With new shows set to start this weekend, it’s little surprise we’re getting word now about what’s on top. Crunchyroll has made its latest announcement in that they’ll be bringing out the series Hunter x Hunter for simulcast. The show was originally animated back in the 90’s but has been given a rare new lease on life by getting a fresh start from the beginning to adapt the popular manga series by Yoshihiro Togashi.
Fans of Yoshihiro Togashi’s Hunter x Hunter will no doubt be clearing some time on their Saturday schedules, as Crunchyroll has announced the addition of the new anime adaptation to its fall lineup.
The series debuts in Japan on October 2, which means you can catch the first episode this Saturday on Crunchyroll. Hunter x Hunter will be simulcast 60 minutes after broadcast every Saturday at 8:30 pm PDT.
The series will be available in the following territories: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
Hunter x Hunter follows Gon, a young boy who lives on Whale Island, full of ambition to become a Hunter like his father. Thus, he departs on a journey to become a Pro Hunter, and meets other Hunter exam applicants—like Kurapika, Leorio, and Killua—throughout his dangerous quest.
