"In Yu Yu Hakusho: Second Wind, you will get 14 terrific episodes of the excellent show. Specifically, this set includes episodes 15 to 28. If you haven't seen the first fourteen episodes of this show, don't read on or you won't understand my review.

Yusuke Urameshi recieves his third big case as Spirit Detective of Earth, stop four deadly beasts and an insect invasion they've sent before the entire population of Earth falls under their control. Yusuke won't go in alone however, he's got his friend Kuwabara, as well as Kurama and Hiei to help.

The fights with the saint beasts are interesting, though Yusuke and Kuwabara have the best ones. When three of the legendary beasts have been defeated, it seems like a sure victory, but Suzaku, their leader is no push over and he's sent all those infected by his insects to kill Kayko. Can Yusuke defeat the most powerful saint beast in time to save her? If he can, will he have to give his life in the process?

Next, Yusuke meets his next case, an ice appirition named Yukina. A greedy human has kidnapped her and hired an extraordinarily powerful pair of demons to guard her - The Toguro Brothers! As Yusuke and Kuwabara attempt to rescue her, Hiei seeks revenge, but why?

Finally, our heros are plunged into a tournament full of demons known as the Dark Tournament. They must compete and win or face certain death. This officialy starts the Dark Tournament Saga, the longest in Yu Yu Hakusho.

Overall, 14 great episodes of a great show for a great price. What's not to like? If you like anime, check out Yu Yu Hakusho."

My Favorite Series Continues Through The Next Fourteen Episo

"This is the next part of the series, once again with fourteen episodes! Joined with his new crew, the recently recruited Spirit Detective Yusuke Urameshi travels through Maze Castle, fighting the Saint Beast, and then must rescue and ice apparition with the help of his best friend, Kuwabara, dealing with a strange human and demon alliance. The Dark Tournament is also introduced on this DVD, meaning the introduction of my favorite villain of the series, TOGURO! The Dark Tournament is the longest story of the series, so be prepared for a lot of new fights and new twists, and this part is better than the first saga. As the tournament continues, you begin to grow attached to it, and begin to realize the true glory of Yu Yu Hakusho, as it gets closer and closer to its peak. Overall, this is another excellent DVD, better than the first one in my opinion. So, if your collecting the new DVDs, don't forget this one!"

Smaller package, fewer frills

"While it is nicer having only two discs in lieu of 5, it didn't come without sacrifices: Most of the extras I enjoyed on my 3-episode discs, such as the helpful kanji explanations, didn't carry over to this one while it seems the trailers multiplied. Also, there is some problem with the subtitles as captioning for the hearing impaired is not an option so if you're hard of hearing, you can only really watch the Japanese version.
All in all, if you have not been collecting them and want to catch up, this is an excellent buy. However, I would not sell all of your old DVD's in order to make room for this one. Think of it as your travel and/or sharing version."
