Help this series go on!

I can't believe the longest post I've ever written was a rant about Inuyasha xDDD

 

hmm i like inuyasha!! i think its pretty funny, and its just a show i can watch for the heck of it, like MadiYasha says, but seriously man i wanna know if theyre gonna go on with it or not cause i already got hooked and i need to see how the story ends up or ill live on, always wondering what happened to that weird dog dude in red...i gotta admit though, i did get a bit annoyed with all the fillers that came out, but that didnt ruin the show - 'sides, the story went on...even if only to 167 episodes lol

 

See, here's a smart one.
Inuyasha isn't LIKE other animes. It can have a plot and go nowhere at the same time and still seem awesome to those who know how to enjoy it.

I admit, the fillers DID get a bit crazy. But what in the name of Kingdom hearts were they supposed to do? You got millions of fans demanding episodes every week, so eventually, it was going to zoom right past the manga.

So, then, who's fault would that make it that Inuyasha is 'dead' as you're all saying?

That would make it OUR FAULT.

And... I actually ENJOYED the ending. I thought that even though nothing happened, they had a great way of ending it.

I mean, seriously, the way they played the first ever ending theme with scenes of what everyone was doing just melted my little CRIF heart.

Anyways, Time for my rant on WHY Inuyasha DOESN'T suck.

I will start by addressing some of the typical arguments used by Inuyasha haters. First up will be the ones that have some validity to them, followed by the ones that have been debunked or are completely wrong. I will use a numbered list with two entries each, A signifying the haters' argument, and R signifying my response. Now, here they are:

1. A. There are too many filler episodes. R. I agree. In fact, I consider this to be the main flaw of the series, and a major blemish on it. However, I do not believe the presence of fillers somehow invalidates the rest of the episodes, and I would also suggest the manga, since it does not have fillers. It is worth mentioning that sometimes haters try to support this argument with false information. Two of the most common falsehoods they state are:

- The fillers were added just to make the show longer/make more money

- The show is 90% filler episodes

They are both untrue.

2. A. The dub is bad. R. I agree. Some Inuyasha haters just come out and say the dub sucks, however, most of them with this complaint voice it by either stating that one or more of the characters' voices are annoying, or complaining about the dialogue. I say, just watch the sub.

3. A. The ending sucks R. That is not the real ending. read the Manga.

4. A. Shippo is annoying R. I really have no argument against this, I completely agree ;)

5. A. The characters narrate everything that happens. R. I agree, that is annoying, but it doesn't happen all that often, it's just prevalent in a few episodes, and it can be easily overlooked. However, I would recommend the sub, even though the basic dialogue is still there, it's much less annoying.

6. A. The show is dragged out. R. I somewhat agree. However, I don't believe Inuyasha really loses its steam until way near the end of the anime series, with the exception of the large season of fillers. From episodes 1 - 54, the plot progresses along very well with many interesting twists and subplots. The same is true from episodes 102 onward to somewhere past 159.

7. A. The show is repetitive. R. This is probably the most common argument given by haters, but they rarely give specific details. I agree that the filler episodes are very repetitive, but the other episodes aren't. If someone says this to me, I often ask them to specify exactly what they think is repetitive about it. All I can really give is a generalized answer, though. If by 'repetitive', you mean that similar situations occur, then you're right. However, each situation has something to do with the main plot, and moves the show forward, allowing the plot to progress. So therefore, as long as that progression happens, I don't really consider it to be repetitive.

8. A. The show is predictable. R. Again, I have to ask people to be more specific. What, exactly, was predictable? Surely some elements are predictable, especially in the filler episodes, but there are plenty of unpredictable twists as well. For example, who predicted Kagome would pull out the Tessaiga instead of Inuyasha? Who predicted Kikyo would give the Jewel shards to Naraku? Who predicted that Tessaiga was really forged to keep Inuyasha's youkai blood under control? Who predicted that Kikyo would allow Naraku to gain his first new body? And so on.

9. A. The show's premise is unoriginal R. Well, what really is original these days? Everyone takes ideas from other people, it's obvious that Inuyasha was at least partially inspired by several other anime/mangas, as well as Japanese mythology. There are a couple much more specific arguments in this general vain that I'm going to address a little later on, but right now I'll concentrate on one of the typical hater arguments on this path: the unoriginality of the characters. The argument pretty much goes "Inuyasha is unoriginal and cliched because the characters are so typical, Inuyasha is the hot - headed, arrogant hero, Kagome is the ditzy schoolgirl with special powers, Miroku is the pervert, Sango is the tough warrior chick, Shippo is the cute, fuzzy mascot, Sesshoumaru is the white - haired bishounen, Naraku is the evil villain, etc". However, the problem with the argument lies in the fact that the person is simply taking a very superficial description of each of the characters and attempting to fit them into pre - existing stereotypes. Sure, Shippo is really nothing more than a cute mascot (I hate him anyway), but just to take the example of Inuyasha, he's not arrogant and rude because he wants to be, it's because he was rejected by both the worlds of humans and youkai for his nature, and grew up alienated without anyone that cared for him. Once he finally met Kikyo, the first person that ever understood him and loved him for what he was, he suffered a horrible betrayal (or at least it appeared that way), and his trust was forever broken, leaving him cold and uncaring towards anyone in the outside world. Kagome and his other friends eventually helped heal those wounds in his soul, and the process is still ongoing. I could go on like this for all the other characters as well, but you get the picture.

10. A. The show and the characters are just copied from Ranma 1/2, which is itself copied from Urusei Yatsura. R. This variant of the above argument is a favorite of Takahashi haters. They say she just recycles her characters and uses the same characters over and over in her shows. Just to begin showing how ridiculous this is, we have to ask: "How is a show about a half - dog - demon who is trying to find a magic jewel like a show about a teenage martial artist that turns into a girl when splashed with cold water?" The argument just crumbles from there. Kagome is nothing like Akane, she is much more caring and understanding, and less violent. Inuyasha is nothing like Ranma, Ranma just wants to get rid of his curse and then live in peace, and he doesn't particularly like any of the occupants of the Tenma household that he has to live with. Inuyasha at first wanted to use the Shikon no tama to become a full youkai, but decided against it when he realized he might be a danger to his friends. He genuinely is friends with them and depends on them for support and strength, unlike Ranma, who depends only on himself. They are completely different characters.

11. A. Inuyasha is copied (some would even say plagiarized) from Ushio and Tora. R. The basic gist of this argument is that Inuyasha is pretty much a carbon copy of a previous manga known as Ushio and Tora, which spawned a short - lived anime. They link to sites posting scans from the two mangas, and pointing out a bunch of similarities. I wrote a refutation to this a while back, and here it is:

The argument that Inuyasha is plagiarized from Ushio and Tora is flawed. First of all, the people presenting the argument only point out the similarities and completely ignore the differences. For example, Ushio and Tora involves no time travel at all, it takes place completely in the modern day. The character that encounters the demon is a boy, not a girl. His romantic interest is another girl from his time (obviously, since there is no time travel). The demon is not involved in a love triangle (which would be pretty weird, considering that he looks like a feral tiger). Tora is a tiger demon, not a dog or any other kind of canine demon. As for the similar elements, kitsune (or fox) demons are staples of Japanese mythology, and are featured in many animes. The same is true with ancient priestesses, Buddhist monks, etc. Perverted characters exist in nearly every anime, so that is another similarity explained. Villains that are able to absorb others and create new beings from themselves stem back to the Japanese legend of the Monkey King, so that part is again inspired by mythology. Even if you disregard this and say that the characters in the two animes are very similar, there are many characters in Inuyasha, such as Sango and Sesshoumaru, who do not have equivalents in Ushio and Tora, and vice - versa. In addition, Ushio and Tora is based on a Japanese legend, so it is actually 'plagiarized' itself. You can't plagiarize plagiarism. Additional support to the refutation includes:

- When reading reviews of the Ushio and Tora anime, many people described it as similar to Inuyasha, or a cross between Yu Yu Hakusho and Inuyasha. No one said 'wow, this is exactly like Inuyasha! Inuyasha must have been plagiarized from this!' or anything of the sort.

- Inuyasha is actually partially based on an earlier Rumiko Takahashi story, called Fire Tripper, that came out before Ushio and Tora.

So, in other words, the argument that Inuyasha is plagiarized from Ushio and Tora is just BS.

Mesoian of the AS forums was the one, I believe, that first came up with this argument, and after I refuted it he claimed that the website he made where he presented the argument was just a simple, bare - bones site and there was much more to the argument that I hadn't seen, and that it had never been refuted. However, he has yet to back up any of these claims, or come up with any of this supposed evidence, so for now the argument stands as refuted.

12. A. Inuyasha uses his wind scar too much. R. Its his most common and easy-to-use attack, what would you do?

13. A. It's lame how the characters yell out their attacks before using them. R. If you've noticed, this is done in a lot of animes. It's a classic anime cliche. It comes from an old samurai tradition where samurai would give their sword techniques names in order to increase their power and prestige. Personally, it's one anime cliche that I LOVE.

14. A. The fights are lame and not exciting. R. There are many good fights in the show, although I agree that several are not that great. The problem stems from the fact that they had to make so many episodes with a limited budget for animation, and thus could not choreograph the fight scenes very well. However, they still managed to do very well for what they had. However, just like almost everything else about them, the fights in the filler episodes are sub - par. The best fights in the entire show, IMO, come during the Shichinintai arc, which spans from episode 102 to episode 124.

15. A. It is a kids' show. R. First of all, I'd like to point out that being a kids' show doesn't necessarily make a show bad, after all, many kids' shows were excellent (Angry Beavers, Invader Zim, Salute your Shorts, and The Adventures of Pete and Pete come to mind). Anyway, Inuyasha is not a kids' show, at least not in America. The mere fact that it is on Adult Swim is a testament to that. In Japan, it is suitable for younger audiences as well as older ones, since their censorship standards are so much more lenient than ours. The manga that the show is based on is actually a shounen, which means it has a primary demographic of teenage boys. Anti-Chris likes to point out that in Canada, Inuyasha is shown on YTV, which he says is the equivalent of Nickelodeon. However, I recently talked to a fellow IY fan from Canada, and he told me that YTV is actually more like Cartoon Network, and it has a block similar to Adult Swim, where Inuyasha is aired. It comes on at 10:00 at night, so it is certainly not a kids' show there, either. Others point out that the reason Inuyasha was put on Adult Swim instead of Toonami in the first place was that in the first episode, Inuyasha was impaled with Kikyo's arrow, which they apparently couldn't show on Toonami. However, the censors decided where it would go based only on the first episode, so that was hardly the only unacceptable content for Toonami. In order for the show to be on Toonami, they would have had to edit the hell out of it (imagine what they would do to episode 14!).

16. A. Kagome/Inuyasha is an idiot. R. I agree that Inuyasha is somewhat of an idiot, although you must keep in mind that he's never had any kind of education, so you could say he's really more of an ignoramus than an idiot. As for Kagome, hardly. She is constantly demonstrating her intelligence. Following are just a few examples:

- When she realizes she can't hit the demon crow with her arrow, so she ties a part of its foot to the arrow and fires it, figuring that it will attempt to regenerate and join back with the crow, thus guiding the arrow to it. It worked, but it had the unfortunate, and unforeseeable, side effect of shattering the jewel.

- When she observed Inuyasha's battle with Yura, and realized that all of the hair was connected to the red skull, she not only figured this out but managed to use it to defeat Yura when Inuyasha had failed, saving his life.

- When Myoga told her that the toad was vulnerable to fire, she used a can of hairspray in combination with a small torch to drive it out of the lord's body.

- When they were trapped by Naraku she overcame her fear and located Naraku's jewel shards, using that as a target for her arrow, thus saving all of their lives.

I could go on, but I won't.

17. A. The romance/love triangle is really lame and poorly done. R. I agree, but only to an extent. The romance isn't that poorly done, it can be sweet at times, and I was moved to tears by episode 48. Many haters simply characterize the romance as 'teenage flirting'. What they fail to realize is that Kagome and Inuyasha ARE teenagers. Inuyasha is technically 200 years old, but in human terms, he's about at the same level of physical and mental development as a 15 - year - old (this was stated directly by Rumiko Takahashi). You can't really expect them to handle their relationship like adults, because they're not adults. Still, progress is made in their relationship. At the aforementioned episode 48, Kagome finally admits to herself that she loves Inuyasha, and comes to a better understanding of his feelings for Kikyo, thus allowing them to be together again despite their differences. After that, Inuyasha no longer runs after Kikyo, pursuing her, instead when they meet it is mostly by chance or due to circumstances (they're both investigating Naraku). You also must keep in mind that, in continuity, only a few months have passed from the time the show started to the latest manga chapter. This can be determined by counting the number of times Inuyasha turns human on the new moon. Their relationship is also a bit stalled due to the fact that they have more important things to worry about, namely Naraku. Many haters tend to come to the conclusion that the Inuyasha/Kagome romance is the main focus of the show, when it is obviously not. Defeating Naraku and reclaiming the jewel is, as should be obvious to anyone who actually watches the show. Yet some people tend to draw strange conclusions. My theory is that since that is the part they hate the most, they tend to think of it as the focus of the show to try to feel like they have a better reason for hating the show in general. Still, I must admit that the romance is not the most well - executed part of the show, and there are many other animes that do romance better. However, Inuyasha isn't all about romance.

18. A. There is little/no character development. R. This argument is still occasionally trotted out, yet you almost never see it anymore, since it is so easy to refute. All it takes is to watch a few episodes and you will quickly realize that there is absolutely tons of character development. Just some examples (warning, contains spoilers):

- Inuyasha: At first he is isolated and trusts no one, and even tries to kill Kagome, and wishes to become a full demon, but he grows to trust people, even letting them know about his human form, which he would never even think of doing before. After transforming and nearly killing his friends, he decides he no longer wishes to become a full demon, even though that is what he wished for for his entire life. He grows closer to Kagome, and begins to get over Kikyo, although he never truly does, because she was his first love.

- Kagome: At first, she is scared, confused, inept, and generally useless. However, she learns to assert herself, and take charge of dangerous situations. She also comes to terms with her feelings for Inuyasha. In episode 48, she realizes how important Kikyo is to Inuyasha, and realizes that Inuyasha will never forget about Kikyo or stop loving her, and she struggles with herself for the whole episode. Her feelings conflict, and she even comes to the point of wishing Kikyo would simply disappear. Then she questions her own motives, wondering if she is really such an awful person as to wish that. Eventually, she comes to terms with her feelings and realizes that even though Inuyasha will always love Kikyo, she can still stay with him and help him. This is an incredibly mature and selfless act on her part.

- Miroku: He is a lecher, seemingly incorrigible, but eventually starts to realize that he has something special with Sango, and even SPOILER proposes to her

- Sango: She is traumatized, her entire family slaughetered by her younger brother, and believes Inuyasha is responsible. Even after learning this is not so, she believes she is untrustworthy, as her younger brother Kohaku is under the control of Naraku, and can be used against her. She even tries to kill herself once. However, she overcomes this and becomes more resolute, accepting the possibility, and perhaps inevitability, of Kohaku's death and the need to defeat Naraku. Also, she becomes less resistant to Miroku's advances and SPOILER agrees to marry him

- Sesshoumaru: At first, he is cold, and hates humans and Inuyasha. His hate for his brother deepens when he realizes his father left his great heirloom sword, Tessaiga, to Inuyasha and not him, because he thought that he deserved it. However, he meets the young human girl, Rin, who helps him, and he sort of adopts her, contrary to his previous statement that he hated humans. He cares for her and treats her as essentially a daughter. Later, he witnesses Inuyasha's transformation, and realizes that the reason his father left Tessaiga to Inuyasha was to supress his demon blood so it doesn't take control of him, so he no longer wishes to have the Tessaiga for himself. He develops feelings for his brother, and no longer wishes his death, although he still views him as inferior.

- Kikyo: After being resurrected, she is bitter and resentful towards the world, and figures the only way to be with Inuyasha is to take him to hell with her. However, she observes that Kagome is filling Inuyasha's emotional needs as she used to, and begins to realize that she is obsessed with Inuyasha and decides to stop pursuing him vengefully. Instead, she goes after Naraku, attempting to kill him by purifying the jewel along with his soul.

- Naraku: Well, he started as Onigumo, the bandit who was nursed back to health by Kikyo and fell in love with her. He knew in his current state that he couldn't possibly have her, so he offered up his soul to the demons around him and became Naraku. However, the Naraku persona overtook Onigumo's mind and banished him, taking control of their new body. In order to taint the Sacred Jewel with evil, he tricked Inuyasha and Kikyo into betraying one another, but instead of using the Jewel to save herself, and making it even more evil, like Naraku planned, Kikyo allowed herself to die and took the Jewel with her. Meanwhile, Naraku cursed Miroku's grandfather, and probably did a bunch of other nasty things. When Kagome brought the Jewel back, he saw an opportunity to finally gain the power he had desired. He accumulated several shards of the Jewel, and did some evil things to get them (like what happened to Sango's village). However, his plan didn't really get on track until Kikyo gave him the shards she took from Kagome (This was part of her plan to eventually destroy him). Naraku started creating his incarnations, but his real goal was to shed his human half and become a full demon. He eventually managed this by creating Musou, but Musou was too vulnerable, so he reabsorbed him. SPOILER Later, he suceeded by creating Hakudoushi and another incarnation, who held his heart and it was protected inside a demon called Mouryoumaru. However, both of these demons rebelled against him.

- Koga: Koga started out as a vicious killer, his wolf pack slaughtered an entire village. He kidnapped Kagome just to have her find the Jewel shards for her, but he fell in love with her and later began to respect her, not just kidnapping her whenever he wanted. He also understood more about the suffering of Kagome and her friends when his pack was slaughtered by Kagura, and he swore revenge on her and Naraku. SPOILER Recently in the manga, Midoriko (the Priestess who created the Jewel) attempted to control Koga's shards with her spirit, part of a plan to sacrifice him to defeat Naraku. However, he retrieved an ancient relic from his wolf - demon clan that would protect him from this once. Not really character development, but I thought it interesting, and worth mentioning.

- Kagura: Kagura was at first, simply a servant of Naraku, who carried out her orders without asking questions. She quickly realized, however, that Naraku was using her, and cared little for her safety. She began to betray him at every opportunity, and even conspire with his enemies to destroy him. Hers was an indomitable spirit that still tried to be free, even in the face of torture and the threat of reabsorbtion into Naraku's body. Also, she developed somewhat of an attraction to Sesshoumaru. SPOILERS In the end, Naraku gave her back her heart, but impaled her with a poison strike, so she would die. She died in a meadow, and Sesshoumaru tried to save her with the Tenseiga, but it didn't work. She was just happy that he was there for her last moments of life, and in the end she was finally free like the wind.


In addition, I have some more insight on this:

Yes they do. It might not stick out right at you but it's there. Each character changes as time goes on. I think this will be clearer once the series starts over again. Anyway, most of the main characters have a connection with Naraku. Because of his evil ways all of these people have suffered.

Inuyasha and Kikyou: Now there aren't many people who are fans of this couple and don't really care as much about what happened to them as Sango for example. But there is more to it then Man loves woman (vice versa), other man makes them betray each other. Kikyou was a lonely priestess whose only friend was her little sister. Inuyasha was a hanyou who was constantly brought down because he was neither human nor demon. These two people started out well let's just say not really liking each other but as time grew on they fell in love. Inuyasha and Kikyou trusted one another and Naraku took that away from them. And now they can never be together again.

Sango and Kohaku: Two siblings who were very close until that night when Naraku made Kohaku kill his family and he destroyed their village. He made Sango think Inuyasha did this and forced her through agony having to choose between her brother's life and betraying her new friends. Currently Kohaku is also suffering from not being able to figure out who she is. She also has to worry about how he is forced to kill innocent people.

Miroku: Has the curse Kazaana which he fears will suck him up any day now. spoiler he would like to live a normal life with Sango but is scared something bad will happen to her if he doesn't kill Naraku before it's too late. end spoiler

Koga: Almost his whole tribe was murdered and his love doesn't have the same feelings towards him.

Well I think you get the idea. Some characters don't have as much depth as others but we don't know that much about them. The point is..no matter what they all seem like on the outside they have so many other things they are thinking about on the inside. Pretty much every person has a history, not just oh find jewel shards and kill Naraku.

I trust this argument is soundly put to rest now.

19. A. "Inuyasha" means "Girl Dog Demon". R. This isn't really an argument against the show, just a piece of misinformation that's been floating around the internet for quite a while. Still, haters often use it to make fun of the show, so I figured I'd put it here. The real answer is as follows:

For starters, the term yasha originates from the sanskrit yaksha, a type of Indian Buddhist creature who is predominantly canine in appearance and is used as statues akin to lions to guard buddhist temples. In mythology, Yaksha were divine protectors of the Buddhist religion and guarded the rare metals of earth, such as gold, silver, and such. There is also a female version of the Yaksha, of which is referred to as yakshi. When the Chinese and Japanese adopted this creature into their language, they wrote its name in the kanji (Japanese characters) for "night" [?] and "forking" [?]. It is assumed (by me, of course) that this is where the mistranslation stems from: because the word yasha refers to both the male and female version, but is listed in the dictionaries as only female. Apparently the kanji is confusing in some way... don't know how.

Anyways, that's Inuyasha: "Dog Demon." It's as simple as that (well... I guess it's not that simple after all...)

And there you have it.

20. A. There are too many flashbacks. R. In Japan, the episodes had long lengths before they were aired, and thus, the flashbacks are there to recap.

21. A. The Tessaiga has too many ultimate techniques. R. It has 3. THREE PEOPLE.

22. A. The animation is bad. R. Low Budget.

23. A. The music is bad. R. This is just an opinion. It means NOTHING towards anyone else.

24. A. There are tons of plot holes. R. While I'm not denying that the series has plot holes, the problem is highly exaggerated by the haters. First I will give some examples of actual plot holes, and then give examples of false plot holes.

- When the Tessaiga is first found, it has no sheath. However, a few episodes later, the sheath mysteriously appears. This is a plot hole.

- The requirements to travel through the well. While it is clear that only Kagome and Inuyasha can travel through the well, in some episodes they needed jewel shards, and others they didn't. This is most likely a plot hole, although you could make the explanation that the well is an unstable magical portal, and as such the rules governing it change often.

- Sesshoumaru being able to wield the Tessaiga. This is not a plot hole, but the explanation is complicated. At the time, he has a human arm with a jewel shard inside of it. The human arm allows him to touch the Tessaiga without being harmed by the barrier. His youkai blood allows it to transform. The jewel shard amplifies its power and allows him to use it without having compassion for humans, since the jewel is partly made of a human soul.

- Time travel paradoxes. This refers to any percieved plot holes due to the time travel element of the show. These plot holes are illusory, however, since the way the time - travel works is the 'predetermination' theory. That is, Kagome cannot change the past because everything she has done or will do in the past already happened. This is proved by the fact that in the beginning of the show, Inuyasha is not stuck to the tree in Kagome's time, because even though she hadn't traveled back yet, she had already unpinned him from the tree in the past.

If you know of any other plot holes that are not addressed, tell meh.

25. A. Miroku's Kazaana (Wind Tunnel) is such a powerful weapon that it should be able able to beat anything they face, but it is incredibly underused. R. While it is not used all that often in the later episodes, there is a good reason for this. There are many limits to Miroku's Kazaana besides the obvious one (the Saimyoushou). For example: In episode 17, he commented on how he was exhausted after having drawn in so many demons, even though none of them were poisonous. Additionally, he cannot use it if he risks sucking in something that needs to be saved, such as all of the souls (including Kagome's) in episode 42, or the Shikon shards in the Shichinintai. Also, it can effectively be countered by opponents with high speed, since they can maneuver around it (Juromaru and Kageromaru demonstrated this convincingly). Additionally, in episode 28, the sides of the Kazaana were nicked by a mantis demon, and Miroku was forced to use it again before it could fully heal up. This had the effect of worsening his condition, and now, not only will it kill him someday, but every time he uses it from that point onward he is effectively taking time off of his lifespan. Finally, the Kazaana can be counteracted by youkai poison, including that of the Saimyoushou. Due to all of these limitations, Miroku's Kazaana cannot achieve its full potential as some people envision it. Still, it does get a lot of use, and is instrumental in saving the group and destroying many villains. For example: SPOILER



It is used to kill Hakudoushi later in the manga.

26. A. The show is Satanic, anti - Christian, and has evil subliminal messages planted by Satan to corrupt our children! (Or something along those lines). R. This criticism is so ridiculous it doesn't even deserve a response. Instead, I'll just link to this site.

27. A. Weaponry and technology as advanced as Ginkotsu's didn't exist back then when it took place. R. Well demons didn't exist either! Get over it, it's a fantasy show, not a historical documentary.



...-breathes-
Now tell me the show is dead TO MAH FACE!

 

I want it to die so it doesn't hog [adult swim] with an hour anymore. It pisses me off.

 

The show is dead.

Inuyasha had a good pace, but then they though they could salvage a series that was already deviant from the manga, and clung to false-hope in doing so--and inevitably led to its premature ending.

No, Inuyasha isn't like other anime. That's because there are far too many better ones that have a greater driven plot-line, more vivid/interesting characters, and much more.

 

News flash Madi.

It got cancelled. It had a good run but less people were watching it with all the new Anime in the mainstream. And I doubt a small amount of forum members are gonna make a difference.

 

If you ask me, Inuyasha is over-rated. Not to mention it fails in comparison to a very LARGE number of anime out there.

 

okay i bet no1 read that.....


the show is dead. it got cancelled for a reason. it began to suck. it FAILED.


now you have three choices. go sit in a corner and cry about inyasha for the rest of ur life. get over it. or WATCH A DIFFERENT SHOW.

 

Yknow what ghetto? You don't have to be an *** about it.

I'm pasionate about a show that saved my life and I refuse to let it die in my heart. The post was just to show that I will KEEP defending it. Thats why I helped make the legue of Inuyasha Defenders.

So, please, STOP.

And I'm proud to say that this is my 400th post :)
