Summary: What the hell!!!!!
Review: What the hell is this and they call this a double feature they're barely even movies. The first is Ninku the movie the only thing I don't get is if it is the movie what happen to the series, might as well just call it Ninku
by itself.
And there is the second movie, the famous Yu Yu Hakusho apparently they released the real movie Polgriest Report which is ten times better then this crap. Sure it has an okay plot but if they really wanted to make a movie out of this they could have made it longer at least an hour and had better voice actors.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: O MY GOD
Review: I am a SUPER Yu Yu Hakusho fan! However, this movie was horrible. The voices were different, which screwed up the movie bad as far as I am concerned. AND, as if that weren't enough, they changed the whole attidutes of the characters. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR DIE HARD HAKUSHO FANS!

Summary: Misleading Title + 2 rondom episodes = 1 bad DVD!
Review: I bought this DVD thinking that it had 2 full length movies on it but what I really wound up with was 2, 1/2 hr. episodes, each randomly chosen from these two shows.

The Yuyu Kakusho Show is very entertaining when you know the whole plot, but this DVD doesn't give you any background on the story so you can't truly appreciate it. The episode contained on this disc takes place quite far into the series. It would be more worth your money to buy V. 1 of the series for the few extra bucks because you get something like the first 5 episodes on it..

I hadn't seen Ninku before I watched this DVD but it seems quite entertaining and I am sure it would be enjoyable if I knew more about the plot, but I don't.

This DVD is more of a sampler of 2 anime than anything else, and is a waste of money even at it's low price compared to most anime.

If you want to watch the Yuyu Kakusho Show, it runs on Cartoon Networks Adult Swim, but don't waste your money on this.

Two good anime shows, one bad, misleading DVD!

Summary: Interesting
Review: I thought this was a very interesting series. It is not for kids. I thought the story was very unclear and that it was not really worth buying.

Summary: Not their fault...
Review: It's not their fault if you didn't take the time to figure out what you were getting. What type of fool would just go out and buy a dvd without reading up on it a little first? Anyone that followed the series, and was a true fan, would have known that this was only 30 minutes long. It was very good, and there is really nothing bad I can say about it. Sheesh, I just can't brush off the fact that all of you are so...immature. Blaming it on THEM because YOU throw around your money? Keh...

Summary: Not worth a non-hardcore fan's time
Review: The storylines for these two movies are pretty much self-contained, but not enough to enjoy if you have not seen or liked anything else from the series. Both movies imply you knowing about the characters (and caring about them) and story ahead of time. For example, Koenma got kidnapped in Yu Yu Kakusho, a purple demon guy cries like a baby about it, and my friend and I could care less since I bought this thinking it was a purely self-contained anime, and didn't even know who Koenma was and why he was so special. Despite that fact, the stories were not even very enthralling, but instead very disappointing.

The package says 60 minutes on both sides when talking about Ninku and Yu Yu Kakusho (it talks about one on one side and the other on the other side), somewhat making it look like both were an hour long each. It turns out that they are only episode-like, being 30 minutes long, somewhat self contained, and not very movie-like (suspensful, action-packed, etc.). Plus, not even knowing it was a series and thinking it was a regular movie, the storyline for Yu Yu Kakusho seemed very interesting. However, because this is a series as well, none of the interesting things in the synopsis were in the movie. Next time I see the words, "the movie," on some DVD of an anime, I'll think twice about buying it on a whim.
