Product Description

Episode 1 - Surprised To Be Dead Fourteen-year-old Yusuke Urameshi is having a typical day. He's cutting class at school, having arguments with his teachers, and getting into fistfights with his rival Kuwabara. Hey - when you're the toughest kid in town, you have a reputation to maintain! But then Yusuke does something that betrays his killer rep. He dives in front of a speeding car to push a little boy out of harm's way! Yusuke makes the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of another, but is it really time for this brash young man's life to come to an end? Episode 2 - Koenma Appears Pulled by the sprightly, pink-robed Botan, Yusuke enters a realm that is not quite normal - Spirit World. There, Yusuke meets Koenma, a 700 year-old ruler with the body of a toddler, pacifier and all! But there's no room for laughs, as Koenma gives Yusuke an ordeal to restore his life. Hatching a Spirit Beast! Episode 3 - Kuwabara: A Promise Between Men The same age as Yusuke and a fellow fighter, Kuwabara was tormented by his rival's death. The loser in all 156 of his brawls against Yusuke, he's now lost any chance he ever had of evening the score! But with Yusuke out of the way, Kuwabara is the new kid to beat, which means he's making plenty of enemies. Yusuke isn't fond of this classmate, but if he wants to win back his life, he'll need to give him a ghostly hand. Episode 4 - Requirements for Lovers Spirit World forgot an important question - does anyone want Yusuke back? Koenma sends an Investigator to find out, and Yusuke's friends answer quickly when a fire threatens to char his earthly body. But will Yusuke give up the Spirit Beast, his one chance of reviving, to rescue his friends?

Amazon.com

Fourteen-year-old Yusuke Urameshi is a juvenile delinquent in the making: crude, rude, and interested only in fighting, especially with his rival Kuwabara. When Yusuke is killed saving a little boy from a speeding car, he's given another chance by Koenma, the son of the ruler of the Spirit World. If Yusuke properly nurtures a "spirit egg," it will hatch into a benevolent beast that will help him return to his body; but too much negative energy will produce a monster that will devour him. Botan, the pretty pilot of the River Styx, and Koenma's agent Sayaka supervise Yusuke's clumsy attempts to communicate with Kuwabara and Kayko, the girl he secretly loved. His efforts invariably lead to fist fights, and the opening of this popular series plays like a cross between Dragon Ball Z and a minor Frank Capra movie. Rated 13 Up: Minor risqué humor, cartoon violence; alcohol and tobacco use. --Charles Solomon

    Yusuke Urameshi is a high school delinquent. He doesn't go to class, and he's always getting in fights. One day he is trying to save a boy that is about to be hit by a car, he is killed instead. He is approached by a pretty girl flying on a broom. Her name is Botan, and she's the Grimm Reaper.She offers him a chance to regain his life. After coming back to life Yusuke becomes a Spirit Detective. He gain spiritual powers and hunts down rogue apparitions that cause trouble for the living world. He is joined by his friend Kuwabara, the demons Hiei and Kurama. Together they fight off the deadly demons that seek to destroy the world.

    This is a great series. It has lots of cool characters, good animation, voice acting, and a very engrossing story. It's a very long anime, so if you want to watch it be prepared to like it and spend a long time with it. It's one of those that gets more interesting as it progresses. Even though it has a bang up start it maintains the flow throughout. I would even go so far as to say that it's one of the most famous anime series' of all time. It has a bit of a Dragonball Z vibe to it, and everyone likes that. I highly recommend Yu Yu Hakusho to every anime fan, it's simply amazing.

    I am pissed. For not knowing about Yu Yu Hakusho until March 27, 2004. I have been missing out for years not knowing about this great anime series. This is my only and first Yu Yu Hakusho DVD that I saw and it was the MOST entertaining anime that I had ever seen! This is one of the best or possibly THE BEST anime out there. You might not agree but if you take the time a look at this anime series, you will know what I exactly mean. This anime has a great story line. It's about a 14 year boy (forgot the name because I only had it for two days) who dies trying to save a kid from a car. Later, he realizes that he had became a ghost and has to do good in order to come back to life. I'm not going to go too much into the story. I thought the idea was great and the execution was even better. I only saw it four times but I really enjoyed it. At first, it was kind of hard to understand the story but after the second time, I started to get the story. You know, it's funny how those Japanese people come up with those crazy ideas for catoons and games (Prince of Mononoke, Spirited Away, Dragonball Z, Inu Yasha, Arc the Lad, Ranma, Street Fighters, Silent Hill, and Clock Tower just to name a few) but this one is just totally amazing. I didn't enjoy an anime this mush since the first Pokemon days (after the Pokemon Journey, it got wierd). Well, at least now I know about Yu Yu Hakusho and I'm going to try to get all the DVD. I definitly recommend it and even though my review wasn't helpful, you should try renting it from a library, Hollywood Videos, or Blockbuster and then say something about my review.

    I'm really praying this American release lives up to it's greatness. YYH is a great anime. I have seen about 30eps fansubbed, and refuse to watch the Cartoon Network dubbed version. Though some might not quite get how the main character is dead from the start, it all works out. ^.^()

    For the boys there's plenty of fighting, cursing, and some cute girl characters. For the girls, there's Kurama. He's a nice, polite, foxy (literally ^.^) bishonen. Oh yeah, and he still kicks butt - he just does it with roses.

    Oh, and there's the one known as the "Vegeta-wannabe", Hiei. He's a fire demon with a big attitude problem.

    And behind all the fights and tournaments each character's heart breaking past is shown. It's a little like DBZ - but the fights aren't as long and are certainly much cooler. And the style is more pleasing to the girls fans use to, say, Sailor Moon or Card Captors.

    Yu-Yu Hakusho... In early 2002, or so, I believe it was, maybe 2001, this show was aired on Adult Swim and Toonami, and though, they only showed 20 something episodes back then, they started showing up to the Dark Tournament sometime in 2004, I believe, maybe started mid 2003, but... Lol, my memory is fading, it seems. Anyway... I saw that they were releasing the Import boxset in English on a website, and so I bought 2 sets of it, containing episodes: 1-50 on 6 discs (uncut), which was great, but... It didn't end the Dark Tournament, then, back in 2004, they released a 3rd boxset, containing episodes: 51-78, which ended the Dark Tournament, and started the Chapter Black Saga. After witnessing all of the Dark Tournament, which is my favorite Saga in the Series, I REALLY began to love this show A LOT. I liked it before, but far from how much I love it now. At any rate, the Series' Storyline is superb, and the action is grand. So, the bottom line is: if you like action Anime, but not brainless, no reason violence, with an excellent Storyline, then, I suggest you give this Anime a try. T-O-G-U-R-O; Toguro, yes, Toguro. Man... Team Toguro -- Ultimate. As for my age rating for this Anime: 16+/R (Graphic Violence, Gore, Profanity, Sexual Situations, and Adult Complex Themes). One of the Animes tied in 2nd place for me.

    Pretty good start, but is it worth the commitment?
    Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2002

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    After watching a few episodes on Cartoon Network's run of Yu Yu Hakusho, I decided to pick up the first DVD volume and give it a shot. And for the most part, I'm very pleased with this purchase! And if you are wondering, this disc is uncut, and contains both an English and Japanese audio track. Yu Yu Hakusho (YYH) hasn't really presented itself as being a ground breaking so far, but what it does offer is some good characters in a variety of fun situations. As with most series, the first few episodes introduce us to the characters and let us get to know the world they inhabit.

    Of course, when the lead character dies in the first episode, you know something's up! I won't go into the details of the story, but a synopsis is due. Yusuke is somewhat of an outcast who doesn't really display a care for anything. The only thing he seems good at is beating up on other middle school gangs. But one day, he saves a kid from being hit by a car, only to have himself hit instead! Now, our anti-hero lead is stuck between Heaven and Hell as a ghost since the higher beings don't know what to make of him. He is then offered a chance to return back to life, which is all well and good, except that Yusuke doesn't really care to go back. That is until he realizes how many people truly cared for him. And so the tale unfolds.

    YYH showcases a good mixing of several different genres; everything from fighting, supernatural and even some good old-fashion romance. YYH also borrows some aspects heavily from Dragonball Z. I personally do not care much for DBZ (though I do thoroughly enjoy the earlier part of Dragonball), but I found myself warming up a bit more to this series.

    I found myself liking the character designs as they remind me of older series from the 80s. A good break from the styles being pushed out these days. The animation is fair, but since this is such a long running series, that can only be expected. The palette of colors used is also pretty minimal and kind of drab. But ultimately I'm in for the show, and not the eye candy.

    As for the localization, I'd say it's pretty good. I enjoy English dub tracks, so I didn't have a lot trouble adapting to this one. Some of the characters, such as Yusuke, are well portrayed while others come off as too cartoony sounding (Kuwabara). I should note that the actual recording job of the dub could of been handled a little more professionally. Some of the dialog gets clipped slightly when things get loud, and there were also a few instances of microphone *puff* sounds. FUNimation went the extra mile and dubbed the opening and closing songs, which is always a plus in my book. And fear not, the original songs are present on the Japanese audio side.

    The adapted dub script follows the original Japanese dialog fairly well, with only minimal changes here and there. Thankfully, FUNimation included subtitles for both the English and the Japanese tracks (Most studios skimp out on subtitling the English track). But unfortunately, they aren't the best subs out there as they are white instead of the normal yellow. Alas, they are functional and well timed. Missing is a subtitle track devoted to translations of the onscreen Japanese writing, which is a real shame.

    This disc features decent audio and video; it's not terrible, but nothing to write home about. Depending on your equipment, you may or may not notice some of the macroblocking "squishy". The disc also features some good extras. For starters you get a clean (textless) opening and ending sequence in both English and Japanese. The profiles do a good job of fleshing out a few characters without being riddled with spoilers. Although, they are annoyingly tilted at a 30 degree angle, making them difficult to read. Yama's Notebook is a welcome section that explains some of the Japanese meanings for names as well as translations for some of the kanji used in the show. There are a few trailers for Dragonball related material, and one for Blue Gender.

    So would I recommend this disc? Probably, but make sure you know what your getting into first. While the DVDs are cheaper than most anime DVDs, you're also getting less content. The discs will be released with 4 episodes for the first few discs, then most likely drop down to 3. With a series this long (over 100 episodes in total) that's going to require quite a commitment on your part. Another problem with the length of the series is that there will no doubt be long drawn out stretches of lulls in the later episodes; something that turned me off with Dragonball Z. These first few episodes were good, but there's no telling where it'll be by episode 50.

    But hey, try out the first few volumes and form your own opinion. What you think is far more important than any jaded reviewer :)

    Ok this was very weird at first but it got more interesting in the next episodes. This is a cartoon you should take a look and collect. Yu Yu Hakusho is straight out Hilirious and romantic. These 4 episodes have alot of romance and some heart warming scenes, but to understand this series you have to watch the first 4 episodes to know why and how. If you like to watch anime that has everything like romance, comedy, fighting, betrail, curlity, or true friendship, and trust in one another. You will love this series it just has it all. And this doesn't have anything that looks the same like DragonBall Z. Cause you know in DragonBall Z everyone looks the same. They did a great job on the art work and found some great acters for the voices. So Take a look at this anime, cause it's worth taking a look.

    See you Later anime fans.

    I haven't actually seen the DVD of this yet but I did just see episode two on Cartoon netwoks Adult Swim. This looks to be an excellant series. The animation is beautifully done and the story line includes humor and drama. I will warn you though this is a long series. I have looked into buying the subtitled DVDs and found to my astonshiment/horror/pleasure that this series is currently 112 episodes long. Just so you don't have to do the math that means that if this series is released with 4 episodes per disk this series will cover 28 DVDs!! The import subtitled stuff has 9 or 10 episodes per disk with a total of 12 DVDs. That also means that it will take at least a year or two for the entire release of this series.

    Yu Yu Hakusho... a demented series... however, it's very entertaining. The biggest troublemaker in his town, Yusuke Urameshi, is killed in a car accident, presented with an ordeal by guide Botan, to win his life back and having to depend on his rival, Kuwabara to keep his body in one piece. Not good for a 14 year old to experience. Plenty of comedy... Koenma, 700 years old, looks like a kid with `Jr.' on his hat and pacifier.

    A great series... characters conveniently balanced.
