I have mixed feelings, but the action does look pretty good.

Yeah, after One Piece knocked it the f*ck out of the park, I'm not judging anything until after I see the whole thing.

Still too old for the lead, but it's passable.

Unless they're gonna reveal more later, it seems they're minimizing the whole (CGI-heavy?) demon world aspect.
Otherwise, this looks quite decent.

I'm not feeling this one. Avatar looked pretty good yesterday though.

Avatar is one of my all time favorite shows so I was really skeptical about this live action especially since it’s Netflix lol but I’ll admit the trailer got me a bit interested.

I'm so hyped.
This is my favourite anime of all time, from my favourite author. Even if they change thigs (they are going to, based on the trailer), it looks so good it can be a great "what if" or something like that. Even if characters doesn't seem quite right having the originals in mind, it can be a great series by it's own. At least, I want that for this hahaha

Actual looks pretty good! Looks like they put some work into the cinematography and fight choreography. Cautionally optimistic for it.

I think it looks a bit too serious and I hope the show has some actual humor in it but the effects look impressive enough and the cast looks fine so I will give it a shot. Yu Yu Hakusho is still my favorite shonen series.

This is my concern as well. It looks great and seems very promising, but I'm worried they took all of the fun out of it. If Yusuke isn't his normal loud self then what's the point? I'm hopeful the trailer just edited it to make it look more gritty than it really is.

Also no baby Koenma. Adult form looked good anyway.

I was initially skeptical due to the lack of almost any information. It's looking really good. Seem to have a good mixture of Cheese, Shonen bullshit, Live Action and CGI.

Strange that they had a lot of Kurama and Yuusuke and only small glimpses of Kazuma and Hiei. Toguro is probably the most accurate looking of them all. (It's the sunglasses).

Hey look, it´s wire-fu cosplay bullshit that doesn´t understand its own medium and is paced as if it was written on cocaine. I am shocked I tell you! Level E could work in live action on an elevated sentai budget even better than it ever could as an anime but it has no name value.

I really wish these projects didn't all take place a night or heavy overcast daytime. I'm not a fan of washed out and dull visuals all live-action adaptions always seem to go for

It doesn't look terrible. Interesting to see what they're including first.
