Anime Name: HunterXHunter
Genre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Drama, Comedy.
Subbed/Dubbed: Subbed.
Review: Gon Freecs, a young boy that lives on a small island learns that his father who he doesn't remember is an extremely famous man and has become somewhat of an amazing hunter. Gon takes the hunter exam to seek out his amazing father, but on the way while teaming up with 3 other candidates, Kurapica, Leorio, and Killua, he learns that there is more to becoming a hunter and the challenges that he must face will be beyond his imaginations.
This anime is truly a classic amongst classics. I cant say much bout it without sounding hyperbolic. Its drama is immersing, its action is unparalleled, its plot twists are heart-pounding and it probably has the deepest charachter design in anime to date. Very few animes are able to focus on the main character without making the supporting characters look lame and powerless but HunterXHunter passes that with flying colors. As a matter of fact they managed to pull that off so well that viewers wont be able to realize which out of the 4 is the leading character and thus end up believing all 4 r the leading charachters.Some animes merely wear the adventure genre on a whim shen there is little adventure to be seen but HunterXHuner takes the viewer to countless interesting and varied places in a fantasy world. There are no fillers. Every episode takes the story to 5 times the distance Bleach takes in 2 episodes. Side characters play key role in main plot.
The anime isnt as popular as it should be but nevertheless its inspired Naruto in various ways.For example- Kurapicas eyes and Sasukes Sharingan, Genei Ryodan and Akatsuki, Shikamaru and Nobunaga, Chakra and Nen, Hunter Exam and Chuunin Exam, etc.

Anime Name: Pretear
Genre: Fantasy, Magical Girl
Subbed/Dubbed: Subbed... I only found one episode dubbed.
Review: The anime was good in general. My main issue was at the ending episodes. The ending should have been much longer because it basically came to a complete hault as if you were on a freeway.
Downloads: The hardest episode to get (for me) was the last (13th) episode.
Rating: I'd have to say 8/10 due to the ending episodes.

Anime Name: Outlaw Star
Genre: Sci-fi, action
Subbed/Dubbed: I watched it dubbed, but not subbed
Review: It was a decent series. I would definitely have to say that guys will probably LOVE it. It had a very good plot, and plenty of action. BUT there were just too many Sub-Plots involved. Sometimes it was hard to follow what was going on.
