An excellent show. I like to think of it as DBZ with far superior characters and story.

Also the dub was possibly the best dub ever created.

My favorite character was Younger Toguro. I know Sensui get s alot of hype but I just liked Toguro more.

Genkai was one of my favorites, just a crazy old woman.

Sure do miss it

I loved it. It was one of my favorites.

It was okay. Didn't like how it tried to mirror DBZ so hard during the last arc.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I need to watch everything after the Dark Tournament

You are better of reading the manga to this, it is so so so much better.

Ehhhhhhhhh no it didn’t, its a shonen and generally towards the end of most shonen power levels tend to be ridiculous. Sure most get inspiration from Dragonball but to say they a mirroring it is wrong since all shonen in the end tend to go the way of extreme power levels.

Actually that isn't true with most shonens. Most shonens actually don't get to planet busting energy levels of fighting power and don't have recorded power levels and power level readers. YYH used all of these points. Between Rurouni Kenshin, Naruto, Yugioh, Death Note, One Piece, etc. which of these shonen do you mean? If you mean Bleach, the creator himself admitted it's heavily influenced by DBZ and even got Akira Toriyama to recommend his manga to SJ when they rejected it for it's similarities to YYH.

Lol I can name tons of Shonen's that have a form of recorded power levels its a concept that is not unique to Dragonball. 666 satan uses it, Naruto uses it, Bleach uses it. Also towards the end of must Shonen's power levels get exxagerated (this is in refrence to your statement about planet busting energy levels) just look at Naruto at present the power levels have been raised to epic heights.

Nobody ever talks about the show after that point lol

Never watched it. So I can't argue, but I do know it came out well after DB and DBZ finished it's run.

Naruto uses it, Bleach uses it.

Neither of these do that. No scouters. No readings. They just specifically go by what they feel around them, but they don't record it in numbers.

Naruto is only at village busting levels, and even now, it's not a feat casually performed, and only few characters can even do it. Even then, it doesn't make those like Deidara considered the strongest ninja, because Naruto is about more than who can blow stuff up the best.
The author of DBZ stated he is heavily inspired by DBZ, and even got it's creator to write him a reccomendation to have his manga published in SJ magazine, but I still would say Bleach, at least, is trying to stay unique to itself.
However, YYH gradually turned into just that type of shonen where planetary destruction became easily doable by most characters, as stated, and directly mirrored DBZ with their power level recordings with numbers during the last tournament arc.

WTF do you read the manga because it sounds like you just watch the anime, anyway I am done with this argument as I can see it becoming an ongoing thing. Ask anyone familiar with Shonen and they will tell you all Shonen go that route in the end.
