Review:

Gene took a look at the second Yu Yu Hakusho movie this week. While an overall enjoyable series movie, it sufferes from poor dubbing quality and its inability to break through the ceiling that it is trapped in as far as series movies go. While it at least reached its limit, the visuals were quite nice and the fights aren’t too shabby. We walked away with giving it a 6 out of 10. Oh yea, they change some names on ya if you’re use to the original series.

Remember, we love emails, message board posts, comments. Send your email to animeshaft@gmail.com . Any email messages(we’ll read ‘em), audio files(we’ll play ‘em) or other questions.

If you’re talking about SHAFT then you can digg it.
