DEAR HAKUSHO FANS, im not sure if any of you are into gaming as I am, but if this comment can get enough likes, perhaps Justin Cook can try to get a deal with one of the current gaming companies and release a brand new yu yu hakusho fighting game featuring all our favorite characters!! thanks! SPIRIT GUN!!!
Whenever I think of Yu Yu Hakusho, I remember that summer night back in 2002. I was almost 16, and my family went to a campground and they were off visiting someone. So there I was chair, fire, and small black and white tv that picked up Cartoon Network. So I sat and watched one of the maze castle episodes. Great night. The only things that could have made the night any better would be if I had a beer underage or lost my virginity...but I'll take what I can get. But still it was pretty good.
Justin cok! ur are awesome, fanstic and great at what you do. I only wish that i could see you dubed more. but indeed YYH is indeed one of my favorites and u are my favoritve voice actor. I hope to see you do the 2nd movie as well as the one that i will get in store. It is a pleasure hearing ur voice again and i i hope to see mroe. Thank you Justin cook!
Thank you Mr. Cook, your performance of Yusuke is truly unique and unmatched. I can tell you put a lot of care into what you do (voice or otherwise) and I thank you for that.
Its also incredible that your team is doing a new dub of the OVA/Mini-movie. Now if you could do the same for Yu Yu Hakusho: Poltergeist Report, my life will be complete.
Thanks again, and I hope to give you all of my money for these Blu-Rays/DVDs very soon.
Thanks you so much Justin.. Yu Yu Hakusho is my favorite anime of all time. I already own the dvd boxsets, so I'm not sure if I should get the blu-rays.
Justin Cook, you've always been my hero. Yusuke Urameshi is my favorite anime character of all time, and I look up to him as an older brother (as you can see by my username). You're an amazing voice actor and producer, and by translating Eizou Hakusho and at least one of the movies makes me and I'm sure many other fans extremely happy--perhaps even a dream come true. Thank you so much for doing this, words cannot explain how thankful I am.
Hey, Justin Cook? Forgive me if this is a repeated question and even though this might be a little late, but have you or Funimation ever thought of owning the licenses of the latest Playstation 2 Yu Yu Hakusho video games (after Yu Yu Hakusho: Dark Tournament) and release them to North America with the English voice actors?
@HuntOmarDoug Well, since there are no uploader comments, I doubt Justin Cook will be able to answer, but allow me to break the bad news to you. FUNimation doesn't actually license games, at all. As much as I personally would love games like Yu Yu Hakusho: Forever and Yu Yu Hakusho: 120% get a release in this continent, I don't know that it will happen at this point (since the PS2 is half dead now), if you want it that badly, you can Google to see if there are petitions or anything like that.
And as Keiko just like Justin Cook is to Yusuke THERE CAN BE NO OTHER! This cast defines these rolls. No one will ever match the energy and fantastic performances. Thank you for dubbing Yu Yu Hakusho. I have all the dvds and buying a blu ray player specifically for Yu Yu Hakusho when the 4th season is released. No joke. I thought blu ray was a waste of time. I still do but Yu Yu Hakusho isn't. To prove my point I've watched the series 7 times over to date.
Justin, huge and most likely biggest fan of Yu Yu Hakusho. If you're reading this please pass this on to the cast for me:
I don't like alot of American voice actors actresses. But Yu Yu Hakusho is the ONLY DUB anime where I couldn't find a single complaint about the voice actor/actress choices. I actually cannot watch the Japanese version because I love the dub so much. Also, Laura Baily is an amazing voice actress. Kodocha was phenomenal thanks to her incredible energy.
Funimation. Thank you so, so very much for revoicing this series, and for dubbing the OVA, movie, and shorts. You have no idea how happy you've just made me. This is my all-time favorite anime, and I am so excited to hear these voices again. Thank you. I love you guys.
I was really hesitant about buying the Blu Ray release since I already owned the series on DVD, but I have to say the upgrade was worth every penny. YYH has been one of my favorites for over a decade now. Although the DVDs aren't bad, the Blu Ray upgrade really is a huge treat.
Thank you so much Justin Cook and the rest of the cast and everyone that worked on YYH. Thank you all for putting so much time and love into my most favorite thing in the world. I dont care that I JUST bought the DVD's, I'll buy the blu-rays and OVAs and movies.
@FabulousZero Yeah, but in exchange, we have to put up with the fact that pretty much every major villain after the Saint Beast arc will turn out to be a "Draco in Leather Pants", or will have some ridiculous explanation as to how they're not COMPLETE monsters. At least, all the ones who aren't ugly.
But yeah, outside of those moments, and a few gripes I have about how everyones power seems to dramatically increase for no reason, this series is amazing.
Wow finally! ive been w8ing 4 the eizou to be dubbed for so long!!!! its about time! this guy's voice as yusuke is one of my favourite lead character voice in anime! now since they're correcting things like suzuki's name are they gonna finally pronounce yusuke's surname Urameshi and not Yurameshi?
holy crap! THEIR FINALLY DUBBING THE MOVIES AND OVAS AAAAAHHHHH YES!!! those yyh movies that were english dubbed with another company were WIERD!!! the voices pissed me off!!! I Love funimation!!!! GAHHH!!! BUT WHERE WILL I FIND THE MONEY FOR BLU-RAY!? I ALREADY HAVE ALL THE EPS ON REGULAR DVD WHADDA I DO!?....that'd be awesome if the newly dubbed series and movie got put on the air again! that'd be great!!!!
trust me, you guys if you actually dubbed eizou hakusho... i will guarantee you this much... you will not be disappointed at all, and you will be doing alot of good to the world. i sure hope its not a tease, i mean ive been looking forward to it since 2006 after finally finishing the series, hoping there would be more to the conclusion. there is but not dubbed... i was sad but now that hope can be rejuvenated.
Are you really doing the movie(s) and Eizou Hakusho!? I will just die. seriously. You have too. Not to say that I didn't already buy the Japanese versions off ebay, but having them in English would be a dream. PLEASE, from the words a drear fan and many others, you have to do them! I still think of all you actors when I hear you in other amines! You ALL are amazing! May YYH never end...
i love yuyu hakusho it is my favorite anime ever!.. but it took me forever to get the dvds i have now... how in the world am i going to get the remastered?! ill figure it out>.< i may just have to bye them again:)
oh and my favorite character(if i were to chose one) is yusuke:)
i love yuyu hakusho it is my favorite anime ever!.. but it took me forever to get the dvds i have now... how in the world am i going to get the remastered?! ill figure it out>.< i may just have to bye them again:)
AHHHH man i was wondering what he's been doin lately i bought the entire series like a couple of months ago and NOW there gonna make a remaster i want my money bak.
You guys got Eizou and dubbing it?!?! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Will all the image songs be translated to English?
And what a great opportunity for those who re-recorded. I still love your original dub, but to think it's going to become even better is very exciting!
I hope when Funi releases the re-dubbed movies they're going to be on DvD too, and not just blu-ray. 'Cause I don't have a blu-ray player. ): But other than that, OMG, I'M SO EXCITED!
Yu Yu Hakusho is, and has always been/always will be, my favorite anime. ever since watching it on toonami... Ive seen it though 5 times through, have all of the dvds, the games, and of course merch. Meeting you at comic-con was an absolute honor and im sooo excited about this. i will get a blue-ray player just for this if i have to xD not to mention how excited i am about the dub for a movie, the other company made my ears bleed.. thanks for truly caring about this show for as long as its been
if your doing the Enzoe's then it wont matter if the voices change. all that takes place after the series anyway. I'm very glad they're bringing back this anime though. one of my favorite and i think it got VASTLY over looked due to Dragon Ballz. looking forward to the Blu Ray and also to the movies that were dubbed by another company. Keep up the great work :)
You should all re-do all the Yu Yu Hakusho movies because the original voice cast from the movies is terrible. I can't even watch 5 minutes of any of them because I love the original Eng. cast from the series so much. I don't really mind if a few a your voices have changed over the time as long as it's your voice recording. I love all the voice actors from the Yu Yu series, it's my favorite fighting anime series of all time and I continue to watch all the seasons dozens of times.
I just want to say thank you, Justin, for taking the time to make this vlog, and thanks also to everyone at FUNimation for putting so much work into my favorite anime of all time. I am unspeakably happy to hear that Eizou Hakusho is finally licensed and that you are redubbing at least one of the movies. I hadn't been planning on buying the Blu-Ray, since I already own the entire series on DVD, but I certainly will now.
Here's to many more years of FUNimation doing classic anime justice.
Um, how anime itself is done. And to show everyone. ^^.
In short. Yu Yu Hakusho is the best anime ever. Anyone who disagrees can youtube the ending to Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back. I believe that says it best. Also, Yu Yu Hakusho essentially does that to anyone who watches it and thinks there are better. Ha, no one will ever come close.
you guys should ask Lanipator if he can provide voices, he's done a pretty good job at parodying the show, and his voices are surprisingly similar to you guys.
@DemonGroceryStore No, No, I do not want Lani to help with this. I think his voice is strictly for parody. As much as I like his abridged series. There's no way he can be apart of Yu Yu Hakusho.
I already own the second Yu Yu Hakusho movie and planning on getting the first movie with the Ninku movie, but when FUNimation release the movies I will definitely buy them.
this is my all time favorite anime, and I'm so glad to see that the people behind the dubbing actually care about what they put into this show. it's a really great show and I'm pretty excited about it coming out on blu-ray again, gives me a chance to relive it all over again ^_^
Damn I love when producers care about their older days of anime...especially YYH Ive missed that show I have the first season but now that I hear its on Blu Ray I'm getting this!
@XSanosukeXInaraX it starts off slow but it gets so much better as the story goes on but one piece doesn't get really good tell the 30's but you can't skip the first episodes cause won't make sense
@petplatypus Luckily, the new sets have 26 episodes each. The 1st one's out, and the 2nd one comes out next month, so I'll be able to get to "the good parts" pretty quickly.
@KingPiccolo08 Actually, I happen to know the three kings arc is not filler, I have the last couple volumes of the manga and it's there. The only thing there is the anime ended differently than the manga. But really, the anime did cut a lot out from what I've see, like the beginning where Yusuke was dead was a lot longer in the manga.
@PusoPimp - Yeah, I know. But they added a lot of extra content that wasn't there--I distinctly remember the manga barely covered Yomi's fights with his son or Yusuke, for instance.
But they did a good job with the added material. So it didn't bother me that it wasn't pitch perfect canon, since I thought the way Togashi handled the Three Kings arc was lame. That's what I meant.
@KingPiccolo08 Well yeah, but fight scenes are almost always extended in the transition to anime, because in mange they're just a series of drawings, so those things they added to flesh them out were kinda necessary, you want them to be substantial, this goes for any anime adaptation. Well, the end made me long for more, and the parts they cut out of the manga were pretty epic, and there were entire elements they ignored, like the fact that Yusuke drinks like an uncle. But it was great anyway.
@FabulousZero Bullshit, dumb fuck. Don't get me wrong, YYH is a great show, but to say it's the best shounen ever is a total bullshit, plain and simple. There are plenty of shorter(under 50 eps) shounen that beat the shit out f it=FACT.
But I don't expect a dumb fuck like you(or the dumb fucks that upped ur comment) to comprehend those facts. I'll be taking my leave of this vid permanently, and since u can't contact many any other way, this is our last contact. Deal with it, bitch. u all lose.
You mentioned dubbing the 1993 movie as well as Eizou Hakusho. Will you also be dubbing the 1994 movie, too? I mean, as interesting as it is that y'all are re-dubbing the series for this release, I'm really more interested in the movies than the series release. Also, will the releases have the episode commentaries from the Japanese release?
this is great! i just wish i had known about this a month ago before i bought the entire series on DVD. shoot maybe i'll just get it again for the heck of it but later on.
Why does this guy say the only free time he has is during commute as if he is so freaking bysy all day long. All these fools think they are so busy yet all they ever do is chit chat and bullshit all day long at work.
Wow, if I had a blu-ray (and didn't already have the whole series on DVD) I'd get that shit. I hope they separately release the Eizou Hakusho, 'cause I'm having a hard time finding that on DVD (or VHS, since it's old), supposedly U.S. Mangacorps had a dub of it, but really can't find that anywhere, even online. Can't find Eizou Hakusho II online period, except for a few clips, all of which are in Japanese, no subs. Glad they're dubbing the movie too, my friend thought it was abridged LANIPWNED!
@PusoPimp The Eizou Hakusho OVAs were never licensed here until now. I know that Anime News Network has a cast up but that was likely put in by someone not from the staff since forum members can edit their encyclopedia pages as well.
@NJ973201 That explains a lot. As I said, I hope they release it separately, since I really don't want to have to buy a whole damn box set. I hope they dub Poltergeist Report too, 'cause I didn't like U.S. MangaCorps Dub of that either. I guess it was better than Media Blast's Dub of the first movie, but still.
THANK YOU FUNIMATION AND JUSTIN COOK FOR THIS GREAT NEWS FOR YYH FANS!!! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE Eizou Hakusho releases! I hope it's for both DVD and bluray just like the Japanese release :)
@AdvertChild98 If your asking if Justin Cook is then YES! He plays Yusuke Urameshi the main character in Yu YU Hakusho and has done a great number of other anime shows, google him! Hes one of the voice actors I really want to meet one day!
@MsDBZbabe REALLY?! I never realized that. His voice sounds like a teenager in YYH (could it be he voice the character 10 years ago??), but now his voice is a typical grown man. Voice actors really have talent to make all sort of voices. ^^
Justin Cook and Funimation crew, I've got nothing but respect and appreciation for you all. Thanks for continually keeping the fans updated and throughly informed.
Man...already have the full series on DVD (and I have watched them good couple of times through over the years lol), but after watching this vid, I'm seriously considering adding the Blu-rays to my collection. xD Though I'll probably wait until the full series is out to buy so I can focus on the other series I currently have that need to be finished. XD
Here's hoping you guys have the 2009 picture drama too as that was an exclusive extra from the Japanese Blu-ray sets that takes place after the end of the series.
Did I hear that correctly? You guys are going to dub the Hakusho movie yourselves?! I hope that's true because it would be TOTALLY FLIPPING AWESOME!!!
OMG You guys are dubbing the movie and OVA!? I've been waiting so long to hear this! Fingers crossed, will they be released on DVD for those of us without Bluray?
I just find it so amazing that you would go to such lengths to fix up Yu Yu Hakusho from translation changes to doing voice overs that are probably much different from how many years have passed. I've bought every season of YYH on DVD already but I'm really tempted to go out for the Blu-Ray just for all the work you guys put into it. Amazing job ^_^.
DEAR HAKUSHO FANS, im not sure if any of you are into gaming as I am, but if this comment can get enough likes, perhaps Justin Cook can try to get a deal with one of the current gaming companies and release a brand new yu yu hakusho fighting game featuring all our favorite characters!! thanks!

Yu Yu Hakusho is, and has always been/always will be, my favorite anime. ever since watching it on toonami... Ive seen it though 5 times through, have all of the dvds, the games, and of course merch. Meeting you at comic-con was an absolute honor and im sooo excited about this. i will get a blue-ray player just for this if i have to xD not to mention how excited i am about the dub for a movie, the other company made my ears bleed.. thanks for truly caring about this show for as long as its been
angelica462 9 months ago 2
if your doing the Enzoe's then it wont matter if the voices change. all that takes place after the series anyway. I'm very glad they're bringing back this anime though. one of my favorite and i think it got VASTLY over looked due to Dragon Ballz. looking forward to the Blu Ray and also to the movies that were dubbed by another company. Keep up the great work :)

You should all re-do all the Yu Yu Hakusho movies because the original voice cast from the movies is terrible. I can't even watch 5 minutes of any of them because I love the original Eng. cast from the series so much. I don't really mind if a few a your voices have changed over the time as long as it's your voice recording. I love all the voice actors from the Yu Yu series, it's my favorite fighting anime series of all time and I continue to watch all the seasons dozens of times.

I just want to say thank you, Justin, for taking the time to make this vlog, and thanks also to everyone at FUNimation for putting so much work into my favorite anime of all time. I am unspeakably happy to hear that Eizou Hakusho is finally licensed and that you are redubbing at least one of the movies. I hadn't been planning on buying the Blu-Ray, since I already own the entire series on DVD, but I certainly will now.
Here's to many more years of FUNimation doing classic anime justice.

Um, how anime itself is done. And to show everyone. ^^.
In short. Yu Yu Hakusho is the best anime ever. Anyone who disagrees can youtube the ending to Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back. I believe that says it best. Also, Yu Yu Hakusho essentially does that to anyone who watches it and thinks there are better. Ha, no one will ever come close.

you guys should ask Lanipator if he can provide voices, he's done a pretty good job at parodying the show, and his voices are surprisingly similar to you guys.

@DemonGroceryStore No, No, I do not want Lani to help with this. I think his voice is strictly for parody. As much as I like his abridged series. There's no way he can be apart of Yu Yu Hakusho.

@XSanosukeXInaraX it starts off slow but it gets so much better as the story goes on but one piece doesn't get really good tell the 30's but you can't skip the first episodes cause won't make sense

@petplatypus Luckily, the new sets have 26 episodes each. The 1st one's out, and the 2nd one comes out next month, so I'll be able to get to "the good parts" pretty quickly.
Anyway, thanks for the recommendation.

@FabulousZero - It did have filler--but it was GOOD filler, especially in the Three Kings arc, as it really fleshed things out well.
You know a series is awesome when it's awesome whether it's canon or not.
KingPiccolo08 6 months ago
@KingPiccolo08 Actually, I happen to know the three kings arc is not filler, I have the last couple volumes of the manga and it's there. The only thing there is the anime ended differently than the manga. But really, the anime did cut a lot out from what I've see, like the beginning where Yusuke was dead was a lot longer in the manga.
PusoPimp 6 months ago
@PusoPimp - Yeah, I know. But they added a lot of extra content that wasn't there--I distinctly remember the manga barely covered Yomi's fights with his son or Yusuke, for instance.
But they did a good job with the added material. So it didn't bother me that it wasn't pitch perfect canon, since I thought the way Togashi handled the Three Kings arc was lame. That's what I meant.
KingPiccolo08 6 months ago
@KingPiccolo08 Well yeah, but fight scenes are almost always extended in the transition to anime, because in mange they're just a series of drawings, so those things they added to flesh them out were kinda necessary, you want them to be substantial, this goes for any anime adaptation. Well, the end made me long for more, and the parts they cut out of the manga were pretty epic, and there were entire elements they ignored, like the fact that Yusuke drinks like an uncle. But it was great anyway.
PusoPimp 6 months ago
@FabulousZero Bullshit, dumb fuck. Don't get me wrong, YYH is a great show, but to say it's the best shounen ever is a total bullshit, plain and simple. There are plenty of shorter(under 50 eps) shounen that beat the shit out f it=FACT.
But I don't expect a dumb fuck like you(or the dumb fucks that upped ur comment) to comprehend those facts. I'll be taking my leave of this vid permanently, and since u can't contact many any other way, this is our last contact. Deal with it, bitch. u all lose.

You mentioned dubbing the 1993 movie as well as Eizou Hakusho. Will you also be dubbing the 1994 movie, too? I mean, as interesting as it is that y'all are re-dubbing the series for this release, I'm really more interested in the movies than the series release. Also, will the releases have the episode commentaries from the Japanese release?

So are they going to redub Yu Yu Hakusho like they did with DBZ? I'm guessing that it will be called YYH Kai.
But, All Jokes Aside. If there doing anything remotely close to what they did with DBZ. I'm definately watching it :)
TheInuyashaFan917 9 months ago
Wow, if I had a blu-ray (and didn't already have the whole series on DVD) I'd get that shit. I hope they separately release the Eizou Hakusho, 'cause I'm having a hard time finding that on DVD (or VHS, since it's old), supposedly U.S. Mangacorps had a dub of it, but really can't find that anywhere, even online. Can't find Eizou Hakusho II online period, except for a few clips, all of which are in Japanese, no subs. Glad they're dubbing the movie too, my friend thought it was abridged LANIPWNED!
PusoPimp 9 months ago
@PusoPimp The Eizou Hakusho OVAs were never licensed here until now. I know that Anime News Network has a cast up but that was likely put in by someone not from the staff since forum members can edit their encyclopedia pages as well.
NJ973201 9 months ago
@NJ973201 That explains a lot. As I said, I hope they release it separately, since I really don't want to have to buy a whole damn box set. I hope they dub Poltergeist Report too, 'cause I didn't like U.S. MangaCorps Dub of that either. I guess it was better than Media Blast's Dub of the first movie, but still.
