Casts

The anime series is known for its humor, action, and complex characters. It was a huge success in Japan, and has also been popular with audiences around the world. A tagalog dub version of the anime was aired in the Philippines in the 90’s on IBC 13 and GMA 7.

Netflix announced the Japanese live-action series adaptation of Yu Yu Hakusho December 16, 2020, then on July 15, 2022, it was announced that Shō Tsukikawa would serve as the series director, with Tatsurō Mishima handling the script and Ryō Sakaguchi serving as the VFX supervisor, as well as the casting.

Fans of the original manga and anime series are eagerly awaiting the live-action adaptation, specially with the success of the live action One Piece. They are hoping that Netflix will be able to do the series justice, and create a show that is both entertaining and faithful to the source material.

I am also excited for the release of the live-action Yu Yu Hakusho series. I have been a fan of the manga and anime series for many years, and I am curious to see how Netflix adapts it for live-action. I am also hopeful that the series will help to introduce Yu Yu Hakusho to a new audience.

Disney+ and Hulu Subscription Price to Increase this October

Disney has announced that it will be increasing the prices of its streaming services, Disney+ and Hulu, in October. The ad-free version of Disney+ will increase from $10.99 to $13.99 per month, while the ad-supported version will remain at $7.99 per month.

The price increase is effective for new subscribers starting on October 12, 2023, and for existing subscribers starting on November 1 2023.

Disney has cited rising content costs as the reason for the price increase. The company has been investing heavily in new content for its streaming services, including original series and movies, as well as live sports. The price increase is likely to be met with some resistance from subscribers, but it is not unexpected. Streaming services have been raising prices in recent years, as they compete for subscribers and content.

“The strong momentum of our ad-supported plans in the U.S. demonstrates the importance of providing consumers with choice, flexibility and value,” said Joe Earley, President, Direct-to-Consumer, Disney Entertainment. “We are excited to expand that offering in more markets across the globe, including in Europe and Canada, and to launch a new premium duo bundle of ad-free Disney+ and Hulu this Fall, as we take steps toward making extensive Hulu content available via Disney+ later this year for Bundle subscribers.”

It’s official – Tito, Vic and Joey (TVJ) with Dabarkads are moving to TV5

It’s official – Tito, Vic and Joey (TVJ) with Dabarkads are moving to TV5

After almost a week, Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, Joey de Leon (TVJ) and the former hosts of Eat Bulaga signed a new agreement with MediaQuest Group to move to TV5.

This is what MediaQuest CEO Jane Basas said in their official press statement;

I’m honored that these pillars of the Philippine entertainment industry have agreed to work with us. Our partnership strengthens our ability to continue to deliver the best for Filipino viewers here at home and all over the world. I’m happy that Tito, Vic, and Joey will now call TV5 their home.

Dabarkads – Maine Mendoza, Pauleen Luna and Ryan Agoncillo confirmed the new deal by posting on their personal social media account a 20 seconds clip showing the letter “J” of TVJ transforming to the number “5”.

The deal may already be in the works, since Joey Deleon previous said that “We’re not signing off … we are just taking a day off!” at that time the trio announced that they are leaving TAPE and the rest of the staff, crew and hosts also sent their resignation to TAPE the next day.

The new show is scheduled to air on TV5 in July and it’s unclear what will be the title of new show, since rights to the name “EAT BULAGA” is still being being disputed by TVJ and TAPE. Considering the the large following of Tito, Vic and Joey, including the Dabarkads (Eat Bulaga’s mainstays); Paolo Ballesteros, Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, Maine Mendoza, Pauleen Luna and Ryan Agoncillo, they can just name of the show anything they want and people will still watch them in droves.
