Re: Yu Yu Hakushou Underrated?

This is a video response to darius19r, here I break down why I think Yu Yu Hakushou is underrated and give some theories why.

Here is darius19r's original video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0GGUWCzfdc

*Also, Berserk came out in 1990, almost the same time as Yu Yu Hakushou, not 1988 as I stated in the video.

YYH is better than DBZ in my opinion. But overall it still has many cliches, which is surprising because Togashi's Hunter x Hunter is completely the opposite, no cliches at all. So, in addition to many other reasons, I think that HxH is the real underrated manga/anime here :/

@HisokaBungie Like the insanegamefreak said, the only reason why Yu Yu Hakusho feels cliche is because it set the trend. But it did take characterization to a whole new level; it revolutionized the shounen genre in that way. And I think HunterxHunter continued that trend, and I think it's the best ongoing shounen series; although I don't think it's as underrated as Yu Yu Hakusho is.

How come sports shounen from the 80's, specifically Touch and Captain Tsubasa, are always ignored. These series were huge...

[uberhikari]

@michaelluxyz That's a good question. I don't really know why. Maybe because the shounen genre is so dominant we tend to forget about the important manga in other genres. For me personally, I'm not that interested in sports manga so I don't watch them.

I tried watching the anime a long while back and i just couldn't get into to it. It was SO BORING. it was lifeless, pale, uninteresting. Most of the characters were extremely one dimensional to me. The story arcs were also pretty boring too( the dark tournament arc was such HUGE bore fest. i was hyped for nothing. It's like the original Dragon Ball minus all the charm that made it so very enjoyable to read.

[uberhikari]

@KingofSinnoh If you thought the Dark Tournament Saga was boring, then you're either incapable of being excited or you have very very particular tastes. I think it's the latter, so for you I wouldn't recommend giving this another try if you thought it was so terrible the first time around.

I think YuYu Hakusho is very popular, even now. I mean, back in the 90s, it was up there with DBZ. Now, lots of people are still talking about the good times that they had with it. Personally, I think YYH isn't underrated since many DBZ fans tend to watch YYH also. What do I think is an underrated manga? Psyren- check it out if you haven't already done so.

so the nerd nigga's paying attention to this or what

[HaloandMetroid]

@Sintron3030 It would have been far simpler to explain why you disagree with me. Instead of calling me names and judging me. Maybe you should try explain why you think the series is bad instead of insulting people and I will take it seriously and realize and understand to you the series just sucked. As your opinion is just as valid as mine. So why is it that you don't like this series?

[Sintron3030]

this reminds me that i really need to start reading hunterxhunter

[HaloandMetroid]

@Sintron3030 Nope. Its just my favorite. I know there is better. I have seen a lot of anime and read a lot of manga in my day. This and the Dragon Ball series are just a few of my favorites. I have a lot of favorites. There are very few anime/manga series that I don't like. Since I'm boring you let me leave you with this. When you resort to personal insults you automatically lose. I didn't label you based off of what you like so what gives you the right to do that to me?
