How many Hunter x Hunter episodes and movies are there?
The 1999 television series and its three OVA continuations contain 92 episodes, while the 2011 adaptation contains 148 episodes. The franchise also has a 1998 pilot and two theatrical films.
Do I need to watch Hunter x Hunter 1999 before Hunter x Hunter 2011?
The 2011 series restarts the story from the beginning rather than continuing the 1999 adaptation, so the two versions should be treated as separate viewing tracks.
What order should a first-timer watch Hunter x Hunter in?
A first-time viewer can begin with the 2011 series and watch its 148 episodes in order. The 1999 adaptation and its three OVA continuations form a separate earlier version.
Is Hunter x Hunter finished or still ongoing?
The 2011 anime ended in 2014 at a natural stopping point, but it does not adapt all subsequently published manga material and no continuation had completed release by September 2026.
