A good ending (although a bit rushed, like they were trying to fit too much things in just one episode) for an awesome anime. That's all I can say.

So as I pray, unlimited blade works"

Yeah it really felt like it was being cancelled so they had to end it fast or something.
Nice anime but it could have been a lot better. It was a little inconsistent in many things and kind of rushed. Anyway it was ok i guess.

Pretty satisfying long shounen. Great fights, characters and values, and this one actually had a conclusion which seems to be a rarity in the genre now-a-days.

I do admit it ended somewhat abruptly, but the last episode transmitted so much emotions and peace of mind, it was a phenomenal peaceful conclusion to a very entertaining series.

Yep. I agree. I finished this anime way back in 2009, but I still love it. With Hunter X Hunter being reanimated and all, I sort of am hoping they'll do the same for Yu Yu Hakusho. I believe there was plenty of material not animated.

The ending was sort of abrupt, as was the last arc, but it still felt satisfying. Honestly speaking, I only picked this up because I had watched random episodes from the Dark Tournament and Demon Trio arcs on Animax way back, and I couldn't rest until I'd finished what I started. I went into it with a "get this over with" attitude, but now that its over, I think I'm going to miss it.

Decent sentimental wrap-up episode. Nice finally seeing Kuwabara again.

I laughed when Puu showed up. I had quite forgotten that thing even existed. What a do-nothing character that thing was!

I like Keiko's re-design. Believable physical maturation is pretty rare.

I still think that the main romance is awfully weak, but at least it gets a climax at the end here.

I'm a little sorry that Yusuke's mom fails to reappear after her 80+ episode absence.

Well, it did protect Yusuke when he was being revived as a demon.

The last arc did feel pretty rushed, but I'm satisfied with the ending. Yusuke and the whole cast came a long way from what they were at the beginning of the series.

I just re-watched it now and it was awesome, yuyu was one of my first animes and I missed it a lot when it's finished. However, the story could go on, showing us Yusuke becomes the king of the other world and marrying Keiko.

It's 02:23 and I have work in just a few hours, but I stayed up to watch Yu Yu Hakusho. Was it worth it? Yes it was. This is also my 100th completed anime, so yay.

The show definitely has some of the best music and fight scenes, but that's really all there is to enjoy. Still worth an 8/10

It was rush in the end, because I heard the author had work to hard on the series (manga) and fainted.

Other rumors associate that he got tired of it. Looking back at all this and his second work HxH, he might of been lazy and tired.

and regarding the ending, I love Hiei x Mukuro scenes.

They didn't show us how Yusuke spent his time in deamon realm after tournament :P
But i liked how it ended and how everyone grew up, especially Keiko. She turned from girl to young lady.
Also I missed Kuwabara in last arc, he always lost everywhere but his mindset was pretty good.

Overal
I liked how this series started than i got quite bored during 1st tournament part but after tournament arc it became quite good and i liked it till the end.

I still remember what Yusuke's mom saw in her dream right the day after his death in episode 2:
"I saw Yusuke fighting against monsters in another world, and then he became their leader."

Perhaps the author already had in mind the ending from the start.

And thus Togashi was inspired to fill Hunter x Hunter with traps.

It's really good to get these epilogue endings, there was a huge sense of closure that came with it. This is one of the most well paced battle shounen I've seen along with HxH 2011. It's hard to believe that I finally sat down and watched YYH in earnest. As a whole this was a thrilling ride that brought back some 90s nostalgia filled to the brim with action (and muscles!). Although it was pretty much a textbook example of typical battle shounen, it was still a refreshing and awesome ride. One of my gripes however is how the women just felt like luggage meant to boost morale/comic relief with the exception of a spare few. This only helped the whole "manly man macho man" tone sink in more, which often felt overbearing. To break down my thoughts into each arc/saga briefly:

Spirit Detective: 7/10

This was a good introduction into the series and did well to set the scene. The childish villains felt a bit underwhelming but I still enjoyed it.

Dark Tournament: 7.5/10

It had plenty of awesome fights (especially the entirety of the final round), but the earlier fights often felt dragged out and I wasn't a particular fan of some such as the Ichigaki team battle. Hiei vs Bui, Kurama vs Karasu, and Toguro vs Yusuke were the highlights.

Chapter Black: 8.5/10

This one caught my attention the most and I enjoyed Sensui as a villain as well as the more cynical approach to human nature. The final battle in the Demon Realm was the very meaning of epic.

Three Kings: 8/10

Although I really wish this had been longer and more developed, it was still thoroughly enjoyable and engaging to finally see the depths of the Demon Realm. It was also amusing how Yusuke turned all of their politics upside down with a survival of the strongest tournament. The only thing that I was disappointed with was how the fights didn't feel like cosmological battles. Most of them felt tame compared to Sensui vs Yusuke finale. Mukuro was fascinating and it was great to see Hiei x Mukuro at the end.

As a whole I'll give Yu Yu Hakusho an 8/10.

I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed Yu Yu Hakusho. It has pretty much everything a good shounen anime should have.

I loved the characters too, particularly Kuwabara (He made me laugh a lot but I also respected him). I missed him in the last arc and without Kuwabara Yu Yu Hakusho wouldn't have been nearly as fun. Though I think the majority of the characters added something and made it worth watching.

I'm torn between giving it a 9 or 10/10.

The last 10 I gave was actually for Hunter x Hunter (2011). The fact that they have the same creator was the reason why I decided to even watch Yu Yu Hakusho. Usually I would avoid investing so much time but I'm glad I did.

Like many other people, I'd absolutely love a remake by Madhouse even if it's identical aside from fresh animation. It would ensure more people got to experience Yu Yu Hakusho at least.

So it finally comes to an end.. the final episode was good. It was nice seeing the gang all meeting up again, although I felt like Yusuke came back a bit too late in the episode as I wanted to see more of how everyone reacted as he went around meeting them all one by one.

But anyway, I really enjoyed watching the anime.. there were some great arcs, personally I enjoyed the first arc and the dark tournament arc the most. The last arc felt a bit rushed because it seemed like there was a lot of depth to the Demon Realm that they could have explored.

One thing I didn't like about it was the fact that it jumped from one arc to the next quite quickly so we never really experienced any "peaceful times" in between them.. I guess people would probably end up calling that filler, but I would have enjoyed some Slice of Life-ish moments with these characters..

Speaking of which, I will miss the characters in this show... I loved how they were all rivals at the start and then became a close group of friends, I felt like everyone got their moment and no one was forgotten about as the series went along. I'll also miss watching/hearing that awesome OP every day.

Overall, I'll give this an 8/10. Unfortunately for me, there is no nostalgia going on as I only even found out about this anime a few years ago (and I only now got round to watching it), so I think there were still a few things it could have improved upon for me to give it a better score...

Overall, it was a really impressive story. While it had quite some flaws and some things could've surely been done differently, it definitely showed the writer's talent and abilities.

This was a mediocre final episode that presented a rather forgettable happy ending for the entire cast. Not harming humans for three continuous years at the minimum is no doubt a ridiculous proposal for demons when they in fact need to consume human flesh for their own survival.

Keiko was sure self-centred when it came down to it by thinking that she should be important to someone and receive priority just because she knew the person for a long time. She ought to look at the bigger picture at hand and consider how Yusuke managed to use his time away to keep balance between the three worlds as well as saving the Human World so many times before.

On a side-note, Shuichi must have missed a lot of school during this period of time spent in the Demon World. Can he graduate middle school even with his excellent grades at this point and what about his new human family who were unaware of his whereabouts?

Overall, this show failed to entertain me. The more compelling moments from the Chapter Black Arc and the Three Kings Arc were few and far between. For me, only the first four episodes of the series alongside a handful of episodes after the Dark Tournament Arc were truly enjoyable. All of the fights in this show were very much lacklustre and I do not think I found any of them to be thoroughly compelling.

I hate to be a necromancer, but since this thread has been replied to in the last month I thought I'd reply as well.

I've watched YYH multiple times and have always been unsatisfied with the end, though it gives more closure than most. I just really wish there was more to this series and I was able to witness more character development throughout the entire cast. (Imagine my surprise when HxH was created by the same great mind).


All in all, I love Yusuke and everything he managed to accomplish in the short time I was able to watch his story, and every time I have watched it.

Your story may be over Yusuke, but your memory will always live on through your fans.
