Frick off, Chapter Black arc was a worthy successor. Sensui was a top tier villain along with Toguro and the both of them won in setting out for what they wanted to achieve. Season 2 for Sensui's turn next.
>Frick off
He's right though, if you're not an ESL. Shortly after dark tournament ended cartoon network changed the showtime to some terrible hour and many people thought the show got cancelled. The character development before dark tournament was good but most of those arcs were shit. Most normies really do only remember the dark tournament.
I watched until troony episode and I can proudly claim that its many times worse than HxH
none of the characters were interesting, some villains had a cool design like that tiger demon that got asspulled into defeat fairly quickly
Why are you proud? You didn't make HxH. You're just making pompous contrarian proclamations for attention. You forget that nobody here knows who you are, nor do we give a shit.
The Yu Yu anime hits its stride from like episode 20 til 90
I think the Dark Tournament can feel lacking in the modern era though, especially if you're familiar with other shonen
Getting outdone in the looks department by the stage play is just embarrassing
It's not horrible when you go into it expecting it to be bad. YYH is one of my most favorite series of all time and I was fine with this. First two episodes are pretty faithful, 3rd gets a pacing issue since the story jumps from like episode 10 to 50 of the anime. Plot is essentially rescue Yukina but add Hiei and Kurama on Yusuke's side and Karasu and Bui to Toguro's. The hand to hand fights look like shit with too much Japanese flail fighting but the fights with weapons look good. CGI is spotty but tolerable. Elder Toguro is probably the highlight.
What kind of gay ass contrarian take is this? Its one of the best shonens ever made and everybody knows this
its basic slop. if you see it as a kid, it might impress you, but so does everything thats flashy and violent. it really does nothing special at all.
Please explain to me why this anime is even notable. It looks on par with Black Clover i.e a clone of better shonen manga . Not only do the characters look generic, but the powers and the demon world seem way too random and vague. The fox guy has rose whip powers, why ? Frick you ! the angsty cool guy has angsty cool powers, why ? why not !
It deals with japanese spirits, yet most things are washed out and non traditional japanese. It doesn't have a distinct aesthetic, like each of the big 3 have.
>I would imagine that if the writer of YYH and the artist of Bleach combined their skills they would make a decent manga.
Hahahah. Tite is only good at character design/costume design. Togashi is better at everything from paneling to background.
Does that mean that there are like only 60 movies worth watching? Since everything else is a copy or uses a similar aesthetic. There is only 1 good western movie, right?
I am not saying that Yyh borrows another manga's aesthetic, I am saying it doesn't have any. It's just "an 80s anime" , which is an aesthetic in some regards, but not enough
It's been about a decade since I read YYH so the details are fuzzy, but from what I remember its strength was in the characterizations and humor. The story isn't particularly notable in the modern context but that's because YYH was the first to do what many others have copied in the years since, like Bleach and JJK and Naruto and Shaman King. That's how it is with older manga - they're trailblazers. It's the same deal with the original Dagon Ball and Hokuto no Ken.
The animation is remarkably good for its time. There's a reason for why that is too, I cant remember too well but I think there's a mini documentary about it, or a blog maybe. Also the music's baller and it just has this specific dark feel to it, I get the same feel from ninja turtles

b-b-b-b-b-but the nips made it themselves didn't they? Do they also make shit live action adaptations of their own cartoons?
I was mildly entertained by those death notes movies with the guy from battle royale at least.
From my experience Japanese produced live-actions usually suffer from bad acting/over-acting, terrible CGI, and low-budget. On the other hand, American produced live-actions usually miss the mark on casting, awful script, character assassinations and failure to understand the source material.
The only one that’s actually somewhat good IMO is the 2008 death note one. And that’s purely because of the nice twist they have where L writes his own name in the death note to beat Light [spoiler] it’s probably the one time I’d say it’s actually better than the original.[/spoiler]
I was rewatching the anime and was waiting for that to happen, totally forgot it was movie-only. Pretty clever move. Same thing with his dad surviving and learning about him.
Interesting when they can make these little changes to make it fresh.

Rurouni Kenshin was also good, probably because it's a samurai show which is Japanese cinema's bread and butter
>live action anime >let’s choose to adapt shonen, which are known for crazy fight sequences
This is why they all fail. DBZ, OP, Naruto, and YYH are better suited for an animated format. These moronic studios choose to adapt the animes known for their absurdity. The designs and fights don’t translate
OP live action is good. They clearly understand what they're adapting and you can tell the actors love the characters they're playing, it's fun to watch.
Cat butler and Buggy actors deserve fricking awards
yep
the best anime movies are adaptations like Black Swan (Perfect Blue). Anime that is grounded in some form of reality and not "LE HECKIN 14 YEAR OLD GETS SUPER POWERED UP AND FIGHTS DEMON SPIRITS"
I don't even know why they attempted to condense multiple arcs into a 5-episode series and replace the Dark Tournament arc with some back alley fight. Shit was doomed from the start.
>Probably its because the "tournament" shonen trope does not translate well to live action.
Yes it does. A good chunk of 80s action movies are exactly that.
Dark Tournament would be expensive.
Same reason for Bleach not going for Soul Society arc. Instead, Rukia just goes home to get some punishment and Ichigo gets his memories erased. There are few shots of Soul Society but most of them are in a house that looks like a school gym.
>Dark Tournament would be expensive. > There are few shots of Soul Society but most of them are in a house that looks like a school gym.
False dichotomy. Bleach as live action franchise was ditched by everyone who was involved.
In YHH LA they already decided to go with more realistic approach, so garage fight was here to stay, but instead we could get something less rushed. Turning first season into CW-tier procedural was less expensive anyway.
One Piece was a fluke. Look what it needed to just get to just be considered a "good" adaption:
1. Massive budget
2. Director and several cast members being familiar with source material
3. Original creator on board
4. Hiring several longtime fans to oversee production
5. Massive overseas promotion.
Etc.
You think your average live-action adaption is gonna get the deluxe treatment?

All of those should be par of the course when adapting something that's already immensely popular, and the original creator is still alive.
People call this bad like they call Dark Souls hard. It's mostly memeing.
It was a fun movie to watch, which is the most important part of being entertainment
One Piece could command that because of how much status it has. Even Naruto can't get that. This is who is attached to write the Naruto LA movie. Tasha Huo,
Her biggest writing credit is The Witcher Blood Origin, a show so shit even fans of the original awful Witcher show could see it was complete and utter shit.

Big budget, original creator on board, a good director and a good scriptwriter or script doctor is mainly what's needed. Everything else is what fanboys assume is what's needed.
Look at the date. He sneakily pulled up a list from when new seasons were released or about to. There's a surge in simpsons because the new season was about to drop. Probably had the previous season enter streaming.
Once Piece was basically all the stars aligning with having an appropriately sized budget and cast/crew that actually knew and liked the source material enough to find a good (enough) way to translate a few arcs into a one season show. every other adaptation barley even has a budget, let alone people who actually care about it, which is why i already assume that na inevitable Gundam live action show/Movie will be terrible
If you guys are gonna consider One Piece as the new standard for live-action adaptions and not the lightning in the bottle stroke of luck that it was, you are in for a rude awakening when the next live-action anime adaptions come along.
One piece was serviceable, nothing groundbreaking only for the fact that the adaptations before it were complete dogshit

I thought Toguro would somehow pull off he was just playing with Yusuke and friends by the end, but Blacks went through all his transformations and his departure to hell. Weird choice, you'd think netflix would want to milk this for as long as they can. The fights and scenarios were fine though, and I liked how they portrayed the evil businessmen underground.
For movies and series in general, honestly. I'm at a point where I think people who pay for media pretty much the same way I think about people who pay for porn.
Did they keep the part where Botan explains they kind of don't have a spot for him to go yet because he wasn't supposed to try and save the kid? That part really stuck with me as a kid to the point I was surprised how quick the revelation was when I rewatched it as an adult
It looks like he slipped and lost his footing as opposed to making an impossible play and saving the kid's life through that mid air push. Still not bad. I don't believe a human body would be enough to kick a whole ass truck over but whatever.
>don't believe a human body would be enough to kick a whole ass truck over but whatever.
secondary moment right there
yusuke is a descendant of a very powerful S+ rank demon king
Oh frick you're absolutely right. Yeah, nevermind. I have no gripes about this aside from AI Generated vids of YYH characters on YouTube blowing this production this the frick out design-wise. Honestly why don't they put effort into getting the fricking hair right?
It's not horrible when you go into it expecting it to be bad. YYH is one of my most favorite series of all time and I was fine with this. First two episodes are pretty faithful, 3rd gets a pacing issue since the story jumps from like episode 10 to 50 of the anime. Plot is essentially rescue Yukina but add Hiei and Kurama on Yusuke's side and Karasu and Bui to Toguro's. The hand to hand fights look like shit with too much Japanese flail fighting but the fights with weapons look good. CGI is spotty but tolerable. Elder Toguro is probably the highlight.
The pacing was so off, everything happened way too quick, they skipped all the character development and relationship building so nothing had any emotional impact. I saw the original anime so I understood the bonds but if you were just watching it for the first time the whole show would fall flat. I wish they would have slowed down just a bit and made the first season only rescuing Yuhina rom the mansion instead of trying to make that into the dark tournament.
The end of the Dark Tournament is a very reasonable stopping off point, but I would say it's still worth watching to the end. The Chapter Black arc that immediately follows the Dark Tournament is different but still quite good. The Demon World arc after that is a bit underwhelming but does flesh out the setting a good bit and it has the ending.
idk, I think Chapter Black could be doable, even more doable than dark tournament (which they apparently skipped from what I've seen in these threads)
Chapter Black only has like 5 locations thoughout the whole arc >Goofy house where Yusuke is kidnapped >cityscape streets and sidewalks and apartments >A hospital >a countryside road where Yusuke gets stalked by Sniper >a cave
So if they've already wrapped up the Toguro fight thematically from the Dark Tournament, you'd assume they could go straight to chapter black for a continuation, and the filming locations required for that arc don't seem too demanding
That arc kind of blindsides you during a first watch of the series..Coming off of the dark tournament you're not really sure what to expect going forward but then the arc delivers some cool stuff
I mean every bit of it is layered with this lurking insanity, uneasy the whole time. Like a shadow on the brain. You don't get kino like this anymore, and I don't know if we ever will again.

the anime definitely delivers hard on this arc, they get the atmosphere just right with the music and art direction
I'm 100% sure it won't get a season two. This was basically shit all over during previews and with One Piece being a more faithful adaption, YYH is just going to be quietly swept under the rug like Cowboy Bebop.
Yeah this isn't even something people are mad at. They can't even get mad at shitty western casting or budget, this frickup is all on Netflix Japan. And it's not like other adaptations have been bad Alice in Borderland is one of Netflix biggest shows according to that watch time spreadsheet they put out.
Only Cinemaphile zombies trying to gaslight Cinemaphile that asiatics drama are good.
You could easily tell from those random kdrama threads, how they talked like a shill npc on reddit.
It's garbage but goddamn are they getting better with the live action anime fighting with every property they adapt to live action. Also Yusuke delivering that devastating dropkick to Kuwabara in the alleyway was awesome.
I liked it
Choreography was good, reminded me of Jackie Chan movies I watched as a kid
Cgi wasn't amazing but it was so terrible that it looked cheesy, since every nips make is cheesy anyway it kept the immersion
I had watched the anime as a kid but only random episodes when I caught it on tv, so the characters have been familiar but I never really knew the plot, especially the first arc, I think I only saw eps from the tournament arcs.
Its honestly not gorey enough. Ever see that webm where the forklift runs over the guy and it basically shreds him like a woodchipper? Under there for 10 seconds and all limbs are cut off. This looks twice as violent, he should be a meat pile
you know there already was a City Hunter LA?
I saw it on TV last year and turned the channel to it (thinking it was anime) and the first scene I get was jackie chan crossdressing as ChunLi
It was alright. Fight scenes were entertaining but it felt more like they wanted to make a YYH greatest hits live action edition than wanting to make a good story. 6/10.

The Dark Tournament is the only part anyone remembers.
Frick off, Chapter Black arc was a worthy successor. Sensui was a top tier villain along with Toguro and the both of them won in setting out for what they wanted to achieve. Season 2 for Sensui's turn next.
Yeah, it was the Three Kings arc that was a let-down for a war, Togashi having to go tournament route was disappointing.
You don't even see the tournament in the manga, Togashi had long stopped giving a shit at that point.
>Frick off
He's right though, if you're not an ESL. Shortly after dark tournament ended cartoon network changed the showtime to some terrible hour and many people thought the show got cancelled.

Unremarkable. Why would anyone watch this ?
Because it has soul. Just because it didn't invent the fricking wheel doesn't mean it isn't good. You basement goblins are so out of touch its unreal.
It's got a great cast of characters, great battle scenes, and a pretty good story by Shounen standards.
ok so the writer is smart and inventive, but from what I gather, it does not have any power systems. A huge set back for immersion.
YYH is a better version of Bleach and the anime community's current darling Jujutsu Kaisen is all you need to know
haven't watch JJKaizen but the aesthetics are better than YYHakusho, and Bleach is ALL in the aesthetics with zero depth in the plot.
I would imagine that if the writer of YYH and the artist of Bleach combined their skills they would make a decent manga.
DBZ is a better version of Bleach. I think you should look for a better example.
I think I just discovered why your opinions are so bland: you're low end gen z. How old are you, 19?

non sequitur or whatever they call it
I am not saying that Yyh borrows another manga's aesthetic, I am saying it doesn't have any. It's just "an 80s anime" , which is an aesthetic in some regards, but not enough
The aesthetic is in the personality. Its something you'll appreciate when you're older.
Reading this post is like watching someone say Egyptian Pyramids don't have enough aesthetic considering Vegas and Bass Pro have pyramids too
It's been about a decade since I read YYH so the details are fuzzy, but from what I remember its strength was in the characterizations and humor.

>A moronic anime adapted into a moronic show for a moronic audience.
I suppose that works.
One Piece had a diverse cast and it actually works. This is just jap slop.
One Piece was complete shit and everyone who says it's decent or serviceable, much less good or great, should be clobbered to death
No it didn’t.
>jews a ruining my favorite anime
lol not this time. Japanese production. Same production company that adapted Alice in Borderland on Netflix.
Sex with Yusuke's mom
TOTAL NETFLIX DEATH.
>Hiei has more of a pompadour than Kuwabara
But why?
Shit casting, shit acting, shit costume design, shit CGI, shit production, shit narrative.
Only thing I enjoyed was the fights and choreography. Thank-you Netflix for butchering one of my favorite series of all time for a quick cash-grab.
Say it ain't so!
I thought Toguro would somehow pull off he was just playing with Yusuke and friends by the end, but Blacks went through all his transformations and his departure to hell. Weird choice, you'd think netflix would want to milk this for as long as they can. The fights and scenarios were fine though, and I liked how they portrayed the evil businessmen underground.
ok but is botan's actress hot at least?
She comes across as annoying and is relegated to damsel in distress
Stage play heavily gaps
This is the best pic I could find of her.
Any pic of Keiko or Genkai?
They massacred Botan
WHAT DID THEY DO TO HER?
It's a fricking granny holy shit
No
>when yellow women see white men
I don't know what's worse. Her outfit or her eyebags.
That Botan need botox
What exactly do you guys hate about it? Good choreography, good costumes, everything just happened too quickly it should've been an episodic thing.
she's beautiful
氏ね
はい?
わかってないのね。
Was Kuwabaras sister in the show? What about Yusuke's mom or Keiko?
my first anime crush looks like THAT?
she looks older than genkai
Of all the shows YYH was not the one to choose especially if you were going to give it 0 budget
What did they do to my boy kuwabara??
>supposed to be a delinquent and brawler
>built like a twink
why?
where's the webrip bois?
that just means that hxh will be spared, thank God
Anyone still paying for Netflix is a lost cause and genuine moron.
For movies and series in general, honestly. I'm at a point where I think people who pay for media pretty much the same way I think about people who pay for porn.
I thought the fox guy was supposed to be some super pretty boy
YOU'RE A MESHI
Looking at OP and seeing those hairstyles and I can already say with certainty it's going to be garbage.
Botan is ugly as frick and can’t act what we’re they thinking
They massacred my boy Kurama too. Ok time to hate watch
WTF
kwab
Looking kino, especially the gory face.
How and why does the truck fall? Are Japanese trucks made of plastic?
It fell under the weight of its own shame, having taken out a national hero.
Did they keep the part where Botan explains they kind of don't have a spot for him to go yet because he wasn't supposed to try and save the kid? That part really stuck with me as a kid to the point I was surprised how quick the revelation was when I rewatched it as an adult
Yeah
>native isekai
honestly, pretty fricking impressive
i love the white truck of doom trope
if you've ever been to Tokyo you'll know why its a thing. those truck drivers don't give a frick about pedestrians and those turns are sharp.
brutal
It looks like he slipped and lost his footing as opposed to making an impossible play and saving the kid's life through that mid air push. Still not bad. I don't believe a human body would be enough to kick a whole ass truck over but whatever.
>don't believe a human body would be enough to kick a whole ass truck over but whatever.
secondary moment right there
yusuke is a descendant of a very powerful S+ rank demon king
Oh frick you're absolutely right. Yeah, nevermind. I have no gripes about this aside from AI Generated vids of YYH characters on YouTube blowing this production this the frick out design-wise. Honestly why don't they put effort into getting the fricking hair right?
Yusuke has bones of glass
Truck-kun!!
that's actually kino AF
There's even a few visual references to chapter black arc in there
Still better than One Piss.
Rent free. Togashi is set to fail to capture a wider audience once again.
Where's the live leak logo?
Is no one going to address on why anon use his phone to record his monitor?
kino. After seeing that I'm watching this and I don't care what homosexuals in this thread say about it being shit.
kwabara should be a hapa ginger. Kurama should be a white guy.
>kwabara should be a hapa ginger
gay
>Kurama should be a white guy
got
moron
Stop watching live action manga adaptations!
>trusting japs with live action adaptations
lmaoing @ ur lives
should i watch it regardles
It's not horrible when you go into it expecting it to be bad. YYH is one of my most favorite series of all time and I was fine with this. First two episodes are pretty faithful, 3rd gets a pacing issue since the story jumps from like episode 10 to 50 of the anime. Plot is essentially rescue Yukina but add Hiei and Kurama on Yusuke's side and Karasu and Bui to Toguro's. The hand to hand fights look like shit with too much Japanese flail fighting but the fights with weapons look good. CGI is spotty but tolerable. Elder Toguro is probably the highlight.
>the story jumps from like episode 10 to 50 of the anime
Instadropped
Well it was for the sake of making Genkai's relationship with Toguro make sense. It then backtracks to episode 20 to so the Tarukane/Yukina plot.
>nooo they should've done 40 episodes of filler because, because... they should've done it!
>they should've done 40 episodes of KINO
Fixed that for you.
>fight against filler character #346
>It's not horrible when you go into it expecting it to be bad.
This will never not be a midwit response.
They are still doing that shitty brown filter it looks disgusting
The original is shit too, it's only good because of the localized dubb being funny.
Name your favorite anime.
Level E
Ultra mega giga cringe. Stick to watching troony shit like lucky star, stay out of YYH threads or ill frick you up
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off
Pokemon, Indigo League -Johto
FMA:B
why are they all twinks
Because when Japan imagines an attractive male actor they picture futa ladyboys
are there at least any decent action scenes? That's literally all I care about
Kurama using is Rose Whip always looks good. Also his plants as Yoko look good too. Hiei's fight with Bui is pretty good when it's sword vs axe.
Hiei's fight was good, but Kurama's was better, which as a fan of the original Kurapica I appreciate.
Choose one
The virgin or the non virgin? Not much of a choice.
obviously the fox
a gram of molly and both at the same time
The pacing was so off, everything happened way too quick, they skipped all the character development and relationship building so nothing had any emotional impact. I saw the original anime so I understood the bonds but if you were just watching it for the first time the whole show would fall flat. I wish they would have slowed down just a bit and made the first season only rescuing Yuhina rom the mansion instead of trying to make that into the dark tournament.
Gantz live action was solid.
Was it really? I always loved that series and keep hoping for a good adaption. Gantz 0 was unironically great which gave me some hope
Does it contain breasts?
>adapting an audio visual medium to another audio visual medium
moronic as always.
rurouni kenshin is still the king of live action
also GTO with sorimachi
and jap death note
and the 1st 2 crow films
Do they keep the part where Yusuke outs that troony?
So what exactly happen? Did they shove in the dark tournament in the first season?
Is yuyu hakusho worth finishing? I only remember the dark tournament as a kid before Toonami just died on us
The end of the Dark Tournament is a very reasonable stopping off point, but I would say it's still worth watching to the end. The Chapter Black arc that immediately follows the Dark Tournament is different but still quite good. The Demon World arc after that is a bit underwhelming but does flesh out the setting a good bit and it has the ending.
yes, even though the last arc is pretty lame. there's some really good character stuff near the end.
I enjoyed the lead's other movies so I will watch this too.
Why do they all look the same?
It pretty good actually.
https://twitter.com/PokemanZ0N6/status/1735278965571420213
That's actually pretty great.
actually pretty good. way better than the one piece right scenes. I actually felt some tension.
Of course its shit
All live action anime is
both the bleach anime and live action film (despite not getting sequels, was pretty good) keep giving yu yu poopkasho the short edge of the stick
>they left her out
literally unwatchable
there might be some reference to her tucked away in the show somewhere, probably a whole lot of other little things
Anyone else watch some of the live action english dub? Shit just sounds wrong.
seems to be on par with every other shitty live action Japanese adaptation
>shit anime turned into a shit live action
who could have guessed
They can never take away the original show, even if this is atrocious. I like YYH, a lot, so I don't really care about this
If it makes you feel any better, I'm 99% sure this won't get greenlit for a Season 2.
idk, I think Chapter Black could be doable, even more doable than dark tournament (which they apparently skipped from what I've seen in these threads)
Chapter Black only has like 5 locations thoughout the whole arc
>Goofy house where Yusuke is kidnapped
>cityscape streets and sidewalks and apartments
>A hospital
>a countryside road where Yusuke gets stalked by Sniper
>a cave
So if they've already wrapped up the Toguro fight thematically from the Dark Tournament, you'd assume they could go straight to chapter black for a continuation, and the filming locations required for that arc don't seem too demanding
Chapter black is sinister in such a kino way
That arc kind of blindsides you during a first watch of the series..Coming off of the dark tournament you're not really sure what to expect going forward but then the arc delivers some cool stuff
I mean every bit of it is layered with this lurking insanity, uneasy the whole time. Like a shadow on the brain. You don't get kino like this anymore, and I don't know if we ever will again.
the anime definitely delivers hard on this arc, they get the atmosphere just right with the music and art direction
I'm 100% sure it won't get a season two. This was basically shit all over during previews and with One Piece being a more faithful adaption, YYH is just going to be quietly swept under the rug like Cowboy Bebop.
Yeah this isn't even something people are mad at. They can't even get mad at shitty western casting or budget, this frickup is all on Netflix Japan. And it's not like other adaptations have been bad Alice in Borderland is one of Netflix biggest shows according to that watch time spreadsheet they put out.
Why do they all look Indonesian or something? What language is the show in?
netflix diversity
they made the mc pinoy or something
Literal morons.
They are all Japanese and the show is made by Japan.
japs arent brown
Well apparently they are. Because the cast is 100% Japanese.
They are in a few parts but Kurama's actor is the only one that passes. Everyone else looks mixed
>Everyone else looks mixed
They aren't.
>reasonably faithful characters
>removes the ginger with the pompadour
it's always the gingers
Unironically why not just make Kuwabara a White guy if he's gonna look like THAT
>Here's the high schooler I was telling you about.
Was this filmed in Southeast Asia? They literally look like Southeast Asians.
see
Well, they look Southeast Asian as frick. I'm SEA myself, so I would know.
I don't care what you think you know.
The cast is 100% Japanese.
I don't see any negru. It must be good
Keiko's actress is pretty cute but they massacred Botan and Yukina, which are the best girls on the anime.
Is he really Japanese or some brown hapa
Japanese.
My first instinct is to say that Nips don't put nigs in their show, then i remembered this from a few years ago.
I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO GOOOOOOOOOO
WHEN I FEEL LIKE CRYING
IT'S TIME TO OPEN MYSELF
TRY SOMETHING NEW
I'M GONNA STOP, AND WHIP OUT MY DICK

Why does Cinemaphile prefer Kdrama to Live action animes?
No one on Cinemaphile prefers korean shit except the one spammer.
Stop worshipping japan
I don't. I just know that Worst Korea puts out nothing but shit.
ANYTHING is better. Even Japan.
Only Cinemaphile zombies trying to gaslight Cinemaphile that asiatics drama are good.
You could easily tell from those random kdrama threads, how they talked like a shill npc on reddit.
It's garbage but goddamn are they getting better with the live action anime fighting with every property they adapt to live action. Also Yusuke delivering that devastating dropkick to Kuwabara in the alleyway was awesome.
Its made by Japan. Japan has always been able to pull off live action anime.
with or without netlfix's help, japan became pozzed
I can't even tell if this is straight, gay, or lesbian. How did 2 nukes do this much damage to their genes
I liked it
Choreography was good, reminded me of Jackie Chan movies I watched as a kid
Cgi wasn't amazing but it was so terrible that it looked cheesy, since every nips make is cheesy anyway it kept the immersion
I had watched the anime as a kid but only random episodes when I caught it on tv, so the characters have been familiar but I never really knew the plot, especially the first arc, I think I only saw eps from the tournament arcs.
7/10
This looks great but I'm still not going to watch the show.

>TRUCK-KUN YAMETE!
Its honestly not gorey enough. Ever see that webm where the forklift runs over the guy and it basically shreds him like a woodchipper? Under there for 10 seconds and all limbs are cut off. This looks twice as violent, he should be a meat pile
It's more gorey than the anime version, but in the anime he gets hit by a speeding car instead of hit AND run over by a truck
>Truck driver applies the breaks AFTER driving through a crowd killing people
City hunter will be next jap live action after yuyuhakusho btw.
you know there already was a City Hunter LA?
I saw it on TV last year and turned the channel to it (thinking it was anime) and the first scene I get was jackie chan crossdressing as ChunLi
Japs never did city hunter before. They did do angel heart live action a long time ago though.
It's actually camp as frick, had a good time watching it.
It was alright. Fight scenes were entertaining but it felt more like they wanted to make a YYH greatest hits live action edition than wanting to make a good story. 6/10.
an entire thread for a bad trannime adaptation
you guys are such homosexuals
