Truck Driver Listens to Good Music

YuYu Hakusho it was 1989 when it was first aired in Fuji TV,
The Anime is packed with 4 Arcs, for those who just watched the Live Action, it only covered 2 Arcs in a simplified manner
1st Arc - Character Introduction
2nd Arc - Dark Tournament
3rd Arc - The Gate
4th Arc - Ancestral

This Live Adaptation was a simplified manner but exciting at the same time
why, the staff, some of them are the same staff in Rurouni Kenshin Adaptation, thats why some fight scenes are more or less similar to the fight scenes in Yu Yu Hakusho.

Was it compressed?
Yes the Live Adaptation of the Franchise took a different approach to provide context on the story within the limit of the budget of the producers and executive producers,

I am a Hardcore Anime Enthusiast and Producer, and I know where the other fans are coming from because YuYu Hakusho is nostalgia and most of the people are a hardcore fan of YuYu Hakusho.

First If you want to have an apples to apples comparison of the Anime and the Live Adaptation.
it is very difficult, why because Anime does not have Limits and Live Adaptation has Limitations,
Actor Schedules, Actor Health, Actor safety, Movie Rules, Not All Staff are Anime Hardcore Fans, they are a fan but not that hardcore, they do it for a living, Directors Time, Budget of the producers, Location and Animation Production Costs, Post Production Costs, Licensing Cost of the Franchise, Copyright Laws and Regulations on each Countries.
There are many factors for Live Adaptation while in Anime, the Artist needs to time to complete the story,

The Good
CAST - This is why Japanese Cast of Live Anime Adaptation is very fitting, they can portrait the emotions well
because it is part of the culture.
SCORE - BGM's are on point
Production - well made considering the budget

The BAD
OST - i don't want to talk about, except for the Truck Driver listening to Good Music
SUBBING - some expressions are toned down, some is not sync with what has said , believe me, when you can understand Nihon, you will cringe, that's not what he said. hahhaha


Rewatchable, hell yeah, Can't wait for the Gate Arc, hopefully with these release sponsors will come thru, I am one of them


Cheers Mate!!!
