Mixed Feelings
I enjoy YYH as much as the next guy, but this......'movie' (really just an episode) is pretty meh. I'd usually give it the full run-down, but it's not worth it. Let's do this!

Story (6) - Koenma gets captured, Yusuke and the crew struggle to get there but overcome the odds with luck and perseverance; it's basically a lost season 1 episode. I personally prefer pre-Dark Tournament YYH/Season 1 YYH, so I enjoyed it because it's not so DBZ-esque, but I recognize that this is just glorified filler.

Art (5) - I think the art in the show is pretty solid for its time, but here it feels a bit sloppier than usual. I don't know why, but some of the more 'intense' action scenes (namely involving the Spirit Gun) look really.......unfinished. Otherwise, standard fare.

Sound (6) - Same OP as usual, but the ED is for season two even though this clearly takes place before the Dark Tournament. Seiyuus do fine here (even the new ones). SFX are fine.

Character (5) - All the established characters are their usual selves, so nothing to comment on that. The 2 new characters are....meh: One is admittedly cute and amusing, but is just there to be the trigger for the whole incident. The other is a bland Mega Strong blockhead that, of course, fails in the end.

Enjoyment/Overall (5) - I only watched + liked it because, hey, more YYH! If I didn't enjoy the franchise already, I wouldn't have bothered LOL. Would only recommend this to completionists and/or hardcore fans.
