The Hunter X Hunter anime stopped in episode 148. I wonder why?

Is it because Hunter x Hunter is already finished?

Why did the Hunter x Hunter anime stop in episode 148?


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
(sources: [FANDOM](http://www.fandompost.com/2014/09/05/yoshihiro-togashi-
extends-hunter-x-hunter-manga-hiatus/),
[ANN-1](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-09-04/hunter-hunter-manga-
hiatus-continues-until-further-notice/.78384),
[ANN-2](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-08-28/hunter-x-hunter-manga-
extends-hiatus-at-least-1-more-week/.78119)) which have caused him numerous
_short_ breaks over the years. This illness (along with chest pains and sleep
loss) has been with him for a quite a while and may have started back when he
was still doing [Yuyu Hakusho](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YuYu_Hakusho)

These back problems, particularly in the lower back area - makes it hard for a
mangaka to deliver weekly chapters. When this condition worsened this year, he
was forced to take a hiatus. The **anime** will not progress with the
mangaka's storyline nor will it be filled with _fillers_ because Togashi would
not allow it (and frankly, it would be a waste). It is also
[rumored](http://www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHunter/comments/2hdxi8/why_cant_yoshihiro_togashi_dictate_what_happens/)
that Togashi could just ask an assistant/s to draw Hunter X Hunter with his
storyline but chooses not to for various reasons.
