Summary: Inuyasha the Great Series and movie included
Review: Inuyasha is without a doubt the sharpest and most action
packed anime to date about a half demon half man warrior
named Inuyasha who is befriended by Kagome, the reincarnation
of a princess who once sealed Inuyasha because he was
evil. When Inuyasha awakens from his confinement he
sees Kagome and thinks its Kikoyo who put him there,
furthemore Inuyashas intent is to find the demon
shards: shikon no tama, which will give him
further power by converting into a full demons.The series has other monsters and demons who also
are looking demon chards for further power and deconstruction. This dvd has only 3 eps and considering how pricey
it is you be better of watching the eps on
Cartoon Network. Cn has bought about 50 eps of
the series which right now total 120 eps , yes 120
eps. Anime critics cant keep count of the # of eps
because Sunrise keeps making new ones. There is also an Inuyasha Movie that came in 2002
that also fans should get its differently cool to watch if you dont want to sit through the 120 eps of Inuyasha that have been made so far. Like Macross SDF the movie condenses alot
of the series in these hours but delivers the same
Excellent visual quality and style. Check it out.

Summary: I wanna have dog ears!
Review: Right, so there's this girl, Kagome, who discovers (with the help of a nasty demon centipede) that the well in her family shrine can transport her to the past. 500 years in the past. Okay, so that's pretty easy, nothing too amazing there I guess. But you haven't explored the world of that past yet. You haven't met Inuyasha yet. Do you know the kind of characters who are insufferable, obnoxious and waaaaay too mean most of the time, yet you *just* *can't* *help* loving them? Inuyasha is one of those characters. It isn't just the dog ears (but don't underestimate their powers of charm): Inuyasha, like all the characters in this fantastic series, becomes a well-developed, interesting person in his own right, someone you cheer for when he succeeds, and cry for when things go unbelievably wrong. He becomes more compassionate and mature as the series progresses, but, thankfully, without sacrificing his wonderfully obnoxious side, summed up in his love of saying 'keh' to so many things. To go on to discuss what makes all the other characters so brilliant would just take too long. There aren't many animes out there with so perfect a balance of action, romance, suspense and comedy, either. I've watched various episodes loads of times, and I *still* burst out laughing at the moments where a facial expression just says it all- absolutely priceless! The fight sequences are near-stunning, too, in their detail and charged atmosphere. Music is great. Well, it may seem a little cheesy at first, but it really grew on me and I love all the themes now. Avoid the dub. That is my only warning. It just doesn't do justice to this series. The Japanese is far better- Inuyasha's voice is great, and the way his varying tones add to the atmosphere, and many times the comedy, is fantastic. This is one of those animes you really shouldn't miss out on. With the epic timespan and period setting of 'Rurouni Kenshin', the eye-pleasing action of 'X', the bouncy fun of 'Ah My Goddess' and the masterful storytelling that Rumiko Takahashi never fails to deliver, it's pretty impossible to not love this series.

Summary: From the present into the past.
Review: It starts off with Inu Yasha stealing the Shikon no Tama, so he can become a full blooded demon. Just when he thinks his finally won Kikyou shoots him with a magic arrow sealing him to a tree, shortly after Kikyou dies. Then we see Kagome, wearing pants, probably for the only time in the whole series. Anyway Buyo, the cat goes to where the well is supposed to be hidden, Kagome goes to the cat then Mistress Centipede comes up from the well & grabs her. This is basically how Kagome gets to feudal Japan & finds Inu Yasha pinned to a tree, like he's been for 50 years. While there she discovers that the jewel was some how in her body. After she sets Inu Yasha free he tries to kill her so he can have the jewel for himself. Lady Kaede messes up his plans when she places the prayer beads around his neck & all Kagome has to do is say "Sit" to control him. Also this is the first time we meet Yura of the demon hair. For guys out there who like cleavage & short skirts, Yura definitely gives those two words a new meaning, her outfit leaves nothing to the imagination.

Summary: Inu-Yasha is the bomb!
Review: Reveiwer:Japanese anime lover.
Inu-yasha is the best anime I ever saw. It's my fav by far it has been for the past two or thee years. volume 1 is awsome,the first time I saw it I knew I was in love with the show. I have also watched 1 through 37 on cartoon network I liked them so much that I recorded them to save some cash.The voices of the show are perfect(well thats my opinion). Richard Cox &Monica Stori (Inu-Yasha and Kagome) are the perfect voice cast. They capter them perfect esp. Richard Cox. They also did a perfect job with the translation. But I think that Inu-Yasha is the best Anime Rumiko Takahashi has done so far. So I suggest that all of the people who are reading this now & don't realy know the story I suggest you read the books,watch the DVD's or watch it on Adult Swim on cartoon network. Because I know will find it as awsome as I do.
Thanks for reading htis & I hope it helped you!!!

Summary: Fun For Everyone!
Review: This is a great DVD and I would recommend it to anyone out there looking for a good time and a truly engrossing story. Inu-Yasha has truly changed my opinion on anime! I used to be one of those old fuddy duddies who thought it was just for the overly obsessed and teenage girls but boy was I wrong. This is a well written and animated show with a perfect balance in lighthearted fun/romance and action/adventure truly for all ages and yes guys too!!! As far as the DVD itself goes I feel it was a well designed menu layout and I have to say the English dub is just as good as the original Japanese though you should watch both so as not to miss any nuances and it truly is interesting to hear the personalities of the characters portrayed by different actors. My only real quibble is that there aren't enough episodes to a DVD (3 ain't enough). A word of caution: preview the series on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim before you buy in case you don't like it for it is no small investment especially for those who are hooked like I am and buy ALL the DVD's!!!

Summary: .....as long as you haven't seen the japanese version
Review: Inuyasha is in my top five most favorite animes (Cowboy Bebop, Gundam Seed and maybe the older UC Gundams, Rorouni Kenshin, and Trigun)Most say that the english dubbing is either terrible or really good. Now if you've seen the original japanese show than it might not be the best you've heard. Lucky for me, and i bet many others, i haven't so the english sounds just fine(except for lady Kaede's old english, how annoying >_< ...but not unbearable). The show itself is great. Good animation, a little less detailed then most but it fits the show. I personally like the japanese feudal setting, something different from all those futuristic animes. The storyline is great and there's always a lot of action to weigh out all that talking. And of course humor and there's lots of it. Most of the humor lies between inuyasha and kagome (what terrible partners those two make, but of course kagome always wins the fights^_^) but all the other characters make it all come together, or do they tear it all apart? Overall Inuyasha is a must see for all anime lovers (unless you like that annoying and pointless show DBZ^_-)

Summary: Why haven't you clicked the buy it button yet?
Review: Inuyasha is a wonderful show and story. It is filled with everything you could want- action, adventure, romance, humor- everything. The english and japanese voice actors sound very similar so its easy to switch between formats. The story is amazing and once you start watching you'll be amazed at how addicted you get, the characters are interestings, complex, and never "forgotten" (where the story only focuses on the main character). Each character has some problem which links back to the same source and so they are drawn together. The animation is beautiful and is fairily historically correct (the dress, weaponry, customs, arcitecture, etc.). If all this is not enough to draw you in there is also beautiful backgroud, opening, and ending music. Do yourself a favor and buy Inuyasha!

Summary: The begining of a legond
Review: I saw this on adult swim and when I first saw it, I was thinking,"What the heck, a dog demon? How dumb can it get?" But when he got some action, I definitly changed my mind.
Inuyasha:He is the main character running this show. The mystery between him and Kikyo, at this point, is still unclear. But when Kagome frees him from his gravesite, theres undeniably a world of trouble. Kagome:She is a key factor in the story. She's just your average Junior High School girl, but when she searches for her cat, she gets sucked down a well, and is in Fudel Japan. A lot of people belive she's Kikyo because she looks like her. Even Inuyasha thinks she's Kikyo, but there's more to her than just a recarnation. This started to grow on me, and I loved the show, but when Kagome shatters the juel to like a billion pices, what looked like a simple walk in the park, just took them on one long ride. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars, because it took a real long time for something to happen(Like Inuyasha getting free from that tree). If you love anime, or if you love inuyasha, you should pick this up, and it has real nice opening, and ending themes. I just might pick up the soundtrack.

Summary: PURE GREATNESS!!!
Review: Rumiko Takahashi, "Queen of Romantic Comedy", the creator of other great animes such as Ranma 1/2, Lum*Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku, and more, does it yet again with InuYasha. Based on her EXREMELY popular manga, Inu-Yasha, the anime lives up to great expectations. It follows the manga almost perfectly, has incredible gorgeously crisp animation, excellent sound, completely loveable theme songs (even if you are like me and speak no Japanese these songs will motivate you to buy all the InuYasha CDs, trust me, I did!), totally believable well developed characters, plenty of great comedy, excellent battle scenes, delicous romance (no gross scenes at all completely acceptable for anyone 8 years and up), and a fun to follow storyline. Once you watch just a few of these episodes you will be completely hooked. This DVD contains the first three episode which introduce you to this magical story, you definitely should buy this even if you have never seen the show. There are extras such as the Japanese promos, line art, and character cast list. The DVD is bilingual with the original Japanese dialougue and the excellently dubbed English with English subtitles as well. Most dubbed animes are pretty horrible but I LOVE this one. The voices match the mouths perfectly, the dialougue changes are great, they're funnier than the subtitled translation and spice the show up, the English voice actors are SOOOO much better than the Japanese ones, I cannot stress that enough. I think that the japanese voice actors were poorly chosen and do match the characters personalities but the English ones do. The amazingly cocky Richard Cox does a great job on InuYasha, he also has done voices for Takahashi's other animes such as Ranma 1/2, he does voices for Zoids and Mobile suit gundamn as well. Moneca Stori, Don Brown, David Kaye, Willow Johnson, pretty well known English dub actors are in this as well, all voices go great with their chosen characters. I love the English version so much I won't watch subtitled! Lol. If you've been following Cartoon Network's release of the show, this is much better. TO SUM ALL THAT UP THIS IS A MUST HAVE!
EXCELLENT WORK VIZ! Signed,
An InuYasha Fan
