Yu Yu Hakusho follows the story of a teenager named Yusuke Urameshi who sacrifices himself to save a young boy from a truck accident. The lord of hell grants him a second chance at life, and Yusuke and a group of allies work as spirit detectives to protect the human world from demon criminals.
Yu Yu Hakusho is a captivating action-packed anime that excels in its violent brawls, with impressive VFX and CGI. Stunt performers perform stunts on wires or in the air at breakneck speeds, with the fights often ending with flashy effects. The conflict is enough to outclass most anime adaptations, and the brooding tone matches the anime’s goofy slapstick.
The soundtrack of this series is better than expected and the music along with the shot is perfect to watch. Besides that, the performance of the cast is better performance to some cast whose acting feels fake but the screenplay keeps us hooked for the show.

There are only five episodes of this show which makes this show better to watch because it doesn’t feel lag in the story and makes the audience hooks with the plot of the film whereas the cinematography of this show where the action shots are perfect and perfect choreography.
Yu Yu Hakusho adaptation’s pacing suffers as it compresses over 50 anime episodes into five 45-55-minute episodes, erasing much of the source material’s nuance. The events are interconnected, and few emotional moments have time to breathe. The first episode is the best, as it sets the stakes and resonates with viewers.
Rating – 4/5
Yu Yu Hakusho is a must-watch for long-time anime enthusiasts and a valuable guide for newcomers to the anime they deserve. This is perfect for the audience who wants to watch something different and like the fantasy show.
