Muse India Streams Hunter x Hunter Anime on YouTube

Muse India began streaming the 2011 Hunter x Hunter anime on YouTube on Saturday. The channel added the first 21 episodes of the anime as a single video and will add a new episode daily from episode 22 onwards.

The company describes the anime:

Hunters devote themselves to accomplishing hazardous tasks, all from traversing the world's uncharted territories to locating rare items and monsters. Before becoming a Hunter, one must pass the Hunter Examination—a high-risk selection process in which most applicants end up handicapped or worse, deceased.

Ambitious participants who challenge the notorious exam carry their own reason. What drives 12-year-old Gon Freecss is finding Ging, his father and a Hunter himself. Believing that he will meet his father by becoming a Hunter, Gon takes the first step to walk the same path.

During the Hunter Examination, Gon befriends the medical student Leorio Paladiknight, the vindictive Kurapika, and ex-assassin Killua Zoldyck. While their motives vastly differ from each other, they band together for a common goal and begin to venture into a perilous world.

The second television anime adaptation of Yoshihiro Togashi's Hunter x Hunter manga premiered in Japan in 2011 and ran for 148 episodes. The final episode premiered in 2014. The series retold the story of Togashi's original manga from the beginning.

Togashi launched the manga in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1998. The manga inspired two television anime series, two anime films, and several original video anime titles.
