Wow this was just... bad..

First off, if you watched the series in dubbed, don't watch this, because it's all different voice actors and the voices don't match the characters.. They don't even know how to pronounce the names correctly in this dub.. SO FAIL.

The story well.. isn't there, it's basically just a bad piece of filler that has no point, it tries to end up in being a comedy and fails at that too...

It's not that bad. It's stupid, but if you look at it as purely supplemental from a non-critical standpoint, it's an acceptable short. The dub sucks, but that's not a fault of the work itself, and can't be used as a legit criticism.

It could have passed as a three episode filler arc, but of course with more content.

It wasn't that bad.
It were 5 or more years since I've watched an episode of Yu Yu hakusho.

So in this movie, Yusuke is depicted to be already dating Keiko.

I watched this dubbed hoping for the voices I am use to, as I am about 36 episodes in, and the movie came out the same time 38 did. I was sadly mistaken, and had to deal with a horrific dub. The story was very meh, I was expecting a bit more from a Yu Yu Hakusho movie, but then I saw the length of the movie and realized to put my expectations low, I never thought I'd give something Yu Yu Hakusho below a 6.

So all this was for Koashura's revenge on Koenma for taking his girl. Those 10000 spankings he'll have to endure, Damn! Koashura should've been a regular in the TV series, he's such a funny cute person.

What was more funny though was Yusuke's magma lucky defeat on Yasha! But overall it wasn't a good movie but they did their best, and the animation quality was lacking.

6/10.

Well, that was boring. It was certainly an unusual situation though, Koenma doesn't often get kidnapped, lol.

Bit of a stretch to call this a movie. Anyway, it was underwhelming. 5/10.

The dub has a different cast than the tv series dub.

I found it to be decent enough; basically feels like a bonus 113th episode of the TV series in length.

Standard shonen filler writing. 5/10 as it moves a lot, nice scenes of 2d background animation.

For anyone wondering there is a dub with the anime cast. So try to find that if you dont want to watch tge original media blasters dub. Not sure when funimation actually dubbed it, but it's there. Now all that's left is for them to hopefully get the rights to the poltergeist report and picture special one day soon

The dub is jarring, but in a way that adds to the enjoyment.

I guess long ago it was hard to find this properly dubbed. THere's not much meat to it but its a cute little extra that doesn't add much to the series. It does highlight how good the show's animation was though. This got something approaching a movie budget and it doesn't look way better than the show (in a good way).
It’s time to ditch the text file.
