After One Piece, Netflix is bringing manga fans another live-action adaptation with Yu Yu Hakusho. In a teaser trailer, the streaming service provides a glimpse of the new series. Many anime fans are excited and hope for a good adaptation.
What is Yu Yu Hakusho? It is about the teenager Yusuke Urameshi, who gets into all sorts of trouble … and dies in a surprisingly selfless moment.
However, he receives a second chance after his death and returns as a spirit detective to the world of the living to fight against demons.
The source material is a shōnen manga by Yoshihiro Togashi, which was published in the 90s. It was also adapted into an anime that aired between 1992 and 1995.
In Germany, the anime is relatively unknown. This is because it was never released in German.
