Yuu☆Yuu☆Hakusho (Movie)

Yu Yu Hakusho is an Anime about an aberrant young man named Yusuke Urameshi who is killed while attempting to save a boy’s life. After leaving his body he finds that a place for him in the spirit world is not available! After fulfilling a task given to him, he is resurrected in his old body. This time around his body comes with Spirit Powers, and a few strings attached; he is called upon to work as a Spirit Detective to investigate any suspicious activities brought about by the demon world.

Yusuke's resurrection changes his mind-set and behavior, he slowly discovers new ways to use ... his Spirit abilities, and faces many strong opponents in his battle for good. Some of his opponents however are inspired by Yusuke Urameshi’s honorable intensions. His love for his friends and family brought about a change in 2 of his most difficult adversaries, namely Kurama and Hiei.

In addition to his two new allies, there exists an on-going rivalry between Yusuke and his schoolmate Kuwabara. Seeing Yusuke possessing great psychic power leads Kuwabara to train harder to develop his own powers, his family line boasting some psychic ability as well. Botan; the Secretary of Heavens aids the four unlikely battling partners, guiding them on their quests and solving mysteries, quite often using a liberal dose of Whoop-@$$.



DARGON / Tera-Alpha's Notes:
I like this Anime Series a lot! I watched all of the episodes that have been aired during the "Adult-Swim" on Cartoon Network at least twice. It is exciting and a bit violant (comparable to DBZ). The plot, and the charachters are as realistic as can be expected considering the situation This anime is GORY and deffanitly NOT intended for younger audiances.

Anime features and extended OVAs tend to get a bad reputation, and I'm not exactly sure why that tends to be the case. I think in part it has to do with the issues of canonicity, and the fandoms obsession with canon, as well as the nature of the promotion. If this was labeled "Bonus Episode" rather than movie, i'm sure you would see a score point boost alone. There is really nothing here that significantly differs from the actually series itself, and for what is essentially 20 minutes worth of content, it really didn't feel very different from the main series?

It could be ... the English voice cast in the Media Blasters version, which is undoubtedly how majority of the watchers of this are consuming it, but it should be noted in the Japanese version the cast is their normal cast. Shoakura is also Rica Matsumoto, who is mainly known as Ash, but also voiced Fusuke in Ninku (the other movie produced and premiered along side this one in the DVD). So most of the voice acting problems definitely do not exist, but since it's pretty hard to find the funimation version i doubt anyone saw it.
