InuYasha

October 23, 2006, 2:31 AM

I really enjoyed the InuYasha series a lot.

Towards the end is where I thought that series started to get boring. Especially with the love Triangle with InuYasha, Kagome, and Kikyou. That stuff drove me nuts.

Personally, my favorite character is Miroku. I always thought he was really hot. :love: So, anyone have anything they want to discuss about the anime series InuYasha? Anyone enjoy any of the movies?

---------------------------------------
For anyone who doesn't know the plot of the series goes something like this:

The story begins in Tokyo, Japan with a junior high-school girl named Kagome Higurashi, who, on her way to school, heads to the covered well on the family property (which happens to be a Shinto shrine). She does this to retrieve her cat, Buyo, from the well, since her brother was afraid to go inside. When she approaches the well a centipede demon bursts from the well and grabs her. The demon claims that Kagome possesses the Jewel of the Four Souls (四魂の玉 Shikon no Tama) and attempts to seize it. When the demon is driven off, the very confused Kagome emerges in the Sengoku period of Japan. Kagome wanders into a colassal forest looking for landmarks that she may recognize. She spots the Sacred Tree off in the distance and proceeds to run towards it, where she finds Inuyasha, who is still sealed with an arrow in the tree. He is asleep. Villagers seize her and take her to a nearby village where she meets an old miko (Shinto shrine maiden) by the name of Kaede, who recognizes that Kagome is almost a mirror likeness for Kikyo (Kikyou), her elder sister (and powerful shrine maiden) who had died at the age of 17 and had her body burned with the Jewel of the Four Souls, taking it with her into the afterlife. Kaede relates the story of how, 50 years earlier, a han'yō named InuYasha had tried to steal the Jewel from Kikyo, mortally wounding her in the process, but Kikyo had managed to strike him with a magical arrow, pinning him into an enchanted sleep against a tree and thus retrieving the Jewel before she finally died. It is later shown that Inuyasha had a relationship with the priestess Kikyo and it was not him that tried to steal the jewel but Naraku, an evil character bent on destroying Kikyo, Inuyasha, and many other people. Inuyasha must fight his half brother Sesshomaru because he wants to kill Inuyasha for their father's sword, Tetsusaiga.

I thought the idea of inuyasha was awesome but the anime itself couldve been done alot better

I think that the manga series was a lot better than the anime series. Especially with all the fillers. Some of them were okay but a lot of them were just annoying.

And I don't think they ever actually finished the anime. Not even in the 4th movie.

I watched a few episodes and got bored with it to be honest =/

I watched and read it. I gave up with the show. Especialy after I heard that it never finished. And I sorta stopped getting the books too. I'm on around book 27 and don't plan on getting the rest. The show ruined it for me. With the fillers and episodes with shippo got to be too much. It was a nice idea.... but ended up not being enough.

Inuyasha is a great anime but i think that it started to go down hill after they stopped inuyasha from getting his moments where he would turn full demon. that was the best part of the anime. the coolest character thought has to be miroku. i like how he is always acting like he is this perfect priest and all that then as soon as a hot girl walks in he is all over them.

I'm not fond of InuYasha, it sounds somewhat like a good idea but like some have already said, the filler episodes are way to annoying, and all the love situations with Miroku/Sango and the whole InuYasha/Kagome/Kikyo thing got old really fast.

Shippo was okay at first but he quickly got on my nerves.

I really dont' like it at all, Miroku was the only reason I watched when I did.
