If you like HOnorabl Bad Ass Heroes, good morals, and ghosts and demons. This is the stuff.
spirit detective.. supernatural stuff and offcorse monsters and demons that is not possible to see by us. so yeah both show have them in common not to forget comedy, and other stuff
Bleach has so much in common with YYH that it almosts seem a rewrite.
Both features a regular human whose lives change after a contact with shinigamis (death gods) and go thru spirit related missions in the human world. The protagonists have a great gift for spiritual power and almost infinite potential (altough this is common in shonen), travel to other realms... and similarities go even beyond the protagonists (Ririn/Claude/Nova — Kaito/Kido/Yanagizawa someone?).
If you stick a red-hair wig on Yusuke Urameshi (the main character) you'll have Ichigo from the 90's.
Both have tough, bad boy exterior that they portray at school. Also like Ichigo, Yusuke get paranormal abilities and somehow gets involved of a alternate world to help save this world from the probable evil with the help of their friends sharing unique paranormal abilities that fit their talents. And as a sidenote, there is shinigamis in both series.
They both involve ghosts and are heavily fight oriented, but the themes are somewhat different. There is your average damsel in distress and female fighters, and there is more than enough action to go around for both series.
It clearly is the main inspiration, especially as Bleach drags on, and on...
The plots themselves are similar (Yusuke is a spirit detective and deals with intersections btwn the demon world and the real one; Ichigo is a shinigami and deals with hollow incursions into the real world), the development of the main characters is almost identical (normal delinquent to super powered fighter of justice), the main character goes on to gather a core group of friend who fight alongside him, he has a very powerful mentor who stays shrouded in mystery for large parts of the series... I could go on, but it seems excessive. These shows are terribly similar, yet are both really great shows to watch. If you Like Bleach, you will like Yuu Yuu Hakusho, as they are both truly excellent anime.
they seem oddly similar in many ways but both are very good
Both series involve a great deal of after-life stuff and in addition to both beeing great shounen, imo you can easily tell Bleach has been influensed by this anime.
Both main character has some inner-demonic powers and are ruthless, but honourable.
Similar stories with much action and adventure about shinigamis and the spiritual world.
In a way when you watch both of these anime, you can't help but wonder if they were wrote by the same person..they both start out with a boy that sucks at first and through a series of events gains power. As the series progresses they both get stronger for there own reasons and through determination. Though both came out years apart you can't help but feel the connection between the too. There are also some differences between the two like the art work and music but watching these action packed anime with long fights and bad ass attitudes will surely keep you entertained.
Both shows have delinquent teens for protagonists.
Delinquent teens are charged with protecting the world from supernatural beasts.
Delinquent teens both have female sidekick from supernatural world and along with lots of brawling school buddies.
Delinquent teens both have cool, supernatural toys with which to fight the supernatural beasts.
both are shonen anime with similar settings they both alsohave a badass as the main character they both have that ghost busting feel to it as well
They are both long main stream anime with spirits and demons and they have afterlife and heaven and hell in the shows. Main chars are super powerfull and fight to protect their friends.
Bleach and Yuu Yuu Hakusho both involve a young male teenage lead that is an outcast and not understood. These characters gain spiritual powers due to a strange event, and gain new friends who better understand them.
Both protagonists go through an early experience that gets them involved with spirits and the supernatural.
They also involve their friends in it and all of their powers are unique and special to them alone.
Bleach has more friends, longer plot, and a more intricate and complex system.
Yu Yu Hakusho is has less friends involved, has a more traditional shonen feel to it, and the plotting is simplistic, shorter, and compact.
Both of them talk about the other world, have monsters, jokes, etc..
Ichigo and his gang of friends fight other people with powers. both anime started out with the main character not having any powers and then their journey begins
After watching both of them, you'll see that Bleach stole a fair chunk of the plot and character traits from Yu Yu Hakusho. Both are great fighting/supernatural shows though.

They are just alike in many ways..if you liked Dragon Ball Z, you'll love Yuu Yuu Hakusho/Yu Yu Hakusho. They are both great anime's.
If DBZ is the king of fighting anime, then YYH is the prince. Both have incredible characters, faster than the speed of light movement, more energy attacks then you can shake a stick of Pocky at, and more insane battles than you'll know what to do with.
Now, that said, I recommend checking out the anime before you read the manga, especially if you're new to otakudom. The YYH has been known to turn off some readers, but the anime is very crisp considering it was animated over ten years ago.
Similar Shonen style. Lots of action and many of the same devices used throughout both.
Totally Similar!! I watch Yuu Yuu Hakusho first and then watched DBZ.. I said YYH is copy of DBZ.. another friend of mine watched DBZ first and then YYH.. He said DBZ is copy of YYH..
Martial Arts, Shounen, Fighting Tounaments.. Totally similar actually..
Both were pretty much kings of anime in the 90s and pretty much both have awesome villains and heroes
Basically both animes start out as the person not knowing who he is, what he is, and what he can do. Centered around fighting and friends. Both excellent... if you liked one you will 100% like the other.
Uber Energy, After Lifes, Alternate Realms/Worlds, Enemies that reveal themselves conveinently in order of accending power levels, Chris Sabat, Why the hell not?
Yu Yu Hakusho is like a twisted version of Dragon Ball Z. They have plenty of things in common, from fighting to save the planet to a splash of romance to lighten things up.

Both anime have tournament style fights where the protagonists are aiming to save the Earth from the villains.
Both of these are anime revolving around a group of fighters participating in tournament-style fights. If Flame of Recca interests you, you'll find Yu Yu Hakusho even better.
Characters with special elemental abilities.
Almost exactly the same. Same style tourney for first major arc... Same style characters (1 main, 1 strong, 1 dumb/gutsy, 1 tactical.) Many more, basically everything except the fact that in flame of recca the guy didn't get hit by a car in the first episode... and they don't use spirit energy. Must watch.
Both of these shows are awsome because they both do really good tournament fights witch are shonen lovers favorite
If you liked yu yu hakusho, you would definitely love flame of recca. Both of the main characters in the respective anime are very similar. Both involve tournaments. And both have amazing fight scenes. If you liked yu yu hakusho, you would definitely like flame of recca
the storylines...plots and even characters match

Both created by Yoshihiro Togashi. Shounen genre and involves the main characters discovering a whole new world outside of what they knew.
Well,same manga creatror,same action and interesting animes and both are animation are a like,they both very great and similar to each other.the characters are very similar too ;]
They are very similar in many factors, as animation, sobrenatural powers and characters
Same author. same look. same tournament-based theme. same character attributes. They even have characters that both sparked endless controversies whether he is a she or she is a he. The only obvious difference between the two is probably the lack of female love interests in Hunter x Hunter... oh well, that's the second difference, the HxH heroes are a bit younger than YYH's.
Same author. Same greatness that'll catch you off your guard.
both have tournaments to win

they are both top of the line fighting animes you well find
Both are Fighting Shounen Animes with a lot of action and both go to way of "fights with more punches and kicks than fireballs/projectiles". Also, both have a "badboy" protagonist, a girl who loves the main, a Loser boy, Cool loking antagonists and a group who walk together with main.
|

Both refer to the use of Super Powers of great destruction,also, both anime's have a great story line and the main characters share a common goal,to become the best.
power given to school kid, they enter a tournament

Kenichi is like Yu Yu Hakusho, but replaces demons with street fighters. They're both worth watching.
They are both a series based on fighting. While in Kenichi he starts off weak and helpless, in Yuu Yuu hakusho, he starts off as a delinquent. However, theya re both relatively weak. In Yuu Yuu Hakusho, instead of fighting delinquents and other steet people, Yu Yu is a 'spirit detective' which essentially means he fights demons and such. In both shows they strive to get stronger and stronger. There is also a fair amount of comedy intertwined into both shows.

|
In both Yuu Yuu Hakusho and Project ARMS the main characters are a group of 4 youngsters with special abilities. They fight the evil, and are often told they can't win. They start out weak and grow stronger. Both series also have a lot of sarcasm.
|
|
|
Both are good fast-paced action that can appeal to almost anyone and they stray from the typical stuff we see in this genre
|
|
|
Kenshin and Yu Yu are both two of the classic action/comedy hybrids, while Yu Yu Hakusho is supernatural, and Rurouni Kenshin is more realistic featuring samurai and swordplay.
|
|
|
D.Gray-man and Yuu Yuu Hakusho are both about a few youngsters who have special powers. They become friends while fighting non-human evil. As time goes by they become stronger. Both groups have serious and goofy characters, and lots of humor.
|
|
|
Both are really good fighting/action type animes. If you enjoy one you'll probably enjoy the other.
|
|
|
It has the feel of Yu Yu Hakusho in regards to it witty humor, fun characters, and jaw dropping action. Not to mention a very well written and casted english dub. Be warned, this is a very graphic anime.

Both anime have great action sequences with a lot of comical humor built in.
|
|
|
I wouldn't connect these two at first sight but by the end of Midori Days I was pretty surprised no one else saw the similarities.
|
|
|
Both are fighting shounens with long battles.These two have a way to confront the
subordinates to finally meet the head of the saga or a Tournament System like Dragon Ball's tournaments. Also both have nice drama moments and some GAR scenes.
|
|
|
Both Have a delinquent protagonist who changes his style by some factor and have somebody who always lose in fights for main. (In Yuu Yuu Hakusho are Kuwabara and in School Rumble are Yoshidayama)
|
|
|
Both of these anime have a pretty similar aspect...similar characters, magic, demons, traveling around in a group etc.
|
|
|
Yuu Yuu is a much older anime than Rental Magica, but very analogous I looked across my whole entire animelist, and Yuu Yuu Hakusho correlated to Rental Magica the most, and vice versa. The supernatural powers are at hand, but take diverse forms.
(Only real thing is... Rental Magica takes a massive leap to take used to as it is lethargic in the beginning)
|
|
|
Both are shounen action anime with carefree and independent main characters who nevertheless have a strong loyalty to their friends. Also I found much of the humor in both to be more situational and less slapstick than in your typical shounen genre show (though each definitely has it's share of both types.)
|
|
|
Both main characters gain a strange power from an infant, an infant who can talk. They train in...strange ways to master their power and gather a group of friends that battle together. Two great anime that I recommend.
|
|
|
they fall along the same lines, fighting and friends. Also the fights are very similar in how they are done with the sequence and the the growth of the character.
|
|
|
Jyuushin Enbu and Yuu Yuu Hakusho both portray martial arts in cool fictional fashions. Yuu Yuu Hakusho focuses on spirit energy, whereas Jyuushin Enbu focuses on Souhiki Naiden (called something like that, I probably screwed the name up though.)
|
|
|
both have a 'spiritual' sense to them.
|
|
|
Yu Yu Hakusho and InuYasha are both in depth fighting animes. The main protagonists, InuYasha and Yusuke, both develop into stronger, more powerful individuals along the course of their adventures. They both weild incredible powers, whether it be InuYasha's Wind Scar, or Yusuke's Spirit Gun, a lot of fun will be had watching either show.
|
|
|
Both animes are related to fighting, and if you liked the way the story progressed in either anime then you will enjoy the other at the end. They both share a tournament style as well, if you enjoy that feel in an anime...
|
|
|
The animation is kinda similiar, and both have kickass action, but R+V stresses the ecchi aspect a lot more.
|
|
|
fighting demons,similar graphics,and the main character does anything to save the people he loves.
