In the realm of entertainment, the debate surrounding Artificial Intelligence is growing increasingly contentious, and the anime industry is no exception. Voice actors from both Japan and North America have recently expressed their views on AI’s role in anime projects. A notable example can be found in the popular series “Hunter x Hunter“. The voice actor of the villainous Chrollo, Mamoru Miyano, recently discussed AI during a radio interview and is eager to dispute its potential replacement in the anime world.
Although Miyano is widely recognized for portraying Chrollo in “Hunter x Hunter,” he’s involved in much more than just that character within the anime realm. Notably, he has taken on roles like Light Yagami in “Death Note,” Michael Kaiser in “Blue Lock,” Doma in “Demon Slayer,” Gamma 2 in “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero,” and Gilthunder in “The Seven Deadly Sins.” In a recent radio discussion, Miyano expressed confidence that AI can’t replicate his voice, stating boldly, “AI won’t be able to replace my voice. If it thinks it can, then by all means, give it a try.

Hunter x Hunter’s Future
Currently, it’s uncertain when Hunter x Hunter’s anime will continue, as production company Madhouse concluded their adaptation in 2014 and no hints of a new project have been given since then, which has been more than a decade ago. Given that the manga, penned by Yoshihiro Togashi, is still being published today, there’s ample source material for another season, although it wouldn’t be surprising if a potential series chose to revisit Gon’s early adventures instead.
Just lately, the animated series “Hunter x Hunter” has been drawing a lot of interest due to its forthcoming fighting game titled “Hunter x Hunter: Nen x Impact”. As Chrollo is included in the game, it’s confirmed that Mamoru will reprise his character in this digital production. Set for release on July 17th next month, the game demonstrates that even without a current anime series, fans of “Hunter x Hunter” are eagerly awaiting more nen users to make an appearance on screen.
Regarding the manga, mangaka Yoshihiro Togashi is still producing fresh chapters, which advance the Succession Contest Arc. Recently, Kurapika has been central to the storyline, leading to a significant absence of main characters like Gon and Killua. Intriguingly, Chrollo’s long-awaited battle against Hisoka was depicted, along with the Phantom Troupe’s internal conflict, which kept fans guessing with unexpected twists.
