Netflix started bringing out the Hunter x Hunter early last year and the last time they had a batch update of episodes was in March 2019 I believe. With it having through episode 58 at the time, a new batch of episodes has now been added to the service. This takes us through episode 75, which is about halfway through the series as a whole. The progress looks to be tied to the progress of the home video releases in getting those done. The last set of episodes arrived on February 18th, 2020 on DVD and Blu-ray with the seventh set, so hopefully Netflix will get more “seasons” of the series on the streaming side soon.

Series concept: A Hunter is one who travels the world doing all sorts of dangerous tasks. From capturing criminals to searching deep within uncharted lands for any lost treasures. Gon is a young boy whose father disappeared long ago, being a Hunter. He believes if he could also follow his father’s path, he could one day reunite with him.

After becoming 12, Gon leaves his home and takes on the task of entering the Hunter exam, notorious for its low success rate and high probability of death to become an official Hunter. He befriends the revenge-driven Kurapika, the doctor-to-be Leorio and the rebellious ex-assassin Killua in the exam, with their friendship prevailing throughout the many trials and threats they come upon taking on the dangerous career of a Hunter.
