Thank You Funimation!
REVISED REVIEW
So, this product hasn't been listed very long. Except for "Golden Seal" (which was previously dubbed by another company), I have not viewed this product in English. All I can do for now is tell you what I know about the Japanese equivalent of this product. I will update this review when I get more information.
THE MOVIE: GOLDEN SEAL
WARNING: You may have seen a Yu Yu Hakusho / Ninku double feature listed on Amazon. DON'T BUY THAT VERSION. That is the old version, dubbed by another company with different voice actors and less creative script writers. As a result, it is almost universally considered awful.
--This is called a movie, but it's actually the same length as an episode from the TV series. It even has the same opening and ending theme sequences (in this case it's the second season's ending theme, "Sayonara Bye-Bye").
--The plot is self-contained, so you won't have to watch another episode for the big...
For true fans only
What you get in this set is basically the "movie" which is roughly 20 minutes, and some short clips (OVAs) and an short 10 minute episode or so with all the characters together again while the opening and ending themes play every 2-3 minutes, going through all of the endings and the two different versions of the opening theme, that is all on the first disc and is in English dub.
The movie is a little over 20 minutes like I said so its basically like an episode. I found the "movie" to be enjoyable but like this entire release I find it to be for true fans only and fans of the series. If someone were to randomly buy this set without viewing all/most of Yu Yu Hakusho the series I doubt they'd really enjoy it especially not knowing about the characters and all that. I loved that Funimation gathered the entire voice acting crew back together for this late final release, after I got done watching all of these clips it made me want to rewatch YYH completely all day but it also...
Needs Re-Release
This is okay. Everything that's already on it can stay, but it needs to be re-released to include the YYH Movie 2: Poltergeist Report using the original English Dub actors as well as the English character dubbing for the songs/videos on Disk 2. If these were included, this would be gold.
