Yu Yu Hakusho: Season Two (Classic) [Blu-ray]

The Dark Tournament on blu-ray
After watching Season One on blu-ray, it was a no-brainer to revisist Season Two with another frame-by-frame remaster and Dolby TrueHD 5.1 English and 2.0 Japanese dubbing, both of which are excellent in their own rights. Speaking of dubbing, the English version has indeed been redubbed to address the characer Suzuki *ahem* sorry, the beautiful Suzuki, by the Japanese pronunciation. This time around the episodes are split as such:

Disc 1: Episodes 29-38
Disc 2: Episodes 39-47
Disc 3: Episodes 48-56
--(plus additional trailers and textless opening/closing music videos)

The Dark Tournament is in full swing this season and Yusuke's team members all show amazing new abilities and powers. From the Dragon of the Darkness Flame to the resurfacing of Yoko Kurama, this season ups the ante and brings the heat.
This is the stuff legends are made of...

Good but not Great
Yu Yu Hakusho is a classic series of which I've been a fan of since I was a little girl, and a long series at that. So, I was ecstatic to find the complete series. I won't review the series here (there's a wiki page for it and plenty of online reviews for the show itself), just the box set.

Packaging:
Overall, I would have preferred a single box set, but considering the series length, the four sets take up very little self space. Each season is two thinpaks (each containing two discs) in a slim, thin box. Honestly, I wish the box covers were a bit thicker and sturdier, these will tear and show wear quite easily I'm afraid. Each season has a different character theme for the box and thinpaks, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, etc, and character themes for set of menus on the dvd's. Every inch of the box sets are covered in nice art, from beautiful line art on the inside of the thinpaks to colorful group artwork on the covers; the only undecorated space is the dvd's...
