    This is one of the best anime movies I've ever seen. It's what had gotten me into the entire anime series. I love all of the characters, both good and bad (minus a few annoying bad guys). This is a great series to get in to if you like lots of fighting, demons, and comedy.

    I love it!^^ It's a great movie!^^ Only thing that irritated me is that Enlish voices weren't the same as the tv series and they didn't fit the characters that well. But the movie itse;f was awesome!!!^^

    It's a pretty good movie. But it kind of lost my interest later on in my anime filled life. But I think that this movie is good to have for all Yu Yu Hakusho fans.

    Creatures from the Netherworld plan to take over the world. It's the job of the Rekei Tentei's to stop this horrible deed.

    The animation is good for the time of release, the storyline is your basic save-the-world-from-evil type of story, however, it's just cool, and I recommend this for anyone who's already seen the anime, however, if you haven't, you'll still know what's going on. :)

    One of my all-time favorite anime series, I was surprised to find this; the voices could have been a bit better, but the plot was pretty good.

    Not as good as the series, but still watchable. The animation is improved, but the voicing has some obvious mistakes.
