I finished the Yu Yu Hakusho anime and started to binge the live-action a day later. What surprised me the most was the complete disregard of 60% of the content from the anime/manga. I understand the budget/production costs would not allow detail orientation despite that they should have ended the show with Toguro not going full strength, getting defeated and then coming back with an invitation to the dark tournament. The Dark Tournament Arc is one of the most notable tournament arcs in the history of Japanese anime/manga because it went on and influenced tournament-based arcs in various anime/manga. To completely disregard an arc as crucial and heartfelt as that was a poor choice. They should have brought the dark tournament arc in season 2 with five episodes again because there are characters introduced in that arc who come later on in the actual source material with a purpose and depth to them. Overall, it was a decent adaptation as it showed high potential but they chose to ignore an extraordinary chance of story telling; I would not be surprised if casual watchers enjoyed it more.
