Hunter x Hunter watch order
How to watch
The 2011 series covers everything the 1999 version did and continues much further, so start here and ignore the 1999 series and its OVAs. The two films, Phantom Rouge and The Last Mission, are non-canon side stories. Nothing comes after episode 148; the manga continues from there.
