How can they possibly cast Toguro? Will they change up the plot? Will it have a better ending than the anime (this is doable) Will this even make any money seeing as how obscure the franchise is?
Netflix's Yuyu Hakusho adaptation.

I wouldn't call it an obscure franchise, but it's definitely not dbz, Naruto, One Piece popular. Also, it will be shit and shouldn't be made.
it will be the weekly ghost inspector show it started out as rather than the shounen tournament anime it became
I hope so. If they have Yusuke investigate paranormal situations, some serious and dark while there's comfy and heart-warming drama episodes that would be kino.
I do feel they should adapt the Sensui arc, buy nerd the power levels. Focus more on how clever Territories can nullify brute force and Yusuke's demon ancestry merely allows him to tap into youki and reiki to counter Sensui's holy ki. No DBZ power ups, but more focus on investigating, teamwork and strategy.
There's no good live action anime.
There's no good anime.
There are a few. Akagi, Ippo, Evangelion, Mob Psycho.

>this will never get the HxH 2011 animation treatment
Thank god. We don't need another one butchered
What's so bad about 2011? Godtier Madhouse animation, great music and it covered more story arcs. Are you one of those edgy homosexuals that complain Killua's heart crushing thing was censored?
The colors were worse
Making it a weekly release instead of seasonally was a mistake. Seasonal have more time to work on stuff.
Despite the few shortcuts, they did keep the quality relatively high for the whole time, and a lesser studio could have easily resorted to One Piece tier shit.
The 1999 series is kino as frick. Glad I saw it high school way back in 2005.
the absolute epitome of soul vs soulless
The '99 version is good too but 2011 is much better. Chimera Ant Arc actually adapted, and beautifully animated. Action and overall presentation in 2011 is just on a whole other level.
Literally how the FRICK do you improve this in any way? Artistically impossible.
Holy fricking kino, I never made it past the part where they're all trying to stop the zombie virus but this convinced me to pick it up again
You have to be some kind of moron to think they're going to reach the dark tournament arc. What live action adaptation has ever been that fricking long?
THIS! Newcomers of the franchise will be burnt out by the time Yusuke is resurrected! No way it'll even reach Genkai's tournament lol
Toguro shows wayyyy before that thoug.
Oh boy I can't wait for a shitty adaptation that is mostly bad CGI.
Why do they do this? It was animated because it couldn't exist in reality.
So they could say they have content and leech off it's nostalgia without having to come up with anything original.
But no one likes them.
You could have maybe had cowboy bepop work if you treated it like trek, but they fricked it up.

FRICKING WHAT?
Live action? Animated?
Fricking WHY?
first netflix adaptation?
Is that Scott Pilgrim looking woman Botan or Keiko? OR IS IT FRICKING KURAMA? And why does Kurabara look like a BTS boy? What the FRICK
I had the same reaction. I was like what girl has that color hair? Then I saw someone say it is Kurama.
that woman looks like a man
Why do Japs think of themselves as white? It's not just manga/anime, their public service announcements depict them as having very European features.
Because Japs want to be White. Their women desire to be bleached.
Yuck. Please let it fail before the first episode airs.
they better have a gaijin be kuwabara, some twinky asian will not cut it
Who do you think that is on the right?
It's a Japanese production which means that it's only meant to fill a certain niche, unlike cowboy bebop and one piece that are made for the global market.
This usually means trying take designs from the manga and translating them as accurately as possible, which often looks like complete ass because the design simply does not look good as a CGI asset or prop.
You might hate me for agreeing with Nolan's "realistic stylization of unrealistic things" approach but I'd be perfectly fine with Juri being depicted as a slimy skinned fish girl so long as she's still frickable.
>how will they cast toguro
If its neflix and the question is "how will they cast X" the answer is as a gay british black guy
I watched until it got mired in the tournament, then I fricking dropped it because it seemed like the tournament shit would never end.
How close was I to the ending and is it worth rewatching & finishing?
What do you think her pits smell and taste like after a long day of announcing fights. Be descriptive
Dead fish.
I never watched it so convince me to either watch it or keep going on with my life
Every Shounen is DBZ with fresh coat of paint.
get off the stage you pathetic smelly fish
Toguro will be like the Hulk. An normal looking actor will play him in base form and he'll be mostly CG when he bulks up.
>english cover
literally made me pyke, had to listen the original to get the taste of shit out of my mouth
You're an absolute homosexual. YYH has the best dub in the history of anime by a HUGE fricking margin, I understand watching sub most of the time but if you're this much of a purist it's just a meme at this point. The dub is better than the sub by thousands upon thousands of magnitutdes. Go learn japanese you fricking bug
not him, but the dub blatantly adds lines they do not say in the original and that ruins it for me. They legitimately completely change how certain characters behave at times.
Then honestly the dub improved the show on its own. I will never not watch dub for YYH
you can say that but you havent seen the sub. and because i am a togashi fan i prefer the thing that is truest to the manga. however i grew up on the dub, and it was my favorite anime as a child.
To each their own I guess but I'll ride and die on the sub for this and for Trigun
Dub*
This, I want a show that is faithful to the manga and the author's vision, not some burger ad-lib-infested mockery.
>Hur-hur, I'm a burger dubbing producer and I'm just gonna rewrite entire scenes of scenes from scratch to make them "better", because I know better than the author, for I'm an AMERICAN, USA! USA! USA!
You have to understand that even in the 2000's there wasn't professionalism as we have today with localizing anime scripts and presenting Japanese culture to US kids. Pokémon and Sailor Moon referred nikuman and onigiri as doughnuts because they're not familiar here.
>because they're not familiar here
Never understood that mentality. So, what if they are unfamiliar with something? Absolute horror exposing children to foreign cultures, I mean the kid might even want to go a Chinese restoraunt.
Addendum: in both of those cases, if it was fantasy food, the only thing that matters is the context, which is that it is food. And even a moronic child would be able to figure it out.
Same mentality that prevents Super Sentai to being shown in the US. Producers think their audiences are stupid and are afraid of alienating with foreign bug people.
PowerRangers is a money laundering scheme, if they did only dubbing covering it would be more difficult
Which brings us back to the problem that anime dubbing has but even worse. Dubbing animation is easy since the lip sequences don't look awkward compared to live action. Then there's the choice of lines I'm the dub script.
dubgays often make the excuse "uh they must match the mouth flaps, that is why rewrote the entire scene"
I mean almost always there is not even an attempt to make just an idiomatic translation, but always an excuse to do almost whatever they want. For example, Goku's "I'm the hope of the universe"-superman speech, is so fundamentally out of character for Goku, that Toriyama only has him tease Freezer.
The only reason anyone would watch dub is that they can't read subtitles fast enough and, defending dubbing is just cope to hide it. I feel bad for you.
The VA for the YYH dub is just better wall to wall. Absolutely fantastic performances. I watch sub for other shit but you purist bug people can go frick yourselves raw on this one.
SON OF A GUN!!!!
Mandatory Netflix changes:
>Yuusuke is a woman now, and in a lesbian relationship with Keiko
>Kazuma is a black
>Kurama is a transwoman
>Hiei is a black woman
>Botan is a man
except this isn't happening dumb fricking moron.
it will
weve seen the cast pics already moron.
its being made by a japanese company which is the reason why this blackwashing isnt happening
Why do they 2ant me dead? Why cant they leave the things I love alone? I have no money, no influence, nothing. What more do they want from me?
suicide
toguro if he real
is that kevin hart doing white face?
Toguro if real is Terminator Arnold tho, not Rock
oh they're frickin that up too huh? damn shame. luckily my strategy of laughing at failed adaptations/pointless cashgrab reboots on here while also not bothering to tune in hasn't failed yet.
Will my cute Yo Yo Shota ever make his live action debut?
Kinda of impossible to cast Yusuke because his entire face and head change from shot to shot half the time.
>netflix y u y u hakasho adaptation
Please no
>How can they possibly cast Toguro? Will they change up the plot?
They`ll only adapt Toguro`s first apparition as part of one of Yusuke`s cases and skip the dark tournament arc completely. They`ll most likely focus on the spirit detective stuff and rewrite the rest. If i had to guess Toguro would appear mostly for the sake of introducing Genkai (who may double as both Yusuke`s master and the first spirit detective). They`ll probably mix Saito and Sensui into a single character too and the season may end with Yusuke traveling to the demon realm or something...
>Will it have a better ending than the anime
No. It`s Netflix after all...
I haven't watched this series since 2002, but wasn't the dark tournament arc the best part of the entire anime?
Why is Yusuke a pinoy
looks fine to me
That's a pinoy
humans kneel to demons
me on the right
holy shit a yuyuhakusho thread. okay, does anyone remember a scene where there's these two dudes fighting in a tournament, but the one long haired dude shoves his fingers into the main characters throat and rips some shit causing him to go blind? was that this show or am i remembering some other late night obscure anime?
Sensui and Toguro with asian actors just would break any kind of immersion. It would be impossible to not laugh
Sensui looked Asian-esque. Agree with Toguro but there are buff Japanese dudes. I legit thought Japanese were all short before I was stationed there, but I've seen a lot of 5'10 to 6'2 dudes. A couple of 6'6 and 6'7 too. And some Japanese girls were 5'10 to 6 foot. So they just gotta cast a tall actor they can weight train
