A consequent and powerful ending

Warning: Spoilers
Like with Cowboy Bebop, Hunter x Hunter's last episode left me sitting on my couch for a while, actually not crying, but it left me sitting there in peace. Taking some deep breaths and reminding myself about what Ging just said.
"You should enjoy the little detours to the fullest. Because that's where you'll find the things more important than what you want."
I'll come back to this later, as I want to talk about the episode in general at first. It's the consequent, the logical and the much-needed final episode.
In the series, we basically participate in Gon's journey to find Ging. He does this because he wants to find his father, he wants to get to know him, he wants to share stories and memories with, he wants to learn from him - he wants his father in his life. And it's his deepest desire at the begin of his journey, so it's only logical to me, that the series ends with these two characters spending time together, up on a tree, in the wild, with these strange animals around them. It's the spirit of Hunter x Hunter and even though the setting might seem strange, it fits.
But while searching for his father, Gon also realizes that it was the way, the journey itself, that made the search so engaging and beautiful. It's what Ging tries to explain, but Gon doesn't get it at first. Ging explains again and now Gon is able to understand. The whole procedure of learning, training, getting better and improving was very important to him. It let him grow, it let him become more adult, it let him become a person, that is able to talk with Ging at least on some kind of equal standpoint, because Gon is also able to share his crazy experiences.
But there is more, as the key lies in all these friendships. Especially with Killua, to mention him first, but also Leorio and partly Kurapika (who sadly doesn't show up in the end - which is a kind of a blind spot to me). All the other comrades: Morel, Netero, Knov, Shoot, Knuckle, Palm, Ikalgo, Meleoron, Kite, Biscuit - man, I can't even stop counting. Numerous characters, to mention these of the Chimera Ant extermination team in particular, comrades, friends, etc. - all of them taking part in Gon's life.
Gon set out alone from Whale Island. He knew almost nobody, he was kind of naive, a child - but it was at this day his journey began because he set out to meet his dad. And when they finally met it actually wasn't that special - no ! They talked about Kite ! They talked as if they knew each other for a long time ! It was the journey itself. The friendship, the suffers, the emotions, the desperation - everything, that made it so beautiful, because Gon also sacrificed so much! That is what life is. The transience of life is inevitable, which is why we can just enjoy the things while we are really experiencing them. Which is why we look back and drown in happiness because we feel that deep longing to experience these wonderful moments again.
And this is also where the whole astronomy-thing comes into play. Ging offers a new chapter for Gon. But there is no need for him to rush. New things are to come, but Ging advises Gon he should stay calm and take the time he needs. It's what we should all do in life in general and it's a beautiful ending for Hunter x Hunter. It's also a beautiful ending, which leaves a lot of space for some things to come - I mean, I'd love to see this, but the strength of it also lies in its uncertainty. A wise ending for a very mature series.

I think this ending was awesome, it answered most of the questions we had about Ging BUT it still leaves room for thought after the dialog between him and Gon. I would be happy for more episodes that could explain more about the world they live in.
This show is a masterpiece, hopefully any further episodes (if there is to be any more) does not ruin this timeless gem.
One last note: I'm mad that Hisoka never got to fight Gon/Killua, it felt like the show built that story up but to not act on it. It's maybe part of the story to never let Hisoka beat his final opponent but for him to always keep looking.

Hunter x Hunter is the best shonen of history

Coronation ending Gon finds ging but we realize that the huge world still hides dangerous things, Ging is an enigmatic character and his philosophy is incredible.
An extremely worthy open ending for the best shonen anime.
That it's a classic but still touches on deep issues and challenges the clichés of its demographic.
A before and after for this one.
A pretty decent remake.
Thank you Hunter x Hunter and Togashi for creating this great work.
Daring to have in its history Mafias, biological weapons and endless things that were not the norm in its demography or total precursor of shonen.
Series that deserves much more popularity.

Wait what about gon mother !!
But thats one way of thinking .. that is the strong people who built the graveyard and hide their secrets and money ... why on the earth would they do such a thing and go through all the trouble to built it to protect it so not anyone could enter it ?!
The best explanation is that there is some kind of benefit for them ... in any way, even if theyre loooong dead and no longer in this world
The first possible benefit is that the believe they will come back to life so thats why they have all this knowledge and money prepared
Second possible reason os that they are not dead and they just disapper and they want to guid the new generation so thay will follow their lead and meet in somewhere else .
