I'm watching it right now actually and I don't think so at all, it's not particularly great aside from being a good show to begin with

Cowboy Bebop
Trigun
Yu Yu Hakusho


All acceptable answers.


Kenshin is also acceptable maybe? Takes some getting used to.

also I probably have to give it to DBZ because of bruce faulconer, the only anime where I really would definitively say that the english version is better because of him(this isn't a VA issue, doesn't hurt that DBZ's original VA wasn't so great either though)

The thing that really annoys me is that the sound quality is s***. I don't know if it's the bgm/voice balance or what, but never have I had to replay so many segments of a show because I missed something someone said.

Yu Yu Hakusho is incredibly unique for the fact that it both has a better anime than manga and better dub than sub.

YYH best ever.

this is only going to be super unique for people who are really into manga, I do read it a bit but I can't get into black and white illustrations as easily, I tend to prefer anime because I like color and music and stuff

See I understand that, and it's not rare for an anime to be favorable to a manga because the anime is usually just a direct adaptation. But in some cases, like YYH, the anime actually alters things about the story and even makes it better. Which is what's rare.

Nah, it does the criminal sin of dubbing: It changes characters personalities.

The actual dubbing quality is pretty good, but I can't stand how a few characters (like the announcer during the tournament) are different than their original versions.

Yusuke is the greatest though.

I don't like Genkai's (Frieza) and Kuwabara's voice. Hiei probably sounds a little younger in the original, but I haven't watched the original. I'd really like to rewatch YYH again in Japanese one of these days.

Every one of the main characters (especially Yusuke and Hiei) were better in the dub.

Yusuke sounded too generic in the sub, and Hiei was Link <_<

What was her personality in the manga?


In both the original anime and manga, she was a slave girl who was forced to announce, and was totally turned off by all the brutality and kept on begging the combatents to stop fighting when someone couldn't defend themselves anymore. In the dub, they turned her into a total sadist who loved the violence.
