I do not own YYH and am not making any profit from this. I love and fully support the original series and all of its creators

[BigTUnit1]

everyone did a great job I wish I could have sounded a little more like Chuck, but that's just me being nitpicky. Thumbs up, Refi-chan^_^

[BlueShadow]

Good job everyone. Sounded great. Btw those are some interesting facts. Also, refresh my memory, was the english dub any good, I remember watching the dub all the time, but that was back when I wasn't a critic ^^ ;;

[Kage-Ichihashi]

Personally, I don't think Funimation can go wrong.

Anyways, as I said on YT, this was brilliant! Kudos to everyone! It provided me with much entertainment.

I remember listening to the audio commentary, and I felt sooo bad for John. Everyone else is like "I wanted to be..." And he was kind of just...there... He seems like such a shy person in that commentary especially, rarely speaking and everything. XD

So yes... I highly enjoyed this!

[GameBuddy]

I personally think Funi is one of the best in the biz. Even back then, their YYH dub was excellent.

This was hilariously fun and everybody did a great job. I never thought anyone could imitate Hubert so well. XD

[BigTUnit1]

Hearing your voice Gamebuddy, I hear more of a Sonny Strait quality over a Sabat, and i always thought I sounded more like John.XD

[Refi-chan]

Thank you everyone for letting me know you enjoyed it ^o^ (I've been having a hard time lately and this helps me forget the bad stuff happening) May I just share a few of my favorite moments of this??? lol

My absolute favorite line is in the first clip where Hiei says in a Kuwabara voice, "(Let's avoid fightning) you're not worth it!"

In the second clip how at the end Kuwabara is grumbling, I love how he's all "I'll get you and cut you..." sure brilliance on the improvised words Phantasm!
And BigTUnit1, your diabolical laugh cracks me up! I know Chuck Huber is a good guy, but his voice is naturally so evil-sounding! And I loved your Shou Tucker line after you pointed it out even though it was kind of out of place here ^^
Wow Lanipator doing a convincing Cook and Sabat. I loved both takes of Kurama's laugh being all "Hm-hm" like he's all that ^o^
Good choice on the drawn from Sabat Roles, GameBuddy!
Yusuke --> Zoro from One Peice
Kuwabara --> himself
Kurama --> Zarbon from DBZ
Hiei --> Vegeta from DBZ
You convinced me Sabat could have pulled off the series by himself...but then we would never have heard of the other VAs, so that was nice of him to give the others a chance.

Blue Shadow, The real FUNi dub of this did turn out well, the personalities in the voices really clicked with the personalities of the characters. And where when they weren't saying word for word what they did in the English, it was translated so our Eng culture could associate with. The sad thing is I don't think this anime was as big as DBZ even though FUNi did a great job on this
Kage-san, Glad to finally appease your waiting ^_^ And glad the wait was worth it. I will be holding auditions for YYH Beyond! in the next few months, but first I want to hold auds for Hiei in RainbowLand ^_^ I'll probably get those up this week *fingers crossed*

You're about the 5th person on this board to compare me to good ol' Sonny. I take it with great pride.
