Yu Yu hakusho

No, YuYu Hakusho sucks ass. It isn't anything more than the cliché train and fight brawlers that plague airwaves where better shows should be receiving attention.

Please, my cat has better character development. The only one who uses his head is Kurama. The others are just as stupid and idiotic as Goku and friends. I'll give it some credit for character development, what is there is good. But it isn't excessive enough that it is almost non-existent. It is cliché, just like Big O, Outlaw Star, DBZ, Flame of Recca(the anime not the manga), Saint Seiya/Knights of the Zodiac and many others. Oh yea, did I mention that the plot is totally predictable? Yea, I thought so.

YuYu Hakusho is nothing more than a train and fight. Please, give me something I haven't seen before.

Yu Yu Hakusho is not your standard train and fight. The fact that Yusuke doesn't win every time by sheer brute strength attests to this. How did he beat Hiei? Kazemaru? Rando?

There is also a strong emphasis on techniques. In DBZ techniques usually didn't make a difference-- it all came down to who could fly faster and throw a harder punch.

Ignorance, luck, and stupidity.

I watched the series until the death of Genkai. Heh, that might have been sad if she had character development. I've seen more than enough to support my opinions.

You might get a feel for the characters. But I sure didn't after the first ten episodes or so. The only one I felt for after that was Kurama during his whole mother thing.

No, Yusuke didn't use brains for Hiei, he just got lucky in his assumption that the mirror would reflect his Rei Gun. The rest is just bashing, and last time I checked, Kuwabara either lost or got lucky as well.

It's kind of hypocritical of you to say that it is set apart from Dragonball by characters using smarts instead of speed and punches after which you turn around and say that Hiei wins by sheer speed and skill. Heh.

And you seem to have not noticed that is what I liked about the first 10 episodes or so. After Yusuke was brought back to life the series goes downhill fast.

I will admit that I was glad that they omitted training from the overall story. It is the concept of training and becoming exponentially more powerful that makes it DBZ laughable.
