Mixed Feelings
Its ok...

For a 90's shounen anime its kinda impressive but its didn't age too well.
Don't get me wrong I still enjoyed the show none the less but it's not even close to one of the best shounen ever made.
My biggest issue with the story is the lack of identity.every arc the tone of the show changes drastically and new ideas are put in out of nowhere without much explanation.

There were 2 things that I really liked.
Team Urameshi were a very good and interesting cast of characters that made me keep watching even tho the plot went of the rails (especially Kuwabara who was the most relatable protag)

And of course The Dark Tournament which was the whole reason I decided to pick up the show in the first place. And while it wasn't perfect the battles that were good we're really good (Fight against Team Toguro or the fight against Chu are great examples)

The animation is dated even for the time and the Japanese performances were a bit flat. The dub was a little more tolerable but a bit cringe at times. The music is great no complaints.

It's a fun story with fun characters that you can turn your brain off while watching.

If I were a kid when I watched it then I could have given more but for me now it's a solid 7/10
