Inuyasha: General Discussion

[Kage Bunshin]

Just wondering about your thoughts on the "final" episode 166-167.
New movie coming! Inuyasha 4
The manga is still going meaning new eps and OVAs of Inuyasha will be coming as well.
I can't wait to see what else they got in store for Inuyasha this year and many more to come!

Post........... NOW!

[Nero inactive]

The ending felt like kinda like the ending to the sci-fi Farscape (which luckily will be returning a little). It was a good episode, he got to do some nice Kongousouha's. Inuyasha has always been a favorite series of mine (is my longest followed series and one of my first), sad to see it end now, but as you said it will continue in other ways. Haven't read the manga for some time now, and will probably have to try and find the new ones (got a good resourse for it?).

[Blayze]

Ugh. Got a definite source for the OVA news? I thought it was still uncertain how Inuyasha would be coming back...

You want the manga? Ear-Tweak. That's a good website :P

Anyway, here's a little something for all you other Yasha fans. A song by Jon Bon Inu :P

---

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for miko-departed
I ain't gonna be one of the human crowd
You're gonna hear my attacks
When I shout 'em out loud
It's my sword
It's now or never
You ain't gonna live forever
I just want to yell out my attacks
(For omake tracks)
My sword is like a giant fang, hey
I never thought
That it could decay
I just wanna yell out my attacks
For omake tracks
This is for the wolves who never fight
For Hakkaku and Ginta who seem to be bright
Shard hunt's getting hard make no mistake
Collectin' the pieces
And then it had to break
It's my sword
It's now or never
You ain't gonna live forever
I just want to yell out my attacks
(For omake tracks)
My sword is like a giant fang, hey
I never thought
That it could decay
I just wanna yell out my attacks
For omake tracks
Better make a pose for the pre-fight banter
Don't cry, don't falter, Inu, don't be silent
It's my sword
It's now or never
You ain't gonna live forever
I just want to yell out my attacks
(For omake tracks)
My sword is like a giant fang, hey
I never thought
That it could decay
I just wanna yell out my attacks
For omake tracks

(At least, I *think* the correct word was omake...)

[Kage Bunshin]

LOL

Too funny! Haven't heard/seen that yet...

I got sources from IYF forums!
As for Manga... I only found translations html form.
I'm gunna try that Ear-Tweak

[Blayze]

Ear-Tweak has scans for the latest eight chapters (Bandwith restrictions) :P

[Wave]

heh, nice to see somone made a thread about this. though, i'm sorta disappointed about how it ended. ah well. the shimintai (sp?) are the best :P

[Phantasmagoria]

>.>...


-.- end....;.;

i showed this anime to my friend and she's OBSESSED now...i kinda regret showing her ^^;; but eh...always nice to introduce someone to a great anime

[Kage Bunshin]

Heh...
Its way not over...
*waits patiently for Inuyasha 4 the movie*

[Freija the Dick]

ok, i dont read the manga but the anime serie ended little strange nothin concluded so i think there will be a Inuyasha season 2, Or the movie will settle things.
like inuyasha kills naraku and so on

[Blayze]

Treat the movies as anime filler. They settle NOTHING. Nothing changes.

Inuyasha will return (Hey, why would it NOT? It makes money :P), but apparently nobody knows exactly what as.

Maybe another full anime series, maybe OVA...

[Kage Bunshin]

I wouldn't mind seeing a series about Shippo as a teenager!

[cute_jay]

hi anyone here watch this anime? i find it nice lolx...... :smile-big
any websites i can download the anime? like bittorrent.?

bittorent i wan to download like naruto wan....i mean 1 eps for 1 eps....like juz only 1 episodes......

of 5 episodes.....at one time....i dun wan whole lots of torrents.....

[Chopstickx]

there are packs of naruto (like 10 eps?) but i doubt it will work that well cuz there are barely any seeders for those =/

there are packs of inuyasha too but i forgot where i got mine :blink

[IkariBattousai]

Animesuki.com has 25 Episode packs of Naruto for Bit Torrent, I don't really like Takahasi stuff though so I can't help you with Inu Yasha.

[cute_jay]

oic.....any way thx!

[Crucifixation]

I was a fan of InuYasha. But it got on my nerves when the manga shot over 40 volumes and shows no sign of stopping.

[Sesshoumaru]

I was a fan of InuYasha. But it got on my nerves when the manga shot over 40 volumes and shows no sign of stopping.


You can't handle it. It's too real for you.

[Hayabusa]

I was a fan of InuYasha. But it got on my nerves when the manga shot over 40 volumes and shows no sign of stopping.
I heard people are getting bored of it.

[IkariBattousai]

It's a common trend with Takahasi's works. That's what happened to me with Ranma. I occaisonally enjoy catching an episode here and there but it seems to me as though (and this is just from my observation) 60% of the episodes have no plot development or anything.

[Naruto_Uzumaki]

im a fan to but Narutos better :wOOt

[nigggs]

inuyasha......

isohunt.com

thats all you need.

[Chiyo_chan]

I never git really bored, I love it...^^it's one of my favs :D

[ichigo7]

I'm a Inuyasha fan. I have eps 1-1oo something. If you what i could try and e-mail them to you. If you what to talk more about inuyasha just e-mail me at gogeta3235@yahoo.com, that includes everyone there.

[KK]

Inu Yasha is one of my favorite animes ever...actually one of the very first I truly liked. i do have to say i like Naruto a LOT better hehe...maybe that's because the Inu Yasha anime series has already ended :sad

[cute_jay]

hi.....again
can i know where i can get the japanese movie 1? cos i got the english wan....but i dun like the dubbed...so can someone help me wif the jap? where i can get tat?

[KoumaKyuuKetsuki]

I like InuYasha a lot, but I have'nt seen the end of it yet so I don't want to spoil it or anything.

[¤Naruto-Kun¤]

Haven't read the manga for some time now, and will probably have to try and find the new ones (got a good resourse for it?).

man i felt dissapointed, I wished the serious would have gone on longer..him and kagome (sorry for mis-spelling) would have had more of an adventure...I mean after they recover'd some more fragments of the jewel, there has to be something more they could have done..

[nigggs]

from what i heard, the anime ended on a cliff hanger, it was inconclusive, however i heard the manga is still carrying on the series, anyone have links to the manga or what not, please hook a anime bro up! :smile-big

[Blayze]

www.ear-tweak.com (http://www.ear-tweak.com)

Manga enough for you? :P

[Raegan]

It's a common trend with Takahasi's works. That's what happened to me with Ranma. I occaisonally enjoy catching an episode here and there but it seems to me as though (and this is just from my observation) 60% of the episodes have no plot development or anything.

Woah, Inuyasha is made by the same guy who made Ranma, explains y i find the animation familiar.

Still, it sucks tat the TV station at where I stay is gonna stop showing Inuyasha in place of hellsing. Anynody here knows where I can download Inuyasha?

[Blayze]

The episodes? Hmm... well, at www.anime-4ever.org (http://www.anime-4ever.org) you can find episodes 1-69 (I think). They're dual-audio DVD-rips. At www.anime-kraze.org (http://www.anime-kraze.org) you can find episodes 81-167 (Hopefully, providing whatever problem they have that my friend told me about has gone). They're Naruto-style subs.

Yes, I know there's a gap. Ever since certain sites went down, there's been no place I know of where you can download the missing episodes. Just wait for a4e to catch up to A-K :P

Hey many thanks for the help man. AND MERRY X MAS TO U!

[Jh1stgen]

I'm getting tired of this show ... how much longer are they gona journey and fight weak youkai(s) to find Naraku? Inuyasha does the same shyt every time ... Kaze No Kizu and bb, episode ends .... and for nxt episode, it's the same crap over and over again

[Blayze]

I'm just waiting for Inuyasha to get released from the curse. Scratch that, I'm waiting for Kagome to CONSIDER releasing him.

[Narutofan580]

If you want to know about the final epsoide and the movie go to go to www.furinkan.com then click down to rumicworld then go to inuyasha then go to anime.You will find what you need.

[Chopstickx]

inu-yasha is pretty good =P but i was kinda disappointed at the end... :oh

[Blayze]

All they did was fast-forward the plot slightly so that they could put the anime on hiatus... probably until the manga gets far enough ahead for them to need little to no *shudder* filler.

[nigggs]

www.ear-tweak.com (http://www.ear-tweak.com)

Manga enough for you? :P

thanks a bundle! :thumbs

[Itachi_like_to_kill]

Inu Yasaha is da best takashi is da great anyone here play inu yasha the secret of the curse mask

[iinanimate]

i just saw the end, what a dissappointment. it was abrupt and out of place, and it resolved nothing. narakus still alive, kagura, kikyo and kohaku werent dealt with, nothing happened w/ inuyasha and kagome and sessomaru is still wandering around. bleh, what a waste of time. does anybody know if the manga goes past this part?

[drgnclwk]

well, i never got a chance to watch all of it, but my friend did, and he keeps reading the manga (so yea, the manga does go past the anime ending)

[Omote Renge]

I heard that there were going to be Inuyasha movies that expanded on the ending. Don't quote me on that though, I'm not much of a fan of Inuyasha. I watch it occasionally but I'm not really that into it.

[Jh1stgen]

I saw the anime of the last epi like 3 months ago lol =Pp ... and yes it frickened sucked. Why? Bc the anime are total retards that ruined Inuyasha for me n prolly for all the fans bc of those stupid amount of fillers! Movie 1 n 2 suked butt, but 3 was aight since it tells us about Inutaisho. Movie 4 is in the top 10 in Japan, so it should be relatively good

[Zeno]

Yeah it was pretty bad, although at least the manga is still going on. Luckily the ending was great for the IY game I created, helped the storyline.

[Vodrake]

I thought the last two episodes were good, but just not as an end of a series. And really, what would you prefer for an anime, some filler episodes, or a break with no episodes for a few months whilst the manga gets far enough ahead again?

[Jh1stgen]

What are you talking about? There was and still is a large amount of gap between the anime and manga that doesn't require fillers to space the two apart. That's why in the end ... they rushed the series and skipped parts in the manga

[Vodrake]

What are you talking about? There was and still is a large amount of gap between the anime and manga that doesn't require fillers to space the two apart. That's why in the end ... they rushed the series and skipped parts in the manga

Speculation: Using the example of the last two episodes, when they aired, the manga was around 22 chapters ahead. Lets say each anime episode takes up two manga chapters (Including those manga chapters that don't even make it into the anime), in about 20 weeks (not taking into account any breaks by Takahashi-sensei or the anime), the anime would have caught up. which would be in two weeks time. So if the anime was still going, they probably would need a filler around now.

However, none of the above's really relevant as the anime has actually finished apart from some rumored OVA's sometime in the future. The point I was trying to make was about past fillers, and how (most likely), they were inserted at points where the anime was catching up to the manga.

I agree that the series was rushed though, and I still don't know the reason why they stopped the anime anyway

[Aethos]

It's a Takahashi anime. It's to be expected that they'd supposedly end it half way through. I mean look at Ranma 1/2 they ended the anime at the half way point.

[Zeno]

Yeah, not sure why they ended it. I mean, yes another anime was to take over that timeslot, but why end it first of all. They could do another filler series to widen the gap between the manga and anime.

[KK]

i really liked Inu Yasha and was VERY disappointed when i saw the last episode. it was way too open-ended - at least kill naraku! blah. the three movies were ok, but i really would have liked to see the kohaku/sango problem resolved; as well as the kagura problem (i felt bad for her :sad ).

[Arcanis]

i liked inuyasha a lot before, but now i hate it...and that ending was one of the reasons <_<

[Wave]

heh, i merged the thread into this one.

[Raegan]

Well, where i Come from, they have stopped showing Inuyasha at since ep 26. Instead they are now showing hellsing.

[narutofan20052005]

This sucks, i really wanted to see the anime catch up

[Ssj3_Goku]

Does kagome and inuyasha get alot closer? i mean i seen te episode called where we first meet and that bitch kikyo like made inuyasha pick her but i dont think it ends like this please inform ME! i dont care about getting spoiled i just need to know if they fall more deeply in love with each other.

Thx.

[Smitty]

To put it simply, yes. Although InuYasha always has Kikyo in the back of his mind

*edit* whaaaa? my ninja rank is spirited loser :sad I got owned.

[Ssj3_Goku]

Ah good good. In any of the episodes does it realy show them falling for each other more? and does kikyo find out that he likes kagome more?

[Mindless]

Well. They do get closer, and they do love eachother. Too bad they are not so good at expressing their feelings to eachother. Inuyasha's love talk: "BAKA!" (idiot), Kagome's love talk: "Osuwari!" (sit!). That's kinda the closest they get.

But deep inside, they do love eachother. And no, Kikyo dosen't know about Kagome and Inuyasha getting closer, and she wouldn't care. (You will see why)

And just to let you know, are you really serious about watching 110 episode's of re-cap? Because that's what Inuyasha is after ep50-something. The same all the time.

But if you are a Inuyasha fan, I guess you should watch it. I like the characters in it but it's just... wrong. After they meet the bad guy, it's just like you are watching the same episodes all over again. He get's a new attack, kills a yber-monster, gets a new attack, kills a yber-monster.

*repeat what I said above 3 times to fill up all the 167 episodes*

It's quite sad but that's how I thought the anime was. :sad

[Ssj3_Goku]

yea i plan to so far im up to episode 63. I just love it when they are together and all its pretty cool.

I just hope to see them more together and all thats all. like in movie one and when she kissed him in movie 2. oo its all good.

I just think of it a love triangle thats what got me hooked on it how she loves inuyasha so much and keeps coming back to that era.

[rikku]

btw, is the inuyasha finished??? i am up to episod 75 and nothing is really happening..it gets really repetitive.....:wink

[Mithrandil]

The anime is finished yes, at least according to iy4ever fansubs (they did the last episodes)

[freegood]

Inu Yasha became a waste of time. Rumiko Takakashi doesn't know when to quit...

[Mindless]

freegood put it very good. The first 70 or so episodes are quite OK. After that, it's the same all the time, quite disturbing.

The full anime is 167 episodes. If they where to 'complete' it, it would be at least 200+ episodes. Why do I say 'complete'? Because it's probably more unfinished than the Berserk anime that stopped airing because ep25 was too bloody. You have to read the manga to understand the end. But you can't do that with Inuyasha. Inuyasha just has a silly and stupid ending. Something like "We will chase them forever and we will win!"

*THE END*

Not really like that, but almost.

[Ssj3_Goku]

Well as long as inuyasha gets kagome thats good enough for me. hehe.

[nigggs]

well, at least the manga isnt cancelled, right?

[Blitzomaru]

In movie #2, Kagome actually kisses Inuyasha, and he returns the kiss. Though that was just a movie. There is an episode in the anime, though I don't know which one. Kagome was captured by some Naraku clone and the clone said that Inuyasha was at the center of her heart. And she admitted something about being in love with InuYasha.

[Ssj3_Goku]

Cool she admited to inuyasha? when he was their?

[Mindless]

Oh how I remember that scene. Kagome saying she can't be captured and ruled over by Naraku because "I LOVE INUYASHA" *Inuyasha crashes trough the wall, and of course, he didn't hear Kagome*. How dissapointed I was.

[Ssj3_Goku]

danm any cuddleing up at all in that episode?? i love to see more of that.

[rikku]

wut exactly happen at the end??? wut become of kikyo??? btw, i like her hair and her clothes :P

i know wut i asked for will be a spoiler...can someone who knows the ending type it in white???? thank u. i am too lazy to watch it...it's tooo repetitive. i watched the last 75 episods just for the sake or seishoumaru sama...:love

[Blitzomaru]

Ending of InuYasha SPOILER!!!

Naraku has all but one shikon shard. The remaining shard is carried by kagome. Naraku can't be truly destroyed because he heart is no longer in his body, so InuYasha and the gang search for Naraku's heart. It seems an ordinary human is unknowning the keeper of naraku's heart. After his heart is discovered, Naraku lures InuYasha and the gang inside of an giant Oni statue. Once it the statue's stomach, naraku brings it to life and waits for the stomach acid to dissolve everything but the shikon shard Kagome carreis. InuYasha tries his Kongosouha (new Tessaiga attack where he shoots diamond shards), but to no affect. He has Kagome give him the remaining shikon shard and puts it onto Tessaiga. He starts turning into a demon because the shard becomes inpure because ot the jyaki inside the oni's stomach. Kagome grabs hold of InuYasha and gets her ankles injured by the stomach acid, but it brings Inuyasha back to his normal self. He breaks everyone out of the Oni's stomach, and Naraku escapes. They go back to Kaede's village, and InuYasha admits he needs to become stronger so he can protect Kagome. Kagome tells INuyasha that she is glad she's with him. InuYasha doesn't say it out loud, but he thinks the same thing The End.

[Shade]

Who would win between these two characters?
Inuyasha has his tetsusaiga and Kenshin has god-like speed and all those different styles..

:huh

[BattousaiMS]

Wrong section, but Kenshin would own Inuyasha.

[Lee Rock]

Well, the Kaze no Kizu can destroy entire hordes of demons and topple mountains with one swing of the sword. I really don't think Kenshin can do much against that.

[Lee Rock]

And just to let you know, are you really serious about watching 110 episode's of re-cap? Because that's what Inuyasha is after ep50-something. The same all the time.

But if you are a Inuyasha fan, I guess you should watch it. I like the characters in it but it's just... wrong. After they meet the bad guy, it's just like you are watching the same episodes all over again. He get's a new attack, kills a yber-monster, gets a new attack, kills a yber-monster.

*repeat what I said above 3 times to fill up all the 167 episodes*

It's quite sad but that's how I thought the anime was. :sad
The anime does get a little reptitive after a while, though I thought the Shinchinintai arc was pretty darn good. It sucks to, because the anime ended just as stuff was getting good. Oh well, at least I have the manga. :)

And to answer the topic, if you've seen the second movie you've seen as far as it goes. Inuyasha and Kagome settle into a relationship where they care about each other but don't really acknowledge it out loud (in other words don't expect them to be getting all smoochy)

[Smitty]

Well, the Kaze no Kizu can destroy entire hordes of demons and topple mountains with one swing of the sword. I really don't think Kenshin can do much against that.

As long as Kenshin is no threat to anyone around InuYasha then he couldnt use the full power of the tetsuiaga (sp?)


Kenshin would own his life

[Shishou]

Inuyasha... Simply because he is part Demon, and can destroy mountains and such with his sword.

Not to mention Kenshin doesn't kill.

[BakaKage]

Kenshin would win only because i'm more of a Kenshin fan than a Inuyasha fan :p

[Yoruichi]

My vote goes to Kenshin.

If Kenshin comes across him as a human, it's Kenshin hands down. If not Kenshin can either use jewel shards(;)) to up his speed and sakabato and destroy him or just dodge all of Inuyasha's attacks until he's close enough to take him down.

[Son_Pan]

KENSHIN!

even tho, i luv inuyasha, kenshin is the BEST ever! and he can SURE handle a sword better than any other person

[Shishou]

Meh, this one happens to be a popularity contest over actual facts.

The only person in Kenshin who could take down someone as strong as Inuyasha, would be Hiko Seijiru. And thats because he IS god.

[Ssj3_Goku]

Comparing moves and what they can do. Inuyasha will win. Plus being half deamon is a big boost.

[striderxl]

inuyasha. hes a demon o.O;; and he has that the windscar :(. and if kenshin were to use do ryu sen inuyasha could just use his backlash wave :'(

[kakoishii]

Kenshin will definitely win. Even though the tetseigua is a powerful sword Inuyasha is all brute strength and lacks the abilitly to think ahead and devise good strategies. In other words while Inuyasha would be slashing his sword around (hitting and missing). Kenshin with his super speed and intuitive perception would be able to anticipiate Inuyasha's swing (Inuyasha is sooo predictable) and maybe not kill him considering his ideals but he would incapacitate him so he wouldn't be able to keep fighting.

[silent_speech]

I vote Kenshin... because Inuyasha is all about brute force and no tactics at all. Yes, Inuyasha does have the Kaze no Kizu which can decimate mountains and stuff, but I believe Kenshin's godspeed and strategy will be more than enough to at least break Inuyasha's arms and legs or something. (besides, I'm more of a Kenshin fan than an Inuyasha fan)

[Raegan]

is this a serious question?
Course Kenshin rules hands down!

[kyubinaruto75]

umm lets seee.... a 1/2 demon thats killed million of full demons with a huge ass powerful sword vs. a regular human that has godlike speed and l337 skills and a sword that cannot kill .... in case u didnt get the sarcasism im saying inuyasha is going to win

[Chillin]

Kenshin's the man and all, but I'd have to give it to Inuyasha. Nothing Kenshin does would be able to harm Inuyasha due to him being half demon. Kenshin could probably beat the hell out of Inuyasha, but that doesn't matter because blunt damage is practically useless against Inuyasha. He'll keep getting up and I know eventually Kenshin would tire and IY's chances of hitting him would be much greater. I don't see any chances for Kenshin to win unless he decided to kill him off the bat (which would never happen). Then one Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki would do the job.

[xenex]

Unless kenshin is doing his best to kill Inuyasha (which he won't) he won't do much damage to Inuyasha. Most people have already said the reasons I would vote for him so I'll leave it at that.

[Sasuto]

I'd say kenshin, Even if i never saw one episode of kenshin :P ...I don't really like inuyasha...maybe mecause i only saw some episodes of it in the first season..( i think)

Anyway, i heard that kenshin is mroe about tactic and all so..inuyasha haha :P...no just joking i really dont know


i just wanted to ask if there's anyone that know where i can download KENSHIN!! ( the anime of course lol)

[Darkreapyr]

umm lets seee.... a 1/2 demon thats killed million of full demons with a huge ass powerful sword vs. a regular human that has godlike speed and l337 skills and a sword that cannot kill .... in case u didnt get the sarcasism im saying inuyasha is going to win

Heh hes killed lots of crappy demons and maybe a dozen or so that were semi diffucult. I think kenshin would have no problem dispatching all the same demons as him. The monk has killed pleanty of demons himself it doesnt take much to be a demon-slayer. I'd say a human in kenshins world is = to a demon in inuyashas world. Gah I can't remember all the names off the top of my head but preety much every bad guy kenshin took down had their own special moves or "powers" whatever. I'd think kenshin would easily win due to the fact hes a fricking battle genius. They are both good guys though so it would prolly be a draw.

[Mindless]

Well.

Kenshin would win. Why?

Kenshin can move so fast that he dissapears and then kick your ass. He may not have super-destructive attacks as Kaze no Kizu or Bakuryuuha or the Kongousoha (think that was the crystal-shard attack's name), but surely he has skill and speed on his side. So, Kenshin would win.

[Shishou]

People need to stop basing their vote, solely on who they like better.


You can like Yahiko better than Sesshoumaru. But that doesn't mean Yahiko will win.

[NekkiBasara]

im going to base my vote on the truth...the truth.... unfortunately for all you inuyasha fans...is that inuyasha compared to kenshin is like comparing mr satan to vegeta...... sakura to sasuke.....kiddy grade to neon genesis....ill stop now before people show up at my house with pitch forks, guns and fire.....to have 2 fan favorite characters each created by different manga writers...theres no way someone can have a vote that isnt biased...even if we got watsuki and takahashi here to give us their opinions on who would win...well you know...it would be the same shit...but fuck that....kenshin would tear inuyasha up...just bring out the bathosai eyes...and inuyasha would instantly revert back to bitch form....and get bitched up...raw and uncut....

[BlitzTidus]

Well id say Normal Inuyasha vs Normal Kenshin = Inuyasha is the winner.
Normal Inuyasha vs Battousai Kenshin = Kenshin is the winner.
Full Demon Inuyasha vs Battousai Kenshin = Inuyasha is the winner.

[cute_jay]

ya...
in singapore...arts central rite? i also watch there and it stopped....now very boring...and the starhub cable tv got show the movies....but i dun really like becops of the dub....
btw...

i juz come forth tat my scv or starhub cable tv got inuyasha movie...can i know how many are there? is juz like now i watch only 2...but my friend said got 3 or 4 like ....tat..

[Blayze]

There are four Inuyasha movies. Last time I checked, only the first two had been dubbed.

[cute_jay]

oh i see....
so where can i get the first two? i juz wan subbed....i dun like dubs.....

[CanidateForGoddess]

LOL this topic has come up in every forum i have been in oh well ill respond in this way

(they wouldent fight) Kenshin wouldnt fight him and Kagome wouldnt have it either.

BUT: if they did for some odd reason :blink Inu would win because he is a half demon... i think... of course im not a fan of inuyasha either... so dont think im playin favorites :smile-big

[Blayze]

I think Anime-Kraze might have the second and third movies, but you might have to go with a4e and put up with the dub for the first one. No idea about the fourth one though.

[Annihilation]

kenshin would win.........but not series kenshin OVA1 kenshin.......it would be no contest.....

[Chillin]

For the record Kenshin after training with Hiko is stronger and more skilled than any Battousai Kenshin.

[riku_1022]

I would vote for Inu-Yasha because just like CanidateForGoddess said, he is a half demon after all, and he can probably take more hits than Kenshin can. On the other hand, Kenshin is much faster that Inu.... anyways, I would still think that Inu would win.

[BuTteRflyXofXBLossoMs]

i think Kenshin would win ^^

[Tenderfoot]

Just started watching Inuyahsha episodes but bitorrent,to be exact boxtorrents tracker is going really slow anyone know other places where i can get Inuyasha episode downloads please help me out.

Talk about bad timing ... Inuyasha has like 156 episodes and ppl now generally don't seed it nemore

[Ssj3_Goku]

www.lordinuyasha.com should have them on direct download :) Subbed.

[Tenderfoot]

Thank you so much for your feedback and help guys ^_^ well appriciated

[MechaTC]

merge time!! XD

[Tenderfoot]

I'm sorry i forgot to check if there was a topic like this already

[Zeff]

I was disapointed about the ending but anime would continue later on

[Jh1stgen]

Pretty good movie from what ive to say

[TenshiOni]

Any sense of closure in the movie?

[Kucheeky Badkuya]

Wasn't all of the Inuyasha movies released?

I don't bother watching the Inuyasha movies most of them in fact all of them have no contact with the plot of the show.

[Utz]

There's a 4th Inuyasha movie? o.O

[Kucheeky Badkuya]

There's a 4th Inuyasha movie? o.O

There are 7 movies total.

They said the last one conculdes the show.

[me_is_david]

omg 4th?
geezes...haha I remember I saw a trailer for this though.
Personally I think the 3rd one was the best one =)

[8thGateGai]

Were can you DL the 3rd movie??

[Utz]

I think the 3rd movie is out on video for rental from like Blockbuster or Hollywood Video.

[Ha-ri]

There are 7 movies total.

They said the last one conculdes the show.

7? What are the other 3?

[me_is_david]

The 3rd movie hasn't been released I think.
I think it had a release date of next month

but I got it from Ani-Kraze's website
I duno if we'er allowed to post it but ehre http://tracker.danomac.org/a-kraze/

[Fuuma Kotaro]

what's inuyasha like i have never seen it but still i'm Downloading the movie i love anime

[Raistlin-sama]

Ok, just to clear some things up...

There are only 4 movies not 7, i don't know where you got that from

Without having seen this movie, i can tell you for sure that there will be no closure, unless they are making their own ending to the series...

Since the manga is still going. So the most likely is that when the manga is finished they wil continue the anime or do ovas (like HxH) or just not end the anime at all

[8thGateGai]

The 3rd movie hasn't been released I think.
I think it had a release date of next month

but I got it from Ani-Kraze's website
I duno if we'er allowed to post it but ehre http://tracker.danomac.org/a-kraze/
Thanks. I love IY movies there actually not that bad. I try DL the 4th one but some Error message came up. :notrust damn BIT Torrent.

[Misk]

The 4th Movie was decent better than the 1st but like everyone else the 3rd is my favorite movie

[Ha-ri]

I personally thought the ending to the 3rd movie was a bit rushed, but the rest of teh movie was great.

[kreutzerlove]

I'm downloading this right now.. hopefully it will be good

There are only 4 movies, the 3rd is by far the best and is my favorite, I bought it off ebay last year and it has shitty subtitles but I dont care :blink

[Umbra]

Thanks for the headsup on this, i probably wouldnt have noticed otherwise.

At the moment there are only 4 inuyasha movies and none of them provide the closure your probably looking for...not until the manga ends at least.

The third is my favorite, nothing can beat Inu no Taishou

The 3rd movie comes out dubbed in Early Spetember, i think the 2nd or 6th but its been awhile since i last saw the date

[Raistlin-sama]

So... Now i have seen it.

It is pretty good (better then the Naruto movie at least...) but the 3rd movie is still my favorite. Since this essentially feels like good filler with good animation. But oh well Sesshoumaru kicked some ass, so who cares...? :laugh

[Kakashi_Love]

I love Inuyasha, it was one of the best anime I've ever seen. I was dissapointed at the ending since it was so inconclusive. I mean, c'mon...what the hell happen to Naraku???
I've never seen an anime movie that I like. Anime movies are like horrible fillers. They have nothing at all to do with the storyline and they offer nothing new to the plot development. One of the Inuyasha movie even show Naraku defeated within seconds of the opening. I was like WTF??!! The whole series was about trying to defeat him and now he dies within seconds of the opening. PUKE!
Anyways, I would love to see more of the love development between Kikyo and Naraku. Also Sango and Miroku. Funny, I use to date a guy just like Miruko. He never changed. I hope Miruko does. Sango might of been better off with that prince, he was cute!!! I wonder will Rin ever grow up? Will she be with Sesshomaru???
Kikyo is my fav. char in Inuyasha. She's so cool. Makes me want to learn archery. Naraku loves her...he's always spying on her, *sigh* Why can't he just allow himself to LOVE her. I wonder if she would get on with his clones instead. We need to see Onigumo's face as much as we need to see Kakashi's!!!

[jingles]

The ending for the series was plain. I heard MOvie 4 was an continuation so I hope it will be more sastifying since I didnt watch movie 4 yet.

[Jh1stgen]

Actually the 4th movie (which is already subbed out) ... you heard wrong. It's not a continuation but it's really good from my opinion

[qOcOp]

Where can i DL this...Inuyasha?

[Kucheeky Badkuya]

This band of Seven Saga is really getting boring.

[Misk]

I hear they are going to end the series with a movie

[Jh1stgen]

Nope ... they're not. That is a false rumor. As you can see, the manga is still going. And it's not even close to be finished. Naraku is still well and alive, so ya, dont believe everything u hear

[Kucheeky Badkuya]

They are going to end it in the manga which isn't full finished.

(The search function wasn't working, so I'm sorry if this has been asked before.)

Does anyone where to download the InuYasha OSTs? Thanks in advance for your help! - MnK

[Dannyz]

nipponsei.

[Tsunayoshi]

nipponsei.
Thanks for the help, but could you give me a link? When I googled it, I didn't find any actual OSTs (a few singles, but not whole OSTs). So, I didn't see it, but just in case I overlooked it, could you give me a link? - MnK

[Chopstickx]

you could get the whole batch at boxtorrents, but you have to sign up:
http://boxtorrents.com/details.php?id=11366

orr search "inuyasha OST" here:

nipponsei is a irc channel on rizon. that is prolly the best place to get ost's other than your local music store. i am guessing you dun know very much about irc so i guess you need an actual direct download website. well there is a whole stickied thread telling you where to go to get anime music so i dun know why you would make a extra thread about this but... here you go.

[mathurin]

hey i was wondering if some one could tell me where to download full inuyasha episodes.
i checked the sticky for full episodes, but none of the sites have inuyasha, i am downloading season one right now, on bittorent but its bad, i have been useing it sence tuesday(left my cpu on day and night) and its only at 59.2%. If some one could tell me a website that will let you download them useing ftp i would greatly appreciate it b/c i h8 bt. but if there is none i could use a better file for the episodes. thank you

[Chopstickx]

hmm if you're looking for some non-bitorrent d/ls then i think you're gonna have a hard time =\

but as for better quality eps, which subber are you using for it right now?

[mathurin]

i am useing bitlord 1.1
and downloading it from datorrents.com

[Kagalli]

i don't know of any direct downloads for inuyasha. The best bet is sticking with bittorrent. And since Inuyasha's been out for such a long time already, it's gonna be hard to find alot if any seeders for the earlier episodes.

http://www.anime-kraze.org/index.php?page=releases has all the episodes along with batch torrents for the series... but like I said, theres probably not gonna a lot of seeders.

[Kucheeky Badkuya]

www.boxtorrents.com

Box Torrents, I think has Inuyasha. If not, just google, 'Inuyasha episodes Direct Download'

[mathurin]

ya i was thinking of buying the episodes off ebay or something

[ff4930]

those torrents u just have to have patience. I remember dling all of inuyasha and it took ever so long but is bound to finish.

[Firedraconian]

A friend of mine made me watch Inuyasha on Cartoon Network and it actually looks pretty cool. But I'd much rather watch the sub, so I looked online, but all I can find are episodes 80+ (ani-kraze) or old and abandoned torrents. Is there anywhere I can torrent or download all the episodes, from the beginning?

[Kagalli]

You can check out BoxTorrents.com but you gotta register first. They have torrents available by season batches. :)

[Firedraconian]

Blast. They might have it, but I can't sign up because they're at their member limit or something. Figures.

[Excalibur]

I think that the batches on www.torrentspy.com are the subbed versions unless specified as "english" or "dubbed"

[OniTasku]

You could always try http://thepiratebay.org/ (www.piratebay.org), as they usually tend to give you a few sites and different subbers.

[TheVileOne]

Don't waste your time with Inuyasha. The show is garbage and a pointless waste of time.

[VyseTheNice]

Don't listen to TheVileOne, 'cuz he is lying! InuYasha is awesome, and that's really all there is to it.

[rosesmary]

I'm addicted to InuYasha. I watched it hundred times. This site may be a bit slow but really good.
http://free.hostultra.com/~fluffysgurl/inuyasha.php

[P-I-M-P]

for all you who know how yu yu hakusho rank there demons please come, give your opinion.

but for all you who dont know it works like this.
its broken up into six classes S, A, B, C, D, E and within each class there's a high(+), medium(normal) and low(-) rank.

S+, S, S- <- S class being strongest

A+, A, A-

B+, B, B-

C+, C, C-

D+, D, D-

E+, E, E- <- E class being weakest


i would rank it like this:

inuyasha B+
sesshomaru S
kagome C
koga B+
sango C-
miruko C
shippo E-
naraku S

[TheVileOne]

Don't listen to TheVileOne, 'cuz he is lying! InuYasha is awesome, and that's really all there is to it.

No I'm not. Its 167 of pointless bullshit.

Nothing fucking happens or changes. A complete fucking waste of time

[Gene]

Inuyasha is probably a C+ right now.
Sesshomaru would be a B-.
Koga would be a C.
The humans are somewhere around the D range.
And I don't know where Naraku stands since I haven't seen him fight that much. Probably higher than B right now.

[Chamcham Trigger]

I got my sub collection from torrentspy. type in inuyasha, then look for whatever you can find. There's a certain group that you should see with the later sets listed. Copy that name and paste that name specifically and you should find the older sets they made as well.

[Weltallgaia]

What is the song and artist for the current ending for inuyasha on adult swim. Normally I've disliked the songs they use but damn its a beatifull one and i love it.

[Weltallgaia]

Does anyone know what the name of the song and artist are of the current inuyasha ending in the dub airing on adult swim.

[Elite]

If anyone wants direct downloads for Inuyasha. This site has it...http://www.bsx-anime.com/episodes/episodes/eps/Inuyasha/100/
It only has 100+ though. They're rm files btw so you need realplayer or media player classic to play them.

Does anyone know what the name of the song and artist are of the current inuyasha ending in the dub airing on adult swim.
I'm not sure what episode it's on but I assume it's around the 130s or 140s.I think the song you want is Come by Namie Amuro.

Here's a list of the ending themes for Inuyasha.

#1: "My Will" by Dream (eps 01-20,166-167)
#2: "Fukai Mori" by Do As Infinity (eps 21-41)
#3: "Dearest" by Ayumi Hamasaki (eps 42-60)
#4: "Every Heart - Minna no Kimochi" by Boa (eps 61-85)
#5: "Shinjitsu no Uta" by Do As Infinity (eps 86-108)
#6: "Itazurana Kiss" by day after tomorrow (eps 109-127)
#7: "Come" by Namie Amuro (eps 128-148)
#8: "Brand-New World" by V6 (eps 149-165)

Can you be more specific with what episodes you want? Well this site has episodes 100-167 subbed. It use to have all of them but they removed the ones under 100. Not sure why. This is the only site I know of that has Inuyasha downloads.
http://www.bsx-anime.com/episodes/episodes/eps/Inuyasha/100/
Direct downloads...


Edit_+
If you go on their forum, you can request from members to upload what ever episode you want.

Yeah that's what I said in my first post. But you still need the 100+ episodes though, right? Cuz you said you need 1-current. In my first post. I suggested that you could go on the forum and request for someone to upload the earlier Inuyasha episodes. There's a section in the forum that is just for requesting. You can try that.:amuse

And yeah I like my avatar too. Thanks.smile-big

[Spectre01]

You people download anime and don't know about www.mininova.org? It has the largest collection of anime. Anyways, search for Inuyasha and you'll find what you want.

Oh...my..freaking...gosh....I find ONE place on the net to get Inuyasha torrents...and forget to...BOOKMARK IT. >_>

[laree_23]

Does anybody think they'll at least make an OAV of Inuyasha.I hope so or at least continue making movies. What do you guys think?

[MartialHorror]

lol, good question.

Imo,

InuYasha- B+/A-
Naraku- S-
Seshomauru- S
Koga- B+

Miroku/Sango- C+/B-
Kagome- C-/C
Shippo- E-

[Masaki]

Shippo - < D Rank.
Inuyasha before Tetsaiga - D rank
Inuyasha with Tetsaiga - D+ rank
Inuyasha with Wind Scar - C rank
Inuyasha with Backlash Wave - C+
Inuyasha with barrier breaking skills - B-
Full Demon Inuyasha - C+/B-
Sesshomaru - C-
Sesshomaru with that kickass sword - B+
Koga - C
Koga after losing the jewel in arm - C-
Naraku - B+/A- (don't feel like going through his many stages)
Kagura - C
Kanna - D+

And people, note that humans aren't techically counted on the demon scale.

[Ha-ri]

Inuyasha C+
Sesshomaru B+
Koga C-
Humans D

[Fenix]

Hard to say...

Depends on what you mean by using the YYH scale, if you mean relatively speaking...like the most powerful in their respective universe is ranked as S class...or you mean strictly using the YYH scale to measure Inu Yasha people...

[jkingler]

You see, it is pretty sweet for about 50 episodes, but then it goes downhill, FAST! So aside from the gorgeous ED sequences, steer clear of this if you can help it. Here are some reasons you should listen to me:

1) The main villain's name is Naraku, and Naraku is now synonymous with "coward who runs away all the time." At least in my book. He creates minions, sends them off to fight the protagonists, and then, on that rare occasion, when he actually runs into the good guys, he might fight for a little bit, but he always runs away.

Naraku and his minions (and other random baddies) turn this show into something resembling Sailor Moon and its baddie of the week formula. The only real difference is that there are some recurring baddies, namely Naraku. :rant

Honestly--worst villain ever.

2) If you watch enough of the anime, you will have nightmares about losing shikon shards.

If you don't know what shikon shards are, let me break it down for you. There was this tiny, spherical, jewel-like object called the Shikon no Tama. This little gem conveys an enormous amount of power unto its wielder. Or it did, until this happened:

In the beginning of the show, the good guys had the Shikon no Tama. Then dumbfuck Inuyasha stole it. Then Kagome shot it with an arrow and blasted it into a million fucking pieces (good going, idiot :notrust). Then, Inuyasha and some other good guys band together to get the pieces, called shikon shards, before the bad guys do! Gotta catch 'em all! :nuts

Those shikon shards take a long time to find, at least on the good guys' side, and they change hands so often it is ridiculous.

"Oh no, the villain has about 12 shikon shards!"
"Score, the good guys found one!"
"Oh shit, the villains have like 58 now!"
"Fuck! The good guys just lost theirs."

Etc. ad absurdum...

3) The show is not only long, but it is also horribly redundant.

If it were paced better, it would have ended in 56-72 episodes and it would probably be a much better anime. As it stands, though, Inuyasha spans 167 episodes. And a lot of the filler could have easily been cut out.

-No Inuyasha fighting 30 random youma
-No Miroku cleansing about 80 different residences of their resident ghosts
-No Naraku summoning minions and running away!!!

Those things honestly happened so often that I started to give my monitor a dead-pan glare whenever I saw them coming...

4) The thing I hate the most about Inuyasha is that it had potential to be a genuinely decent show.

Those first few seasons get your hopes up, and then the rest falls sooooo short of those hopes. The characters were interesting (esp. Miroku and Sesshoumaru, who are both awesome) and the story could have been great, but the show just took too long and took too roundabout a course to finish a story that started on a shaky premise (gotta catch 'em aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall!).

Once you get to about episode 90, if you can make it that far, you'll just feel so drained, dissappointed, and frustrated...Unless you enjoy the Naruto fillers. If you never got tired of seeing Naruto use the Rasengan, then Inuyasha might be right up your alley. :\

It's been over 2 years since I've watched any Inuyasha, and it still pisses me off when I think about it (which is usually when I watch .avi rips of the ED sequences). That should tell you a little about how infuriating this show will be if you are anything like me...

/end rant

[Ssj3_Goku]

i been reading the manga and they are extreamly close to killing naruku ( about danm time)

also the inuyasha movies are pretty good.

[jkingler]

Goddamn Naraku.../hate

Is the manga any better than the anime? I expect it would have to be. I pray that it is.

[ydraliskos]

I take it you burnt yourself on IY.. I did too, now I want those days of my life back ..

[jkingler]

Seriously. Give me back those hours! :cry

There are so many other awesome anime that I could have been watching back then.../wistful

[Jef88]

LooooL

jef is a happy man cause he doesnt Watch that much anime :knk
but i do make exceptions
but i aint gonna make one for this :P
thanks for the warning Joe :glomp

[Efraim Longstocking]

Didn't Inuyasha fall into fillers like Naruto did?

[ydraliskos]

Inuyasha feels like filler from beggining to end actually, even if it is canon >_>

[LynnAzure]

I've only watched a few episodes but never got into it

[jkingler]

Glad to hear it. I wish I had been so lucky. :arg

[Centuryslayer]

Like I read somwhere: "Inuyasha is DBZ for girls!" :nod

I personally hated the anime just from seeing a picture of it :P
made me want to vomit :sag

[earthshine]

ah yes, the show that seems to be entirely comprised of filler(even if its cannon)



they should have killed it off at like, 60 or so

[DeepThought]

ALL THE ANTAGONISTS ON THAT SHOW ARE COWARDS!
(and pretty boys.. not that there's anything wrong with that)


Naraku-" I will kill you Dog!"
InuYasha-"Fine, go ahead and try it"
Naraku-"mmm... not today" *run*

Sesshomaru-" I will kill you brother"
InuYasha-"Fine, go ahead and try it"
Sesshomaru-"mmm... not today" *run*

All the episodes are the same ... all the arcs are the same. They have like 5 themes being beat like a dead horse. They lose more shards than they find. The characters realationships never progress (Even though half the show IS the characters crushing on each other.)
BTW:
THEY NEVER DEFEAT NARAKU

[Chamcham Trigger]

lol basically it tried to have the length of ranma, with the progression of story like her other work...the one with lum, I can't spell it :arg....it's okay, but it's just getting really boring now.

[Niabingi]

Serious I just watched episode 3 of this series today.. I have already gone through the pains of dowloading it all and was quite enjoying it so far (except I do admit to being pissed off as soon as I saw the shikon no tama break as I knew it would end up being about finding all the pieces). I was wondering if anyone could give me a heads up as to which episodes are fillers cause I dont think I could sit through watching them all but I dont like not finishing something that I have started....

Or is it bad enough to cause me to just give up on it now before I really get in too deep?

[ydraliskos]

It's not bad... But by the time you reach episode hmm... 20.. you have seen everything the series has to offer. Just stop there and save time.

[OniTasku]

I'd probably recommend reading the manga, it's a bit more fluid and actually has a decent air about it. The anime is trepid in nearly every sense, minus the ED's which completely blow your mind. The only thing I ever really liked about the anime was the music. That is really it. =/

[Lord Yu]

Goddamn Naraku.../hate

Is the manga any better than the anime? I expect it would have to be. I pray that it is.


the manga is better because the fillers in the anime ruined the show..

so yes the manga is better and the story line is reaching its peak i am assuming its going to end soon.

[Lord Yu]

I hate inuyasha and the fangirls piss me off.

[Masaki]

The endings are really the only good things. For instance, the first one and the one called "Come". I only want to finish it to get it out of my hair already. Even the subbed episodes I normally watch once per week, and I only download them because I don't pay attention when its on AS. That is, back when it was on Saturday.

[Jink]

now you say ED Sequences, the only thing I know that stands for ED is Erectile Disfunction. What ED are you talking about? :huh

and yeah the first 26 episodes of Inuyasha we're great, rest blows hard penis. BTW you say Kikyo is the one who blew up the jewel, but it was Kagomey (however the fuck you spell it) AKA worst female character in any anime ever

[jkingler]

Ah, good point. Kagome and Kikyo are obviously similar in certain ways (:amuse), but Kikyo definitely kicks much more ass. I'll go change that bit now. :P

P.S. ED = Ending. Don't ask me why it is abbreviated that way. :oh

[Raistlin-sama]

Meh, I'll defend it, since nobody else does.

I'll start out by agreeing that it definitely isn't a groundbreaking or great show. However you are all over-reacting, it's not that bad.

What really makes Inuyasha is the characters. If you feel nothing for them, the show will do nothing for you. It is rather repetitive, however if we only look at the manga, new ideas are incorporated in the new story arks. I think it's reasonably enjoyable, although it becomes worse the more jaded an animefan you are. If it's one of your first shows, chances are you'll like it more than if you've seen 100 other anime-series.

The character relationships all evolve a little to slowly, however in the manga they do so steadily, and is pretty nicely written. The plot is not great, however it works for it's purposes, and manages to have various twists along the way.

In all honesty I think Inuyasha is properly Rumiko Takashi's worst manga-series so far, and that she should have kept to romantic/comedic series. Maison Ikkou, Urusei Yatsura and Ranma ½ are all better series. However I still don't think Inuyasha is bad, it just falls into the (higher) realms of mediocrity, whether as something like Maison Ikkou is a plain awesome series.

[jkingler]

Maison Ikkoku is fucking awesome. I hate that Rumiko-sensei wrote IY after writing that.

I hope she didn't plateau with MI. I hope she can pen another series as good as or maybe even better than MI, but that is a tall order.

:(

[Espada Grimmjaw]

I find this shit hilarious cuz I'm probably the only guy on this thread who actually enjoys watching Inuyasha, I've been watching it on Adult Swim since it first came out, that was like 3 years ago... I think, more if you count all the reruns. I even purchased the first two seasons and all the movies cuz I enjoy it so much. I've already watched the whole series on the computer and am still watching on Adult Swim, I just think it rocks! Sesshomaru and Miroku Rule!!!

[jkingler]

I said in the first post that Sesshoumaru and Miroku are awesome, so I understand where you are coming from in that respect.

But out of genuine curiosity, I must ask: why do you like IY? How do the protracted, filler-filled anime and the repetitive content not irk you? :S

EDIT: Also, do you enjoy the Naruto fillers?

[Lainchan]

I really enjoyed inuyasha at first but it got very boring after a while. I was crazy enough to watch the whole series and after the last episode I was sat wondering why I bothered. I think it dragged on far too long. I agree, everything felt like filler and it didn't help that Naraku was a crappy villain and Kagome wasn’t a very exiting lead.
On the plus side it did have Kappei Yamaguchi and pretty Do as infinity songs ^^;

I'll stick with Ranma1/2 thanks. Much better *pets ranma manga*

[jkingler]

Maison Ikkoku > Ranma > Urusei Yatsura >> Inuyasha, if you ask me. :oh

So we are pretty much on the same page. :hi5

[Second-Hand Love]

I HATE INUYASHA. It's so bad. All they do is just trying to get the shards, and they loose them right away. And Kagome makes me think of Sailor Moon, with her super short skirt that she wears all the time. Who packs their school uniform when they are going on a journey like Inuyash's and Kagome's? Urgh, I just hate Inuyasha :(

[Crush!]

I tried to like it. I really did. But InuYasha is just one gigantic failure of a show. I think the basic belief that it's DBZ for girls is really quite true. And almost HALF of the show is filler. It's just ridiculous.

The manga isn't much better, though. I really don't think Rumiko Takahashi knows how to tell a story. Maison Ikkoku is a classic because she KNEW WHEN IT NEEDED TO END. Everything else is just some rambling failure. But she's Rumiko Takahashi. She can do whatever the hell she wants, so she does, and no one reels her in.

She's like the JK Rowling of Japan.

[ydraliskos]

Meh, I'll defend it, since nobody else does.

I'll start out by agreeing that it definitely isn't a groundbreaking or great show. However you are all over-reacting, it's not that bad.

What really makes Inuyasha is the characters. If you feel nothing for them, the show will do nothing for you. It is rather repetitive, however if we only look at the manga, new ideas are incorporated in the new story arks. I think it's reasonably enjoyable, although it becomes worse the more jaded an animefan you are. If it's one of your first shows, chances are you'll like it more than if you've seen 100 other anime-series.

The character relationships all evolve a little to slowly, however in the manga they do so steadily, and is pretty nicely written. The plot is not great, however it works for it's purposes, and manages to have various twists along the way.

In all honesty I think Inuyasha is properly Rumiko Takashi's worst manga-series so far, and that she should have kept to romantic/comedic series. Maison Ikkou, Urusei Yatsura and Ranma ½ are all better series. However I still don't think Inuyasha is bad, it just falls into the (higher) realms of mediocrity, whether as something like Maison Ikkou is a plain awesome series.

Haha, that was a DEFENSE? ^___^

Seriously now, I agree with you

[Raistlin-sama]

Haha, that was a DEFENSE? ^___^
Well, some kind of defense...I think. >_>

Or perhaps I got so caught up in explaining that it was mediocre, that it became the opposite. Well if you ask an Inuyasha fanboy/fangirl, they'd properly hate me for that post, but I was just trying to be neutral, while explaining while I don't think it suxors, despite it's shortcomings.

Interpret it in whatever way you like. It can be seen as both bad or good, from my description depending on whether you want to watch anime that is only mediocre.

Maison Ikkoku is fucking awesome. I hate that Rumiko-sensei wrote IY after writing that.

I hope she didn't plateau with MI. I hope she can pen another series as good as or maybe even better than MI, but that is a tall order.


I'm afraid that she has burned out most of her creativity, sadly. However we can only hope for the best.

The manga isn't much better, though. I really don't think Rumiko Takahashi knows how to tell a story. Maison Ikkoku is a classic because she KNEW WHEN IT NEEDED TO END. Everything else is just some rambling failure. But she's Rumiko Takahashi. She can do whatever the hell she wants, so she does, and no one reels her in.

How is Urusei Yatsura, Ranma ½ and Inuysha rambling failures? You may not like them, but you state your subjective judgment in an extremely absolute way, which I can not agree with. Do you really think that people would keep buying her series, if they suck that much?

Maison Ikkoku > Ranma > Urusei Yatsura >> Inuyasha, if you ask me.
I pretty much agree. Although I'd properly say Maison Ikkoku > Ranma = Urusei Yatsura >> Inuyasha

[Jink]

Now why I think Inuyasha was dragged out for SOOO long is because RT had no choice but to do it, I mean the fanbase ofr the show was humongous in both Japan and America (and I'm guessing other countries to), its kind of like the Buu/GT Sagas of Dragon Ball

[Hokage Naruto]

I wrote a long response before but than it was deleted. I'll try and make this one the best, but I am a bit tired of writing from the first one.


I like Inuyasha. I love it in some aspects. Why? I like it because of the demons and the character variations and ther underling sub-plots that are going on like Miroku and Sango getting togather and such. Than you have your super-powered villian human & demon, Naraku with his minions. I really like how the characters gain new powers, get stronger, and how we see all the characters backround and what they are fighting for against Naraku. I like all the characters respectifully except Shippo and Jaken. They are just pains in the long run.

If you can stand Pokemon, than you should be able to stand Inuyasha. Pokemon probably had over twice as many fillers as Inuyasha. But, don't get me wrong I looved the first season of Pokemon; I remeber coming home in elementary/ middle school to watch Pokemon all the time. Now, its staying up late on Saturdays to watch Inuyasha.

People should've known that this series wasn't going to be any of those 26 episode shows. With the destruction of the jewel shard, one should now there will be episodes solely based on the collecting of the jewel shards. There were tons of jewel shards, so one should've expected tons of episodes. I think its great that some of the jewel shards landed. Some powered up demons, some gave powert to people who soon went evil and conquered and some gave life to the undead. Its great going into each episode guessing on where the next jewel shard will be.

Naraku running away. Let me ask you first, if you were surrounded by a group of powerful people that might kill you but than you saw a path to run, would you run? Most likely your answer would be yes, just like Naraku did. Though, I do scratch my head on why Naraku leaves sometimes, like when he recieved his Nouva form he could've easily tore Inuyasha to pieces, but he didn't. I guess, it was a reason to get Inuyasha powerful something to make him train even harder. Those episodes were great with Naraku and Nouva form, I won't spoil anything someone very close to Inuyasha dies.

The dub can throw people to the hating boat because half of the dub sucks, and the other half is good. I can't stand Shippo, Jaken, Inuyasha (sometimes) and a few other voices. Most of the other voices are done fine and liveable. The dub does allow a lot of blood so its not entirely edited to the supreme like the One Piece dub.

The issue with the crictizism as I see it is that Inuyasha is kinda one of the first cult animes what I mean is the first anime that got a huge fanbase and fanism's. Before, that there weren't really any big groups of anime fans that had a biased opinion on everything, and able to keep a forum up a few years after the anime was finished. If a person has seen a few different animes, Inuyasha will look bad since its easy to pull out loopholes and stuff like that. I sometimes forget all of that and find the good things in the show to watch and enjoy.

I don't really like the manga, its waaay too long and in some ways, in my opinion, make Inuyasha worse. The manga is past 400 chapters I think and its a constant recycle of the anime. Jokeingly, I thought the mangaka was still creating the manga with so many chapters so people would get sick of it and the mangaka wouldn't have to worry about ending it. :laugh

I really liked the endings a lot. I have all of them on my computer and I transferred them to my I-Pod. The ending animations are great, its nice to see at least the haters like something. XD You can get the endings if you haven't already gotten them here: www.gendou.com

They are rambling failures because they go on and on and on and on without proper endings, recycling plot lines from previous shows along the way. Why did people buy Dragonball Z's Buu Saga and Dragonball GT? Hell if I know. That doesn't mean they weren't crap. Maybe they like the characters. Maybe they wanted to know how it would end. Though, with Takahashi, most should be smart enough to realize by now that they will not end, but just putter out with some halfhearted conclusion like Ranma did.

Hey, you can like InuYasha. People like Dragonball Z. Doesn't mean the shows/manga don't have very serious faults which EVERYONE can recognize.

Come on. This is just sad.

[Fenix]

You see, it is pretty sweet for about 50 episodes, but then it goes downhill, FAST! So aside from the gorgeous ED sequences, steer clear of this if you can help it. Here are some reasons you should listen to me:

1) The main villain's name is Naraku, and Naraku is now synonymous with "coward who runs away all the time." At least in my book. He creates minions, sends them off to fight the protagonists, and then, on that rare occasion, when he actually runs into the good guys, he might fight for a little bit, but he always runs away.

Naraku and his minions (and other random baddies) turn this show into something resembling Sailor Moon and its baddie of the week formula. The only real difference is that there are some recurring baddies, namely Naraku. :rant

Honestly--worst villain ever.

2) If you watch enough of the anime, you will have nightmares about losing shikon shards.

If you don't know what shikon shards are, let me break it down for you. There was this tiny, spherical, jewel-like object called the Shikon no Tama. This little gem conveys an enormous amount of power unto its wielder. Or it did, until this happened:

In the beginning of the show, the good guys had the Shikon no Tama. Then dumbfuck Inuyasha stole it. Then Kagome shot it with an arrow and blasted it into a million fucking pieces (good going, idiot :notrust). Then, Inuyasha and some other good guys band together to get the pieces, called shikon shards, before the bad guys do! Gotta catch 'em all! :nuts

Those shikon shards take a long time to find, at least on the good guys' side, and they change hands so often it is ridiculous.

"Oh no, the villain has about 12 shikon shards!"
"Score, the good guys found one!"
"Oh shit, the villains have like 58 now!"
"Fuck! The good guys just lost theirs."

Etc. ad absurdum...

3) The show is not only long, but it is also horribly redundant.

If it were paced better, it would have ended in 56-72 episodes and it would probably be a much better anime. As it stands, though, Inuyasha spans 167 episodes. And a lot of the filler could have easily been cut out.

-No Inuyasha fighting 30 random youma
-No Miroku cleansing about 80 different residences of their resident ghosts
-No Naraku summoning minions and running away!!!

Those things honestly happened so often that I started to give my monitor a dead-pan glare whenever I saw them coming...

4) The thing I hate the most about Inuyasha is that it had potential to be a genuinely decent show.

Those first few seasons get your hopes up, and then the rest falls sooooo short of those hopes. The characters were interesting (esp. Miroku and Sesshoumaru, who are both awesome) and the story could have been great, but the show just took too long and took too roundabout a course to finish a story that started on a shaky premise (gotta catch 'em aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall!).

Once you get to about episode 90, if you can make it that far, you'll just feel so drained, dissappointed, and frustrated...Unless you enjoy the Naruto fillers. If you never got tired of seeing Naruto use the Rasengan, then Inuyasha might be right up your alley. :\

It's been over 2 years since I've watched any Inuyasha, and it still pisses me off when I think about it (which is usually when I watch .avi rips of the ED sequences). That should tell you a little about how infuriating this show will be if you are anything like me...

/end rant

You seem angry?...

Everybody have different tastes

[Hokage Naruto]

I agree with everything except Naraku. In YYH, S+ is insanely strong, and no one reached that level until the end of the series. I don't think any Inuyasha character is that powerful, yet. (IMO)

Thats why I said Naraku's Nouva Form. He can do a lot of damage in Nouva Form. He can block against a lot of damage, and his shield wasn't even damaged after a few Wind Scars hitting it. Naraku can reshape his hands into weapons and such able to get his opponents when they aren't paying attention.

Trust me. If you have seen the episodes with Naraku's Nouva Form anyone can agree he is equalivent to an S-Classs Demon. You have to remeber that Naraku can restructure his body with new demons and all to make him stronger.

[Masaki]

Come to think of it, in Ranma 1/2, there was no real ending. Nothing was resolved. Ranma never chose someone to marry, and no one returned to normal.

[ydraliskos]

One thing about this. Urusei yatsura, ranma, and even maison ikkoku to a lesser extent, weren't exactly mangas like those we are used to.

All three of them were more like gags, or even comic strips. You could just read a random chapter/volume, and enjoy it as much as you would with reading it from beggining to end.

They didn't have proper endings like , for example, garfield, or calvin/hobbes doesn't have a beggining and an ending, and it worked, because they were funny, light, and naive, so you just went along.

However, Inuyasha tried to get the best out of both worlds, meaning all of the above, plus a normalized manga plotline/story. It didn't work out, but that doesn't mean that uruseiyatsura, ranma, and ikkoku's ..... non-endedness if you will, is a bad thing for them.

But you'd think they would at least end Ranma with some sort of conclusion.

You pretty much just described 1/2 the anime I've ever seen and there are many which do it all that alot better^^;. I really couldn’t find myself caring about Sango or Miroku at all. They just seemed like they were added along for the sake of having more characters in the group and their relationship wasn’t too exiting(not to me anyway). He’d pinch her ass, shed hit him, he'd hit on other girls, shed hit him.......and then she was in love with him(despite the fact that he tried to get in the pants of every other girl they met o_o).
It just didn’t appeal to me at all. I was interested in Inuyasha and Kagomes relationship at first but it just stopped developing after a while so I got bored of that too.

I don’t think Ranma really needed an ending (even though it was pretty heavily hinted who he was going to end up with) because it was written in very episodic way, kind of like American cartoons. Personally I think the last ark was quite a good way to finish it up and it’s a shame it was never animated. I really didn’t like the way the anime ended.

And yes allot of the plot lines were recycled and cliché but the way she draws the characters made me LMAO every time. The added randomness killed me too XD

Ranma1/2 is doesn't take itself too seriously. It’s just light entertainment unlike Inuyasha which tries to be an "Epic" adventure and fails miserably. Its just "Blah".

I was describing the parts I like. I see what you mean.

I guess it was my feeling of liking the Sango and Miroku relationship. From my view, I don't really like the Kagome and Inuyasha realtionship since I barely see any progress, when something it about to happen Inuyasha see's Kikyo but than something happens to Kikyo; I won't spoil.

[Robotkiller]

Too late *has already seen every episode*:laugh

[jkingler]

^I've failed you. :(

[Sieg]

I still try to watch the episodes when i remember, but for the last few seasons i'd say i only watched 55% of the episodes.

In fact, i watched one today about the journey to the west thing... but i was paying more attention to my computer.

Still, if i know a Seshoumaru ep is comming up, i won't care about repetion with him, really.

[Fenix]

Yea same I've seen every episode too. I think I finished those last summer...or was it the summer before? I dont remember TBH...

Seriously...let people decide for themselves :p

They will still decide for themselves. I just intend to help them make a more informed decision. :P

Hmmm, but the difference is that instead of making up opnions on the anime themselves, they have to have an opnion on the opnion of someone who doesnt like the show.

.......

[Hokage Naruto]

Some of your feedback is negative; some positive like mine is an attempt to show that the show isn't godly but it is still good.

Inuyasha is a good show and people should watch it, people should know of the flaws but they should still watch it. Since, it contains the basic key elements in an anime. Wach episode can be filled with some of those keys of a good anime and one can enjoy the series, thats what anime is all about.

They don't HAVE to do anything of the sort. You assume too much. :P

They can blindly follow my lead, they can take what I say with a grain of salt, they can think I am full of shit, or they can totally ignore this thread.

You can do the same. :amuse

EDIT:

Inuyasha is a good show and people should watch it
See? He disagrees. Freedom is a wonderful thing, innit?

I still stand by my opinion, which is that Inuyasha is a longwinded drama plagued by trite themes, minimal character development, and a repetitive plot.

Huh, I've already seen all the episodes like I said. I dont agree with anything you've said. Simply put, I finished watching all the eps and I would not have done so if I had felt any negativity towards it.

Frankly, I just think you're thinking more than you should on an anime. I guess we all use our brains for different things. I

[Espada Grimmjaw]

I said in the first post that Sesshoumaru and Miroku are awesome, so I understand where you are coming from in that respect.

But out of genuine curiosity, I must ask: why do you like IY? How do the protracted, filler-filled anime and the repetitive content not irk you? :S

EDIT: Also, do you enjoy the Naruto fillers?
I can't really say why I enjoy IY so much, I don't know I really can't put into words why i like it so much. But if there were a reason I suppose it would have to be that IY was the first anime I watched in a while when it first aired on tv and it got me back into anime. As for the Naruto fillers I enjoy most of them I don't really complain about them. I do get a bit frustrated though, it's probably because I read the manga and can't wait til the time skip like everybody else.

[Robotkiller]

^I've failed you. :(

It's okay kingler, I watched it more out of habit then of like if thats any consolation:(

[Ssj3_Goku]

i just read the latest manga chapters and i must say alot of shit is going to go down. I mean Miroku is on the verge of death, kikiou well shei s allready dead but this time for good ( well i will know for sure until next chapter) its getting crazy.

[Katon Valkyrie]

Does anyone else think Inuyasha series should pick up soon, l remember reading somewhere that they think the manga is almost finished (defeating Naraku) l really hope sunrise or another company will pick up where it left off.

Also where do the fillers start and finish in Inuyasha?

I hope someday the anime does continue. In the manga they did almost defeat Naraku but came up short. eh they better continue the anime after the manga finishes.:notrust

And about your 2nd question, I don't know because I didn't start reading the manga until after finishing watching the anime so I wouldn't know which episode is a filler or not.

[Katon Valkyrie]

I remember a friend who said that the person wants to do the Inuyasha manga upto the 500's that was awhile ago but if we are upto the 400's already then maybe we will have to wait another year?

Also does anyone know the reason why half the inuyasha episodes are low-qual then around 120+ they a good quality (avi versions)

Yeah Rumiko Takahashi wants the manga to go up to 500 chapters. It's currently at 453.
