What makes this anime so good is the juxtaposition of the innocence of Gon against the hardcore brutality of many of the episodes - Killua's casual killings, the Phantom Troupe's cold bloodedness, the Chimera Ant's systematic extermination of humans, Hisoka's paedophilic predilections, ... and on it goes - all wrapped in good story telling.
