    It's watchable. Way better than what I was expecting. Good casting, VFX, action scenes, amazing costumes (despite the bad wigs) and locations.
    Too bad the story is a rushed mess. Feels like watching only the goals from a football match. I just hope it spark the interest for the anime, which is my favourite shounen ever.

    This happens because they still push the show without committing Netflix for a multi season budget. Storywise they can do it for 3 seasons up to the tournament fight. If the first taguro fight is the 1st season highlight, they should’ve make character development as part of a flash back instead of cutting important plots lines.

    The anime feels like if they took a whale and forcefully pushed into a sardine can. My jaw was on the floor that they kill Toguro on ep5.
    For context this is like making the whole Sayian/Freeza saga in 4 or 5 eps

    A bit nitpicky but ultimately I agree. They really messed up by skipping so much instead of taking their time. They should've ended S1 with Rando, or the Saint Beasts if they wanted to speed things up a bit. Delivering good action at the price of the story just wasn't it and it's unfortunate. It could've been great.

      @@BubblesChika Yes, I did. It's one of my favorite 90s show & right up there with Rurouni Kenshin, Street fighter V2, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw star & Trigun. It's an adaptation & many deviate from their original works. I love Spider man 2002 but I know someone who doesn't. In reality it's still a film that skipped alot of great content from the original comic, made drastic changes & immediately went with Green goblin as the main villain. The live action Yu yu Hakusho is flawed but it also gave me the same enjoyment I get from films like Fist of legend & Iron Monkey so you can't expect me to hate it. I didn't like the live action Cowboy Bebop though. Not even as a standalone series. The action is not effectively executed. The characters also feel alot more different & not in a way I like. Imo live action Toguro was atleast still more badass than live action Vicious. Anyway, not everything is going to work for everyone & that's fine. I'm also in the minority who enjoys the live action Rurouni Kenshin films more than the 90s anime.

      @@peterfrost377 As a spectacle, I will say YYH live action is at least competently made but as for everything else, it's decidedly lacking the heart and soul that made the original so special.
      They turned Yusuke, one of the compelling and likeable shounen main characters, into a generic, try-hard edgelord that takes himself too seriously, never joking and cracking quips like Yusuke would do.
      Kuwabara isn't the lovable goofball that he is here and feels like he revolves around Yusuke, particularly tagging along with Yusuke to Genkai's just because he wanted to keep up with him whereas in the original, he sought Genkai out all on his own because he felt his spiritual awareness manifesting
      One gives him agency of his own accord, the other tethers him to live action not-quite Yusuke's character.
      The emotional beats are solely missing with little build-up. Not sure why they decided to cram so much stuff into such short a runtime.
      *Less is more.* Use less material to put more emphasis on what matters. Simply adapting up to Yukina's rescue without the steamlined Dark Tournament and ending off with Toguro's fake off death, like a shot of his fingers wiggling, would've been far more satisfying.
      We don't need four arcs when none of the characters and story lines are allowed to breath and develop

    I’ve seen other reviews giving great praise to the show. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion but I couldn’t stand it. This show is a shell of the true YuYu Hakusho, that wasn’t more obvious than Yusuke’s funeral. That scene held so much emotion in it that even as a little kid I felt something.
    Keiko collapsing to the ground unable to be held up at all. Kuwabara charging inside and sobbing for Yusuke, reaching his hand out to him desperately hoping he was alive. How his mother at last broke and how his teacher mourned that Yusuke had so much potential in his life that was wasted with his sudden death. And the little boy not understanding death and asking if he can play with Yusuke again as his mother cries and embraces him most likely feeling the loss of a boy who saved her own. That was all in episode one and it was brilliant.
    I barely managed to watch the first two episodes of the live action. And it wasn’t even bad in a funny way for most of it. Just not the same at all.

    Well, the Netflix show was only five one-hour episodes long. I can see how shallow and frustrating the Netflix show can be given that the anime took its sweet time building the characters up. But ultimately I agree that they rushed to get to the Toguro brothers right away. A proper first season should have been 10 one-hour episodes long and ended with the Genkai tournament.

  • @pacificcoastbreeze
    @pacificcoastbreeze 9 місяців тому +5

    YYH Live Action had a lot of pros and cons, the biggest pros being the actors and visual fx artists did an amazing job, but the biggest con is that they skipped so many arcs and were forced to condense it to 5 episodes that you don't actually feel any character development or interaction. Each action holds no weight because they had to rush to the next story beat. Yusuke finally understood Kuwabara as an equal and a rival when he watched Kuwabara show up at his viewing and caused a ruckus, but that scene felt rushed. He didn't even get to the body. Oh yeah, let's introduce Genkai and then kill her off screen in one episode. Who is that old bag anyway? Probably no one important. Yusuke was powerful but it was still not enough to beat Toguro in their first fight, so the Spirit Wave Orb that Yusuke inherited from Genkai? It was more of a handshake and did not even explain why it was so important for her to give it to him. Oh yeah, and the pain and struggle of having Yusuke's body put up with the strength of the Spirit Wave Orb, so much so that when he finally conquered it, became Toguro's equal? Yeah there's no time for that. Let's just skip that part.
    Oh yeah, what's up with Sakyo's hairstyle and the whole high school delinquent attitude? Should we set it in the 90s? Nah, let's make it a vague modern retelling where their hairstyles make no sense in the modern day, and also let's give them smartphones.
    With that said, as much as I loved the actors, I doubt there will be a Season 2 and frankly I don't want any new season because they already ruined a lot of the initial story beats. "They" meaning Netflix, for giving them only 5 episodes. Fuck Netflix

    I watched the whole season but it had little to none of the heart of the anime. Squashing all the story arcs together robbed the significant moments of their original significance. Elder Taguro was a terrifying presence; Yusuke had go go through a bunch of training and tough fights in the dark tournament and other fights to even get close to strong enough to beat him. The dark tournament arc is one of the most beloved arcs in shounen and it was melded together with the save Yukina from Tarukane arc. Genkai's death was also a lot less significant since we only get to know her in the one episode instead of here fighting with team urameshi in the DT.
    Anyway, I don't think I'd care if they make more of this, since I don't even know where they'd go with it. The dark tournament arc would be pointless to adapt since team Taguro is already defeated. I guess they'd adapt the chapter black saga, but in a very rushed form again.....
    I'm hoping the anime reboot is much better.

    Okay So I wasn’t the only one who didn’t understand the overly positive reaction to the show lol It’s not the worse live adaptation by a long shot, but jeez. None of the characters act like their supposed too. Hours of story telling is condensed into minutes. The action is cool, but it’s only cool cause everything else is very lackluster. Obviously I’m not expecting a panel by panel or scene by scene adaption, that would be insane. However I think we deserved more than a cliff notes version of arguably one of the best anime ever made.

    It’s watchable if you’re only interested in the fight scenes, which are good. But the fact they crammed what? 3 seasons of the show into one, skipped over the entirety of the Dark Tournament, and thus removed all the great character developments for characters like Yusuke, and especially Togoro, who was one of the most complex and interesting guys in the entire series. Shame.

    Let's see, they butchered:
    -Yusuke's trials to earn his second chance. The live action handing it on a silver platter to yusuke completely misses the point of that trial
    -Yusuke's resurrection which is actually emotional in the anime
    - Yusuke not being able to use a spirit gun right away
    - Yusuke fighting a mini tournament to chase down rando. Thus earning his chance to train with genkai.
    - His training with genkai was also ruined
    - Completely skipping the four beasts arc which showed Yusuke's growth as spirit detective
    - Completely butchering the dark tournament, which btw is the best tournament on any fuccing shounen.
    - Yusuke's actor being wooden and trying to be edgy and stoic. Yusuke can be a goofball and funny most of the time. That's the part of his charm
    - Yusuke's final trial with genkai, butchered again. Like come on, yusuke overcoming that trial was him fully growing a spine and showing maturity
    -Since they fucced up the dark tournament arc, they couldn't show Toguro making Yusuke sh*t his pants. This was a very important scene cause it forces yusuke to grow up and train hard cause lives are at stake here. Plus this was the first time in his life he felt genuine fear and awe at someone's power.
    -They fucced up Hiei's background story. He lost his Harui stone which is another reason why he sought out Shigure for the jagan eye
    -Genkai demonstrating her mastery over the spirit waves is such a treat in the anime. The moment she showed her own spirit gun to yusuke was epic asf. Too bad, netflix butchered it too
    -They fucced up Toguro's final battle with genkai and yusuke's reaction over it.
    -Completely fuccing up that iconic scene where yusuke uses his new spirit gun as dedication to genkai
    Seriously, fucc this adaptation. Whoever is behind this abomination should get slapped for the lack of respect to the source material.

      bro there's plenty of respect for the source material. the only issue is it being a five episode limited series. None of what you listed could have been adapted properly in five episodes. With what the series actually gave us, you can tell the crew really tried. But they had such strict deadlines. Im not saying it would be better with 8 or 12 episodes. Im saying that you have to cut them slack and show some respect where its due. take your biases out for just a moment, bcuz quite frankly if you were expecting every one of your points to be addressed in five episodes you honestly just have no idea what it takes to create a tv show.

      I’ve never really seen One Piece, aside from a few episodes on Toonami back when Cartoon Network owned the channel. The only ones who can say if it’s a good or bad adaptation are the fans. As for your point on Infinity War, that movie nearly resolves 10 years of cinematic character building and storytelling, which doesn’t hold up against a complete a misrepresentation of a story plucked straight from manga/anime that holds none the character aspects or world building that it was meant to portray.

    Lol I havent seen it (the live action, love the anime/manga)but I probably could have told you all of this anyway lol. I have absolutely 0 faith or expections of netflix. Ive heard decent things about the castlevania anime, but I think thats the only mostly positive show Ive ever heard netflix put out. Everything else is either just disappointing, or pretty good for like 3 episodes and then disappointing (or even downright insulting to the source material).
    This is why I dont pay for netflix or hulu or any of that. Most of the stuff is available somewhere else, and the stuff that isnt is a 4/10 at best lol. Id love to get excited for stuff like this but its hard when literally everything they make has some glaring issue.
    Like here like was brought up in the video. Why why why WHY couldnt they just make the spirit sword the right color!?!? Never mind changing the story behind it, they cant even get the frickin color right!! Does the color really matter? Not hugely, but it really shows how little they care. Its not like it went from light blue to dark blue, its literally the opposite color!
