The Yu Yu Hakusho manga series created by Yoshihiro Togashi first began serialization in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine.
The adaptation of the Yu Yu Hakusho manga into an anime television series aired its first episode in Japan.
Funimation acquired the licensing rights for Yu Yu Hakusho to release the anime in English speaking markets, increasing the show's international popularity.
Season 1 was one of my favorite anime binges in a long time. Such a fun mix of thoughtfulness (movement through time), silliness, and cool scenes (The Ruins of The King's Tomb). I can't wait to watch season 2. I know it's airing as I write this, but I like taking in entire seasons at once if I can manage it.
