Are you planning on giving the live action Yu Yu Hakusho a watch? I don't think it looks very interesting, but I do feel obligated to know how it turns out.

im sort of hostile to this crop of live action anime adaptations as a baseline but because it's Yu Yu Hakusho I do have a bit of morbid curiosity. I don't believe in it fundamentally but I'm always willing/hoping to be surprised.

By the way if anyone reading this has been listening to Media Club Plus and watching Hunter x Hunter, ESPECIALLY if you're watching for the first time and having a hard time slowing down to the pace of the show, I recommend checking out the first 3 episodes of the Yu Yu Hakusho anime. Just try 3 eps. If it doesn't click, no harm done

Regarding the recent Media Club Plus bonus episode: My anime history bona fides are spotty at best, but since it has largely been overlooked in the west outside of being the venue of weird tape copying weirdos in the 90s, I just wanted to mention Ranma 1/2s implementation of the trope. It's kind of split in two -- Ranma's dad, Genma, who is only barely lecherous in comparison but does so mostly via Ranma because he's trying to get him married, is mostly just a scared-of-his-wife-guy. And then there's the actual lecherous master, Happosai, who trained Genma, who is honestly the horniest implementation of this, and is also almost always portrayed as an actual villain every time he appears.

I don't have a real thesis with this, but hearing y'all talk about HxH in conversation with Dragon Ball got me thinking about how Ranma 1/2 ran almost concurrently with the original Dragon Ball. The works have completely different goals, and while I could never vouch for Ranma in the modern era for ... infinite reasons, it, and more directly its fandom in that nascent era of the internet, are still a fond memory.

Actually I almost brought up Ranma 1/2 during the recording but figured it would take too long to get into and maybe wasnt worth it since i knew it was going to be a long recording. good to have it here on the cohost anyway. definitely a contemporary of Dragon Ball in terms of weird horny old martial arts guys

anyway i watched 40 episodes or something of Ranma on Hulu a few years ago when i was bedridden with strep throat for a few weeks. it's total madness. it's not very good but it is fascinating.
