On the other hand, even if the series is animated, chances are, many won’t like it. At least not until more chapters are out.Īfter the Succession Contest arc is completed, Madhouse studio might pick it up so that the audience can have a proper anime season while maintaining its quality.Īt this moment, the main factor is not the popularity of the series (c‘mon, let’s be real, that will never dwindle), but the amount of source material available. While most of us can’t wait for the rest to be adapted, quite frankly, with only 52 chapters ahead of the anime, there’s no chance that the studio will continue animating the series.

The latest episode covers up to Chapter 339, while the manga itself is only at chapter 390 right now. The Hunter x Hunter anime concluded its run with episode 148 in 2014. When will Hunter x Hunter return?ĭespite the new tweets about the manga by Togashi, there has been no official news about the release date of the series. Hundreds of fans signed a petition on to urge the creators and producers to release more Hunter x Hunter content.īut more than anything else, the thing that kept Hunter x Hunter alive and in the picture is the fans’ continuing support and love. While fans knew they couldn’t directly influence the creator and Madhouse studios, they definitely did their best to pressure them to do something. But with his daily tweets, I’m guessing he has taken some steps to alleviate the pain. The last report on his health dates back to mid-December 2019. He had been experiencing this since the days of Yu Yu Hakusho and the pain seemingly got worse as he wrote Hunter x Hunter. Togashi’s medical condition called Lumbago severely impacts the joints and muscles in the lower back. While most of us understand the circumstances surrounding the author, there are still quite a few who have no idea how a series like this could take these many breaks. The extremely long hiatus has been nerve-wracking for the fans of the series. The last Hunter x Hunter chapter 390th was released in October 2018. Most of us instead would like to see Togashi focusing on improving his health, and slowly wrap up the manga in the way he wants best. While the studios can certainly continue animating the series by diverging from the manga and adding in non-cannon material, it will only result in a half-baked attempt on their side at holding the fans’ attention. Each and every episode builds up to something that is essential to the plot. Now, one of the redeeming factors of Hunter x Hunter is that it isn’t packed with fillers like other major Shonen series.
