Yu Yu Hakusho

Well, in English, it really doesn't make much difference. In fact, an English speaker's "Yu Yu" probably would sound a more like the Japanese "Yuu Yuu". Any more stretching the vowel, and you end up with "You You Hawkashoe", which is um... Phonologically, Japanese and English are really rather different.

But keep in mind that whereas in English "Yu" or "Yuu" doesn't make a whole lot of difference, this does make a very big difference in Japanese.

So in English, yep, I have no qualms with the way most people pronounciation of "Yu Yu". It's the "Hakusho" that usually gets everyone messed up anyway

Don't mean to be a jerk but Arigatomyna that isn't hiei unless they changed him in english anime...

Anyway I like Yu Yu Hakusho or however u say it
The onlything i don't like is how they make Yusuke look in the dark tournement.
He looks so stupid with the new hair and stuff.

You're a literalist, no offense taken. ^.~

That picture is my sig. A sig often describes the person using it. And my sig links to my website. The text on my sig doesn't refer to my avatar picture (which does feature Kurama, not Hiei), it refers to me, my site, and the joke about which it was made - my Hiei obsession.

This must be the first time someone has taken a sig so literally. It's cute. But no, you're right, Kurama is not Hiei outside of bootlegs.

/the joke, in the bootlegs the subtitlers mixed Kurama and Hiei's names - they switched them around, so you're right, they did change Hiei's name in the anime, only it was the Chinese subtitled anime

I believe Kuwabara was translated as "Washin" too - and that's one more reason why I need to find a few decent episode summaries for the Makai Tournament saga.

...of course, it's not like I own those bootlegs or anything =P

you know, now that I know that there are tons of YYH fans out there. which I'm happy about,

I've seen Inuyasha amv's as much as YYh amv's, I realize YYH has more action (I don't want to start anything but thats how I feel) I looked in Anime Insider, a magazine I read alot. Out of ation anime, Inuyasha first, then Yu Yu Hakusho.

ehh...thats prolly cuz Inuyasha is twice as long as YYH (112)...all in all i think YYH definately is more action pack and concentrated...means doesnt have that much scenes such as romance and such unlike Inuyasha...

Well I know there's tons of YYH fans out there, as I said before. Anyway, keep watching Yu Yu Hakusho everyone ^^ It may be only 112 episodes but it still kicks ass!
