Yu Yu Hakusho is still one of my favorite shonen series. It has a wide cast of characters, some of which are pretty decent, some of which are bloody scary, but all with very different personalities. The fighting rarely gets tedious, as most battles wrap up in an episode or two and always involve different strategies and tricks outside of simply "Beat the other guy to the ground."
The four main characters are all quite fun and while they are still the "good" guys, sometimes have moments of anti-heroism. Kurama and Hiei especially don't lose their demonic edge, and the nicest of the bunch is, ironically, the thuggish-looking Kuwabara. Very Togashi, it is.
What's really interesting to watch nowadays in relation to Yu Yu Hakusho is how it influential it's been in current-day series such as Naruto and Bleach. Certainly worth a viewing.
I like it
