(And also agonizing if the arc you're in bores you to tears) We'll have run ins with random demons and get mixed up with numerous characters who may or may not come and go.

The subplots and the arcs are what make this series entertaining. Sure there's another load of subplots - pointless, funny and romantic alike - but we'll get to that.Īlthough the premise is simplistic it does expand further along in the story, but only if one likes the show enough initially to move on in the series through the 160 + episodes. Ditzy teenage girl and pissy dog demon guy now must work together to find all the shards of "The Sacred Jewel" before the bad guys do. To summarize, a young girl falls down a well at her family's shrine, only to be transported back in time to feudal Japan, where she frees a grumpy dog eared half demon man who is stuck to a tree (The result of a bad breakup) and ends up breaking a magical mystical artifact that then shatters into a bazillion pieces. Regardless, the story itself is very weak, as its the random plot arcs and ridiculous character relations that really make the show. Things one might ask themselves like why, if you KNEW you we're going to be trekking across feudal Japan for months on end, would you bring only one outfit? And more importantly why would it be your Junior High School uniform - i.e. There are flaws in the overall composition. It was the work that introduced me to the magical world of Japanese television, however in its own right Inuyasha is the most chaotic and exasperating anime I've probably ever seen. However as I said, Inuyasha is something I think about with a degree of conflict. Naturally I look back on Inuyasha with a sense of fondness,the yellow volumes and DVD's on my shelves only a small testament to the dedication I I've come to love anime and manga, appreciate the history and the different styles and subtleties that come with every genre and now consider it a very large and colorful part of my life. It was the first anime that I watched whole heartedly, and it was the first thing that brought me into the realm of Japanese media and culture. Sometimes I think back on my experience with Inuyasha and my conclusions about it have always been conflicted.
