About Yu Yu Hakusho: The Movie - Poltergeist Report

Here is what Yu Yu Hakusho: The Movie - Poltergeist Report (幽☆遊☆白書 冥界死闘篇 炎の絆) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, comedy and supernatural anime by Studio Pierrot and A Line (1994). At its core: Millennia ago, a war was fought between the Netherworld and the Spirit World. Ultimately, the Netherworld was destroyed and Lord Yakumo, the King of the Netherworld, was banished to the depths of space.

From there, now, five defenders from the Spirit Realm has to team-up against Yakumo's Demon-Gods for possesion of five, mystical sites. Lord Yakumo is dangerously close to reclaiming the Strength Sphere - the source of the Netherworld's energy - and once it is again in his possession, our realm will become the new Netherworld.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Nozomu Sasaki as Yuusuke Urameshi and Shigeru Chiba as Kazuma Kuwabara. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 1 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
