He has a chance to return to his corporeal existence if he completes a quest, and that will only be the start of a whole new life. Death is only the beginning of his problems, as spirits soon appear to tell him that it isn't yet his time.
That all changes when he dies saving a toddler from being run down by a car.
Yusuke Urameshi is your average juvenile delinquent, making his way reluctantly through school, ruling the roost when it comes to who is top dog, although that means regularly facing off against his rival Kazuma Kuwabara. Just don't be expecting me to import the other 20 odd discs from the US! So, at last… Yu Yu Hakusho: Volume 1. But it's annoying to leave something unfinished, and when you see a disc on sale for £1.99, it's easy to scratch that itch.
The first YYH review disc I received was volume 2, and I went onwards from there. I missed some of the earliest DVD series out completely, while others I joined in the middle of the run. Jumping on the anime bandwagon also means jumping on in the middle of the parade. Volume 6 was pencilled in for the winter of 2006, which is when MVM lost the distribution rights to their Funimation properties, and in the transfer of all things Funimation to Revelation Films, Yu Yu Hakusho was conveniently forgotten. It's something MVM learned in 2005 as they released the first four volumes, followed by a year's wait for volume 5. Fans aren't keen on spending 20 pounds for 70 minutes of anime, in which essentially nothing happens. The tournament genre doesn't take well to that, especially with some fights lasting a stretch of 5 episodes or more. MVM was taking a chance on this 112 episode series, and an even bigger chance in releasing it in the same format as in the US, with 3-episode discs alternating with the occasional 4-episode offering. The UK wasn't the place for long running anime series in some respects it still isn't, with only Manga Entertainment able to buck the trend with any assurance. When the whole anime on DVD explosion happened a few years ago, one of the first series that I encountered was Yu Yu Hakusho, and as so often happens with new things, it was something of a faltering start, in pretty much every respect.
