Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A Very Disappointing Dilemma.
Review: As you have probably read in other reviews, this Dvd has its glitches. The animation and sound are perfect, but the Japanese subtitles for episode 44, Yusuke's Final Test, are replaced with the Japanese subtitles for episode 45, Hiei Battles On. I would wait to purchase this Dvd until Funimation has fixed the problem.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Small problem...
Review: For Genkai's test, if you're just watching the dub, it's great. The translation is really funny, but by this point you should know that.

There are two options for subtitles. One is a sort of closed-captioning of the interpretation that's being used in the dub. The other is a closer translation of what's being said in Japanese. The problem with this DVD is that one of the episodes has a misprinting for the Japanese subtitles--instead of being the episode's subtitles, they're the subtitles for the next episode. So if you're going to get this DVD, I suggest waiting until FUNimation has fixed this problem.

The difficulty here is getting in touch with FUNimation. Your best bet there is to call up the ZStore...and ask them about it. They do know there's a problem and they've told me that they're fixing it. Here's hoping.

Summary: Glitch on DVD disappointing...
Review: I love this show, and content-wise, I would give it a 4-star rating.

But, as other reviewers have previously mentioned, the Japanese subtitles for episode 44 are, in fact, for episode 45. Everyone I know that bought the defective version of this disk, including myself, have made numerous attempts to contact Funimation concerning the error, and although they have acknowledged the error, they've done NOTHING to correct it, or publicly admit the disk was in error. That is why I am giving this disk such a poor rating.

Otherwise, the series is excellent, with wonderful characterization, and the other, *unflawed* disks are a great buy.

Summary: A significant Problem
Review: If you prefer the English dub of Yu Yu Hakusho, in which Funimation inserts their own interpretations of how characters interact and adds their own lines in a way they consider humorous, then no problem.

However, if you prefer the Japanese dub, with English subs that go along with the Japanese voice acting (Funimation inserts 2 subtitle sets into their DVD's; one for the original Japanese dub, the other for the English dub), then there is a significant glitch. Episode 44's subtitles for the Japanese dub are incorrectly coded with episode 45's subtitles. While it is possible to play the subtitles for the English dub, as noted above, it IS NOT THE SAME. Until Funimation corrects this error, if you prefer the subtitling that goes with along the Japanese voice acting, I recommending holding off on buying this disc.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bad.Very,very,very,VERY,VERRRYYY BAD.
Review: If you prefer the original,superior Japanese version,this DVD basically is missing an episode.It's incomplete,and bad.BAAAAAD.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A big difference
Review: This DVD in english version is really bad,because in the english version it's not even close with the japanese version.In the english version it's like they've made their own Yu Yu Hakusho.
I'll prefer the spanish dub of the japanese version.
