Finished the second season of #YuYuHakusho earlier today.

So far, story as well as its tone and rhythm are pretty good, both the English and Brazilian Portuguese dubs are surprisingly decent, battles are surprisingly mobile for the series’ age as well as these being intelligent and generally fun, and I feel like it was the base for most #anime tropes that came after, or at least coincidentally elements those other animes overuse often feel like they had already appeared in Yu Yu Hakusho.

So far so good so great

    Also is it just me or did Boutan get nerfed after season 1? Can’t remember her flying at any point of S2, and in a few moments it would have been useful.

      I was actually just reading just reading about this pretty recently. If I remember correctly, the manga has her explicitly possess a human shell when she needs to interact with humans, and she doesn’t have those powers in that form. The anime glosses over that, so you just see her fly around a lot in the early episodes and then she stops.

        @stankmut@lemmy.world oooooooh

        That explains quite a lot. 😯

        Now I need to track down the manga too, to see what else may not be well explained.

        Thanks!
