Like I said, it's Yu Yu Hakusho not Ghost Fighter!

Before Funimation (now Crunchyroll) acquired the anime series in the early 2000s, Media Blasters' Anime Works label released both versions of Yu Yu Hakusho: The Movie on VHS in 1998. The one with the original Japanese version with English subtitles, the other with the English dub done in Arleta, Los Angeles. Also, the first film was 30 minutes short. In my country, the series was called Ghost Fighter for its Filipino dub & name changes. It's a good thing I couldn't find a Filipino dub of the first film titled "Ghost Fighter: The Next Mission", because the whole thing is lost media nowadays.

It's Throwback Thursday!

Back in 1996, Filipino kids watched Ghost Fighter every Wednesday night at 6:30 pm on IBC 13 where it still ran until September 15, 1998. In the US however, the show is still called YuYu Hakusho & it only released 2 movies on VHS either English dubbed or subtitled as of between September 15, 1998 Wednesday at 4 am Pacific & August 21, 1999 Saturday at 5 pm Pacific. I've watched the English dubbed of YuYu Hakusho on Animax back in 2007 on TV when I was in Quezon City, Philippines & I enjoyed it really. It's even better than Ghost Fighter because it's still YuYu Hakusho.

It's YuYu Hakusho, not Ghost Fighter!

When I was 4 years old, I watch Ghost Fighter every weeknight at 7 pm on GMA 7 since March 1, 1999. Between that date & August 6 of that year, all the episodes are dubbed in Tagalog right before Lupin the 3rd stole its' thunder on the Monday, Wednesday & Friday slot while Flame of Recca is on the Tuesday & Thursday slot as of August 22, Sunday of that year. I don't like that I watched that show briefly on IBC 13 when I was 3 years old, it was also dubbed in Tagalog. I should rather watch the English dub of YuYu Hakusho on the internet than watching on GMA 7 as Ghost Fighter, it's a total mess for me.
