My favorite anime is Yu Yu Hakusho. Categories I can think of - things I like to see in an anime - include:

Romance = YYH has a variety of this (everything but yuri ;p )
Action = definitely, along with a wide variety of fighters and styles
Comedy = from the very beginning, not too much, not too little
Drama = can we say Sensui arc? drama in spades
Psy-fi = the pre-Sensui arc reminds me of Trekies or maybe xmen ;p
Gore = well sure, just look at Sensui's past
Angst = Hiei, need I say more? ^_^;
School = a genre more than a category, but school settings tend to be a plus
Samurai = another 'genre' but Genkai and her teachings fit this to a T
Fanservice = the announcer girls in the tournaments, and the bishies
Slap-stick comedy = not usually my favorite, but YYH pulls it off well without going overboard
Religion = lacking here, though the 'afterlife/reincarnation' theory gets expounded in detail
Murder/Intrigue = Toguro, Sensui, Raizen, into motives of very twisted psychos - watches like a 'thriller' novel
Cute dumb funny girls = Botan, she'd fit right into the shoujo Sailormoon type anime genre
Split Personalities = think Kenshin vs Battousai, Inuyasha vs Youkai Inuyasha, Kurama and Sensui are prime examples of this type of character depth
Shocks/Surprises = ever seen the end of Magic Knight Rayearth? Plot twists can definitely be a shocker when done right - YYH manages a killer one of these
Famly/Friendship = the stories that pull the heartstrings and just make characters endearing, this is what excells in Psychic Force, and definitely plays a large role in yyh

Yeah, name some more genres and categories typically found in 'good' or even 'popular' anime and I can probably find it in YYH. It gets passed off as a general action anime, but those who think that need to watch the last two arcs before they categorize it. Everything comes together in this anime, at least, everything I like to see in an anime.

mecha?

Well, there's a giant robot that fights just like a 'mobile doll' in Gundam Wing (meaning by outside control), so I guess that counts as 'mecha'. ;p

Please Teacher

1. Mizuho is an anime woman who's not a dunderhead with boobs. She's an intelligent if not slightly immature highschool teacher with HOT PINK hair...

2. Kei Kusanagi isn't a fucking loser moron like I see in all these other "harem" styled anime. He doesn't nose bleed cause again, he's not a fuckin' moron. He struggles against himself and his conditions. And he knows how to appreciate a woman, unlike again, TONS of other fucking idiotic morons who are chased by many in other romance comedy anime.

3. I don't need to buy 20 dvds for it. *short series makes me and mah wallet happy*

4. It's got I've Sound music playing [by Kotoko no less... ^_^]

5. I think it might be h-game based. ^_^

6. The characters aren't cookie cutter types. They're each unique with their own original personality and appearence that doesn't easily resemble any other anime characters I know of. (in fact, some people can't remember their names on occasion. lol)

7. This list is too big so I'll stop here before I type out 100 reasons...
