First Battles contains the first 14 episodes of the popular anime series Yu Yu Hakusho. The series aired on cartoon network every weekday during the "toonami" block until it was later moved to early mornings. The series revolved around the life of Yusuke Urameshi, a street punk who is feared by most around him, and the relationships he develops as spirit detective of earth. The first 6 episodes are a little slow, but crucial to watch in order to understand the relationships between Yusuke, Kaiko, and Kuwabara. The latter two characters are closest to Yusuke and in order to truly enjoy the story, one must understand how these relationships evolve. However, this is by no means the only complex relationships throughout the series. In addition, we begin to learn that some humans possess "spirit energy" which can be used as a weapon against the demon world. This of course, is later developed in the show. For those of you out there that love only action in anime, don't be turned off just yet. Even though the series starts off slow, there is plenty of action. Episodes 8-14 are a huge jump from the first few episodes with the introduction of the first of many tournaments in the series. In an action sense, this really begins to move the anime forwards. In terms of price, this DVD is the cheapest of the 5 currently available and is a great bargain for 14 episodes. One can find the DVD for around $9. In conclusion, the first 14 episodes are a nice start to a great series and I encourage all anime fans who have not seen Yu Yu Hakusho to start with this DVD. I promise that after the first 14 episodes you will be craving for more Yu Yu Hakusho.Read full review
Not a huge fan of Anime. Other then Inuyasha this is the only anime i will watch. It has great humor in it. I love the English voice cast of this show. They really make the characters come to life.

Yu Yu Hakusho, is about a boy who dies and comes back to life becomming a spirt detective. It's his job to look for demons on earth and capture them. It is a very funny anime, and has great battle scean. I'm not talking about like in DBZ but still very good. The first 14 episodes set up the action, there not has exciting has the other episodes but just has necessary to build up the background. I use to love watching this show when I was little. Buy this dvd and you guys won't regret it. ;)
I bought this after seeing various trailers for it from my Dragonball Z DVDs. It looked quite interesting. I waited until they re-released it in this more economical form, (i.e. having 14 epsiodes in one set as opposed to 3-4 episode volumes). From the word go I was intrigued by the whole thing. A very interesting anime thus far. I must get the next volume 'Second Wind' to find out the cliffhanger from the end of episode 14 on this set! The anime has some fairly funny moments in and some great action scenes. Plus there are different relationships between the main characters that evolve quickly and keep the viewer interested. I will certainly be buying the rest of this series in time.
Whether or not you got to watch it on Wednesdays on Toonami back in the day, this series is recommended for any anime fan. Exciting story, loveable and cool characters, so-so voice acting. and corny jokes are all you need from this series. Not without the inspirational and well-done battle scenes.
