Summary: Wow great DVD
Review: This is a great DVD it includes the first 25 episodes of the incredibly good yu yu hakusho series. It is also better than buying the DVD's seperately, because that would cost [a lot of money]. It includes the new apprentice saga, the beasts of maze castle, rescue yukina, and the three artifacts of darkness.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Series
Review: This is an awesome buy. I'm honestly surprised that they have this. I suggest buying this.

Summary: Arigatou Gozaiiiiiiimasu
Review: This is really one of the most charming anime series to come along in a great long while. The basic premise is; young punk ne'er do well (Yusuke Urameshi) does ONE good deed and dies in the process. The spirits are so flabbergasted by this, they decide to give him another chance. The first couple episodes are comedic gems as the disembodied Yusuke uses all his ghostly powers (suggestion,possession, etc.) to try and convince his alcoholic mother, would-be girlfriend, and schoolyard rival not to cremate his body. Okay, this is an ongoing series, so I don't think it'll ruin anything, but...

The real strength of this series is its characterizations. This set mostly introduces characters who will play a major role in the rest of the series, so you get a lot of first impressions, but they are good ones. The kids and even the demons are likable, and their enemies thoroughly evil (as they should be!). The interplay of the characters is at times very funny. This series has a wonderful sense of imagination and humor. Some of the jokes and language are a little adult at times, and there's a lot of violence (some of the fights stretch over two or more episodes), but overall its very lighthearted and fun.

Highly recommended.

Summary: A Classic Anime
Review: This series is just plain fun, especially if you appreciate anime or manga. Anyone who doesn't like it cause it follows the pattern of the hero always kicking [booty] should take a good hard look at american action movies and shows and realize the [garbage] on tv shovels that theme out way more than the japanese. The series also exemplifies the power of human emotions and their spirit. Even if you are not a fan of anime, you should try this out cause it has action, comedy, drama, romance and a lil somethin for perverts. Don't judge it by the edited and dubbed garbage]you see on tv, this has all the blood and cursing you could want in a show. And if you aren't too lazy to read, i suggest watching the subtitled version in japanese, because the americanized version is ok, yet doesn't hold true to the characters as well as the original voice cast. And the only reason I give this one only 4 stars is because the animation is sometimes sloppy and weak animation, but this is only because it is a very old anime, and because the creators had tight budgets. But I think you will enjoy it all the same like you would appreciate any black and white classic.

Summary: something for everyone
Review: Well, YuYu Hakusho has something for every anime fan. Sweet Yusuke/Keiko moments, hilarious Kuwabara moments, for the female fans, the perfect guy. KURAMA!! (the red head above) People who like bad boys will love Hiei and his trademark 'Hn'. The animation isn't too good in some episodes, but the plotline more than makes up for that. The fights aren't overly dramatic or gory, and unlike DBZ, they don't drag on and on and on.....the character's rise in power is pretty believable, and over time you get really attached to the characters. (I cried when Genkai died it twas very sad) So, this series is neatly balanced, with sweet but not overly sweet moments, fighting, but not so much that it dominates the plotline, and comedy, but not so much that the series goes fluff.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Spirit Detective
Review: Yu Yu Hakusho is a great series with a lot of cool character's such as Yusuke, Kuwabara, Heiei, Korama and a bunch more. This whole thing is about a 15 year old boy named Yusuke Urameshi who is wanted by a bunch of gangs around his neighborhood, he lives with his mom and skips school most of the time. Later he gets hit by a car and is dead but then his spirit is still alive and is met up by a girl named Botan and is taken into what is called the Spirit World. He has to go threw many tasks to come back alive, lucky he accompishes that and everything is back to normal but then Lord Koenma ruler of the spirit world shows up and gives Yuske a message he has to ba a spirit detective and that's when his adventure starts and meet's a bunch of new allies. This is a great sefries you should get this or you could the manga version which is also on shonen jump weekly.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Probably the best...
Review: Yu Yu Hakusho is the story of a boy named Yusuke Urameshi, a 14 year old 8th grade delinquent that attends Sarayashiki Junior High. Now one of the things that I like about this anime is the fun and interesting personalities of the characters. The dialouge is also very well scripted. You also get to experience Junior High from the eyes of a not-so-average student.

In Japan, gangs and rivalries are rampant in schools, and this anime portray's that perfectly. The characters are all fun and interesting and have you always wondering what they are going to say next. This show has a little bit of everything: action, adventure, fighting, romance, and the occasional pervert.

The name "Urameshi" is a phrase stereotypically said by wailing ghosts. The "Yu" in Yusuke's name and the title is written with the kanji for ghost.(Shonen Jump, 7/03)
Yoshihiro Togashi does an excellent job with the animation and story. I highly recommend checking this anime out, and also check out the Yu Yu Hakusho movies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AMAZING
Review: Yusuke Urameshi is a nasty punk, street brawler, and bully, until he dies saving a child's life. His heroic death wasn't predicted in the Spirit World, so he is given a chance-Just one-to return to his body. After fulfilling his trials in the Spirit World, he is asked to become its official Spirit Detective. He later teams up with 2 powerful (but adorable =^3^=) Demons, and his former rival.

Yu Yu Hakusho is an all around amazing anime, and it is well worth your time and interest. It's loaded with hilarious cracks, action, and even a little romance from time to time (ooh la la!) The bad guys are unlikable to the core, and then there's some that you just can't get enough of. (Namely Hiei. Former power-over-the-world coveting, current center of every fangirl's fantasy...)It took a lot of imagination by Yoshihiro Togashi, and he definitely brought it out in this really-makes-you-think show.

I reccomend it to ages 13+ (Unless you buy the cut versions, then all ages)
*goes off to watch more*
