Over what? The fact that it's rerunning again? It went to reruns on a clifhanger? Why doesn't Yusuke just wear the a nice suit and tie instead of the green uniform?
Give us something to work on.

I think he means the series in general. I like it, but don't love it. The only reason I like the show is for the kick-butt attitude every episode brings. For instance, Kuawabara may seem useless, but the show would be boring without him. My own quarrel: That stupid little penguin that keeps on saying "poo". This is a guy's show. Stop trying to make it look cute.

YYH is my current favorite on CN. People compare it to DBZ, but I think it's better. At least they don't have 5 episodes that deal with no progression of the story/fight like DBZ did.
And yes, I'm increadibly PO that CN keeps leaving YYH(and every other anime) at a cliffhanger right before the big fight. At least the last time they did this to YYH, they showed the last 4 episodes of the Saint Beast all in one night. But that was on saturday night AS.
Does anyone know if on the DVD's they show Yuskue smoking? I know that he does in the original, but CN cut that out and make Genkai smoke so Yuskue would have the cigarette during her compition.

When it first came out I wasnt too interested in it but I have since caught a few more episodes and it has grown on me and now I look forward to seeing it.
I also think Botan is an anime hottie

YYH is a VERY entertaining series. Kuwabara was, at first, an annoying character but he has become pretty cool.
As for the cliffhangers. I see no problem with cutting off at a cliffhanger. Good TV series do that sort of thing all of the time to ensure that their viewing audience returns next season. Keep in mind, you are only having to wait a couple of months for new episodes.

I find that I like YYH in spite of myself. Even though its predictable and pretty simplistic, its just plain fun. I guess its addictive in the same way DBZ was. I do like a lot of the chracters in YYH... Kurama and Hei are pretty sweet. I also have to give props to Kuwabara's sister... she's kind of a unique character when it comes to anime women (morbidly sarcastic, witty, and a total hard ass). Incidently, I still find Kuwabara himself massively annoying.
I was kind of disappointed they started all the way back at the beginning. I had missed quite a few of the newest episodes and now it seems I have to wait quite a while to see them. Oh well, I guess it makes sense to start back at the beginning.... again....

They went all the way to episode....what....54? I was thinking Toonami was showing too many new episodes and was wondering when they were gonna start over. I know it's been on CN before, but it's new on Toonami. I thought it would end right before the Dark Tournament saga.

I've been getting in YY H in the past couple of weeks (er, again) and I have enjoyed the ups and downs of Yuskue's party. I do have mix feelings about CN cutting it just at the the final round, but hey, it'll keep wondering what will happen in next couple of weeks, even though I have a good feeling what will happen.

The starting over is good for me since I am new to the series. I started watching at part where the gopher toothed jerk of a teacher was trying to fail the big red haired guy and his friends. I am now watching it when I can.

If they wanted to go all the way to the end of the dark tounament, they would ahve to dubbed about another 11 episodes so its not like ends shortly after they stopped. I have seen all of those and they fights with hei and yoko kurama are really really good, but the messed up the ones with yuske and kurabara so your not missing that much. After the dark tournament, the series starts to get better cause stuff isnt as predictable so thats what you should be excited to see.

mmmmmn yeah YYH is great. I've seen just about the entire series. I got 2 dvd boxed sets straight from japan. They did the subtitling so the grammar is horrid so sometimes it takes a bit to try to figure out what they're trying to say, but it's still great. I think there's one more box set left that I need and I'm trying to track it down.
You guys that are watching it on Cn and haven't seen further have seen nothin yet It just gets better and better

I was told they were from Japan. I got them at a place called Sakura-something in vancouver. There was a section of imports and when I asked the owner he told me that it was from Japan. Dunno........just what I was told.

How many discs came with it? If it came from Japan where they frequently set out series with only 2 eps per disc, you should have close to 50 discs. If you've got between 10-15 discs (basically 6-10 eps per disc) chances are it's a Taiwanese bootleg. I know of a few places out there that will sell you something and tell you it's a genuine import from Japan, and then when you confront them with proof that it isn't will apologize and say they didn't know. Then turn right around and tell the next guy that asks that it's a legit copy.
Almost forgot to ask how much you paid for it. If it was around $300 or less then it more than likely is bootleg, closer to $1000+ then it could very well be genuine.
