Spirit Gun!!

I have concluded that some thing I can be passionate about. I get emotional about characters in movie, books, and anime. So on and so forth. I make connections easily with characters. On many occasions, the creator tends to kill off my favorite character. Does that mean something? So I tend to be stuck in the middle of a series with my favorite character dead. Happens a lot. One of the recent animes that I got into, well it goes back a long time, is Yu-Yu Hakusho. It used to play on Cartoon Network during the Toonami slot. Never got too far, maybe into 25 episodes they showed, but it kept my attention.If you get a chance, check it out.

Human teen boy, dies, comes back to live and gets "spirit powers" and becomes a detective for the "spirit world" in the process. That's just in the first few episodes. This anime, and manga if you prefer, follows the main character Yusuke Urameshi thru 112 episodes of saving the earth, managing the "spirit" "human" and "demon" worlds. This is a good anime. Lots of fighting, that's all Yusuke knows how to do, talk and fight. With his human friends and demon compainions, managers to save the world and learn about life and each other. I recomend this to anyone who likes anime, looking for something to watch, or just getting into anime. I will warn you, the first 4 eposodes are a little slow. Here is the wikipedia definition if you want it.

Yusuke Urameshi is a street-brawling delinquent with a tough guy approach to everything (with gorgeous hair). Yusuke's mother Atsuko, an alcoholic, had him at the age of 14 and took a backseat in raising her son. He has a reserved seat in the guidance counselor's office, and numerous other delinquents in the city are constantly trying to take him on. Yusuke is pretty fed up with his life. However, no one expects a sudden act of heroism on his part: he dies trying to save a little boy from a speeding car.

When he arrives in the afterlife, he is informed that the child would have miraculously survived, and had it not been for him the child would have one less scratch on his right arm. His act of heroism, therefore, was "completely pointless". Yusuke's premature death was unexpected and unnecessary, and the afterlife was not prepared for his arrival.

After numerous tests to gauge his worth, Yusuke is eventually revived, and is assigned to work for the Spirit World as a detective investigating demon cases in the human world. He comes into spiritual abilities of his own, and enlists the help of numerous friends from Reikai (spirit world), Makai (demon world, translated in the English manga as the Demon Plane) and Ningenkai (Human World) to aid him in his cases as they fight off demons and humans seeking to rule over all three worlds.
