I think it's the best, except for Transformers, Futurama, Inu-Yasha, Cowboy Bebop, and Dexter. But it beats all of those into the ground. Poltergeist Report rocks!!!(that's what yu yu hakusho translates to, by the way)

reply

Yes!!! At least, it's my all time favorite cartoon series... I guess I started watching it when I was 10, and now I'm still a big fan, even at 17...
My favorite carachter is Kurama, and my fave villain is the elder/little Toguro...

Anime=cartons Its just easier to say anime to refer to Japanimation.

YYH imho is the best series. It has eveything that makes a shouen good. It goes up and beyond the limits. The villians have nice back grounds...A demonLord hellbent on taking earth, a killer wanting power, a toguro i dunno, Sensui was well...psycho. That man...is far from normal, he sin't evil just really, really, really screwed up. Yomi...angry. Mukuro...i dunno since the last arc sucked.

Really...i liked it, compared to stuff like Bleach its a billion times better.

Just for the record, anime and cartoons aren't the same thing. I've just never considered them the same things.
Though I do agree that YYH is one of the best animated shows I had ever seen (That I shall never deny)

reply

I've watched YYH for the first time in the year of 1997.Now,in 2006,I watched again,and I still like the anime,but yet,it has many flaws.The dialogue is weak and the screenplay has some boring parts.

reply

Blonde Killer 77, are you talking about the dubbed version, or does the Japanese version have weak dialogue as well?

reply

Japanese version.
The manga is much better.

reply

Of course, since animes tend to leave tou a lot of important and interesting things.
The only thing that gets to me about the manga is that with the way the characters are drawn (big faces, huge eyes) they all look like little kids.
They look cute; but the artwork suits them more in the anime- the only good thing about it.

reply

In manga situations are better explored.But the dialogue is weak too.

"Oh,that guy is strong"

"Sure he is"

"Hey,we will fight some day!"

I love YYH,but I can't ignore things like this ^^

reply

Thank you for setting them straight. i was about to blow up something if these people didn't realized that YYH is an anime not a cartoon.

I don't see difference.Well,anime is just a japanese term for 'cartoon'.

reply

cartoons are usually ment to be funny, or sarcastic. Where as anime may at times be those things, it so much more. And Anime not only refers to the show itself, but the reacuring style. There's a huge argument for this on many anime forums, and i know there is more to this argument, but i don't know what they were. most hardcore anime fans probaby would be on anime sight.

I never developed a full arguement part of it sort of a judgement call. The way i base it, it has more to do with the conotation of the word cartoon. I guess i would put it this way. animation is the general term for any thing not live action. anime is a type of animation and so are cartoons, but there not the same thing.

And no, anime is not the japanese word for cartoon. It is said commonly that anime is short for animation, but i think i remember reading somewhere that that fact was false. Ha, I'm contradicting my self, oh well. Oh if you say all animations are cartoons, i swear i'll scream, not much of a threat but there's not much i could do considering this is an online forum.

It is the same thing.When anime came to America,people started to complicate things,like they do about every new thing.

reply

Anime is just a shortened term for animation.

reply

The show should've ended at the end of Chapter Black saga. Would've been the perfect finale.

reply

Not going to bother getting sidetracked with some previous stuff, but Yu Yu Hakusho is a great anime, it's like Street Level DBZ, awesome more low level brawling with better animation, instead of godly battles of epic proportion. Yu Yu and Gundam Wing are my two favorite anime series, both oddly enough animes that have been released in america which normally Otaku's like myself favor more rare animes that have not been released much over here.

ALL CARTOON SERIES SUCK. EITHER THEYRE BASED ON A COMIC SO U SHOULD LIKE THAT AS THE SOURCE INSTEAD OF THE CARTOON AND EVERY CARTOON THAT IS MADE IN THE STANDARD WAY NEVER HAPPENS IN JAPAN AND ALWAYS HAS TO DO WITH SOFTCORE COMEDY SITUATIONS INVOLVING EITHER FUNNY ANIMALS OR DEMONIC CHILDREN. IF ITS NO HOLDS BARRED THE BEST CARTOONS COME FROM COMICS BEING TRANSLATED TO CARTOONS. YU YU HAKUSHO ISNT THE BEST THE BEST CARTOON SEIRES OF ALL TIME IS

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES

reply

I strongly disagree.

Anime and cartoon aren't the same thing and cartoons don't suck for not being animes.
Though anime wanna-be shows do: "Totally Spies" As a cartoon, it's okay, but people have been considering it as an anime- which gets on my freakin nerves!

Hello! just wanna share a quote by Hiei.

"There's no one that does not carry scars on his heart. If there were such a man, he'd be a very shallow soul."
-Hiei to Kurama

reply

Thank you for sharing that quote. A very insightful thing for Hiei and who would know better than him?

reply

you're very welcome, forlorn rage! i just so looove that quote! hiei said that to kurama when kurama felt guilty for kuronue's death because he wasn't able to save him the day he died.

reply

Just saying the creater of yu yu hakushos other work hunter x hunter is by far a better anime. possibly one of the greatest animes ever made.

reply

Can anyone tell me if Urameshi smokes in the original japanese anime? Im trying to find the original subbed and wanted to know the differences in the versions. Thanks.

reply

In my opinion this is the second best action-anime ever next to DBZ. Just seen the chapter black saga for the first time too, *LOVE* this show.

The main characters are all so great, well-developed, and endearing.

Is one of the best underrated animes i have seen, period

reply

yup, I think that Yu Yu Hakusho is one of the best anime ever created:) but probably not "the" best one. My top three are 1. Wolf's Rain, 2. Avatar the last airbender, 3. Yu Yu Hakusho. And yes, avatar counts as anime, it was animated in Korea so it counts as Korean anime:3.
