<p>Hunter X Hunter Anime is not yet done. According to Togashi, he says he's on hiatus and that he's eventually continuing but the demand from the manga company is too much stress for him and he doesn't want to continue. The quota he has to fill is a chapter a week which is a lot for anyone in the manga industry.</p>

@キルア - yes, and if the time stamp is correct: the wikia post was made on March 11, 2014. This is not up to date as the latest manga hiatus was last August and HxH anime episode 148 was last September.

<p>The Hunter X Hunter anime stopped in episode 148. I wonder why? </p>

<p>Is it because Hunter x Hunter is already finished?</p>

I would wager a guess that they didn't want to continue producing it with the fact that the next chapter isn't complete and Togashi is too busy going on hiatus to actually write anything new.

Hunter X Hunter Anime is not yet done. According to Togashi, he says he's on hiatus and that he's eventually continuing but the demand from the manga company is too much stress for him and he doesn't want to continue. The quota he has to fill is a chapter a week which is a lot for anyone in the manga industry.

As what Miramiel stated, the mangaka of Hunter X Hunter, Togashi Yoshihiro is on an *indefinite* hiatus but will be back eventually.

However, it is worth nothing that the reason behind this hiatus is the mangaka's **illness**. Togashi has been experiencing serious back problems
