Understanding Hunter x Hunter's Watch Time
The total duration of Hunter x Hunter depends significantly on what content you choose to watch or skip. The most common interpretation of "all of Hunter x Hunter" refers to the critically acclaimed 2011 anime adaptation.
Here's a breakdown of the viewing durations:
| Viewing Style | Estimated Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Binge-Watch (Skipping OPs & EDs) | ~49.3 hours | This estimate accounts for each of the 148 episodes being approximately 20 minutes long once openings and endings are excluded. All 148 episodes notably share the same opening sequence throughout the series. |
| Optimized Binge-Watch (Aggressive Skipping) | ~40 hours | For viewers looking to complete the series faster, this duration is achievable by not only skipping openings and endings but also fast-forwarding through repetitive recaps, flashback sequences, prolonged conversations, and moments where characters are simply moving without significant plot progression. |
The Hunter x Hunter (2011) anime is widely considered the complete animated adaptation of the manga's currently released arcs, making it the primary focus when discussing watch times.
