The Eizou Hakusho volumes mostly consist of “best scene” video montages culled from the TV series, music videos, and voice actor interviews. The content and circumstances of the Eizou Hakusho OVAs closely mirrors the Mobile Suit Gundam W: Operation Meteor OVAs, which have likewise never been officially released in America. These releases were later followed by the 21 minute long Yu Yu Hakusho Opening Ending Daihyakka (Poltergeist Report Opening Ending Encyclopedia) which, as far as I know, didn’t exist until its DVD debut on Decemas part of the Yu Yu Hakusho Favorite Edition boxed set that compiled the Eizou Hakusho OVAs onto two DVDs. And Yu Yu Hakusho: Eizou Hakusho 2 ~Kuwabara no Sho~ hit VHS on February 7, 1996. Yu Yu Hakusho: Eizou Hakusho 2 ~Hiei no Sho~ released on VHS on January 19, 1996. Yu Yu Hakusho: Eizou Hakusho 2 ~Kurama no Sho~ premiered on VHS on January 1, 1996. Yu Yu Hakusho: Eizou Hakusho 2 ~Yusuke no Sho~ hit Japanese VHS on December 16, 1995. The second Eizou Hakusho series consisted of four 25 minute volumes, each concentrating on one of the series’ main characters.
For reference, the Yu Yu Hakusho: Eizou Hakusho ~Ankoku Bujutsukai no Shou~ (Poltergeist Report: Image Report ~Dark Martial Arts Tournament Chapter~) volumes one and two were 25 minutes each and premiered on Japanese VHS on September 21 and October 5, 1994. While American fans did get the complete 112 episode Yu Yu Hakusho television series and both of its theatrical films, the follow-up OVAs have never been officially released in America. Why haven’t they been licensed and released in America, and do you think they ever will be? Yet, for some reason, the OVAs for YYH have never come out. Yu Yu Hakusho was a big hit in America, doing well on Cartoon Network and selling a ton of DVDs and merchandise.
