I agree. I'm not really a huge fan of shounen, so the Dark Tournament arc did drag a bit, but my love of the Sensui arc more than makes up for it. Engaging characters and snappy dialogue kept me entertained through all 112 episodes.

I love this show so much. It was one of the first anime I really got into... it has a meandering plotline without much planning, but it's still so fun.

A Classic Shounen Series that Is Worth Your Time
Five years after I first saw it, YYH still impacts me to this very day. It may start out a little weird, and the Dark Tournament arc may drag on a little long, but it more than makes up for it with its clever fights, well-written characters, and strong women and gay guys. (Also, plenty of crazy people, if that's up your alley.) Yes, the fights are awesome, but what has kept me around for this long are the awesome characters (and their relationships), as well as the slick writing (and the Genius Bonus you might see if you squint hard enough).
However, I would not recommend this to people who are not fans of shounen in the first place. You might get bored during the Tournament Arc and swear this show off.
In short, 8/10.
