"THE" Anime

It's THE anime that started it all. Yu Yu Hakusho I mean. I first watched a movie on Yu Yu Hakusho, the one with the five gates, being shown in ABS-CBN. And after watching it, my passion for anime started.

Well, GMA 7 started the series weeks after the movie in ABS-CBN. And since then, I've watched every single episode of Yu Yu Hakusho (Ghost Fighter in GMA). Back then, I've known the characters as Eugene, Alfred, Dennis, Vincent, Jeanny, Susie, Sharlene, Mikaela, Jericho, and Master Jeremiah. I was a high school student, but I've always imagined myself living in their world. That was my fantasy, my "fairy tale". And I never got over it. My passion continues with other anime like Weiss Kreuz (Knight Hunters), Fushigi Yuugi, The Slayers, Naruto, etc. etc. etc. Well, up until now, I still love watching these anime, and I still fantasize being in their shoes. I even have my own created anime charater in some of these series.

Anyway, no matter how many anime launches, Yu Yu Hakusho is my all time favorite. And because of that, I bought a DVD of complete episodes. I watched it day and night, whenever I have the time. And even though I've seen the series a lot of times, I still got the chills in most of the episodes, like watching them for the very first time. I love the anime.

So why am I telling it right now? That's because just this morning, I've finished watching the last episode of the entire Yu Yu Hakusho (yes, I've watched all 112 episodes). Funny, even though I knew the ending, I still had the chills and excitement. Finally, I still had the feeling of contentment after finishing the series. And I know from the bottom of my heart, I will never got bored of watching it over and over again. To Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Heie, Keiko, Shizuro, Yukina, Buton, Koenma, and Master Genkai, my support and love of anime will always be for you.
