Pretty common trope. You see, he's a fighting prodigy and has also the amazing potential of his bloodline so therefore he can become more powerful than anyone can no matter what they do. The main appeal to the character was never about that though. It was the struggles to get there. It was his personality of a veritable asshat but with a heart of gold. The way he hung out with the others and got into their situation makes dynamics I can't begin to put into a character limit here like Charlie mentions. Putting that on fast forward, it turns whatever goodness into a mishmash of confusion even the fans can only shrug their shoulders at.

My biggest gripe with it is that live actions are so afraid of downtime that builds the relationship between the characters and audience. Spirit orb, training, banter during travel to dark tournament should all slow down the narrative to hit harder at plot climaxes

[@GuyWithAnAmazingHat]

As an animator, this live action has the best choreographed, executed and animated action I've seen in a very long time, the stunt and animation team are outstanding. Even in Hollywood movies, when super heroes jump and land from heights, you can easily tell they are on wire, everything feels floaty, but in YYHLA, every single move has so much weight and impact that there's no floatiness at all. It's the first time wall runs and tokusatsu air flips feel realistic and have weight and contact with surfaces, it's the best action Japan ever made.

Yes he wanted to work on hunter hunter but he had much bigger plans for the ending of yu yu hakusho but was rushed so he couldint continue his idea. The ending wasn’t even supposed to be a tourney it was supposed to be an all out war in demon world and also fighting against koenmas dad after they find out he was allowing demons into human world/setting up disputes to justify his presence and doing shady things. Togashi had actually really loved his writing and had more plans but was rushed so he took the easy rushed ending.

[@zzBaBzz]

@@BetaNurse68 Actually, he didn't burn out. He in fact almost DIED several, LITERALLY several times because the publisher kept bullying and harassing him, making him stay awake non-stop for a full week on several occasions, calling him after midnight (and angrily going to his place to yell if he didn't pick up) and forcing him to redo ENTIRE PAGES because they didn't like ONE tiny thing in the background and shit. As much as Sailor Moon is garbage, if it wasn't for his now-wife creator, he would've died. She went full aggro on the publisher, threatened them with lawsuits and a police investigation, she showed up to make him food (he only ate instant ramen, since no time for anything else), forced him to rest, helped out with drawing (mostly contouring but hey, that shit takes just as much time). In the end, he rushed the manga ending, aka, literally skipped through half the demon tournament arc, including the last fights (Yuusuke etc), as a huge FUCK YOU to the publisher. But he also set up the next arc, where Koenma investigates his daddy for being a dick and forcefully keeping the dimensions separately so he can have sole ownership of the souls and shit. He loved, and still loves it, but he's traumatized and gets flashabcks and shit whenever he tries drawing more. I wish he would've focused on YYH instead of HxH's garbage ant arc. ^^;

The fight scenes in the Netflix adaptation of YYH are better than any fight scene in a Marvel/dc movie.

Yeah, the choreo and cgi was so good in the fight scenes. I think it’s a shame, it could’ve been a really good live adaptation if they made it just a little longer.

In fact, the mosquitos that were zombifying the town were introduced and just forgotten. I feel like they should've just tested the waters by ending the season with the sacred beasts. There was a lot of great character dynamics established in this arc since it's the first time the YYH boys had to work as a team. It feels like they were scared that YYH fans would get bored if they don't have the dark tournament right away so they ignored the other stuff that wasn't as iconic. The dark tournament in this felt like cool fight scenes done by a high budget youtube fan film with exceptional action but no understanding of what made YYH really good. TBH the fight animation in the anime is mostly okay aside from the important fights. The drama and build up of the fights is what really elevates the show to be better than most well animated action animes made even today.

If this was 8 episodes, it could've been amazing. We could've done the genkai tournament and maze castle arcs

[@AshlynOne]

YYH is by far my favorite anime. It's a shame to see how the second half of this show fell apart. The first half was actually really well done...

[@ryzen8039]

Naa 4 kings sure but chapter black is really good

[@AshlynOne]

@@ryzen8039 The second half of the Netflix show, not the original. Chapter Black is the second best part of the anime, which is saying a lot.

[@ryzen8039]

@@AshlynOne oh OK mah bad

[@aimlessgamer6187]

I think if they took their time it would of been amazing. Maybe 10 episodes and set up the dark tournament.

[@AshlynOne]

@@ryzen8039 All good, I was pretty vague.

[@spawncampe]

I highly recommend the Rurouni Kenshin movies if you wanna see a great live action anime

[@asksalottle220]

Yuyu hakusho is my favorite anime series. I recognize it was very condensed and wish it wasnt, because they skip over some very important character development, but Ive seen 1 episode and dont hate it.

[@bagetter0072]

this will end up being the biggest yuyu hakusho ad in the last 20 years, for both the anime and live action

[@Distillicit]

What hasn’t Netflix ruined

[@jaegerwhatifs4679]

They seem to be popularizing One Piece more in the west at least.

[@NinjAsylum]

Netflix hasnt ever actually ruined anything, aside from cancelling shows on a cliffhanger. You listen to too many idiots on twitter (like IGN) that have no taste (Like Charlie) and dont know any better. Most of their shows are actually quite good.

[@grimixgimmix6928]

When he said “Netflix Live Action Anime” I actually froze in fear 😨 almost shit myself

[@croo4782]

These bits are crazy💀💀

[@YouBlinder]

Charlie's opinion on the live action is basically the inner voice in my head while watching the show. I loved yu yu hakusho and watched it dubbed by animax as a kid so many times, to rewatching in japanese as an adult. It was good till ep 4, I really wished they did an original ending the live action instead of just played out the first toguro vs yusuke fight with elder toguro. But they had to make it all goofy and genkai giving out her spirit wave orb like its furniture on Craigslist.

Even with One Piece, I'm still concerned how they're gonna pull off the rest of that adaptation

[@NightLordJagon]

These studios need to just follow what One Piece Live Action did....That show was amazing, it had its problems yes but it is like the best Live Action Anime ever....They stuck to alot of the same ideas and themes from the show and really built off of it...And the creator was formally behind it...That is how you do a great live action...

[@Th1sUsernameIsNotTaken]

Haven't watched OP live action yet, but Rurouni Kenshin is considered one of the best Live actions too if you haven't seen it. It is done extremely well.

[@ItsBTrue]

This adaptation could not have been implemented in a worse way. Absolute abomination

[@LuigiL75]

Yeah...it's Netflix...it's what they do!

[@CrimsonFIame]

It was ok. That's the best I can say about it. Yu Yu Hakusho is my all time favorite series it's hard to ignore the pacing and how bad the cgi was in some area's and how good the cinematography was in other area's. Like he said it's not the worst but it's not the best either

[@bluz1864]

Yeah. I told my fiance who really loved it that I didn't hate it. I wouldn't watch the live action again but I don't feel like it wasted my time.

[@erikawalata1741]

The hair styling department for this show deserves all the awards available. I think we can all agree that every character in that show had fabulous hair.

[@SpecialSnowflakeHD]

Honestly, the show would have been a lot better if they didn’t even introduce any of the dark tournament elements, and they only focused on the demon bugs, and the saint beasts.

[@Kuhmodo]

They should've just leaned in heavily on Season 1. If they were that scared it wasn't going to get a season 2 then they shouldn't have wasted their time making season 1.

[@ElleriaZer]

Stuffing so many episodes into only 5 is really the biggest problem. Doing it this well could easily have led to a second season if they hadn't botched it with the rushing. I think they could have gone through the first fight with toguro, the one he threw and then end the season with him getting "invited" to the dark tournament. Iit just makes me sad how good it could have been because it was done well for what it was, and could have been so much more.

[@Juggy1111]

I feel like making direct comparisons to the anime, like choreographing fights and iconic moments very similar to the anime will make most enjoy it more. It's not that it's flashy, but it gives the viewer a sense of familiarity.

[@tristandaries1129]

I feel like if they advertised this as a highlight reel for people who have already finished the source material, it would have been way better

[@slaper12x]

What kills me the most about this adaption is that outside of the heavily cut down plot issue which borderline ruins the entire experience with how much amazing character development, interactions and fights we were robbed of, the casting, the vocal performances, the sound design, the CGI and especially the fight choreography are great overall. This seriously had the potential to be the best live action adaptions ever made if they just slowed things down and focused more on the plot. Now if they get a second season all we have left is Chapter Black (which is a fantastic arc) and the Three Kings arc (much less so sadly) so they effectively put themselves into a corner. So sad :(

[@Bowltoker]

It’s impossible to make a live action like the show unless you want them to work on it for 20 years how do you dumb boys not understand pretty sure Charlie said something similar and mfs think it’s supposed to be the best shit ever made no… it’s supposed to be good and it was just because of the fights

[@jadenbryant9283]

You could do the anime filler approach but considering game of thrones problem was that they couldn't use the source material yeah there screwed

[@charles7998]

I had never watched the anime and had never planned to but the live action has given me a lot of interest, I also agree that it could have used more episodes but I felt that things like the orb scene held weight just because you knew why it was happening, also the demon who is all noodly was such a joy to watch the body language and his voice acting spot on man I loved every scene with him

[@b00g3rs21]

As if Togashi didn't deal with enough the first time around, Netflix came back to slap his work in the face yet again.

[@ao2415]

They probably didnt expect this old anime to still be really popular and doesnt expect a 2nd season. All the fighting scenes slaps tho so i dont even get mad.

[@SakuraAvalon]

It's a real shame. The fight scenes in this blow many shows out of the water. One Piece LA can't even compete. But the story and characters are incredibly hurt by the breakneck speed. Genkai is one of my favourite characters in YYH, but here? She's barely of note. Her death has no real impact, except on the wall he punched her through. I've said it before, they should have just done up to Rando. Even if they thought/knew they wouldn't get a season 2.
