Description:
Familiar and unfamiliar foes come to the fore as a new season of Rumiko Takahashi's "feudal fairy tale" begins. The eccentric Totosai, who forged the sword Tetsusaiga from a demon's fang, challenges Inu-Yasha to master its secret power: the Wind Scar that enables the bearer draw on vortices of demon-energy. Totosai also created an equally powerful sword for Inu-Yasha's brother Sesshomaru: the Tenseiga, a sword that heals--a typically imaginative Takahashi juxtaposition. Before Inu-Yasha can resolve his conflict with Sesshomaru, he must face Koga, the leader of a tribe of wolf-demons who kidnaps Kagome. To rescue her, the cast joins the battle between the wolf-demons and the harpy-like birds of paradise. After the intense adventures of the previous episodes, director Masashi Ikeda slows the pace a little, and mixes more humor into the quest for the Sacred Jewel fragments. Viewers curious to know more about how the series was made and its relationship to the manga should pick up the handsome and informative The Art of Inu-Yasha: Collection of Original Illustrations by Rumiko Takahashi. (Unrated, suitable for ages 13 and older: violence, grotesque imagery) --Charles Solomon
