The OVA was made during the middle of the manga's run (OVA: 1992-3, manga: 1990-1996). I haven't read the manga, but I suspect it hadn't reached the point of Hakumen no Mono when the OVA was being made.

The OVA only covers the first 5 volumes of the manga and 1 original story.
It's worth checking it out.

Second episode was great, love Tora's curiosity about the human world, that trope always gets me

Ah OK thanks for clearing it up, will watch it after I finish reading the manga.
For now time to watch Ep. 2~
Glad to see a proper OT for this, Ushio and Tora is so godd it shits on a lot of its shonen competition.
Plus, it gets really violent after a while iirc
Do we know if they plan to cover all the story in 39 episodes?
Also, Opening is hype as fuck.
And last, couple of YT anime that made me lol:

Wait... The director for Ippo is working on this, like S1 Ippo? Wow, I thought he fell off the face of the earth. Haven't watched the OVAs but it certainly captures the artwork of the manga A LOT better than this new tv adaptation but it has yet to really insult the feeling of the source material. First two episodes were enjoyable but that whack 90s Shounen moment in the second episode when Tora suddenly wants to help Ushio without any real development prior to the fighting. Entertaining enough, I doubt I'll even read up on the manga though, I will put myself in the position of the HxH fans I used to hate on with this.
Iirc, yes. Fujita himself is choosing what to adapt and what to cut, because he really wants to see the last fight animated xD

This show is great so far. Really loving Ushio and Tora's interactions.
Episode was good. Love Ushio and Tora's relationship, very funny.
Wish the action scenes had a little more oomph, and a little more actual animation, but I'm not really surprised on that front. Glad this show is gonna be sticking around for a while (though not as it actually needs to tell the full story). Hope it keeps going strong.

It may have needed some more depth but you get the idea from what was shown.
Overall this episode's pace was good and I was glad they coevered it all in one ep.

Ushio and Tora 04
Tora is so great. If they actually turn him into a good guy by feeding him burgers and the only reason he was so evil was because he was hungry I will laugh so hard

Tora was always my favorite character, he's just so great.
Well that's to be expected considering the number of episodes they have. They've still done well to cover all the major points and get the themes of the episode across.

Just caught up, and I'm enjoying this series a lot so far. I'm glad to see that the manga-ka is involved, choosing which stories to adapt. I'm not a fan of the decision to update the setting to modern times and thus bring cellphones into the mix, especially since that just means they have to come up with dumb excuses for why the characters can't get in contact using them, though.

Wow, that single first episode I watched was way better than all of DB Super, indeed.
I've been looking to enjoy anime again after like a decade long hiatus, but feel they just all suck these days.. I'm going follow this one though. Fun stuff.

Ushio and Tora slowly progressing, their S-link has to be at at least level 2 now. Thanks hamburgers!

No problem.
It's been happening a lot recently, actually. We have -
Ushio and Tora
Parasyte
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (80s but whatever)
Sailor Moon Crystal, which is terrible but still counts
Dragon Ball Super (also 80s)
Hunter x Hunter 2011
Not counting reboots like Gatchaman Crowds or Yatterman of the Night. Guess there's a market for it, or some crazy dude is funding all this shit. Anyway it's been enjoyable and kind of hit and miss quality and success wise but I'm glad it's happening.
They all look pretty damn good too, Sailor Moon and certain JoJo episodes aside.

Fujita's following work, Karakuri Circus, would also be a great 90s property to animate. I'd say it has higher highs than Ushio to Tora (overall not as good though).

Watched all the available episodes. Good stuff.
Tora is clearly the star of the show.

Episode 4 - That proper typical Shounen nonsense "Oh no, I can't eat this human because of this, that, etc." It's like I'm in 2005 and watching Bleach again.
Episode 5 - This was MUCH better, that exorcist dude going full worldstar and beasting on the both of them.

To be fair this is based on a manga from 1990, so they stuck with it.
Did lead to some hilarious scenes though
Yeah Hyou's a badass, I forgot what happens after this encounter exactly but I think they'll move on ahead with the main plot at this point.

It doesn't really destroy the show for me, it's just a little bit stale but tbh I should have expected it. Episode 6 was rather generic but the same time I honestly enjoyed it, it still maintained some of that nostalgic Shounen charm seems you're right though the story is gonna begin for real with this next episode.

Really good episode. Glad this seems to be progressing into a first arc of sorts.

Hyped by secret organization of antagonist exorcists, including evil counterparts to Ushio. Does this mean we won't be seeing the school friends for a while?

Wonderful job from Nishimura & Fujise. They stroke a perfect balance between a more serious atmosphere and our weekly quota of hilarious faces.
Damn I love Fujita's tendancy, in his mangas, to start with typical shounen tropes and then morph into an epic with intertwined backstories everywhere.
Ushio to tora going full Kujaku-oh; you can't go more 90s anime than that.

New show is great, but missing that critical bit of greatness from the old OVA that was Hyou's VA being my first introduction to The Good News that is Norio Wakamoto---compounded by the fact that I just so happened to then watch LoGH...

Just watched episode 7
As expected the dad was hiding many things form his son.
And the dynamic between ushio and tora is very strong ... loving this anime.

This show is making me wish I hadn't watched the old OVA DVDs before seeing this. So far, I feel like the show is less dark and not as violent as it used to be. But it's still good.

Ushio and Tora 08
Pretty entertaining episode, I am liking seeing Ushio and Tora's teamwork slowly and slowly develop, like how Ushio passively-aggressively told Tora to lift the airplane.
