That’s already pretty unusual in and of itself. Genkai is an older woman who is cast as the mentor character of the series. All of that is at least a little subversive.įinally, there’s Genkai. And a bunch of our good guys are actually demons and one is a pretty demonic demon at that. At least two of his companions are way nobler by comparison. Yusuke is a very flawed hero, often selfish, short-sighted and kind of a jerk. That’s more of a hook than anything else but it was quite the first impression. Yu Yu Hakusho has elements that are unusual in action shonen, especially of the time. Or argue with other fans about how it’s actually not subversive or something along those lines. However, the majority of fans that I know, like to call Hunter x Hunter subversive. Yet whenever I had to stop for the evening, I was never confused as to where I was in the series and what everyone’s motivation was. I was constantly thinking of just one more episode. And you can definitely see that in Yu Yu Hakusho as well.Įpisodes and seasons all move forward in a way that never feels dull or drawn out but gives the viewers plenty of time to really understand everything that’s happening and get to know everyone. One of the best-paced anime I have ever watched. I am possibly the only one to say this, but I always thought that Hunter x Hunter’s greatest asset is impeccable pacing. Of course, considering Yu Yu Hakusho’s pedigree, it’s difficult for me not to compare it to Hunter x Hunter. It’s a fighting shonen with some really likeable characters and an enormous cast of side characters and extras, all of which bring something to the table. I’m not sitting here desperately wanting more but I’ll probably look up the movies and OVAs at some point. I went through 112 episodes like it was nothing and I wasn’t fed up with it by the end. In isolation, as a Hinter x Hunter fan or in otaku context. There are three ways for me to appreciate Yu Yu Hakusho. Were you guys in some sort of accident? Story & Characters I went into this with all sorts of expectations! And that’s how Yu Yu Hakusho hit my radar. From what I have read on other people’s blogs, my appreciation sort of comes from a different place but in the end, it was enough to get me interested in Togashi’s other works. In case you didn’t know, I’m a pretty big fan of Hunter x Hunter. Yusuke may have gotten his life back, but it certainly will never be the same! So now, Yusuke gets a chance to have his life back provided he helps the powers of spirit world to keep demons and other nasties from wreaking havoc on earth, in exchange. No one really expected a good for nothing like Yusuke to turn out all noble in the end. Even if he’s the one that ends up getting hit instead. So when he sees that a kid is about to get hit by a car, he’s not just going to idle watch as it happens. You see, Yusuke may be a hot-tempered pain in the behind but he’s not a jerk.
