Yea. Very underrated show. Was overshadowed by DBZ in Japan (and the US to a lesser extent) although it was still very popular. This is one of the only anime I like.

Those who live in the Philippines can share this sentiment of mine regarding the series:
When Yu Yu Hakusho was first aired in the country (I think almost 8 years ago or more...), I liked it - as in I watched every episode. Disappointing as it may seem, but the series never got to finish. A few years later, the series' ending was shown. I was satisfied. Really.
However, a certain TV network owned YYH and hyped it like hell. Guess what? The series has been replayed for 5 TIMES already! Can you believe that? I seriously got tired of watching the series for more than 2 times for crying out loud.
No, I don't have grudges against the series, it's just that seeing it too much isn't a very good thing.

Yu Yu Hakusho was a series that definitely is done on so many levels. You've got your fighting-style anime, mixed with the drama, love, and even Yaoi-implications. One could almost say that it was the Naruto of the 1990's.
I think that one of the best things about the series was the fact that it was one of the last series that went over 100 episodes (there's 112) and was completely handdrawn. Everything has switched to digital, so seeing something done that beautifully is just amazing. =)
Not to mention that Kuwabara is so cool.

I like the fact that most of the fights are won through strategy rather than "I'm so angry for reason x that I'll gain more power!". Which means that when it does happen, it's more acceptable and dramatic.

Well, I have YYH episodes from 26 all the way to 100.
I havent been able to find anything for 100+ in a long time.
If you really want them, i could upload them somewhere(i dont have anywhere), would take some time, but it is worth it.
edit: if you go to www.majin2007.com you can find YYH episodes on Bittorrent up to 100, but there are very few seeds. Oh, btw, you need to sign up on there in order to d/l.

So i was flipping through the channels earlier and noticed that Yuyu was showing "new" episodes and then i went browseing the fourms and noticed how many people have never actually seen the end so i decided to offer a site that still has it among other anime. Beware they are a fair bit big but the best way is to break it into parts if you have a small harddrive. Anyway heres the site.

11-04-2005, 09:39 AM
its yuyu hakusho. Classic series, was the 2nd most popular airing when dragonball was around in japan. Anyway the series gets worse progressively after the Susui arc, but everything up till then was cool with it peaking around the Toguro fight. I hear the manga and anime went their seperate paths but both of them suck after that point. Togashi did the manga, also does Hunter X Hunter and is married to the lady who did Sailor Moon.

Well, I liked the Territorial/Sensui arc. But yeah, the Makai Tourney arc sucked. Although it was adapted directly from the manga.
I liked the ending though, I understand that Togashi made a really bad ending because the manga got cancelled.

we can't really blame them if the series went bad after the toguro fight... its really hard to make good stories out of the box when you make shows this long... heck i enjoyed the original Dragon ball but just like other anime which are very long, it really went bad to the end... i just hope naruto won't find itself in the same possition... cause god its already on its 158th episode... well actually the fillers are kinda bad... but i do expect it to go better when they show the continuation of the manga come april or may... ok nuff bout naruto... BOTTOM LINE IS VERY VERY LONG ANIME SERIES DO GET SUCKY TO THE END BECAUSE PEOPLE NATURALLY RUN OUT OF IDEAS... but as a whole, i have watched Yu Yu to the end... heck it was even on filipino... Yusuke was called eugene, Kuwabara-alfred, Kurama was called denis... and more they even got more cheesy names for the other characters... and I LIKED IT...

well i still like naruto... but i do agree that some things are getting redundant in the anime and the manga... though we should wait a bit more... im confident that naruto can get out of the hole it is currently in... especially with the 1 week break for the manga... i hope new material will be brought into the story... BUT... this is channel 12 XD not the naruto areas... im afraid someone might slap our asses for talking naruto shit... XD oh welll:P

The final arc wouldn't have been so horrible if they had worked out the pacing. Also would have helped if they didn't re-use plot points.
Like having yet another threat against Kurama's family, Yusuke getting his ass handed to him b/c of a lack of motivation, etc...

nevertheless, the uncensored dub is undoubtedly one of the funniest u could ever hear.

Yeah. I still remember Yusuke and Kurama's exchange during Hiei's fight in the final round of the dark tournament.
Kurama: It appears that the armor contains his power.
Yusuke: Contains his power!? Then why did he just get stronger!?
Kurama: Contain meaning holding it in.
Kurama: ...
Kurama: Definition #2
My paraphrasing may have killed the humor but it made me lol.
Kira Yamato
04-23-2006, 08:27 AM
The only thing that kind of caught me off guard about the ending was the fact that Yuskue didn't actually win the tournament. In fact the main winner was someone of little consequence. (Well, he was a friend of Rizon's and very benelovent), but you didn't really expect him to win. The ending felt a little underwheliming, especially when they were back on earth. It felt like they were getting ready to put a puppy to sleep for good when they did the last epsiode :cry
Although I have to admit I like the fact that he ended up with Kyouko :amuse

I've watched the Toonami and the Funimation uncut dub and other than a few choice words difference in the dialouge :wink and a little more blood their wasn't much difference. YYH, is one of the few series were the dub VA's did a pretty good job.
Raistlin-sama
04-23-2006, 11:25 AM
YYH is alright. By no means a favorite of mine, but it was an enjoyable watch.
It does have a couple of issues, and I won't consider it one of the best shounen-series out there (I'd say it's around the same level as Naruto - mediocre to slightly above average).
If you're looking for an anime with a style reminding of YYH, but with better execution I'd recomend Hunter X Hunter. It's by the same mangaka, and I think it's very apparent that he has evolved since YYH.
so yeah it already sucks, and the manga is going to be shit aswell, so to bad things for that series, owell point is Yu Yu hakusho to me owned, best anime pre 1995.
I disagree. I can find lot of shows prior to 1995 that owns YYH. I'll name them on request, however there's no reason to go completely of-topic by making a huge-ass list that noone cares about.

I haven't seen the HxH anime, but doesn't HxH also end abruptly?
I <3 Yu Yu Hakusho! It's the only anime that has a satisfactory last episode, imo.

The TV-series (62 episodes) ends rather abruptly. However it is continued through OVAs (3 OVAs, 8 + 8 + 14 episodes), and right now there is one more manga-arc still going on that has not been animated.
Whether a new OVA will be made for the current manga-arc is still unknown as of right now.

I agree with you on this one, because I've seen a lot of dubed anime that had really bad voice actors.
I reckon they did a great job in matching Yusuke's, Kurama's, Hiei's and Kurabawa's voices in the dubbed. I thought that it really matched their personalities.

Yeah, it was also one of the first shonen series (other than DBZ) that I had gotten into. Yuskue's voice especially was done well although Kurabawa's voice took some getting use to, but it eventually grew on me as well :amuse
Ohter than this show, FMA and FLCL are the only other series where the dub did a pretty good job on VA's. The ending of YYH was a bit weak considering the other arcs were really well done (Dark Tournament and even the Chapter Black Saga/Psychics), but overall this was one of my favorite series.

More than that, the ending was crap compared to the rest of the series. Basically, the show went downhill when
Yusuke became a demon. And not just because he was a demon, but also the way he was brought into the demon world and stuff.

I don't mind the part where he became a demon. I enjoyed that actual aspect. Especially the fight with Sensui *nice twist* and it also tested Sensui's beliefs. However, I wasn't a fan of the whole 3 kings arc and Rizon. I mean I ended up being more confused then ever about demons and such. The only part I did like was the fact that Yuskue lost :ninja

Really, they couldn't have made a better choice. Best to make Yuyu remembered as a great anime that finished than to make it remembered as a great anime that finished poorly.
The guy that recruited Kurama was blind but had amazing hearing. Rurouni Kenshin did a hell of a lot more with a blind guy than Yuyu did. Twice. It didn't change his fighting style, or anything. Oh yeah, his name was Youmi.
Youmi's son was the most worthless character ever. Even more than Bulma's and Vegeta's daughter. I don't recall it even showing any character development for the two.
Hiei chopped a guy's head in half, and he reappeared later with no explaination. I mean, if they said his injury isn't lethal for the kind of demon he is, and he regrew his head, fine. If they said he was restored by the female King, fine. But they didn't say anything, and he had no scar. Plus, he supposedly committed suicide after losing to Kurama. Now he can suddenly die from a fall?
Nobody won the last fight they were shown in except Kurama, and that's because he planted seeds in that exact spot, on top of a mushroom shaped mountain in the middle of nowhere, years ago, and was able to use them at this point. Everyone else except Hiei and Yusuke were pathetic.
The most random guy becomes King.
Whatever happened to Kuwabara's Double Spirit Sword? Was that filler?

The ending just didn't feel right and the whole 3 Kings Arc didn't feel fully flushed out because there were so many unanswered questions. There were certain aspects of the last arc that I did like, but it's more of a personal preference *who I wanted to see win/lose :kukuku*
But overall, if they could have ended the series with the Dark Tournament. >_>

@MegaManMario: The reason Kuwabara's attitude change was probably a combination of factors. First off, school-wise he had more potential than Yuskue :P
And he had his sister on his case all the time, not to mention he probably wanted to be a better person for Yukina :shifty
And you could tell that whole tough guy act was merely a facade. I mean he had a certain code he lived by, but it was very honorable, so I could imagine him only fighting when he needed to and not for the sake of fighting.

I am by far one of the biggest fans of this show but no way can they get above 10 for each arc, only arc that could do that would be Dark Tournament since it was so well done and showed almost every fight.
Spirit Detective Saga - 7.5/10 - It leaned on funny more then action. I loved the battle with the saint beast, those were good but before that it was OK.
Dark Tournament - 11/10 - I can't tell you how glad i was to watch this arc. Long, Great, and some of teh best action and character devolpment all around.
Chapter Black - 9.5/10 - I really enjoyed all the little test and then the big fight with sensiu. I couldn't believe how well it was done especially his *Spoiler* Death.
3 Kings - 7/10 - Not great but it had it's moments. Kurama's fight was OK while Hiei's was nicly doen *hate him :P* and Yusuke was great as usually.
So yeah i didn't enjoy the ending TO much but it was good enough and i really loved the series in total, this IS my Fav. Anime.
I've seen every episode up the end of the Chapter Black arc. For some reason Toonami decided not to show it any more and moved it to 5 am. I'll try DL the episodes when I have some time.

I loved the Chapter Black saga. I am a fan of Shinobu Sensui. He was very powerful and he could be an outcome of Yusuke down the road but that won't happen. The whole twist with the Sensui vs. Yusuke fight was kinda DBZ-ish and how they ended the fight was alright but it was a good introduction to the Three Kings Saga.

Ahh good old Yu Yu Hakusho...I remember watching this on toonami back in the day. It was my replacement for DBZ once I discovered it. Of course this show was in turn replaced by Rurouni Kenshin when I saw it on Toonami.
I still enjoy watching the Dark Tournament arc though.

The way CN secretly aired the last season of YYH, makes me wonder if they aired new Rouroni Kenshin episodes and just didn't do a good job of advertising it. Maybe it was being shown around 4:00am on a tuesday morning and nobody was aware :P

One of the best anime I've seen. If not one of the best, one of my favorite. The fights drew me in and the characters made me fall in love with the anime.
I'm sure there were many edits...but in spite of that, still a great anime.
KuwabaraTheMan
05-01-2006, 12:42 AM
Yu Yu Hakusho is one of my all time favorite anime. Kuwabara is my personal favorite, but everyone is awesome.
And it has in my opinion the greatest dub ever. Seriously, I watch it over the Japanese version, its so awesome. All the voices are perfect(they took about 10 episodes to get into character at the start of the show, but once they got into it they were great), and the dialogue was awesome.
And when Yusuke said goodbye to Keiko before going to the Demon World I couldn't stop crying. That's the saddest episode of any anime ever(narrowly topping the Card Captor Sakura episode where Touya gives up his powers to save Yukito and Sakura has the talk with Yukito).
The Sensui Arc is the best, and Sensui is probably the greatest villain ever. All of the 7 were great too(well, aside from Gourmet).
Kurama vs Karasu uncut is probably the most brutal fight I've ever seen, I actually had to turn away from the TV screen briefly. Yeah anime like Bleach can throw in tons of blood to unrealistic degrees, but they'll never be able to capture the brutality of that fight, ever.
And while the final arc had its weakpoints, it brought back the character oriented episodes. But it had no Kuwabara.:cry
Also, Yukina never got real resolution. It hinted that she knew, but there should have been more.
Seriously, this show was so awesome.

Gouki, Hiei(twice), Doctor(one of the best fights in the series), Sniper.
He and Kuwabara also took on those 3 subordinates of Toguro(forget their names), and the Toguro Brothers.

Yeah, I love how the villains in YYH are not stereotypical at all... several of them would be better classified as fallen heroes.
Also, Yukina never got real resolution. It hinted that she knew, but there should have been more.
You know, I think leaving that open might be more of a strength than a weakness. You'd have expected Hiei to tell her eventually, but he never does. It's a bit more powerful like that...

Well, I'm talking Yusuke solo. Yeah, there's Gouki and Hiei (who never went full demon form again, other than the movie) and Doctor. But the second "fight" with Hiei doesn't count much. It wasn't as serious as the first fight. Sniper... I guess.

The hell? Becuase I loved Kuwabara's fights with Toguro and Mitari I know nothing about Yu Yu Hakusho? Yu Yu Hakusho is one of my favorite anime, and Kuwabara is my favorite character. And the Byakko fight was probably the worst of all his fights, in my opinion.
Byakko was too drawn out of a fight, and he wasn't a very good character to begin with. The fight against Risho was decent, but it doesn't compare to the two I mentioned.
The fight against Elder Toguro was just awesome. It was a great, desperate fight, especially with Kuwabara learning about Genkai's death in the worst way possible. And Toguro was such a jack ass that you were rooting so hard for Kuwabara to own him(and he did, although Toguro came back).
His fight with Mitari was great because it was a conflict of ideals, and we saw Kuwabara's strong will and dedication to his values win over Mitari's mind, which had been swayed by Sensui. Seeing him fight desperately to protect his friends, and struggling with his current loss of powers was a very powerful scene.
Compared to Byakko who was just a big idiot with no relevance to Kuwabara at all.

Fine 10/10 is the least Three Kings could get. The Japanese voice actors are horrible (not relevant,but whatever). And to that other guy, I wasn't even rooting for Kuwabara that fight. It was horrible, I wanted to see Elder Toguro win so Kuwabara could shut the hell up and Yusuke would have got pissed and beat Kuwabara more (if he wasn't already dead from Elder fight).
I've seen the anime at 4 and read the manga at 5.
Jigen Tou (Dimensional Sword) is horrible. Spirit Fly Swatter is by far the best Kuwabara move if I had to choose (despite hating that fight. So that renders Mitari's fight useless since that move is horrible.

Finally finished the series at last. Stupid Toonami for moving it to 5 am. :notrust
I don't see why everybody doesn't like the Three Kings arc. It was a little short and some of the characters could have been put to better use, but I thought it was pretty good. Yusuke's and Hiei's fights were awesome. Kuruma's would have been better if he went into his Yoko form. I wanted to see him own that doctor who's supposed to be dead.
I thought taking down the barrier between the human and demon world was kinda stupid. After Sensui tried so hard to try to break the barrier just to get sealed up again, spirit world decides to take it down.
The last episode was great. It had a nice ending which I felt satisfied at.
In the end YYH is a great series.
Also, I liked Keiko better with short hair.

Hiei would have been dead if it was a real battle. Yuske would be another story. Remember he could have died earlier, because Rizon's power wasn't strong eough in the beggining. That's why it didn't come out the first time when he died and had to go through that whole ordeal with the spirit egg.
After his battle with Tougro and the psychics in the chapter Black saga, he finally gained enough power where if he died Rizon's power can finnaly be released within him. But if it was pre-Dark Tournament Yuske he would have been dead >_>

Sensui is one of my fav characters in the series.
Too bad, he was screwed over by the plot of the next arc. I wish he went further into his training and what he meant by "I did these[scars] to myself."
Two parts that I digged Sensui for was when he was on the truck and Yusuke sent a huge Spirit Gun blast and Sesnui sent his attack and popped it. Than the fight against Yusuke. Sensui unlocks the sacred energy and time goes slowmo and Kuwabara slics through the space contraption and Sensui extends his finger and kills Yusuke. Than he flies away into the portal and rapes Hiei, Kuwabara, and Kuruma.
Sensui's intro was great, too. This scene not exact but trying from rememberance.
Yusuke: Hey, mind reader. Think you find Sesnui?
MindReaderDude: I'll try. *reads minds*
Sensui's Head: Kill...Kill...Kill them all...

Yeah, but Sensui was so set in his ways that he couldn't believe proplr could be like that so he lumped all humans together as evil.
Just how like he use to believe all demons were bad. He just couldn't think outside the box. He believed in Black and White with no gray in-between

Sensui could've been Yusuke's future self. If had not that Yusuke's father was a Demon King and without his friends, Yusuke would probably lead down to Sensui's path. And in the end, Sensui was right. The Spirit world was corrupt and that Koemna's father was pulling all the strings with all of Yusuke's 'enemies.'
Sensui's VA ruled in the sub and dub, something YYH couldn't do with most of the characters.

Yuskue was never as rigid as Sensui. If he was he would have never teamed up with Hiei and Karama. Yuske managed to make friends and form bonds with them as friends, where Sensui would have never done such a thing.
Yuske knows that humans and demons can be good and evil. That's why I couldn't imangine him falling into the same path as Sensui.
Sensui was plagued by demons at a very youn age and formed a deep hatred of them while Yuske was basically unaware of such things until he was killed and became a spirit detective.

EBAY is one option, but I got most of my episodes through bittorrent (1-25, 67-94, 95-112)
For episodes 26-66, I got them from animeupload. It's in rmvb format. So, if you have a real player then you're fine. Plus, they're like 60mb each, so they're really small. The only drawback is that they're not dual audio, so, if your fine with only english, then it's okay to get those epsiodes from there.

Seriously thios anime has a lot of parallels. I don't know if you've seen the entire series but they are the same on so many levels.

Anti-social hero.
~They seem rough on the outside but are really caring individuals.
~Both of their fathers are hiding big secrets about their pasts.
~Both are half part of what they're suppose to hunt down (Ichigo--half Hallow and Yuske is half-Demon).

Of course it's different, but they have some of the basic elements that made each series great.

One thing i am pissed at, i wanted Hiei to tell his sister about their relation to each other, he finished the sameway he came somewhat, though he more at ease it would have been good for him to go off with his sister.

I preferred the Sensui arc a bit more than the Dark Tournament arc, because the saga with the psyhics involved a bit more strategy and thinking while the Dark Tournament was more about power. Yeah, the Dark Tourny had cool twists and it was awesome how the odds always managed to be stacked against team Uremeshi, but I liked the Psychics saga because of the strategies needed to employed to defeat the enemy (i.e Karuma defeating one of Genkai's psychics w/o non-violent means totally owned)

No problem. The series apparently isn't over yet. It's now into OVA mode with 3 sets already out.
First it starts out with 62 episodes (roughly 3 seasons) then it moves on to the OVAs:
OVA 1 (8 episodes)
OVA 2 (8 episodes)
OVA 3 (14 episodes)
Who knows when this series will end O_O
I have a feeling it's going to go way past the 112 episodes YYH has gone to.
And if you noticed the creator of both series always make the villains somewhat sympathetic. I.E. Sensui and Toguro
They may have been the villains, but in some ways you kinda feel sorry for them and in some instances believe it wasn't really there fault that their situation turned out like how it did.

Nah..it's a type of attack that utilizes a person "Nen" it
It's kind of hard to explain it, but Wiki does a great of explaining it in detail. It's way more detailed than YYH energy types (i.e. Spirit, demon and sacred energy)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nen
The best place to search on that page is the "Basic Nen Techniques" section
you'll also notice that anime like YYH, DBZ, naruto, Bleach and Sain Seyia are also mentioned in describing that kind of energy.

I prefered the Sensui section as it seemed like more was at stake, the last section seemed a little light hearted though it was a great way to close the series of, my only dispointment is Hiei and his sister, though i will settle with the idea he told her about 5 years down the line when he comes in a kuwabaras brother in law. big-smile.
I haven't watched HxH but i have read the manga, do you know a place where i can get the eps, might be much but similar quality to YYH i have been watching, personally i have heard people say HxH is better that YYH, but personally i prefer YYH, in my opinion it could have gone on at least another 50 episodes, i guess the author chose not to milk it.

@Gunners:
When I reccommend YYH to my friends I always tell them how I have a hard time deciding which arc is better (Toguro or Sensui), but I always lean more towards the Sensui/Chapter Black arc because it's more of a mental mind game combined with high level action an some shocking revelations (i.e. Yuske being part demon)
As for HXH, it starts off slower than YYH, but the latter part of the series is much more better than YYH in my opinion. And that's a hard thing to admit since YYH is one of my top 5 favorite anime of all time.
I got my episodes (1-62) from NF Plus.

If he ever wanted to continue i'd jump for joy :P I'd love to see more Yu Yu Hakusho and to be honest Yusuke had to be my FAV. Main character ever, luffy close behind and guts and inchigo tied. I usually dislike main characters like Naruto and Tai *From Digimon* and so on but Yusuke was just great. He wasn't this gentel guy trying to do everything right like goku. No he was a guy looking to kick some demon ass and that made him so fucking cool.
I love his atitdude and him and kawbara made some great conversations but the best came when hiei and Kawabra would argue, i'd die laughing somtimes. Kurama was one of my fav. metrosexual characters. His attacks were awsome, fucking plants to use as some of the most deadly attacks ever created? Just wow, now i know where "law of Ukie" got some of it's ideas.
So what was your fav attack in the whole show? Mine would prob. be Spirit shotgun or spirit gun. I also loved Yoko Kurama death plant. Oh and Hiei's black dragon was nothing to short of fucking awsome. Kawabara lacked in the moves but his personality and funniness made up for it.

I found the series was well balanced. Although the 3 kings saga surprised me, because I didn't think it would it would have such a nice resolution, not to mention the outcome of the eventual winner.
The Sensui arc, was kick-ass, and the climax was the Yuske/Sensui fought after he gained his demon powers, and let's not forget when Rizon took over...I still remembered the music being played as Rizon/Yuske was kicking Sensui's ass. :pleased
The Toguro fight arc was cool as well, becasue of all the cool an interesting teams they had to fight against. Sometimes, there were handicaps, such as a member or two not being able to fight and sometimes, the battle strategies (i.e. kurama planting that seed within his opponent :S)
Both series were the pinnacle of YYH. Sure the other arcs were great as well, but the middle two (Sensui and Toguro) were just plain awesome.
And whenever you guys get to HXH, try to get past episode 10 before making a decision about the series. Like I said, the series kinda starts off slow, but really picks up once the Hunter exams start (and how the exams look awfully familiar) coughchuninexamscough, HXH anime started in 1999, so you know which series copied which :wink

Though that arc had ended in a plot-hole. With bringing Yusuke back to life only to be revived to S-Class and we don't even see Sesnui's personalties animated, which we coan only read in the manga. Though, Sensui was defeated by a Youkai which he dreamed to happen.
The Toguro fight arc was cool as well, becasue of all the cool an interesting teams they had to fight against. Sometimes, there were handicaps, such as a member or two not being able to fight and sometimes, the battle strategies (i.e. kurama planting that seed within his opponent :S)
I loved that arc, too. Especially the first Toguro borthers encounter with the Spirit Gun and Spirit Sword combo. Than after they all left the Toguro brothers had woken up. Than the younger Toguro meets Yusuke on his motorcycle and creeps the hell-out of Yusuke.
The handicaps were interesting all except the two fights in a row. Team Masho was the shizznat but they had so much potential only to get beaten by a few good movies and inspiration. The last two fights with Team Yusuke were....godly.
With Hiei defeating that weapon guy in a few moments, than that raised a lot of issues since he was black and people thought Togashi was racist. Than Hiei fought the bird guy and finally unleases the Dragon inside his body going insane. Than Genkai releasing some pwnage on that blue-haired guy.
The final fight was great with the gignatic axe guy taking off his arm since its to protect the people from him and how Hiei unleashed the dragon on him and he was still able to live. The bomb guy was just weird and I am glad Kuruma ridded him. The Yusuke fight was great, when Kuwabara was supposely killed by Toguro and Yusuke went berserk.

^Yeah i love that last attack.
Kira one more thing about HxH has it officly ended or what? Friend said it's over for good but you said "Who knows when it's going to end".
I haven't seen the final OVA set, so it would be hard for me to comment, but based on the story arc it shouldn't be the final episode...then again the creator hasn't been feeling well =/
Though that arc had ended in a plot-hole. With bringing Yusuke back to life only to be revived to S-Class and we don't even see Sesnui's personalties animated, which we coan only read in the manga. Though, Sensui was defeated by a Youkai which he dreamed to happen.
.
I never read the manga. But I guess that would be a problem in that situation.
I loved that arc, too. Especially the first Toguro borthers encounter with the Spirit Gun and Spirit Sword combo. Than after they all left the Toguro brothers had woken up. Than the younger Toguro meets Yusuke on his motorcycle and creeps the hell-out of Yusuke.
yeah, I remember that attack. It freakin own'd. Too bad Toguro was only using a miniscule fraction of his power during that episode :P
The handicaps were interesting all except the two fights in a row. Team Masho was the shizznat but they had so much potential only to get beaten by a few good movies and inspiration. The last two fights with Team Yusuke were....godly.
I so need to rewatch the tournament episodes over again. It's been a while now xD
But some of the more memorable matches were againt Jin's team and Toguro's team.
As for the Handicapp, I keep remembering how mad I was that they kept getting screwed, that I had to keep reminding myself it was just a show :rotfl
*still remembers the match Kuwabara won because of his love for Yukina* I laughed so hard after that fight xDD
With Hiei defeating that weapon guy in a few moments, than that raised a lot of issues since he was black and people thought Togashi was racist. Than Hiei fought the bird guy and finally unleases the Dragon inside his body going insane. Than Genkai releasing some pwnage on that blue-haired guy.
Wow, I never even considered that. To me it was just Hiei taking out some weakling. I didn't even realize the person was black because it happened so quickly O_O
And the first time Hiei unleasehed the Flame was so badass. I mean, it was against supposedly the team leader and he wasted him in no time at all O_O
And Genkai in her young form so pwn'd. It also reminds me of the ordeal Yuske had to go through in order to take in her power.
The final fight was great with the gignatic axe guy taking off his arm since its to protect the people from him and how Hiei unleashed the dragon on him and he was still able to live. The bomb guy was just weird and I am glad Kuruma ridded him. The Yusuke fight was great, when Kuwabara was supposely killed by Toguro and Yusuke went berserk.
LOL...kurama killing his opponent and still losing was awesome xDD
As for Yuske tapping into his power after Kuwabara supposed death...I knew taht was inevitable, but sacraficing himself against Sensui to awaken his friends powers was even more badass =O

On the other hand it was a positive reaction it showed that you binded with the show. I felt a moments that Yusuke's team was getting screwed over each match since Koenma didn't work with the corrupt owners and save them from this mess.
Wow, I never even considered that. To me it was just Hiei taking out some weakling. I didn't even realize the person was black because it happened so quickly O_O
That was the ideal thought. But some people had thought he was black/brown and thought Togashi was taking a cheap shot at blacks against whites. Its an overlooked situtation but the scary thing was a decent amount of people understood what had happened in a racist-style view. :S
And the first time Hiei unleasehed the Flame was so badass. I mean, it was against supposedly the team leader and he wasted him in no time at all O_O
Hiei released it the first time on the fire guy and scared the living shit out of him and than killed him since only special attacks could damage the fire guy.
And Genkai in her young form so pwn'd. It also reminds me of the ordeal Yuske had to go through in order to take in her power.
I can picture Toguro during that fight being like 'I'd still hit that' XD
Overall, it was a kickass as anime/manga series and a terrible gaming series. I should pick up the season collection, the onyl DVD's I have are the Sensui vs. Yusuke fight, Intro to the Three Kingdoms, and the first few episodes.

I still have that YYH PS2 fighting game sitting on my shelf. Never liked it -___-
And I'm a bad fan since I haven't bought any pf the DVD's but I all of the episodes through other means :wink
The only YYH dvd I have is the movie (which is awesome btw). But it stops during a certain scene when I play it. I'm guessing it's because I scratched it or something. :cry

It's true it happens outside the timeline but it's still an awesome movie. Though the dub movie voices are different from the series dub. o_0

Well the movie storyline is basically the bad guy trying to take over world and Yusuke and co. trying to stop him. But the interesting thing about the bad guy is thathe was the king of the Netherworld.

Though the first few DBZ movies were godly: Broly, Cooler, Bardock, etc.
I haven't seen the movies, it got decent reviews it just that I have been too lazy to pick it up. Its going to be weird finishing the show seeing all of tem be S-Class and than see them as they were B and C-Class.
The video game, Dark Tournament, was terrible. Clunky fighting, terrible controls, and bad fighting arenas plagued the game. It was great on how they put the episode titles with the weird music and actually took clips from the anime. It had the right motive but the game tried to hard not to be a Budokai rip-off. If the game had a similar Budokai gameplay, I think the game would've done MUCH better.
Wouldn't it be Japanese versus Black :P
Did any of the YYH characters look Japanese? XD
That scene in HxH was amazing since it showed how badass and powerful Hisoka was.

Yeah, they tried to tie it to the anime as much as possible, but the game mechanics doomed it to failure. Maybe if the controls were simiiar to Budokai 3, it may have done slightly better.

True, Hisoka is very badass. But the guy still very much puzzles me, in keeping certain people like Gon alive but killing others without hesitation strong or weak.

Wow, and the weird part is that the series didn't get good until the darl tournament which started in episode 26. That's not saying the earlier episodes weren't good, but YYH made it's name in the the Dark Tournament (epi 26-66) and the Psyhics Saga (epi 67-94)

Kuwabara and Yuske shine during the two middle sagas (well in the Psychics Saga not so much Kuwabara >_>). I like the begining Sagas, because they kind of develops those two alot and their interactions with Kurama and Hiei.

Yeah, the saint beast arc was pretty good and gave me a reason to actually like Kuwabara as a fighter.
As for Yu Yu Hakusho being better than Bleach I have to hold off my verdict until the Bleach series is over, but if we're asking which anime had the best arc thus far, I have to say YYH (Chapter Black/Sensui Arc) :noworry

Chapter Black to me seriously is one of the best arc's every in a anime. I mean othere animes have those arcs but YYH Chapter Black has one of the best arcs IMO. Bleach is great, i like it alot, but it just doesn't have the same feeling as when i watched/watch Yu Yu :)

Hey, I'm a Bleacher so you don't have to tell me how much Bleach rocks :P
but the Chapter Black arc was pretty good because it managed a great blend of action and mind games. Not to mention the not so typical villain with a very interesting set of personalities to boot. Plus, who would have thunk that Kurama owning somebody by making them laugh would make for such a very interesting episode.
And what about Yuske and the Sniper fight or chase...depending on how you viewed it xD
And the most disturbing villain was Doctor :iik
I mean that guy gave me chills >_<

Sometimes I think I'm the only person that didn't care for the Sensui stuff. I really liked the stuff up till the end of the Dark Tournament. I haven't watched YYH in years, so maybe someday I'll go back and rewatch it.. who knows after all these years maybe my opinnion of it'll have changed.
Kira Yamato
07-26-2006, 11:21 PM
I was the type of person whose interest grew and peaked during the Dark Tournament and Sensui Arcs. The beggining felt kind of slow and while I enjoyed the character development during the Saint Beast saga, I wasn't impressed with the overall story, so I was always teethering up until the dark tournament, which I loved., The Sensui arc managed to seal the deal for me ^_^
The 3 kings Saga was...errh...okay :oh
Arazial
07-26-2006, 11:24 PM
Yeah I personally didn't care for the 3 kings stuff myself. I had a hard time getting into the new characters (didn't feel there was enough development) and the only thing I liked was the surprising tournament results.
Kira Yamato
07-26-2006, 11:35 PM
The tournament results had me reeling. I couldn't believe it, but that's what was the few saving grace of the final saga.
The oly thing I found interesting was that the tournament was more peaceful than the Dark Tournament, which was quite ironic since it took place in demon world. I guess they are more civil than humans :-(

The Psychics were: Gatekeeper, Sniper, Doctor, Seaman (:rotfl), Gourmet, Game Master.
Doctor creeped me out the most, and is the only one I wanted to die a very painful death. Everyone else was just annoying O_O
The doctor's reasoning for doing what he does made me sick to my stomach.
meh..Yuske technically did kill him but Genkai revived him...I remember Doctor mentioning that the only way to release the territory would be to kill him. Especially since he ahd the ability to make himself invulnerable to pain.

P.S. i watched that ep last night, man i forgot how bad yusuke punchs the shit out of doctor when the doctor says "Your friend will die in 30 minutes, haha"
*Yusuke dashes towards him*
"Don't talk about them!"
*Forty punchs to the stomach, face, everywhere, doctor breaks though the door*
"You don't know them you good for nothing piece of shit" - Yusuke
^Why the series owns :)

Yeah, Sleep Doctor Sleep was the appropriate title for the episode. And at least in the dub version it said "Go to hell" as he punced him out the window xDD

The quality defintely improved towards the latter episodes. I remember reccommending the title to a friend of mines who at first complained about the animation quality early on. I never had a problem with it but he did. Well, about teh time the Dark Tournament arc started he realized that the animation had improved but most importantly so did the storyline.

Jea, it started off more of a comedy/mystery series but as it went on it became a kick ass martial arts/super natural series. I didn't see it comming to be honest but so glad it did. Dark Tournament was my fav. Tournament in ANY anime :)
Kira Yamato
07-27-2006, 02:07 PM
Yeah, when I first started watching this series, I thought it would be along the line of Yuske trying to solve cases that spirit world handed to him. Just like he did with the 3 artifacts, but quickly evolved into something much more interesting. Everything before hand was just build up to get to the really nitty gritty, which was basically the world is in great peril of forces that want to destroy it on a very grandoise scale.
And the tournament episodes were always great. Although the Dark Tournament> Demon world Tourny v_v
It's just like HXH started out a bit of mystery and mental mind games, but somewhere near the middle of the series, it quickly evolved into a a series with fast paced action and martial arts.
That's probably the creator's style when making these type of genres. You can see some of the influences of YYH on HXH.
