Although it was released around 30 years ago, the adaptation is still one of the best known animated shows and continues to have a cult following. So is it finally time for Yoshihiro Togashi's work to return to the small screen? Toonami co-creator Jason DeMarco may have confirmed that Yu Yu Hakusho could soon join the programming block's line-up of shows!
Jason DeMarco is the co-creator of Toonami so he should know a lot about what happens in the programming block. This is why a fan reached out to DeMarco in hopes that Yu Yu Hakusho will be brought back to join the program's line-up. Interestingly, the SVP of Action and Anime at WarnerMedia confirmed that it's a huge possibility!
This is exciting news considering that Yu Yu Hakusho is set for a live-action adaptation on Netflix. With that in mind, it's the perfect time for an Underworld Detective revival and we're hoping Toonami adds the anime to its line-up soon. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
