Fourteen-year-old Yusuke Urameshi, the hero of the fantasy-adventure Yu Yu Hakusho, brags about being the toughest kid in Sarayashki Junior High: He lives to fight, especially with his rival Kuwabara. When Yusuke's killed saving a little boy from a speeding car, he's given another chance by Koenma, the son of the ruler of the Spirit World. If Yusuke properly nurtures a "spirit egg," it will hatch into a benevolent beast that can help him return to his body permanently; too much negative energy will produce a monster that will devour him. Yusuke temporarily wins his life back with some help from Kayko (or Keiko), the girl he secretly loves, and Botan, the pretty pilot of the River Styx. Koenma makes him a "spirit detective," assigned to tracking down evil spirits prowling the human world. Yusuke's evolution from selfish thug to good guy includes some false steps, but he defeats his first foes with a mixture of daring, imagination, luck--and kindness. He wins over Kuwabara and the demons Kurama and Hiei, and undergoes special training from super-psychic Genkai. Yusuke and his allies battle the four "Saint Beasts," demons associated with the Chinese directional animals, and rescue a Snow Maiden imprisoned by a corrupt capitalist. These episodes conclude with the opening of the Dark Tournament, a sort of supernatural WWF tag-team smackdown that will take up most of the next two seasons. This popular comedy-adventure plays like a cross between Dragon Ball Z and a minor Frank Capra movie. (Rated TV PG: risque humor, cartoon violence, violence against women, alcohol and tobacco use.) --Charles Solomon

 Yu Yu Seasons!! October 25, 2008
I enjoyed this season alot. I like the way they had the first few episodes of the Dark Tournament in it.
 A Great Series But If You Have The Original Dvds Don't Bother October 16, 2008
I'm sure by now most anime fans know the storyline of this series. Yusuke a delinquent 15 year old school kid is killed by a car but after speaking with Koenma a child-looking spirit lord he's brought back to life after a few quests and becomes the Spirit Detective of Earth. As a spirit detective Yusuke's job is to protect humans from the demons and spirits who sneak into the living world and try to wreak havoc on earth. I just want to give a heads up to anyone who's already bought the first season single dvds. There is no difference with the ones that were single dvds an the first season box set if you've never bought any of the dvds than yes I say get this first season box set but if you already own the first season dvds from before just keep those. To the new viewers of this show I say if you like supernatural action-packed fighting animes with the powerful demons and evil spirits try the first season and see if it's to your liking I think you'll be very happy to have gotten this box set.

a qaulity anime September 26, 2008
yu yu hakusho offers only the best in anime and well worth the price.i own the old box sets myself but for anyone never seeing this series,i strongly recommond it to anyone thats a fan of anime in general.it has everything.fighting,romance,comedy,drama,as well as an excellent voice cast.the spirit detective saga,also called season one,is one of my favorite saga of any show and the storyline is some of the best.very good character devopement troughout so you get to feel for the characters as the show goes along.the series itself slows down alot after the dark tournement,also an excellent saga,but other than that its awesome.highly reccommond it!
Yu Yu Hakusho rocks August 28, 2008
I'm so glad I bought this box set. Yu Yu Hakusho is one of my favorite fighting anime ever. I got hooked watching it on Cartoon Network as a kid and have never regretted watching it. ^_^ This particular boxset is awesome. It has 2 slimcases with 4 discs total for 28 episodes. Compared to other anime which put ~4 eps to a disc you get to watch twice as much before having to make the switch. ^_^
Plus the price can't be beat. I got my set for $21 and will be getting the second season for $19 since I preordered it. I've never seen anime so cheap! But its still great quality. I will be ordering the entire series from Amazon because no one else can beat these prices.
