Dragonball Z. Both shows are fighting-based and have spirit worlds.

Well, I'm happy I'm gonna get a chance to see what it's all about. My finances haven't been letting me go out and purchase the anime titles I really want to see.

But with DBZ, they made script changes, so that the afterlife was called an "alternate dimension." It's a bit trickier to hide it in Hakusho.

This is amazing news. This is a rumor that has been going around for some time and I was suggesting them to get it on the Adult Swim boards. I am so happy. I really like the series and this way I can see new episodes even before the dvd's come out.

Luckily, by the time "Yu Yu Hakusho" got onto Toonami, Toonami had gotten rid of that silly rule that forbid them using words like "kill" and "die". And while the show does deal with the supernatural, apparently they're allowed to mention a Spirit World, just so long as they don't distinguish between Heaven and Hell or something like that.

Saturday doesn't seem viable. Most of shows on there are hyper-active and kiddy by nature (don't mention Kenshin and YYH.) I'm most certainly seeing an Adult Swim premiere for it. Hopefully this means we won't be watching Reign for too long...


yeah .//HACKSIGN is quite the hyperactive romp


there's no way this would be on toonami anyway, it's too deep and complicated for kids to understand, especially when spoiler[Robin finds out her own agency's out to get her, and the whole conspiracy starts to unravel]

Adult Swim please! Surprised
I saw this show awhile back and is definately one I recommend. I don't think CN would ever put this show on Toonami because of it's mood. I'll be looking out for this when it comes on...
I'd like to hear the dub. Cool

What kind of a show is WHR all I have heard are good things 'bout it(I came this---close to buying the dvd but the Jubei-chan Ninja girl boxset won).Is it real moody and dark with a real good story or what?

There is a plot summary, links, and a review of disc 1 in the encyclopedia.

Great. Just when I'm . . . Confused moving away. CN is very evil. They did the same thing with Big O the last time I . . . moved.

I am glad that WHR will now be on television. I think that it will be aired on Adult Swim, I watch that more than Toonami anyways. Besides, the cards on adult swim are always funny. I haven't seen any other block of shows do that for a while. O yeah, hello, I am new to the boards. I think I will like this site, I just hope that it is more organized than adult swim's message boards.

Welcome to the board Pendragon.

I think think it'll be intresting to see how WHR does on Adult Swim/CN. It's a slow paced anime, with no where near as much action as the other shows. If it pulls off well, we could probably see it be the door opener for other anime with the same pace, and serious stuff, shows like Wolf's Rain, Last Exile, and heck, even Utena. Though the day Utena broadcasts on TV will be a day I will go to the nutter house from giggling uncontrollably.

Robin gets very dark and deals from the start with the occult. Their are serious issues and problems that may still have editing issues, but I think it will be much less edited than say, Blue Gender. Considering some late plot points, like Orbo Smile , and the nature of the child, I doubt the edits will be problem considering InuYasha dealing with the occult.
As for the feel of the show? X-files with magic and a boss who looks like Hitler.
The pace would not do well on anything but Adult Swim.
And I dredge the conversations that will come up at the end.
