I LOVE Yu Yu Hakusho along with One Piece


Unfortunately, here in the states, less and less networks are airing anime. Cartoon Network. From 1998 to maybe 2007, anime was a mainstay on the channel. Voltron, Dragonball, Dragonball Z, Dragonball GT, Tenchi Muyo, Sailor Moon, Gundam Wing, G Gundam, Outlaw Star, Cyborg 009, Rurouni Kenshin, Ronin Warriors, Blue Submarine, Big O, Nadesico , Giganator, Astro Boy, and other shows

now, they only show about 3 shows on Saturday nights, and not even good shows

But the anime/manga industry is still going strong. Shonen Jump and Shoju Beat are highly successful, Funimation is slowly gaining success with their OnDemand channel, DVD sales are still going well, and there's a new manga series always being released

Yeah it's kind of the same story over here, that's why I *cough cough* download *cough cough* HD subs.

Yu Yu Hakusho is great, hard to believe it's a much older series but the storyline is great. Same with One Piece, I love animation with a good mix of humor and kicking ass.

You read any mangas? I read the mangas of Bleach Claymore and Naruto at the moment.

Yu Yu first came out here in the late 90s when the first movie was released. The series didn't come out here until 2002 or 2003...then found out the manga was first published in 1990 and ended in '96

the author Yoshihiro Togashi (who's married to the creator of Sailor Moon) went completely left field 3 years after YuYu ended with Hunter X Hunter. Watching them back to back (especially the early episodes of HXH), you wouldn't think they came from the mind of the same person





HXH does get a bit darker later on in the series, but it's mostly colorful and positive in the beginning

It's on hiatus right now in Japan

I've seen all of the anime of Hunter X Hunter with my brother! It's great! The ONLY character that disturbes me is....hmm I forgot his name but it's the dude with the cards....he gives me scary vibes.
