What really makes the series’ great composition is the timing. Using silence at the right moment or playing the ending song a few seconds before the episode ends is a great decision because it helps evoke the exact emotion the scene is intended to evoke. The music can also get quite exciting during scenes where there’s a lot going on, adding to the chaos of it all. Many other factors also contribute to great sound and music, such as a great score.
Hunter X Hunter’s sound design makes a lot of sense when you examine the people involved. Yoshihisa Hirano was responsible for composing the series’ music, with Chiaki Yamada named as the series’ sound director. Hirano is an incredible musician who graduated from the best music school in the world, Julliard, and Yamada is an industry veteran who has worked on many hit series. They reunited after successfully completing their roles in Death Note, another series with a special layout.
The narration is breathtaking
Hunter x Hunter is unique in the way it tells stories that follow each episode
Another person who made the series special was the narrator, who had an incredible voice that fluctuated from menacing to calm, while explaining to viewers things they missed but couldn’t. missing in the story. This is especially important in the Chimera Ant arc, where so much happens and so many emotions flare up that it’s impossible to take it all in. Armed only with their majestic voices, the narrator gave one of his best performances ever. To really understand their importance, the best examples would be Gyro’s plot and Rose’s bombing scene.
From great opening and ending songs to beautiful and haunting music, Hunter X Hunter’s music peaks in the Phantom Troupe and Chimera Ant arcs, two of the best arcs in Shonen anime . It would be an understatement to say that the composition of music and sound is the backbone of the series, even more so in the many emotional moments that the anime adaptation brings. Studio Madhouse and all the staff gave their best, and if Hunter X Hunter once returned, it is imperative that all those involved are brought back again.
