Yu Yu Hakusho is a truly excellent anime. Sure, people compare it to the Dragon Ball series, but the story is original and laden with humor, drama and romance.The characters are diverse and interesting, the voice cast is excellent, the animation is fluid and bold and...I can't say it enough...it's terrific!

Yusuke Urameshi is your typical teenage delinquent: cutting class, getting into fistfights and being overall unpleasant are his trademarks. But, that all changes when he gives up his life to save a little boy from being hit by a car. He, in floating spirit form, is greeted by the cheerful "Grim Wreaper," Botan. She takes him to see the great lord Koenma, who looks like a toddler, but is actually over 600 years old. From there, he is appointed spirit detective, one who is assigned to protect all three worlds from evil. Before he knows it, he is swept up into being a spirit detective...and it gets better and more interesting from there.

The characters have many different abilities and classes. For instance, two of my favorite characters are demons. One, Kurama, in an especially handsome human body, and, even though he is one of the weaker ones in his team, he relies on sharp stealth to defeat the enemy...and usually wins. One of the weaker ones? HA! One of the weaker ones indeed! The other, Hiei, looks human, but is, indeed, demon...trust me. But, later in the anime, his dark past is revealed and you see why his is so sharp and distant.

The animation gets better as the series progresses. You can see the anime is more detailed in the final episode compared to the very first episode. Not only that, the plot becomes more and more twisted and intense, leading up to the climactic final saga.

You can't miss Yu Yu Hakusho!

As a kid it aired on an anime channel and it was pretty much the only anime i watched until i grew older, back then I've seen it about 5-6 times all the way from the beginning to the very end.

Just like many other anime, this one is heavily centered around character development as well. As a result what we get are really good, and well detailed characters that make the center of the series. During the 3 seasons there are at least 6-7 characters that have deep stories and personalities to them, so chances are you are going to be attached to at least a couple of them by the end of the show. Other than the heroes going through an emotional journey in which they mature and find their places in their worlds (the plural form is intended) they also develop physically in their power levels, symbolizing this journey.

As for the story line, it's nothing too complicated or excessive, but it is OK. The real deal however are the fight scenes, being an action packed anime, there are tons of cool abilities used by our heroes and the villains they face, and they don't always win their fights either, which makes it much more realistic and exciting. In some instances you might even find yourself rooting for the bad guys, as the line between good and bad is not that clear like in real life.

Overall if you like action based anime with lots of fight scenes then this is a MUST WATCH for you.

Yu Yu Hakusho is one of the greatest anime shows I've ever seen. It's the story of a teenage spirit detective and his friends fighting the worst demons from spirit world. The animation's great, the music fits, it actually has a story, and the voice actors are phenomenal!! It's also has clever dialog, FUNimation really did a great job with this project. This show is fantastic all around!!!

This show really grabs your attention, for instance: (Before I knew about this show) I was in the kitchen finding myself something to eat, my brother was watching Yu Yu Hakusho and I could see the TV from the kitchen. I heard somebody yell "Spirit Gun" and I instantly looked up, forgot I was hungry then sat down and watched it. GREAT ANIME!!!!!

Yu Yu Hakusho is the greatest anime of all time, delivering a masterful combination of storytelling, character development, and unforgettable action. The journey of Yusuke Urameshi from a reckless delinquent to a Spirit Detective is packed with emotional depth, moral complexity, and thrilling battles. Its arcs, such as the Dark Tournament and Chapter Black, explore themes of humanity, justice, and redemption in ways that resonate deeply. The character dynamics, especially the bonds between Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama, are unparalleled. Despite influencing many modern shonen series, it remains underrated, often overshadowed by newer titles. Its legacy as a groundbreaking anime deserves far more recognition.

This is one of the top anime series of all times. If you have not seen this anime do not let the age or date fool you. Yu Yu Hakusho is right up to par with the Dragon ball and Dragon ball Z series and in my opinion it is even BETTER. The entire story line and character list / character personalities are amazing and you will NOT regret watching this. Amazing.

Yu Yu Hakusho is the most awsomest show in the whole entire world!!!

It's about 14 year old yusuke urameshi who gets hit by a car while saving a little kid since it was a good deed he is given a test to return to life. He passes the test and becomes the Spirit detective of earth. Meaning he has to protect the world of the living from evil or bad demons who threaten the humans in the living world. He has help though, from his friends kuwabara, kurama and Hiei.

It is divided into 4 saga's and 5 boxsets. The first saga is the Spirit detective saga, the second the dark tournament, the third the sensui saga and the fourth and final saga the three kings saga.

A classic run that probably inspired many other mangakas or anime creators, especially Bleach and Naruto. Some characters' designs, personalities and writings almost resemble characters from Naruto. Meanwhile, the storyline heavily reminded me of the bleach. Season 3 of this anime, reminded me of Bleach's season 16 (the lost agent arc) as well as seasons 4&5 (Bount arc). The power of friendship and emotions also reminded me of One Piece and Fairy Tail.

Love the animation style. Great storyline but the progression was a bit boring sometimes. The mood setup was not strong enough for me to keep binge-watching the entire series, unlike HxH. The voice talents were awesome, perfectly matched with their respective characterisation. Apparently, the creator used the same formula as in HxH.

The world-building itself almost reminded me of the Dragon Ballz Franchise, maybe due to the appealing factor of such aesthetics to many people back then. Great opening song that is very memorable (1 opening throughout the whole anime run). The ending songs were bops, totally terrific if you're into classic songs.

Full of actions and adventure. Bit of mystery but great character development.

Season 1 was a slow burner. Season 2 was the peak with many interesting characters and moments. Season 3 slows down a bit and the mood setup became darker and uninteresting at some point but with the introduction of several amazing villains. Season 4 was fine but was a huge letdown as it was extremely rushed and cut short. Overall a good watch, not ideal for binge watch at least to me. Recommended.

Yu Yu Hakusho: a total disappointment.

Yu Yu Hakusho is a 1992 shonen anime based on the manga of the same name by Yoshihiro Togashi. The series tells the adventures of Yusuke Urameshi, a delinquent who dies saving a child from a car. For this gesture he is resurrected as a detective of the spiritual world and must face various challenges to become a true spirit.

The anime left me a little perplexed, but also many. Here because:

The characters are flat and uninteresting.

Yusuke is a generic hero, with no particular characteristics or motivations. The other characters are poorly developed and don't leave their mark.

The plot is predictable and banal, nowadays there are hundreds of anime made much better.

The fights are well animated, but the story is always the same. The humor is forced and childish. Many jokes are based on bad gags.

Overall, Yu Yu Hakusho is an anime that didn't convince me.

This is a great series. Not because of superior animation or music. Not because of innovative plots or creative story-telling. Its just fun to watch.

The series grabs hold of you with the first line of the first episode, which goes something like this: "This is our hero, Yusuke Urameshi. And surprisingly enough, he's dead." I mean, if the main character dying in the first episode doesn't pique your interest, what will? After that, the story is one we've seen often enough: guys with super powers fighting evil. Basic, but with good execution it can be quite effective.

I think the main strength of this show is in the characters. Yusuke is the jerk with the heart of gold. He'll do the right thing, but he'll always have a smart-alec remark to rub your wounds with salt. He has most of the best fights, and his scenes with his girlfriend are classic, and usually end with him getting slapped. Hiei and Kurama are just cool, if you'll simply look past Kurama's unfortunate fashion sense (the pink jump suit just doesn't work for me). Kuwabara's probably the best. He's so arrogant, and yet he loses nearly every fight he's in. It's great just to watch him get the crap beaten out of him after his long descriptions of how he's going to win the fight.

The only negatives for this show are some annoying habits they have. They usually pull the old, "There are four of us and one of him, but we're not going to all fight at once and overwhelm him, we'll just sit back while one of us (namely Kuwabara) gets pummeled. We could simply shoot the guy with a finger, but let's let him tire himself out kicking Kuwabara's face in instead." It makes for good comic relief, but gets kind of old when the fights stretch out unnecessarily long. Let's not turn this into DBZ here.

This anime is the #1 greatest anime of all time. HANDS DOWN. A must watch.

Am a Prolific Reviewer here but did not really have a lot of experience with anime.

So with the help of a few friends I collected a number of series and started to binge-watch.

My favorite series (so far) remains Steins Gate (which I have watched twice end to end, and keep finding new things to notice each viewing) but this amazing series from a quarter-century ago really hooked me.

The story is awesome. The characters awesome. Even the English voice track is awesome. Based on the premise, I did not expect to be so entranced.

Just finished the first season. The "romance" between the main villain who never ages and the ex-lover from his past he had to kill was an arc I had never seen before, Brilliant.

Highly recommended, especially for other newbies.

This anime is truly the greatest of all time. The characters and their relationships are intense and real, the animation is so fun, the music is killer, and it's a joy to watch! For this, I do recommend the dubbed. Kuwabara's voice actor is too funny and gives him a whole other dimension. Yusuke is a little baddie and his quips are hilarious. Hiei and Kurama are fantastic opponents and friends. I just... really love it and highly recommend it!

I've watched over 80 episodes of this anime after hearing a Youtuber praise it highly, saying that its tournament arc is the best ever. (And I've probably checked IMDB before deciding to watch it.) I was utterly disappointed.

The anime is slow and mediocre. There is nothing special about it compared to other anime available in 2022. And it just isn't that good. It feels very cliche, full of tropes, predictable, etc.

Sure, the anime isn't necessarily bad, and it has good qualities: it has heart, likeable characters, a plot that flows, and has creativity or originality. My goal here is not to give an accurate evaluation of the anime, but to warn everyone that this anime doesn't live up to the hype (it is rated 8,5 on IMDB right now).

I've rated the anime a 6, but it might deserve a 7. Maybe the 8.5 is deserved because the anime was very good for its time, but nonetheless this anime is one you can skip without missing out.

Some series or movies I have rated highly: 'Violet Evergarden', 'Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song ', 'Great Pretender', 'Messiah', 'The OA', 'Sense8', 'Beastars', 'Dark', and the movies 'Interstellar' and 'Arrival'.

This high rating is just for Seasons 1 and 2, which are really fun and amazing. I really enjoyed watching them.

Watch Yu Yu Hakusho followed by Dragonball, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super. If you liked Yu Yu Hakusho, then you will absolutely get obssessed and fall in love with Dragonball, DBZ and DBS.

Summary: One fateful day, Yusuke Urameshi, a 14-year-old delinquent with a dim future, gets a miraculous chance to turn it all around when he throws himself in front of a moving car to save a young boy. His ultimate sacrifice is so out of character that the authorities of the spirit realm are not yet prepared to let him pass on. Koenma, heir to the throne of the spirit realm, offers Yusuke an opportunity to regain his life through completion of a series of tasks. With the guidance of the death god Botan, he is to thwart evil entities on Earth as a Spirit Detective.

As of this date I have watched the first 66 episodes released on Netflix. The first season, consisting of 26 episodes, was fairly simplistic but had likeable characters, competent world building, and logically developed consistent and growing relationships amongst its characters. By itself, the first season would have rated a very average 6 as nothing stood out. The writing and animation was mediocre and the music was passable. At least the story was being built, albeit slowly, especially the relationships amongst the characters. It was watchable if nothing else was available, promising better in the future.

I have no idea what happened to the 40 episodes of season two. The animation quality consistently degraded linearly until the final episode. Watching them back to back, it was barely noticeable. But if you watched episode 27 followed by 66, it was hugely noticeable. Additionally, the story was completely ignored in favour of turning these episodes into 40 nonstop tag team wrestling episodes. Of course, there is a large market for this type of anime, such as Dragonball Z. They jettison plot for wrestling type action. Certainly, these episodes generated several additional series and movies, confirming a financial success. It should be noted that watching these episodes was like seeing UFC match's, with the outcomes being just as predictable. Characters on the left are bad guys and the ones on the right are good... Now, everyone bash each other's heads in. That was 44 episodes of the most lazy writing that I've ever watched. There wasn't even an attempt to enhance the world or story line. Even the relationships that were being evolved between the male and female character were completely ignored and dropped, relegating the girls to wrestling match audience members. That is probably acceptable to the target audience of pre-middle schoolers, aka grade schoolers.

If you believe that the epitome of entertainment is tag team wrestling, with it's built-in story line of good verses evil, then this series is absolutely for you. For those expecting a story... Well, just forget it. No attempt was made.

Funimation is the company well known for the dubbing of the Dragonball series, which was not as good as it was several years ago during the peak of its popularity. However, they soon got hold of another anime to put out on our television screens. Bad, right? Wrong.

YYH is the story of a street kid named Yusuke with unnatural and extreme fighting skills who becomes a Spirit Detective, a special official who battles demons who pose a threat to our Earth, after he surprises his boss for saving a child's life, something not expected because of his brash manner and horrible social life. From there, Yusuke is involved in many cases, ranging from returning artifacts to their rightful place to an Underworld fighting tournament, aided closely by his loyal friends and his girlfriend, who has a good hand on her as well.

The best thing about this series is that the only real edit is the voicing (as far as the uncut version goes). Everything else is the same: the names of the people, about 90% of the dialog, and more importantly the music. It's the closest thing to the original version I've seen in a long time, which is a very good call in my opinion to a well dubbed anime. And the voice actors are phenomenal. Everyone fits their roles perfectly and knows how to execute a joke, verbal and slapstick, so well that I found myself rewinding the recorded episodes I have just to see them again. Nicely done.

And the battles in the show themselves are very attention-grabbing and at times unpredictable. Yusuke may be winning a fight one minute and the next he can barely fight back because of his opponent's hidden technique they had all along. The fighters in this show can pull some unexpected tricks from up their sleeves and they are extremely intelligent and calculating in their each of their actions. They'll make you go "Wow. I never saw that one coming". Another good thing about the fighting is that long battles last no more than 5 or 6 episodes, unlike a 20 episode long battle in Dragonball Z. They get to the point quickly, with fireworks galore. These gripping moments never cease to let you go.

And the characters themselves are outstanding. Their personalities are so well brought out and so diverse. Yusuke's reckless and free-spirited, while Hiei (pronounced Hee-ay for those who don't know) is a dark loner who is only interested in number one most of the time. They are so developed and life-like you can't help but imagine someone close who resembles of few characters to the letter. And as perfect as this all sounds, it has one major downfall. Because of the similarities of the basic storyline to DBZ, people tend to look at it as just a DBZ rip-off and skip it. If the likeness is forgotten, it can become a well loved anime by most people who see it is a bad show.

In conclusion, YYH is a well done dub, as far as the uncut version goes. Wonderful voices, good humor, and battles that will have you hooked, all done without leaving out too much of the show's Japanese feel. Good job, Funimation, you've mastered the art of professional anime dubbing. Hey 4Kids, if you're reading this, maybe you'll learn something.
