Like the original anime series, the live-action version of Yu Yu Hakusho may continue to be underrated. Unlike “One Piece,” the adaptation benefited from less prominent, more discreet advertising. Not to mention, while the source material is a classic, it's less well-known than the pirates introduced by Eiichiro Oda.
