The Old School Otaku Lounge

We have all 4 male leads announced for the new Live-action Yu Yu Hakusho series now: https://animenostalgia.tumblr.com/post/ ... r-netflixs

Out of the 4, Yusuke definitely looks the best imo. My first impression on seeing them all was that I think the Japanese stage play musicals did a much better job on the wigs and costuming lol. What do you all think?

Props for the all-Japanese cast here. But Kuwabara without his famous hairdo? Madness!
It's clear they were going for a more realistic approach to this new Netflix version, though given how fantastical YYH is to begin with, I agree they could have gotten away with more "anime-like" designs.
Even Urameshi's stage play version is a little better, with those stray hair strands falling from his pompadour.

Overall, they ain't too shabby though - Without those stage play versions to compare to, I'd totally be on board with these.
