>>280027570>it was really genericThat's because of two reasons:
a) The 2011 anime was aired in a Sunday morning time slot, so they purposely made everything more childish and generic;
b) Hunter x Hunter is so influential and it's been copied so much that in retrospect it feels generic. That is known as the "Seinfeld is Unfunny" effect.
If you read the manga, or watch the 1999 no filler edit, you'll see they are a lot less generic than the 2011 version.
