What is YYH?
Okay, first off I want to ask why are you even on a Yu Yu Hakusho site if you don’t know what it is? Yu Yu Hakusho is an anime and --- What, you don’t know what that is either? An anime is a Japanese cartoon. Probably the most known anime is Pokemon. Okay, Yu Yu Hakusho is an anime and a manga, a Japanese comic. Yu Yu Hakusho basically translates into Ghost Files or Poltergeist Report.
It’s the story of a regular delinquent, named Yusuke Urameshi, who dies in a car accident. He wasn’t suppose to die so he is brought back to life. Now he has become a Spirit Detective and must protect the world from demons. Yu Yu Hakusho is filled with just about everything: action, comedy, romance, etc. It’s one of the best animes out there! In my opinion at least.
The show itself ran for 112 epsiodes, running for over two years in Japan in the years of 1992-1994. In 1997 it had a second movie, this time full length. It also has quite a few OVAs. The manga, which started the series, ran from 1990 to 1994 in Japan's Weekly Shonen Jump. It ran a total of nineteen volumes. They have been recently rereleased in Japan in 2004. They contained extras and were shortened into fifteen volumes.
In the United States the anime of Yu Yu Hakusho was released by Funimation. Currently the manga is being released monthly in Viz's Shonen Jump manga magazine and compiled into graphic novels in the Shonen Jump graphic novel line.
