YOOOOO, this could work. Certainly more than One Piece

Oh shit, that's crazy, I literally was thinking about this yesterday when going through old Toonami promos. "Man, Yu Yu Hakusho would make for a cool live action show. Eh, maybe not, some of the bad guys and powers are pretty out there... and it'd have to be Japan-produced, not sure it would work transplanted to another culture..."

It'd be easy to fuck up. Strong characters and a pretty straightforward plot, but the show is really drenched in a certain period and aesthetic that it'd feel weird removed from.

It's like, between Bebop and One Piece on the "plausible Western anime adaptation" scale.

It could definitely work in a live action setting. Probably better than most shonen, but still gonna be a crapshoot.

I don't trust Netflix. They made edgy Winx.

I love Yu Yu Hakusho so idk how to feel about this.

I'm thinking
Jason Momoa as Heie
Tom Holland as Kurama
Michael B Jordan as Kuwabara
Joel McHale as Yusuke

My first response is no but Yu Yu is one of the few that could work. It's not a show that would translate into needing a massive budget to work.

Honestly I don't think this will escape development hell.

I'm good. YYH is perfectly fine as is. Not everything needs a revival.

Hmm, I wonder if they'll really go with toddler Koenma or adult Koenma out of the gate.
