Yu Yu Hakusho Review
Yu Yu Hakusho is about 14 year old Yusuke Urameshi, who claims to be the toughest of the tough and who lives to fight especially with his long time rival Kuwabara. That all changes when Yusuke is killed while saving a little kid. He is given a second chance by the son of the ruler of spirit world. If Yusuke can properly nurture a spirit egg, it can hatch into a beautiful beast that will help him return to the living, but too much negative energy, and he will produce a monster who will eat him. That all goes to waste when he uses the same egg to save someone from a burning building.
He is later brought back to life and given the title of spirit detective by Koenma. That means it’s his job to track down the evil spirits roaming the human world.
Later on in the anime he wins over his old rival Kuwabara as well...

1. To cosplay or not to cosplay?
It’s completely up to you if you want to cosplay (costume play) or not. If yes, then you will need about a month in advance, depending on your outfit, to prepare. If this is your first or second time I would suggest going for something simple.
Team Rocket from Pokemon or a simple Studio Ghibli character would be your best bet. You can go as something a bit more complicated another year.
You may need to take some small supplies with you. For example, if you are wearing tights, then bring a clear nail polish to prevent them from laddering. Also you may need to sew something back on to your outfit if it breaks, a small hotel sewing kit will do the job.
2. Wear comfortable shoes.
You may not be able to avoid wearing uncomfortable shoes depending on your outfit, but if you are going to be... Great Gift Ideas For The Anime Fan
Whether you need a gift for Christmas, a birthday or other occasion, anime fans can be hard to buy for, especially if you know little about the world known as “anime”. First, let me explain a little about it. Anime is a type of animation that started in Japan. Basically, you can call it a Japanese version of cartoons. However, it has some big differences. Where American animation tends to be geared primarily towards children, there are actually many types of anime, geared for many ages and interests. For instance, there are series targeted squarely at young boys, young girls, young women and so on. There are also adult series, with more adult themes and content. There are also many different thematic styles of anime, including those centered around robots (called mecha), romantic series, fighting series, school life series...

I’ve been watching Naruto for a few years now, and I have to say its one of my favorite animes. So I wanted to support the show and eventually buy the official dvds. The Naruto series is based on the manga of the same name by Masashi Kishimoto. The Season One, Vol. 1 dvd box set contains the first 25 episodes of the series(both in English and Japanese with subtitles). The story is about a 12 year old boy named Naruto Uzumaki who is fighting for acknowledgement from his village and more. When he was just an infant, the 4th Hokage sealed the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox (Kyuubi in sub) inside of him to protect the villagers. The sealing took the 4th’s life.
