They started with the episode after the last one they aired loooong ago.

There was drama, there was angst, there was Kuwabara having hysterics. :shock:

And something happened that's driving my sisters crazy 'cause they don't know how it's going to get solved. But I do. And I'm not telling them. :twisted: Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

getting better?

Postby Keiji-san » Thu Nov 03, 2005 5:19 am

I have recently started to watch this show and I must say that the 3 first episodes were very good with the “he being dead” story. But after that all episodes only seems to be about fighting and the story seem to be nonexistent. I have only seen the first 20 episodes so far so I know I can’t fairly grade the show yet but if the show continues in this “childish” way I don’t won’t to waist my time on it. So you guys/girls who have seen it, does it get any better soon?

In our country this anime is really well-known,and famous... :D
I liked it ...and my favourite character was Kurama and Karasu...they are real bishounens...first Kurama's voice.. was a bit strange,but I loved Him... :wink:
Hiei was the funniest person,he and Kuwabara argued a lot... :roll:

Well, there is a lot of fighting and the like. The manga really is better if you want more story. (For one thing, Yusuke stays dead longer in the manga, and has some very interesting encounters. There's more character development, too.)

I really like the anime, but I was a little disappointed when I found out how much they took out of the original manga. There are some bits I really would've liked to see animated. That and they made the fight scenes longer. Oh well, I guess that's to be expected, seeing as this was the same animation studio that did DBZ et al.

The show really gets alot better. My favorite episodes are the tournament episodes. Lots of funny stuff happen :lol:
Really it does. Lots of action. My fave episodes of the Dark Tournament were where it gets to the end. I go crazy off those episodes!! you should really continue watching the show. I know I did :D

Yes, the show does get better, although, i never really thought it got bad. Except for that one episode where they apparently got a different animator. Ugh, that was a horribly animated segment. I love the last saga about the Demon Tournament and the three demon lords, including Yusuke's "father".

Thanks for all the answers!
After reading all your opinions I have decided to give the show an extra try :)

Which segment is that? I remember a couple times in the Dark Tournament when it looked like the style changed a bit, but I'd like to know which you're refering to.

Are you sure about that?

Last I recall Toei Animation did DBZ and Studio Pierrot did YYH.

However, Toei did do the animation for YYH movie 1 and Toho did it for Movie 2 (Poltergeist Report).

I know the rest of the series is a big major departure from the first 5 eps but I still found it very entertaining. I think what made the rest of the series interesting was not just the fights, but the reasons why the characters were fighting. The first half of the series, the characters fought for basic reasons like saving the world and what not. As the series progresses, while the characters still fight for the "save the world" reason, it gets much much more deeper than that.

It gets to the point where you begin to feel sympathetic for the villian and you can understand why he/she is doing the things they do. At the same time you know the heroes have to win because their beliefs clash which determine the fate of one world or the other.

The fights have alot of suspense to them the first time you watch and you'll be surprised that the good guys don't always win.

I would recommend finishing the Dark Tournament saga and see if you want to continue after that. While the last saga is rushed, I still feel it was pretty well done.

Well, I seem to recall hearing that the same studio did both a couple places, but maybe that's mistaken.

Do you know if the movies are out in the USA? I'd like to see them.

Both are out.

You'll find movie 1 in a Ninku/Yu Yu Hakusho hybrid dvd released by anime works.

Movie 2 is "Poltergeist Report" released by US Manga corps.

I'm refering to the episode in which Hiei kicks Bui's ass (I think it's the second episode of that particular battle). It looked like shit, at least in my opinion.
