I thought it was gonna take awhile for an anime movie to come up to the same bar that "Your Name" set and I gotta say this was the one to do it. A myriad of emotions have flown through me in the 2 hours of watching this movie and it felt like an experience. Not many films at all get me to say that but Suzume certainly accomplished that. I truly enjoyed taking it all in and I could very well watch an encore of this movie pretty soon.

Netflix has been on a roll with the anime adaptations. Not as superior as One Piece but also far from the trainwreck that is Cowboy Bebop, Yu Yu Hakusho is very faithful to the source material and the actors bring the characters to life very well. My one main critique about the show is the pacing, it's way too fast and 5 episodes just doesn't seem like enough to capture the frame of the anime that spans 100+ Episodes. I'm pretty certain this wasn't gonna go past the Dark Tournament arc but for something as deep as Yu Yu Hakusho, the series should've been 10 episodes deep or at least 8 minimum. Even the Cowboy Bebop live adaptation was 10 episodes long and I couldn't bear to get past half of it. Griping aside, this show was beautifully done and made me want more of it.
