Hurray to the Funmation dub.

For retaining the Japanese culture in it. (Unlike 4kid's Yu-Gi-Oh!) I actually see Japanese script on things and Koenma eating Japanese food.

For giving the cast such nice sounding voices--except for Kuwabara, his hoarse tones make my ears bleed and the first time I watched it, it was an episode where he did most of the talking and I was turned off. I decided to give it a second chance and began focusing mainly on his funny expressions and love of Yukina; its is the only way I can bear him.

My favorite voice is the battle hardened Hiei while my favorite character overall is Koenma the "Toddler". The dialog between the latter and his faithful ogre assistant is hysterical.

I would be remiss If I didn't mention loving the edgy Hiei/Kuwabara LOL "friendship".

Not cutting out so many parts that it looses it's mid-teenage base. (Look at 4kids Yu-Gi-oh you'll see what I mean).

For all the above mentioned reasons this show has become my favorite anime after Azumanga Daioh.

score 8/10
