More Ghastly Action
The series continues, and this time Yuuske's back from the dead to try his hand at more demonic enemies. The action looks like something from DragonballZ with the power blast that is emitted from Yuuske's finger, but not the same. If you are like me, this a good thing, because I grew very tired of DBZ and the mindless fighting in it. YYH is beyond that, thankfully. The animation seems to have gotten slightly better which is always a plus and there is still comedy, but the series now focuses on matters of a greater scale involving the destruction of earth. Kurama and Hiei have been introduced. This will please many fans who have seen the movie or a part of Hiei's huge fanbase.
The reason i didn't rate this DVD higher is that I don't think the series is that spectacular after watching anime such as Lain, Evangelion, and Cowboy Bebop,and the animation isn't exactly cutting edge either, but if you liked the first for episodes or the movie, then this is for you.

Like Dragonball Z, only, well, better.
What we have here is your standard fightin' anime. Yusuke Urameshi has the power and responsibility to fight demons and spirits and suchlike, and he does. The characters are great, the animation is great (although not the best), and the story is fine.

Ultimately it all devolves into super-powered heroes and super-powered villians, which is the real point of the series, just like DBZ, but the quality of YYH is better, and it is more satisfying in the long run. Another reason to get into YYH over DBZ: really, you're never going to get all the DBZ episodes on DVD. You can get in on the ground floor with Yu Yu Hakusho.

The first few episodes are still setting things up and laying the ground rules. This disc (Artifacts of Darkness) has the episodes where the fightin' starts, when Yusuke must recover three magical items, stolen from the Great Treasure Hall of the Spirit World by three demons in human form.

The DVD edition has both the dubbed and subbed versions, which is nice. Only four episodes per DVD, which is a little annoying; there is no reason why it couldn't be six.

YYH ROOOOOOCKS!!!!
I had to wait for this to hit Toonami(I'm not allowed to watch adult swim mind you), but I saw the ad on TV saying it was coming and I immediately started cheering and carrying on like that. I was hyped up so much cause I had been waiting so long. It was definately worth the wait. The first episode was a bit depressing(I almost shed a tear when Kayko and Kuwabara were carying on). As it moved into the Saint Beast saga
it provoked me to write a fanfic about it(no I'm not gonna rant about it either unless you WANT me to). Overall, YYH is my fave anime.
