Now, as for the music, its really all opinion. And at that, even if it doesn't look all that great it is great to see actual strategy and emotion playing big parts in many of the fights, rather than simply just having a bunch of punches, kicks, throws, explosions, etc., taking up multiple episodes. The action isn't amazing, but believe it or not, unlike most action/shounen anime this anime often tends to focus more on developing its story and characters, rather than producing lots of mindless action. The animation and artwork isn't top notch, even for its time, but its adequate and gets the job done. There is some very interesting character development for many of the characters, and the way in which they interact with one another, as well the diversity and similarities that they show, make for a very balanced chemistry between this cast. Also, this show doesn't just focus on the main character getting stronger and always being the big hero. I can guarantee that throughout the course of this show anyone watching it would at least find 1 character which they can truly appreciate. Upon first glance they may look like they each have those 1-dimensional cliché roles of an action series, but upon further viewing you will see that there is more than what meets the eye with Yu Yu Hakusho characters. They each have something unique and interesting about them. I find the characters to be the real award winners here. However, it also manages to come up with a lot of very unique and inventive ideas, and its dialogue, above average story, with much more depth to it than what you would expect from a shounen, and actual good sense of humor (when compared to most other action anime), make this title stand out from the crowd.
a shounen, and yes, it does have a few of those typical shounen clichés. That said, if you really don't like fighting anime of any sort, even if its one which has a decent or really good story, then don't bother reading this review, because I can already tell you that this anime is most likely not for you.Īnyways, for those of you who do like a well constructed fighting/action anime, Yu Yu Hakusho is an outstanding show in this category, overall. However, I do still enjoy the ones which are well done, as well as some of the classics. Find out more about the rating system here.Alright, I'll start off by saying that I'm no longer a big fan of fighting-based anime. Yu Yu Hakusho won’t convince those averse to battle anime to change their minds, but it is a good classic of the genre and doesn’t drag for 100s of episodes. Recommendation: For classic shounen fans. Fun characters, good pacing, and solid action make Yu Yu Hakusho a ride to the finish. The opening song, which stays throughout the series, doesn’t seem to fit a battle anime, but it grows on you.Ī delinquent and his unlikely allies have to deal with all manner of supernatural entities on the streets and in the arena. With a surprisingly good dub for such an old anime, you can go with either track here. We also have sliding animation, bland backgrounds, and streaks. We have moments of great animation (usually the battles) and some quality backgrounds.

However, if you are part of that core and are tired of modern series going on forever, look no further than Yu Yu Hakusho with its complete story at a mere 112 episodes. This isn’t the battle shounen to change your mind on the genre. And once you notice the pattern emerge, what’s to stop you from skipping a few episodes when you’ve seen this already?Įven so, Yu Yu Hakusho is an overall success. This repetition hurts the series the most and contributes to times when the pace feels off. Yu Yu Hakusho likes to wolf them down like a kid at the desert buffet going back for fifths. This happens with just about every enemy team, particularly in season 2, which is a tournament arc.
“I may be the last of my team, but the other guys were nothing compared to me.”
“You may have beaten those two, but I am stronger.” “You may have beaten my teammate, but he was weaker than me.” Then we have the constant commentary from the sidelines that the hero can’t possibly win…right before they win. You can perhaps get away with a single enemy cocky enough to do this, not the majority, as seen here. One opponent even tells of his technique before the fight. This makes them stupid and I hate stupid. I despise the trope of enemies explaining how their ability work to the hero for the sake of the audience. There has been a fair amount of praise from me so far, so let me temper this with criticisms, all of which revolve around the action.
