animal kingdom season 5 episode 4 stamped from the beginning
He praised the excellent characterization of the core duo of Yusuke and Kuwabara, but found Mishima's scripting falters when it comes to the supporting characters due to the pacing required of a five-episode series. [16] Daniel Dockery of Polygon also found the Netflix adaptation to effectively capture the wild tonal shifts and the characters that has made the franchise adored for the last 33 years, but said its length does a disservice to some crucial moments. He called Yu Yu Hakusho one of the few series of its kind to "actually kinda make you feel bad for how fist-pumpingly cool the battles are", as it darts from a spirited contest between warriors into the psychological ramifications of pursuing such battles. [17] Ash Parrish of The Verge praised the performances of Kitamura and Uesugi, as well as the "authentic" and well-choreographed action sequences. A fan of the YuYu Hakusho anime adaptation, Parrish understood why Netflix chose the plot points that they did, but found the condensing of the story into five hour-long episodes left "characters that are formless, uninteresting seat-fillers" in high school production-quality costumes. [18] In a critical review, Tokyo Weekender's Cezary Jan Strusiewicz found the show "very dark. Not just tonally like the manga and anime, but also color-wise". Labeling original creator Yoshihiro Togashi a master of weaving together serious plot and tear-jerking character moments with wacky cartoon humor, Strusiewicz felt Netflix doubled-down on the darkness and drama, but "when you pair that with a character shooting demons with his magical finger gun, the effect is comical in all the wrong ways. " Although he called the show "disappointing", Strusiewicz wrote that one must give credit to the "phenomenal" action scenes. [19] Viewership[edit] Netflix announced that YuYu Hakusho was number one on its list of non-English-language rankings in its first week of release, with 7. 7 million total views and 32.
