Netflix's take on Yu Yu Hakusho looks promising, diving headfirst into the supernatural with what seems to be a pretty slick production. If they nail the spirit of Togashi's original work, this could be another win for anime fans searching for quality live-action adaptations.
Always interesting to see how these live-action adaptations pan out, especially with a cult classic like Yu Yu Hakusho. If Netflix nails the combo of solid storytelling and slick production like they did with One Piece, we could be in for a real treat come December.
