  • Is YuYu Hakusho still good in 2022?
    I break down what makes a good shounen anime with a foolproof formula in this video. Yuyu Hakusho was an amazing shounen anime/manga when it first aired back in 1992. However, is that still true in 2022 when compared to new anime?
    Obviously, the best shounen anime must have at least 4 shounen tropes. These tropes being; tournament arcs, shouting the names of their attacks, they must have a Sasuke archetype, and last but not least, fan service.
    I also breakdown what makes a good shounen transformation by highlighting the best features of 'Goku turning Super Saiyan 3' from Dragon Ball Z. We compare and contrast Super Saiyan 3 with Yusuke Urameshi's Demon transformation.
    And finally, we delve into the Political Correctness of Yuyu Hakusho. This gives us an idea of whether or not this anime from the 90s would survive the harsh political climate of 2022.
    Do Not Mansplain!

      ​@@CallMeMick The Law enforcement is not true theres a lot crazy people that will smile about that. The news doesn't really reflect that. If any the crazy people would aim to get it canceled for supporting law enforcement sadly. I don't agree with those crazy people but that's the sad reality we really are in.

    It's my favorite anime, but that doesn't mean it's the greatest anime. If it is one thing though, is that it's one of the most inspirational especially to the much bigger anime like Naruto and Bleach in particular, and it's successor of Hunter x Hunter. Yu Yu Hakusho most certainly holds up today. Political correctness isn't going to get in the way of this one for me

    The closest thing I've seen to someone saying anything remotely negative about YuYu Hakusho overall are Hunter X Hunter fans calling it the inferior Togashi series - and even then, they still have a ton of love and respect for it. YYH really is that damn good.

    Any show aimed at being on Adult Swim I’d hope would have language that would offend. Tho truthfully Yusuke’s hands were Rated E for everyone and the anime was probably one of the most PC animes to ever exist as Yusuke doesn’t care who you are he’ll still knock ya out.

      Yeah, but he believes in equality more than any other anime. This show is the most PC friendly of em all.
      -He doesn’t care if you’re a baby, a woman, or a grandmother he’ll still knock you out.
      -He don’t care if your trans and wasn’t transphobic, in fact, he felt giving them special treatment for being trans is more disrespectful because you’re acknowledging they are different. The trans opponent thanked him for not thinking of them as a freak like others have, and Yusuke tells em he doesn’t care what gender they are his hands are Rated E for everyone.
      -He beats up teachers, he beats up nerds, it’s a micro aggression to think you’re safe from Yusuke’s hands.
      -He beats up people regardless of age, sex/gender, or ethnicity. All skin tones turn black and blue against Yusuke.
      -He’ll beat up the disabled too. Blind? Pretending to be blind? Hearing voices of trolls in your head? Doesn’t matter, Yusuke hands out beatings regardless.
      This show is so PC you’d be retar…I mean differently abled to want it canceled.

No it fucking isnt you only think that bc your brain has been brainwashed by politics like a lot of shows back then are similar to yuyu they just arent always a "anti pc or pc vibe."

    • @125SonGoku
      @125SonGoku Před rokem

      @@aeida6140 You’re missing the point like an idiot. The youtuber spent the end of the video talking about how this show probably wouldn’t air today or might offend potential viewers because “it isn’t PC enough.” Which I for one don’t give 2 shits about and isn’t a reason to not watch the show. This is one of the best animes of all time, and Yusuke’s fists are rated E for everyone. He doesn’t care your age, gender, ethnicity, human, or demon, handicapped or not he didn’t care. He beat asses of all kinds equally in this show and treated them all the same. So I’m half jokingly making fun of that because that’s a stupid as hell negative to apply to this show that never wanted to be Pc in the first place not only from when it aired, but also because it’s a bunch of delinquent teenage street fighters talking shit.
      Also agreed that people shouldn’t focus so much on small shit which is exactly why the whole Pc thing is silly because it’s exactly that.
      Also agreed that back then the shows didn’t care, but also, it shouldn’t have wanted to care then or now. The show originally aired on Adult Swim which was known for very NOT PC programs like Aqua Teen Hunger Force or Sealab 2021 back then and to this day is still running the extremely NOT PC shows like Rick and Morty or Family Guy which are extremely successful with huge audiences without worrying about that nonsense. The show never needed to be PC then, and shouldn’t be now. So why this dude feels it wouldn’t hold up and wouldn’t air today because people would get butthurt when the most successful Adult Swim shows today aren’t Pc either and still air only shows how thin the skin is of anyone who thinks that way as their highest rated shows like Rick and Morty are not PC at all. So it’s silly to even focus so much on something so stupid as Pc bullshit and trying to apply it to Yu Yu Hakusho. Even after it aired on Adult Swim it aired on Toonami in an edited form then was back to the uncensored Adult Swim for the rest of its run. This show was mostly an Adult Swim show, it’s an anime that definitely holds up, could and would still definitely air, so don’t let this dude bringing modern brainwashed politics keep you from giving this gem of an anime a shot.

Or some crap like that when I saw this video in my recommended although ill give this anime the benefit of the doubt that I think its superior to Hunter X Hunter like Yuyu hakusho is an underrated shounen that is never too much while HxH tries to hard to be deep and fails where its laughable.
