20 episodes in and it is pretty average to mediocre. Why do people love it so much ?
>>155938540
Because they watched it at age 13 and never got over shounenshit.
gets better at the start of the next arc
>>155938540
For me it didn't get good until Toguro showed up
>>155938540
Because they only watched the first 2 arcs and never saw how shitty it got after the dark tournament
>>155939203
Fuck off, those arcs were the best.
>>155938540
Stop watching and switch to Naruto, at least it is still relevantxD
dark tournament arc with proto komugi-meruem relation
>>155939203
But Chapter Black was great until the asspull with Yusuke at the end.
>>155938540
Read the manga, faggot.
>>155938673
Kill yourself, moeshitter.
>>155938540
Same case with Evangelion and Dragon Ball. Invented a lot of the tropes.
>>155938540
yu yu have the same problem as HxH if you dont reach the episode 1323214213412424 never gets better my recomend is go and see other shows
20 fucking episodes wont worth the effort
>>155939549
>moeshitter
How'd you arrive at that conclusion?
>Toguro traded away his humanity to be a literal third-rate demon.
>>155939798
Everyone who doesn't like weekly battle shounen only likes CGDCT, don't you know? Those are the only genres of anime/manga in existence, after all.
>>155938540
Personally, I loved the music. Also, I prefer dub Yusuke over the original. Every other voice, the original is better.

well thats not fair since its all hindsight.
>>155938540
>mediocre
Stop using this as a synonym for bad
>>155939924
>I want to be the most powerful type of demon
>ends up a high B-class
How did the Tourny not lose all credibility. That combined with his need to consume souls just to maintain 80% and up it is monkey paw tier wish. I can understand it not being S, there are only 3 of them and are considered myths by most. A class on the other hand is something everybody knows, Youko Kurama is stronger than Toguro and I'm pretty sure Hie was too after absorbing the dragon but was worn out from his fight.
>>155938540

Unfortunate we will never get clean, good quality versions of most of the BGM. The masters are likely long gone, could only do something like Mobile Suit Gundam and edit it from anime footage.

>>155939203
But Chapter Black is one of the best arcs
and the 3 Kings arc isn't as bad as people remember.
>>155940972
>Youko Kurama is stronger than Toguro
Is this headcanon? Because I don't recall that ever being stated in either the manga or the anime.
>>155941355
If I remember correctly Koenma says both Hei and Kurama are now A class after the start of chapter black as he's explaining the tiers to Yusuke.
I remember because I made a thread asking why they didn't just have Kurama fight Toguro.
>>155941188
Me too. I'm rewatching it right now actually and
I would say to OP that he's about 6 episodes from the start of it getting better in season 2. The short Yukina arc is where it really picks up.
>>155938540
>Why do people love it so much ?
It's overrated shit.
>>155940972
>there are only 3 of them
False.
>>155938540
nostalgia, it's really not that good, just your average asspulls, deus exs and plot armor. Some cool characters though, and tournament arcs are always cool but that's about it.
>no kuwabara in Three Kings
>>155938540
The arc with the evil spirit detective before him was pretty neat the first tournament arc was good as well rest is shite.
>>155943165
Dark Tournament is leagues better. That asspull at the end chapter black sours the whole series for me.
>>155939549
The manga isn't all that much better.
I honestly dint like the first major arc because I was mecha fag when I watched it. Tournament Arc was tits tho
>>155942375
Toguro specifically wanted to fight Yusuke, that was the entire point of the Dark Tournament, it was meant to be a test of two prime fighters, but Genkai couldn't due to her age and some other shit so she passed everything she could to Yusuke to take her stead to prove humanity's true strength.Too bad Yusuke was a demon in the end anyway so that was kind of redundant
>>155941355
Kurama was A-class, Toguro B-class. This is established from that guy bragging about hunting him down in both the manga and the anime.
>>155938540
Nostalgiagoogles.
>>155938540
OMG I, like, totally have a unique opinion that doesn't fit what everybody else think and therefore, I'm so much cooler than everyone else. Thank god for this thread with a lot of people who definitely isn't samefagging and share my unique opinion, I was starting to think I was too cool for this board.
The Dark hand tournament arc is the best of the series. Which is what OP is about to get into. After that its not worth continuing. Even cartoon network stopped airing the show after that.
Pros
- Has one of the best english dubs ever
- Dark hand tournament arc that ends around ep 65.
- is a fast paced shonen that ends and concludes the entire story after 120 episodes.
- good character developement of a deliquent hero.
- Heih
Cons
- weak start (it was supposed to be a paranormal mystery series but the first arc tanks and so the whole show was retooled)
- gets weak again after dark hand tourney, but fortunately the last arc wraps up the story.
- can be real ass pulley at times with winning battles.

>there are only 3 of them
Kings, Raizen's friends, Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, Shura, Cho, Jin, Suzuka
>>155943328
Chapter Black until the asspull was by far the best
Kaito's mindgame against Kurama, Kuwabara vs that guy, Yusuke vs Doctor,
>>155938540
They watched it as kids so it was better back then.
I also watched it when I was 8 so I really liked it but if I try to read or watch it nowadays it feels like trash.
>>155939620
What trope did YYH invent? Tournament arcs? Shouting super powers? Transformations? Fuckbois? YYH invented nothing.
Dragon Ball invented jack shit too, it copied everything from old manga.
>>155939380
>proto komugi-meruem relation
wut
>>155946304
It started the "characters voiced by Nobuyuki Hiyama" trope.
Yu Yu Hakusho still had some amazing animation.
Just youtube some fight scenes, the amount of effort put into the animation is a real treat of its own.
>>155942375
>>155945089
Okay, but that's during Chapter Black. Your post seemed like you were talking about the Dark Tournament, which is why I was calling bullshit on Kurama being stronger than Toguro. Maybe I misinterpreted.
>>155946812
No I understood you were talking about the dark tournament. It's why I said Koenma said it right at the beginning of chapter black. I see no reason they would have gotten significantly stronger after the dark tournament finished. I'm mostly talking about Kurama though since he seemed to have no issues in his Yoko Kurama fights other than being able to maintain the form.
>>155946812
Kurama's demon form was always A class, he just couldn't access it very long during the Dark Tournament. Kurama as human was obviously weaker than Toguro.
>>155938540
Man, Yusuke's pretty effay.
>>155940972
>only 3 of them
lel wut
the three you are thinking of werent even the strong ones
raizens friends were the actual big guys of the series
yyh is a fucking fantastic series, ive rewatched it multiple times over the years and it holds up just fine - its basically a non dogshit version of bleach, or rather what kubo tried and failed to copy
>>155947267
Damn straight.
I don't remember him and kuwabara being this thin though.
Did Kurama took over Shuichi's body or took his place in his mother's womb like a cuckoo bird?
>>155947363
Raizen was a strong one, but he was tarving and that's why he was weak enough for Yomi to compete with him.
I don't really remember how Mukuro got to be strong though.
>>155947620
Yes
>>155947620
His memories and spiritual power merged with unborn Shuichi. They're distinct characters but it influenced Shuichi's personality.
>>155947757
>Raizen
Ayy LMAO
>>155938540
Its power level heavy and highly inspired of DB, but with Togashi personal touch.
>>155947888
You mean that Suichi is alive and well?
Then what exactly is Kurama?
>>155941188
These tracks are great, and I get the feeling they would go really well with SMT games.
>>155939203
the final arc is the best, sorry if you have shit taste
>>155938540
The girls in the Manga are a 10 on the CUTE scale
