The main villains of each story arc are also well designed and rather intricate beings, many of which are often difficult to view as explicitly bad or good (Sensui is a prime example here). Plus the less-than-playful banter that ensues between Hiei and Kuwabara is quite amusing at times. During the course of this anime, Hiei is revealed to be much more complex and warm an individual than his humble beginnings in this series imply. The real treat in characterization though is Hiei, the reformed demon who is initially seen as an emotionally frigid self-centered being. Kuwabara and Kurama each fill their roles quite nicely as well. The lead character, Urameshi Yusuke, is eminently believable as a "tough-guy-with-a-heart". The characters of this series are thoroughly enjoyable and play quite well off one another. In fact they are among the coolest I've seen.Īnother admirable quality of Yu Yu Hakusho is its characterization. And finally, from Hiei's Black Dragon Wave to Sensui's Saint Light Spirit, the attacks and techniques used by the characters of this series are plainly cool. Another refreshing attribute is that the outcome of fights here are determined as much by mindful strategy as they are by power-level. This is an especially endearing quality considering some of Yu Yu's fighting-genre contemporaries, the most prominent of which is Dragon Ball Z, a series in which intensely long battles can become intensely boring very quickly. The individual fight sequences, although they occur often, don't generally last more than an episode or two. To begin with, the fight scenes are not overly drawn out - an essential component of any decent fight-style anime. However, to those that find the aforementioned genre palatable, Yu Yu Hakusho will be loads of less-than-fluffy fun. To those who dislike fighting/action anime, Yu Yu Hakusho will be nothing more than an uninspiring romp. Along with his once rival Kuwabara and the two reformed demons Kurama and Hiei, Yusuke journeys into the heart of the demon world to enforce the law of the spirits. As a consequence of this good deed, Yusuke is given the opportunity to return to life and assume the role of Spirit Detective, an agent of the spiritual world that works to maintain the boundary between the world of humans and the world of demons. This story begins with 14-year-old Urameshi Yusuke, a hapless street urchin that, defying his generally poor character, dies while jumping in the path of a speeding car to save the life of a young boy.
