>>6132Madhouse I guess is a pretty good studio and HxH is always the top selling shounen at the time, when it is being made, which isn't very often and I think they were making a good amount when it was airing so they could afford whatever. It doesn't have filler arcs but it still caught up to the manga within a couple years and they had to stop airing it. The 1999 anime had a bunch of filler because it kept catching up to the manga because Togashi always goes on break. The arc after the anime ended looked really good, the dark continent one, I really hope it gets adapted sometime.
