"I didn't expect you to be so quick to understand"

It is not easy to create a series that has as broad an appeal as this one, since it caters to teenagers but also has many elements that make it a great choice for adults. There is quite a bit of action and a story that walks along the lines of good vs. evil, but that also shows the inner struggles of the main character and his awakening to a world that is different than he previously thought. The exploration of the meaning of life and of how the existence of each of us affects many people, even if we are not aware of it, is presented in an easy to digest way, and therefore, is way more effective.
This DVD, which includes a whooping fourteen episodes, starts with the death of the main character. Yes, you read right! Yusuke Urameshi is a high school student that has no regard for authority and can easily be described as a punk. But one day, he surprised the spirits in heaven by giving his life in order to save a kid that was going to be run over by a car. This alteration of the natural order creates a problem, and the Grim Reaper and her boss, King Koenma, decide to give Yusuke a chance to come back to the living world. As you can imagine, it is not that simple, and there is a test involved in doing so. From that point forward, this fantastic story captures our attention and does not let go, not even for a second.
The change we see in the main character, even in these first episodes, is truly amazing, and the fact that this is connected to the reactions of other characters to his death, makes us reflect on our own existence. The creators did a great job with the secondary characters too, since these provide romance, challenge, and unconditional friendship. As Yusuke's journey progresses, we also get to see some pretty tough bad guys!
The fact that appearances are not important is central to the story, and we are going to meet an unlikely Grim Reaper and an even more unlikely King Koenma, who in the absence of his father is in charge of ruling the spirit world.
It is not common to see a series that uses fantasy in such a proficient way, has a very creative and enthralling plot, and a high level of action that does not get boring. I highly recommend you to try it! |
