The first “version” of Hunter x Hunter came out in 1999 and ran till 2004. The show got good response.

Which Version To Watch?
Whether to watch the 1999 version or the relatively new 2011 version of Hunter x Hunter? Well, from what I can say, you can watch the 2011 version at first and then if you’re curious, you can watch the 1999 version as well!
Personally speaking, I like the 2011 version more, not only because of the animation, but also how everything is presented! Honestly it’s hard to explain! Well, it’s up to you. The 1999 version only has 62 episodes. And the 2011 version has 148. So, the 2011 version has more than twice the number of episodes than that older version!
If you ask my opinion then, for me it’s always the 2011. Because why should I not consume more of Gon’s adventure? Isn’t that a common answer?
