Why did the Hunter x Hunter anime stop in episode 148? The Hunter X Hunter anime stopped in episode 148. I wonder why? 

Is it because Hunter x Hunter is already finished?
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.
