YuYu Hakusho

YuYu Hakusho is an action shonen battle series created by Yoshihiro Togashi,

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Extremely great art for the time.
 * 2) Outstanding cast of characters. Not as good as Togashi's later work, Hunter X Hunter (due to some their backstories being just simple), but the characters, both protagonists and antagonists, are interesting and complex.
 * 3) Surprisingly great comedy.
 * 4) Most characters get a chance to shine, even some side characters like Jin and Rinku.
 * 5) Yusuke Urameshi's character arc is known for being one of the best and most engaging coming-of-age stories in all of anime and manga.
 * 6) Shockingly great and well development romance between Yusuke Urameshi and Keiko Yukimura.
 * 7) The villains in this series are some of the most well known, interesting, and complex, in all of contemporary Shonen Jump anime and manga, like Younger Toguro and Shinobu Sensui.
 * 8) Excellent fight scenes, especially during the Dark Tournament Saga, which is considered the best arc in the series.
 * 9) All of the main cast have great dynamics together. Their interactions are always engaging, no matter what they're doing.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It has several unlikeable characters like the teachers of Sarayashiki High School who constantly bullied Yusuke and Kuwabara, or Gonzo Tarukane who was responsible for psychologically torturing Yukina to profit off her tears.
 * 2) Yusuke's mother, Atsuko Urameshi, was a very useless character who contributed nothing for the series.
 * 3) Several characters were poorly underutilized in the series like Chū, Rinku, Jin, Tōya, Shishiwakamaru and Suzuki.
 * 4) Koto and Juri, while likeable characters, can be a little annoying.
 * 5) The ending was a bit rushed because of Togashi's health.

Trivia

 * It had some differences from the manga. The manga showed more realistic moments as an influence to Hans Ruedi Giger, and a notable example was that Mukuro was raped by a pedophile during her childhood and poured acid on herself in the manga, along with some characters not being in the show.
