Over all Yu Yu Hakusho is pretty good for what it is, a 90s shonen. Alot of the stories beats found in Yu Yu Hakusho are generic but not to an insulting degree as found in more recent animanga in which they make that generic concept into the driving force of the narrative. Instead Yu Yu Hakusho takes the self loafing concepts of humanity such as "Would anybody care if I died" and "Humanity deserves to die" and transforms them into fighting motifs for the protagonist and makes it feel that these were silly concepts to even think of.
Each character also feels interesting especially towards the end when Togashi's writing style noticeably improves with characters like Mukuro and their motives.
Give Yu yu hakusho a read when you can, its a much better story telling experience compared to the anime. Its story stills holds up today's standards even with Yusuke's no brains all brawn mindset.
