Maaaaan watching this as a kid/young teen, Kurama definitely made me realize a few things about myself. Bro is GORGEOUS.

#SundayRundown #YuYuHakusho This is one of the earliest times, in my anime-watching life, that I got pissed at anime-time. It still annoys me to this day. Like, if you establish that you have SECONDS to act before death, then stick to that! If you need dialogue to happen between characters that escalates tension, then don't establish that you only have seconds to act! Often, when this happens in manga, it makes way more sense, because, with the still images, you can imagine that things are, indeed, happening instantaneously, and you're just seeing people's thoughts as they happen. In anime, however, things have to take place in an orderly fashion. "First I think this...then I say this...then I get your response..." I love that anime is often as close to 1-to-1 as an adaptation can get, but when it comes to immense amounts of dialogue taking place between "seconds", that's something I wish anime would've taken more liberty with more often. 😛

That's totally a valid criticism, but I will point out that "anime time" isn't just limited to anime. Look at like any movie in the past 50 years where there's a bomb on a timer. 15-30 minutes of movie time happens while the bomb set to go off in 30 seconds is still ticking away. I think it's just a media thing, though anime is the most egregious about it.

Fo real Genbu remind me of a pokemon. I wonder what Togashi was playing back then to inspire that design, since Pokemon was not around back when he started Yuyu Hakusho.

Kurama on this episode reminds me of Tuxedo mask from Sailor Moon.

I think Suraj's understanding of pretty boys and their gender is pretty understandable. Kurapika is very strongly designed to have a gender neutral appearance, where he could either be an effeminate man or a slightly butch woman. In the manga and 2011 anime. The 90s anime treats Kurapika *very* weirdly 'cause the director was very clearly a straight guy who was attracted to Kurapika. I'm not kidding, the dude has literally said that he views Kurapika as a woman even though he is literally a man. Kurama meanwhile is a more classic 80s rockstar style pretty boy. Clearly a man but one who is garbed in more effeminate dress and styling. I think the main thing is how he carries himself, even if his dress and color scheme is more feminine he's always drawn in a more typically masculine way; i.e. how he holds himself, how he moves, etc. So if you're operating from a baseline view of gender presentation, where men and women each do particular things, it's easy to gender him correctly, compared to Kurapika.

I say baseline because gender and gender presentation can of course be way more varied than is expected by society at large, but we're talking mainstream anime written by straight cis men here, so they're not gonna go too particularly crazy. (I would bet money that Hirohiko Araki is some kinda queer, however that shakes out with Japan's approach to queerness, because he clearly gets queer look and presentation in a way I just don't see a cis straight guy getting. Like, as a comparison point I would bring up Tite Kubo, who we know is a straight cis guy, who draws a number of effeminate and pretty men, but in a way that is entirely distinct from the way Araki grew into drawing.)
