Hm.

Looks like it's at least being produced and made in Japan. Yu Yu Hakusho is one of those properties that is distinctly Japanese, so it's not like Death Note where they could feasibly Americanize it.

They should just do Trigun. That could actually work.

Why is Netflix insistent on bastardizing our beloved anime franchises?

Who asked for anything? Did you specifically ask for every single show you like?

I was hyped until I saw this. I love the original series and periodically re-watch it, but I don't want to see a non-American version of the show.

O...kay?

Any particular reason? Like would you be excited for the curiosity of watching them try adapt YYH to a Western setting?

I don't care about the setting. I'm more concerned about the language of the actors. If this is being produced in Japan, I assume that they won't be speaking in English.

Man, December 2023? I was hoping a littler sooner than that. They first announced this awhile ago.

I have zero interest in live action adaptations of anime, be they made in Japan, the US or anywhere in the world.

F*** I hate the idea of this.

The anime is perfect there is no reason to crap out some s***** live action movie.

Im not saying it couldnt work because with talented people behind the camera it could work especially the first arcs but I just have zero faith in Netflix and most westerners to properly adapt manga/anime.

Being made in and by Japan, dude.

But I agree that YYH like most anime doesn't need this.

To be fair, it's not like Japan has a good track record of live-action anime either. >_>

This is very true.

Although I hear good things about RuroKen.

Shame I've basically sworn off it.

Japan is not much better when it comes to live action anime adaptations

You're right but for some reason live action remakes of cartoons (Whether they are good or bad) are popular over there thus this happens

i don't know if it's what he means, but the dub script takes quite a few liberties when it comes to characterization. the og japanese version is way more bland generic shonen
