Needles to say, when I first heard that Yu Yu Hakusho was moving to Toonami from Adult Swim, I was a little apprehensive. I was hoping that it would retain the same level of editing that Adult Swim had. I know now that it was a little bit much to ask for. In all actuality, it is turning out to be one of the most heavily edited shows Cartoon Network airs. (ok, maybe I can't back up that claim. But it certainly seems like it at times). Now the first time I'm seeing a lot of the unedited episodes is when I'm doing this list. So I'm might be a little surprised what is revealed at times.
Yu Yu Hakusho is a 112 episode Funimation title. It depicts the life of Yusuke Urameshi. It all starts one fateful day when the young Yusuke does a selfless deed that no one saw coming (Including the powers that be in the Spirit World).
Typical edits to expect...
- OP removed.
- ED Shortened - all the images are still there, but the time their on screen is shortened.
- Language Edits, Yusuke is a Foul mouthed punk. And that fact alone should keep the sensors busy
- Blood... a lot of the blood will probably be removed. Not that it's excessive, but it can at times... ridiculous
- Any Vices (like Smoking, Drinking, ect.)
- And pretty much anything else that threatens the status-quo. (Just take a look at Miyuki in Episode #24 "The Deadly Triad" as an example)
