I know I missed yesterday’s review. What can I say, I have a life. Anyway, I’ll be posting two today to make up for it.
In general, I’m okay with the manga-to-anime transition Yu Yu Hakusho made, but I’m majorly bugged by how they cut Sayaka’s backstory. Seeing her appear as the investigator means something totally different for the manga fans.
Also, props to Sayaka for shipping YusukexKeiko. Sayaka and Botan are shippers now, this is canon because I say so.
Oh, look, a teacher at this school that I don’t totally despise. He even has a tacky teacher tie. What’s not to like about a tacky teacher tie?
I wanna know more about this guy. Is he just a pyromaniac? Is he an enemy of Yusuke’s? Is he an enemy of Atsuko? Is he an enemy of the Yakuza and wants to murder Atsuko as a result? SO MANY QUESTIONS. Actually, my headcanon is he’s related to Atsuko’s Yakuza connection. Probably didn’t know she wasn’t home and wanted to smoke her out.
Today’s shout out is dedicated to the only guy in this crowd who’s trying to put out the fire. Aside from Keiko, you seem to be the only one who cares that there might still be someone inside.
I don’t know your name, but I’ll always remember you, Water Flinging Bucket Guy. *salutes*
I love how Kuwabara’s initial reaction to seeing Yusuke’s body isn’t, “WTF you’re a sicko!” it’s, “Come on, we can’t let you get arrested for this!” It’s almost like he figures she might be going mad with mourning and he just doesn’t want to see her life ruined because of it. Once again, leading me to the statement that Kuwabara is a total sweetheart. How do you not love this big orange marshmallow?
And, of course, here’s your obligatory collection of priceless screencaps.
I love it.
