‘Hunter X Hunter’ Season 7: Everything You need to know

Published on:

Hunter X Hunter is one of the finest anime series you have ever seen, as well as one of the most well-known. It was a huge hit when it was first launched in the 1990s. Yoshihiro Togashi created it in early 1998. Hunter X Hunter, like most anime, is inspired by a manga series. Hunter X Hunter Season 7 (HXH Season 7) has yet to get an update from Madhouse.

Nippon Animation created the first Hunter X Hunter anime adaptation, which Kazuhiro Furuhashi helmed. From October 16, 1999, to March 31, 2001, 62 episodes of Hunter X Hunter were aired on Fuji Television, Japan’s terrestrial television network.

In July 2011, a new Hunter X Hunter anime adaption was revealed. Instead of extending the narrative from the OVA show, it begins from the commencement of the manga to provide a more authentic adaptation. Hiroshi Kjina helmed the series, which was produced by Madhouse. Atsushi Maekawa wrote the script, and Takahiro Yoshimatsu designed the character.

In April 2016, Toonami launched the same show with an English dubbed version. Toonami’s English-language version ended after season 6. Following Season 6, there was a huge demand for Hunter X Hunter Season 7. Hunter X Hunter Season 7 is highly anticipated by fans of the iconic anime series, and it has a massive and devoted fan base. Here is all we know about the upcoming season.

Release Schedule Of The Seventh Installment Of Hunter X Hunter

Season 6 of ‘Hunter X Hunter’ aired on July 8, 2014, and ran for 12 episodes till September 24, 2014. It is based on the original manga series’ arc titled “13th Hunter Chairman Election.” The series was created by Studio Madhouse, with Hiroshi Koujina in charge of directing the crew. “Hunter X Hunter Movie 1: Phantom Rouge” (2013) and “Hunter X Hunter Movie 2: The Last Mission” (2014) are two films based on the same characters created by Madhouse.

Season 7 has yet to get an official announcement that confirms its progress. In February 2021, Megumi Han and Mariya Ise teased fans about a new Hunter X Hunter venture. While followers anticipated an upcoming season of the Hunter X Hunter franchise, or a third Hunter X Hunter film, this was most likely for the “Escape From the Shape-Shifting Labyrinth.” It was accessible from March 25 until June 27, 2021.

Gon ultimately sees his father at the conclusion of Season 6 as he mounts the World Tree. One of the anime’s main plot lines has been Gon’s hunt for his father. Other people take the spotlight in the manga’s subsequent arcs. Therefore, the completion of the “13th Hunter Chairman Election” arc was a suitable spot for the anime to end. If there are more anime seasons, they will feature different characters.

Furthermore, Hunter X Hunter is known for taking long, extended breaks. As a consequence, the manga has stalled since the arc titled “13th Hunter Chairman Election” was released. Given all of this, we can expect the anime’s next season to be delayed for quite some time, and Season 7 of Hunter X Hunter is anticipated to premiere in 2023.

Cast Information Of Hunter X Hunter Season 7

Fans have to go through Mariya Ise’s social media remarks to get a grasp on when it comes and who to anticipate in the voice cast at this moment. Fortunately, Funimation has interpreted these messages so that English-speaking followers may get a sense of what they are thinking for the series’ development.

Megumi Han, who voiced the lead role Gon Freecss, shared a snapshot of a microphone on Instagram and said that “she is very happy to return to her ‘starting point’ and was recorded alongside her ‘partner’” (as translated by Funimation). 

Likewise, Mariya Ise (Killua Zoldyck’s voice actress) said on Twitter that she was “recording for a project, and was happy to meet up with her ‘partner'” (according to Funimation). If these words are about Hunter X Hunter Season 7, two of the major cast members will reprise their roles as the lead characters.

If the Japanese production tries to preserve the original cast, the English version of the same should follow the pattern. This implies Erica Mendez might reprise her role as Gon Freecss, Cristina Valenzuela might reprise her role as Killua Zoldyck, and Michael McConnohie could reprise his role as narrator for Season 7.

The Storyline Of The Seventh Installment Of Hunter X Hunter

The source material, “Hunter X Hunter” manga, is the largest hold-up for the upcoming season of the series. The manga has a history of being delayed, but the most current hiatus, which began in late 2018, is reportedly owing to Yoshihiro Togashi’s chronic health concerns and, according to CBR, a purported fascination with the “Dragon Quest” video game franchise.

If Season 7 of “Hunter x Hunter” is ever released, it will very certainly be the last chapter in the narrative of Gon Freecss and the Hunters. According to Comic Book, Togashi said in 2018, just before the manga’s longest sabbatical, “I need to finish writing ‘Hunter x Hunter.’ It has come to the point where either the story concludes first, or I die before that happens. But I do intend to finish it.”

While fans may find it difficult to wave farewell to a series as iconic and intricate as “Hunter X Hunter,” they should be ready to do so regardless of whether Season 7 is ever released or not. Hopefully, the conclusion includes more of the series’ spectacular animated battles that fans can anticipate.

Conclusion

Viz Media publishes the Hunter X Hunter manga worldwide. Furthermore, the anime is available on a variety of platforms, including Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Crunchyroll, and others. Hopefully, the information about Hunter x Hunter Season 7 was useful to you. Personally, we are all looking forward to another exciting season with a diversified plot.
