For a good chunk of the 1990s, Yu Yu Hakusho was one of the biggest hits in the anime/manga world.
No release date has been announced, but Netflix does say that its live-action Yu Yu Hakusho will stream worldwide.
But now, as the series is celebrating its 30th anniversary, comes an announcement that Yu Yu Hakusho is entering a new media realm in the form of a live-action series from Netflix. This isn’t Netflix’s first foray into anime-to-live-action adaptations.
Netflix Japan’s Director of Content and Acquisitions, Kazutaka Sakamoto, will serve as executive producer for the live-action Yu Yu Hakusho, and his admiration for the source material shows in his comments about the project.
