For the First anime review of this blog. I, Thomas, decided I would write a review for Inuyasha. The series has 193 episodes. I first watched Inuyasha in the early mornings on cartoon network's adult swim. I own everything but the final act for the tv episodes.
Inuyasha is the story of a girl, Kagome, whose family lives at an old shrine in Japan. Everything on the grounds has a story including the old bone eaters well, which is said, when something goes in it vanishes. One day Kagome is searching for her cat near the well when something pulls her in. When she regains her senses the shrine is nowhere to be seen. She has been sent back in time 500 years. She eventually meets a half-demon named Inuyasha and together they need to find the shards of a scared jewel, which grants power to demons. If someone were to get all the pieces they could take over Japan. They form a team with a fox demon, a monk, and a demon exterminator(and her pet demon cat).
The team has an interesting dynamics with each other and can be pretty comedic. They do work well together and have different strengths for battle. They all have goals for why they would be traveling.
Like most anime it has filler and most of them are just a new villain to fight. This show is very episodic at times with an overarching plot they come back to. Fight people, get stronger, Fight stronger people, fight the boss, get stronger. So on and so on.They are just like the rest of the manga.
Four movies where made for the show and each one is basically the same as an arc of the movie but with a slightly better budget.
The anime is better than the manga in the fact it has some good action scenes and you can hear people pronouncing the names of things.
P.S. This coming Sunday. I'll be writing a review of the manga.
