming, and Toonami’s here to help you prepare!
Over the weekend, Toonami announced that will air a Hunter x Hunter marathon. The news was revealed in a bumper, which aired during the block:
Toonami will show the first seven episodes of the series on July 2, starting at 11:30PM.
The 2011 Hunter x Hunter anime was the second adaptation of Yoshihiro Togashi’s long-running manga series. Hiroshi Koujina helmed the show at Madhouse, with Takahiro Yoshimatsu providing character designs. The series premiered in October 2011, and ran for 148 episodes.
Viz Media announced that they licensed Hunter x Hunter last October, at New York Comic Con. Crunchyroll streamed the show as it aired in Japan.
Hunter x Hunter officially joined the Toonami lineup on April 16. The first eleven episodes have been shown since the series made its début, with each episode attracting between 820,000 and 1.2 million viewers.
