Mixed episodes contain canon scenes spliced with filler — skim them rather than skipping outright.
💎 Filler actually worth watching
- There are no worthwhile filler arcs to seek out — the 2011 series is ~99% canon. The only two filler episodes (13 and 26) are recaps with no original story, so nothing is lost by skipping them.
- If you want the anime-original material the 1999 version added, note that the 2011 series already covers Greed Island as canon TV episodes, so those OVAs aren't needed for the 2011 watch.
❓ FAQ
Does Hunter x Hunter (2011) have filler?
Almost none. Out of 148 episodes only 2 (Ep 13 and Ep 26) are filler, and both are recap episodes — about a 1% filler rate. One other episode (Ep 12) mixes canon and anime-original padding. It's one of the most faithful manga adaptations in anime, so it's effectively filler-free.
Can I watch Hunter x Hunter without skipping anything?
Yes. You can comfortably watch the 2011 series straight through — there's so little filler it isn't worth interrupting your watch. If you want the purest canon experience you can skip the two recap episodes (13 and 26), but you won't miss any story either way.
What's the difference between the 1999 and 2011 versions?
The 1999 series (62 episodes, Nippon Animation) is older, has more filler, and only adapts the story up to Yorknew/Greed Island — continuing via the Greed Island and G.I. Final OVAs. The 2011 series (148 episodes, Madhouse) is the modern, near-1:1 manga adaptation covering everything through the Chimera Ant and Election arcs. The 2011 version is the standard recommendation.
Do I need the Greed Island OVAs?
No — the OVAs (Greed Island 2002 and G.I. Final 2002-2003) belong to the 1999 continuity. The 2011 series covers Greed Island as regular canon TV episodes (59-75), so if you're watching 2011 you don't need any OVAs.
Where does the anime end vs the manga?
The 2011 anime ends after the Election arc (episode 148), around manga volume 32. The manga continues past that (into the Dark Continent / Succession War material) but has been on frequent long hiatuses, so there is no anime beyond the Election arc.
Where can I stream Hunter x Hunter?
The 2011 series is on major platforms (such as Netflix and Crunchyroll in many regions), subbed and dubbed. Availability varies by country, so check your local catalog.
