Review Hunter x Hunter Phantom Rouge


Secret attack #37 Double friendship punch

One day Gon, Killua received a call from Kirapika. Kurapika supposedly found someone from his clan, who were supposedly all killed except for Kurapika, but it ended up being a trap and his eyes ended up being stolen. Will Gon and friends be able to get Kurapika's eyes back even though the culprit behind the deed is powerful and mysterious Nen user who has another connection to his past?
Some more back story for your
Phantom Rouge is a franchise movie using the Hunter x Hunter setting. As such it is an original story that doesn't exactly fit into the overall story although it does seem to happen between the York Shin and the Greed Island arcs. The first minute and a half is spent getting new viewers up to speed so this is a movie I could recommend to general audiences.
Add a goth loli in for good measure

This movie has an antagonist that exists only for the purposes of the movie just like almost every other franchise movie in existence. Phantom Rouge also has a strong focus on Killua and the conflict between his friendship with Gon and the conditioning he received from his family (fans of the franchise will notice how this comes up early in the Chimera ant arc), making this movie a bit better than most movies like it, although not enough to warrant an award upgrade.

Overall I found Hunter x Hunter Phantom Rouge to be One of the better franchise movies and something that would be good fun for any fan of the franchise.


Rating the bronze mewtew (pokemon) for being a completely decent franchise movie.
