Solving mysteries in
Bb, F and D.

Julias posted:

The early arcs of yyh are fairly dull/cliche by todays standards, yeah, and slow to start off (the manga is even slower, spending longer at the beginning with episodic tales of ghost boy). Most people's fond memories of yyh seem to cone from the Dark Tournament and Chapter Black arcs, yeah.

So I started watching this.

Even in the anime, the tales of ghost boy went on for a bit longer than I probably would have preferred, but now that I'm past it I'm legitimately enjoying everything being "Reikai [this]" or "Reikai [that]". Where I am right now, some burglars are breaking into the "Great Treasure Hall of the Spirit Realm" (Reikai Daiji Shokan... Spirit World Important-library) which is completely on-the-nose, but in a hilarious way.

Yeah, I know that every other comedy anime has parodied this in some way or another ("Uchuu CQC!"), but I'm having a grand time watching one of the shows that prompted those sorts of parodies.

Some weirdness with the official subs that distracted me. When the voice actors were clearly saying "Enma" (presumably Japanese pronunciation of a Chinese word) in ep 2, the subs kept saying "Yama". But as far as Koenma is concerned, they just left him as "Koenma Jr." from the very beginning. I mean, it's an interesting question... if Western Buddhists use the proper Chinese pronunciation, but a show pronounces it differently, but it's a proper name... what's the least disrespectful way to translate it? It's a question that I'd never thought of before.

I think so, or at least i haven't noticed anything bad that stuck out to me. Also, they might be the same subs that crunchyroll used? I can't say for sure though.

Here's an example (and also an excuse to just post it)
