4.0 out of 5 stars Mmm, correction..., October 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Yu Yu Hakusho - Dark Tournament - Sword and Dragon (Edited Version) (DVD)

There are only 3 episodes on this DVD, not 4. Sakyo's proposal will be on the next DVD.

While I'm unhappy that they've cut down on the number of episodes they're putting on each disk, I can hope that when they're done with the Dark Tournament, they'll go back to their previous policy.

Other than that, the three episodes on this disk are great. Hiei's big fight is shown in its entirety, and if you watch it in Japanese, you *will* learn how to say "Ensatsu Kokuryu-ha" or "Jao Ensatsu Ken Kokuryu-ha"--the name of his big attack. The English version uses a lot more pronouns. Just a silly little thing for your amusement. It reminded me of the Christian Arc of Kenshin, where Kaoru and Yahiko kept repeating the name of Kenshin's final attack: Ama kakeru ryu no hirameki." But I digress...

The animation style in the second episode on this DVD is screwy. The animators obviously took a short break and someone with a distorted sense of proportion stepped in. It's not that bad, just screwy.

I also recomment that if you're going to buy this DVD, you get either the rest of the Dark Tournament, the rest of the series, or at least the three disks before it. It's a series. A few episodes don't really stand alone.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of my Favorite Yu Yu Hakusho Fights!!!, January 30, 2005

This review is from: Yu Yu Hakusho - Dark Tournament - Sword and Dragon (Edited Version) (DVD)

This DvD was almost perfect. Here are the Pros and Cons
Pros.
The attacks everybody does look more realistic
Hieh and Bui's fight only takes 2 eps
The action eeps you wondering what will happen
Kuwabara finally knows about Genkai's death

Cons.
End keeps you wondering so much
Kurama has to spoil it all by wondering if Hieh was really going to summon the dragon of Darkness flame which really would make you have that feeling that Hieh is not going to summon it.
Younger Togouro. He really annoys me in this DvD.
I think this DvD was stil great. The fight between Bui & Hieh was pretty good. Yu Yu Hakusho has now become No.3 on my top ten favorite Tv shows. If you are just in for a bit of curiosity
I'll just put down the top ten.
No.1 Mobile Suit Gundam Seed
No.2 .Hack/Legend of the Twilight
No.3 Yu Yu Hakusho
No.4 Rurouni Kenshin
No.5 Dragon Ball Z & GT
No.6 Rave Master
No.7 Last Exile
No.8 Zoids
No.9 Robotech
No.10 Zoids Fuzors
I guess there are other favorite shows but skip that. Hieh's fight with Bui is awesome. This is edited for younger kids but I only bought this because I'm used to it on Cartoon Network.
In this DvD the only people who could fight Bui was either Koenma, Yusuke, Kuwabara, or Hieh. I was intrested to see how Kuwabara would fair against Bui but Hieh would do the better job. The way Bui tries to block the dragon is amazing but to tell you the truth this DvD can get boring after a while. I would reccomend getting the Yoko Kurama DvD before yu get this. Until Next time. (Hey! For those who were interested in my list should read my about me section.)
