Yu Yu Hakusho

Netflix's j-drama Yu Yu Hakusho was so much fun! Yusuke, a young delinquent, dies while saving a little boy. Koenma brings him back to life as a spirit detective.

I was such a big fan of the anime way back and Netflix definitely didn't disappoint with this adaptation. I think it works well for both fans and new viewers. The only thing is that there are only 5 episodes, so I hope it'll be successful and we'll get more, especially considering that the next arcs are even better.

Koenma is played by Machida Keita (Kurosawa in Cherry Magic). <3 Botan is very cool too. And my beloved Kurama gets to be super pretty under his Yoko Kurama appearance.

In the first episode, you can hear a little bit of the original anime opening. All the feels!

Yes! I was so relieved that while they didn't try to do his child form they also didn't deprive him of the weapon. :)
