Summary: This Is Big
Review: Theres two main forms of Inuyasha. The anime form, and the manga form. With this new, 'Animanga', it actully takes screenshots from the show, and uses them instead of the original drawings. This has many pros and cons.
Pros

1.its more suitable for those younger, and those who are lightheaded against nudity and blood

2.its quite creative and can be alot of fun

3.for those who prefer it in color, this animanga is bursting with beautiful and high quality colorings and images

cons

1.the best thing about having a original and a anime of a series, is that you get to read the original, and see how much it really changed when they put it into the animeform, but with this, you dont have that, there the exact same

2.though its creative, it has a few flaws, it sometimes might not be clear because of lack of the correct screenshots

3.im surprised to see viz doing this now when they should be translating the original manga, which only has gotten to vol 16

so, its mixed. Me, i didnt buy it, you? Sure. Why not. Its a neat idea, and it doesnt lack in creativity. But pay attention to that flaw list, make sure that you dont mind the flaws before you buy it, because I did.

Summary: Pointless, but fun!
Review: This is almost a word-for-word transfer of the English dub script onto paper, accompanied by screen shots. It covers the first three episodes of the TV show. If this sounds good to you, pick it up right now, 'cause you won't be disappointed!

I adore the show, and the dub too usually, and totally didn't mind forking over $10 for some great quality pictures and a bit of a guide to the dub script. (Plus, the incomplete sentences in episode 1 come out a *lot* better on paper.) However, a choice few lines and scenes were cut, redone (often to follow the subtitles), or shortened (my favorite part of the episode 2 dub, where Inuyasha says something like, "maybe you haven't noticed, but the world's full of monsters. You want I should go after them all?" was rephrased in here to be "you want me to" instead of "you want I should", which I had happened to think was about the funniest thing ever ^_^), so it isn't a dead-on guide, but if this really upsets you, I suggest you seek professional help.

Other fans might be angered about how the manga was flipped by Viz to read the Western way but this book is printed in Japanese style for pretty much no reason (since the dub was pretty Americanized anyway), but, I don't really care, and I don't recommend that you do either. (Oh god, they put Koga's jewel shard in HIS OTHER ARM!! THE TRAVESTY!!!) Both the manga and the show aren't meant to be taken that seriously. The creator has a great sense of humor. Just enjoy it!

Summary: hold on you will fall in too
Review: this is the best imaginative cartoon yet I have always been an artist and have done some work for one hit wonders who could only get you captured once but with this series I sit waiting for the next it doesnt drag on it keeps you guessing the characters are fun and the book is just like the series only better because their is more partial nudity I love it you must have this book before any other because without the beginnng you never will understand their passion

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Inu-Yasha Uncovered in Ani-Manga form
Review: You know, I've seen and heard about some Japanese Anime shows that are being put in Ani-Manga form, but I've never seen that kind of format would be as good as in Inu-Yasha. Of course, if you like to see anime in still motion, you're welcome to try it. The colour is so good, and the art is so superb!

Of course, the drawback is that some screencaps are omitted for the book format, but I wouldn't be much worried about it anyway.

All in all, this is a great way to start knowing about Inu-yasha, and nothing does it better than VIZ themselves. Catch later, bye!
