 Netflix Japan revealed on Wednesday that Yoshihiro Togashi's Yuu☆Yuu☆Hakusho (Yu Yu Hakusho) manga will receive a live-action series. Kazutaka Sakamoto (A.I.C.O. Incarnation) is serving as the executive producer and Akira Morii (Imawa no Kuni no Alice) is producing the series at production company Robot. Netflix will stream the series worldwide.Synopsis One fateful day, Yuusuke Urameshi, a 14-year-old delinquent with a dim future, gets a miraculous chance to turn it all around when he throws himself in front of a moving car to save a young boy. His ultimate sacrifice is so out of character that the authorities of the spirit realm are not yet prepared to let him pass on. Koenma, heir to the throne of the spirit realm, offers Yuusuke an opportunity to regain his life through completion of a series of tasks. With the guidance of the death god Botan, he is to thwart evil presences on Earth as a Spirit Detective. To help him on his venture, Yuusuke enlists ex-rival Kazuma Kuwabara, and two demons, Hiei and Kurama, who have criminal pasts. Together, they train and battle against enemies who would threaten humanity's very existence. [Written by MAL Rewrite] Togashi serialized the supernatural shounen manga in Weekly Shounen Jump between November 1990 and July 1994. The manga won in the Shounen category at the 39th Shogakukan Manga Award in 1993. Studio Pierrot adapted the manga into a 112-episode anime series that aired from October 1992 to January 1995, as well as two anime films, and multiple original video animations. A two-episode special included in the 25th anniversary Blu-ray box was released in October 2018. VIZ Media licensed the manga in English and serialized it in their Shounen Jump magazine between January 2003 and January 2010. The publisher released all 19 volumes from 2003 to 2010 and re-released them digitally on their website between 2013 and 2014. Funimation licensed the television anime series in 2001 and released English dubbed episodes on Cartoon Network between 2002 and 2006. The company is streaming the anime with both subtitles and dub.

Scordolo's Recent Reviews To your eternity Vanitas no Karte |
| I sincerely hope that one day these people will knock it off and realize they need to stop with these live-action anime adaptations. Plus, they're always picking the ones that are way over the top/supernatural that would be the most difficult to adapt to live-action (that reminds me, any updates on that live-action One Piece series, or that live-action Naruto movie?). If it's an adaptation of an anime that's more grounded in reality, then go ahead and take a stab at it, but stuff like YYH, One Piece, or anything else that's outlandish needs to be left alone as animation imo. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Just do Monster. Even with Netflix level mutilation, it still would be a way better pick than YYH. |

| Togashi getting more royalties out of nowhere so he can laze around even more and not continue HxH |

| Yusuke is probably gonna be black |

| Why Netflix...STOP RUINING SHOWS |
| STOOOOOPPPPPPPPP!!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! NETFLIX PLEASE!!! LEAVE THIS ANIME ALONE AND PRESERVE ITS AUTHENTICITY. running out of ideas Netflix? |

The world is cruel, ugly and pitiful. Let's watch anime and make it colorful |
reminds me of this thing, people just want their live action anime |
    |
| I'm side-eyeing some of these comments but yeah, even done by Japan, I have never liked one live action adaptation. |
| 眠れないのは君のせい |
| gaaahhh...Netflix will ruin the masterpiece.. Not all popular anime need a live action adapatation, they are masterpiece because of what they are right now,uff.. |
it’s never too late for life ... to go horribly wrong. . . afff~  |

|
| absolutely disgusting, again |
 |
| Yeah, these things never work out correctly. If they would give this to a director who could make it more faithful and use correct cgi, music, actors etc it would be slightly better and I mean slightly. |
| Let's keep the dream electric~! Playing MALoween since 2021! MALoween 25' Candy (8 M 4 B):            |
| Why though? What will this gain from becoming live action? |
| after watching gintama and rorouni kenshin's Live Action, i knew this would be shitty. LMAO but maybeeee?? a little pinch of hope? ka ka. but let's not get our hopes up.............. |
