The live-action version of Yu Yu Hakusho has its star! Yusuke Urameshi will be played by Takumi Kitamura!
| source of the news https://twitter.com/IGN/status/1548216119135113217 so thoughts? for me they should have just done a modern remake of the anime |
ShahrukhKnight said: Netflix is milking anime Ip's Indeed. Look, even if Netflix gave an iota of a damn about the quality of its adaptation (and they don't), Yu Yu Hakusho would be impossible to ever do well as a live-action series for a multitude of reasons. One of the most basic being the character designs themselves. Hiei and Kurama work as anime characters, but would look like idiotic, cringe cosplays in live action when played by any available actor. Hell, even Kuwabara would be difficult to cast. And don't even get me started on how awful trying to replicate energy blasts in live action is... |

Netflix is doing great in there anime adaptation Could have fooled me. I've watched "Bright: Samurai Soul", one of the worst anime ever, despite working off great source material in the live-action film, and "Super Crooks", which sucked, too. |
ShahrukhKnight said: I'm talking about Castlevania and Arcane but both of these are video game adaptation. Haven't seen Arcane, but holy hell did Netflix's Castlevania adaptation suck. It hurt especially bad since Castlevania has been my favorite video game franchise for almost 30 years, since I was 6 years old and played the original on the NES. I wrote a giant review of it on a science fiction and fantasy blog back in the day. |
| Another Dumpster fire here, why tf netflix don,t go for something like Green blood or the did Alice in Borderland as its live action worked so well. Looks realistic and can be done as cast won't look like clowns. Well it will be cancelled so no worries there. |
