For those who didn't know... Yu Yu Hakusho is made by the same (amazing genius mindfuck) mangaka who made Hunter X Hunter (my favorite!), Yoshihiro Togashi.
So is YYH any good? Isn't jut another generic battle shonen? The answer is no, with capslock. NO. YYH is generic yes, but it's suprisingly good. I think because even if YYH has the same formula as any other generic battle shonen (Naruto, One Piece, Fairy Tail, DBZ), YYH executed it weirdly good. It has many tournament, but the feel in it is different. Plus there's a grim and dangerous feel in it. I like it. A lot.
First of the summary:
One day, 14-year-old Yusuke Urameshi suddenly finds himself dead, having died pushing a child out of the way of oncoming traffic. Since he has such a bad personality, even the Spirit World was caught by surprise that he would sacrifice himself. Yusuke soon finds out he wasn't supposed to die and has a chance for resurrection and bringing his body back to life. After being resurrected, Yusuke becomes a Spirit Detective, along with his comrades, and one adventure after another happens, whether it be an investigation or a fighting tournament.
So here's my assessment:
Story 6/10
Why? The plot is nothing special. Really. Just bunch of fight and tournament. No real plot twist. The story is really simple and straight forward. Even though, the plot in Chapter Black is quite good. Let just say that Chapter Black is the sample of Hunter X Hunter awesome story, but it's just sample, it isn't as good as Hunter x Hunter. So the conclusion, if you watch YYH because you expect I don't know awesome mindfuck story, then you'll be dissapointed.
Everything wrong with this series is payed by amazing cast. Really AMAZING CHARACTERS. I think Togashi-sensei is really good with this aspect. He's genius.There's zero annoying characters! Well, sometimes there is, but just a little bit annoying. That's why I rated it 9.5 hahah. But anyway, the characters is badass awesome nothing like one dimenssional. Everything about YYH characters is fuckin awesome. Especially Urameshi Yusuke. He can beat the crap out of you if you dissagree with this.
Animation 7/10
Well it's made in 1992, I even haven't born yet. So the animation is well bad, but at that time I think it's pretty good. The animation is fluid and all. Sometimes there's reuse animation and that's a bit annoying, but I can tolerate that with awesomely character YYH has.
Sound 8/10
Pretty good sound though. many of them really memorable and pretty emotional. Yes very emotional I must say. Fuah... *wipe tears*
Emotional Aspect 10/10
This is the first anime that makes me really really emotional. Like really.... I cried, laughed, and I do really care about the characters. My favorite part is the climax of Dark Tournament, when Yusuke and Toguro fight, the fight is weirdly emotional. It's not just action, there's more in it. Hell, it's more like a drama than a fight. WHICH I LOVE!! I hate unreasonable fight and deus ex machina, yeah it's cool and whatever. But it's just cool not great and awesome like YYH. Oh by the way, I think this is the part where YYH exceed HxH. The story in HxH is better, but the emotional part is better in YYH. Well, nothing is perfect anyway...
Overal Yu Yu Hakusho is a great anime, whoever loves shonen, battle shonen, or as simple as series with good and well developed characters then you'll enjoy this! (Especially you who loves Hunter X Hunter)
