Sterling's Anime Impressions [Yu Yu Hakusho]

Ah, the ever present classic that is known as Yu Yu Hakusho. The story follows a young high school delinquent named Yusuke Urimeshi. Oddly enough, he dies promptly in the very first episode trying to rescue a young child from being hit by a car. Soon after he is given a chance at a second chance. A very tempting offer wouldn't you say? Soon after he becomes the spirit detective of the human world. Tasked to seek and destroy demons who slip through into the Human world, he battles using spirit powers.

A story that was depressing, impressing, entertaining and somewhat unpredictable. At some points the show tended to feel like it drug on, but it would always pick back up quickly. As with typical Shounan style, resolve reigns supreme. The story is pretty impressive and holds up really well in terms of today's anime. The action scenes are well done and enjoyable. The characters are quirky and like-able. Even the dumbass of the story Kuwabara gets like points. They all have some very interesting powers; the Spirit Gun attack and Shotgun Fist are both high up on my favourite special lists.

Long story short, I highly recommend watching this anime at least once or twice. 8/0 [Shounen Scale]

Sounds like one of the better shounen anime out there, guess I will give it a watch after all one of these days :V
Going to get the manga eventually as well, should be fun seeing how different the two are~ >3>
 
Like most people, I agree the manga for any anime series is vastly superior. The anime in this case a great adaptation of the manga I hear.
 
Love it. Although i was quite disappointed with the last season.

Even then, it's one of those anime's you just want to watch a few times again in life.

Agreed, the last season was anti climactic.

A late to the party are we? I was using that pun to describe the series long before I was a fan. xD
 
The anime is pretty awesome, but the ending falls short compared to the manga counterpart, other than that it's def one of my fave shounen series. Manga from the 80's and 90's in general was really good, I guess people are short on ideas these days and not much stuff becomes as awesome.
 
rated your blog for you all 5 stars, I saw you complaining about it in another thing so I figured I'd even some odds for yeah
 
Thanks lol. The admins sound like they're looking into removing the system altogether for the blogs. Hopefully soon.
