Our View:

Oh boy, Yu Yu Hakusho - brings so much memories! Although this anime is older than use, but watching it has always given us the chills, which shows how powerful the impact of the anime to us. I can't really say much, other than this anime being one of the the most awesome that I have ever seen! Although, to be honest Syibrie never really watched this anime fully, but still, one can never ignore a masterpiece!. The series centers around a boy who died trying to save a kid who was about to be killed in a car accident. To earn his right back into existence, he has to serve a lord where he has to fight as a ghost to keep away demons from disturbing the human world. The anime has been given mostly positive reviews by critics in North America, which compliment its writing, characters, and amount of action. Some reviewers have judged the series as being too repetitive. So guys, what are you waiting for? Be sure to watch this epic anime of martial arts, comedy and fantasy that will surely excite anyone who watches it!
