The story is all about a notorious boy whose name is Yusuke Urameshi who dies saving a boy's life in a car accident. Despite Yusuke's punk-attitude, he has a heart of gold which prompted Botan (a beautiful girl who happens to be the grim reaper) and Koenma (the guy who decides who goes to heaven or hell) to give him a second chance in life. Being alive once again, Yusuke discovers that he possesses spiritual powers. This power given by Koenma is known as the spirit gun, which Yusuke can use with his right finger to fire powerful energy blasts. Yusuke also discovers that there is a spirit world, which is why Koenma dubs him as the spirit detective to eradicate any evil that disturbs the balance between the human world and the spirit world. Together with Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei, Yusuke (along with his new powers) must destroy anything that threatens not only mankind, but also demonkind.

Humour is definitely not something which belongs in Yuu Yuu Hokusho. Well, they do manage to try to out it in through Koenma and his "subordinates". (Poor Koenma) For an anime which is first released around the 90s, I have to say I really enjoyed this one despite the fact that they lack handsome boys and magical magic. I'm not really into fighting, action-oriented animation but the plot is really something. And again, it's really a great idea for the animation studio to remove the unnecessary chapters from the manga and improved the character's clothing. Some of them weren't really useful at all, I don't even know why did Yoshihiro Togashi wanted to draw that part.
