DVD Reviews of Inuyasha - Season 1
DVD Review: My child loves it.
Summary: 5 Stars
The series is pretty good and I enjoy as well as my daughter who I bought it for. DVD Review: Started my love for anime
Summary: 4 Stars
When I was a teenager in high school I wasn't a big anime fan. I used to joke that all the drawings looked the same and were drawn by the same guy. I used to joke, saying Japan would be in trouble when that guy died, cause they'd have no one to draw their cartoons. I now proudly admit I was wrong and too hasty in my judgment.
One night I was flipping channels and I caught an episode of Inuyasha. I watched it because there was nothing better on. The next day I watched the next episode, then the next, then the next and before I knew it I was hooked. Soon I started watching more and more anime. Now I love anime and will gladly take Japanese animation over live action Hollywood any day. What I like about Inuyasha (and anime in general) is that the Japanese have learned that animation is for anyone, unlike here where mainstream society still looks at animation as something meant for kids. It seems only sitcoms have been accepted as adult animation (The Simpsons, Family Guy, ect.) but animation, like live action can encompass any genre, which Inuyasha does beautifully. It's a wonderful mix of fantasy, drama, comedy, action and romance without being re-edited to suit the 6 to 12 year old audience that most of these shows go through when their "Americanized". In this show, when characters get hurt they're hurt and sometimes bleed. When a character dies, they die instead of being banished to the realm of total losers or something dumb like that because (it's a cartoon for kids so we dare not mention death). More importantly, Inuyasha has well developed characters, not villains that want to take over the world because they're the bad guys, thats what they do; or characters who are in love being toned down to platonic friendships because (it's a cartoon for kids so we dare not show love).
Inuyasha opened my eyes to the world of anime and manga. After I started watching the show, I bought the mangas. Now I'm hooked and I'd gladly recommend this title to anyone who loves good drama, rich characters and a compelling story. I'm glad I bought these in the states (I live in Canada and ordered them from here because I bought both seasons 1 & 2 for $112 [after taxes, shipping and duty] which is still cheaper than it would have been to buy it up here [most retailers, even Amazon.ca, wanted about $70 to $120 for just one season] and that was before tax).
DVD Review: Inuyasha is a classic Anime!
Summary: 5 Stars
I for one don't like a lot of anime; but only have a select few favorites... one being Inuyasha. That is because I like Inuyasha for it's unique story and great cast of characters; not to mention the style and genre the anime fits into my personallity!
I mean they don't call this show a fuedal fairy tale for nothing you know! That's why I love it so much; it has lots of sword swinging action in fuedal Japan, romance between the 3 key characters Inuyasha, Kikyo, & Kagome, and a bunch of LOL comedy with the other characters!
Season 1 of Inuyasha is one of my favorite seasons because it's the season that started it all! My especially favorite episodes are of when we first meet Seesshomaru looking for Inuyasha's sword, Shippo and the Thunder Bros always makes me LOL big time, Kikyo being resurected, Miroku joins the group, and many others when we first meet Naraku & Sango!
Plus I think it's just great to have the entire Inuyasha Seasons on DVD; since you don't have to worry about having them recorded on your old VHS tapes! That is because I'm a collector; & I love having DVD's of all of my favorite shows & movies!
DVD Review: Inuyasha is AMAZING!
Summary: 5 Stars
Inuyasha is a great series! In fact, it was the first anime i really got into. Inuyasha is about a girl named kagome Higurashi, an average ninth grader that gets pulled into an ancient well in their shrine by a demon. When she gets herself out of the well, bringing her 500 years into the past to the fuedal era, she finds a boy pinned to a tree by a sacred arrow. There she meets Inuyasha, a half-demon who seeks for the Shikon Jewel to make himself a full fledged demon. With Inuyasha and her new friends, Kagome's search for the Jewel of Four Souls begins. ITS AN AMAZING ANIME!!! You ABSOLUTLEY have to buy this if you are an anime fan! You just have too!
DVD Review: Inuyasha
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a fan of Inuyasha for a while. I was reading the manga before it's premier on Adult Swim.
If you like the show and hate the way Adult Swim has been moving it around (and eventually removing it) then this is probably the box set to get. No longer are there only three epps a DVD but you get 5 and a few of the standard extras.
With it dropping in price to around 45(ish) there is no reason not to own this show.
Description of Inuyasha - Season 1
Kagome Higurashi, an average ninth grader, gets pulled into an ancient well by a demon, bringing her 500 years in the past to the feudal era. There, she meets Inuyasha, a half-demon who seeks the Shikon Jewel to make himself a full-fledged demon. With Inuyasha and new friends, Kagome's search for the Jewel of Four Souls begins...Based on the manga by Rumiko Takahashi, the creator of Ranma 1/2 and Urusei Yatsura, the Inu-Yasha TV series (2000) blends elements of Japanese folklore and familiar anime devices into a deftly imaginative blend of humor and adventure, an extremely entertaining series that never falls into clich?. Beginning the first season's 27 episodes, Kagome Higurashi, a normal 15-year-old girl, falls down a dry well--and finds herself in the feudal past, 50 years after her ancestress Kikyo imprisoned the half-human/half-demon Inu-Yasha. As the reincarnation of Kikyo, Kagome possesses a magic jewel that greatly increases the power of demons. Kagome fetters Inu-Yasha with the help of her priestess-ancestor Kaede, and when the jewel is shattered Kagome and Inu-Yasha must ally to recapture the fragments.
The series really begins to hit its stride when Kagome and Inu-Yasha, while bickering, nevertheless prove an effective team against the demons they encounter in the Warring States netherworld. Two new characters create complications. Shippo, an orphan fox spirit, meets Kagome and Inu-Yasha in the Warring States period. A more conventional but potentially more dangerous addition is Hojo, a handsome upper classman at Kagome's school, who's concerned about her recent absences. His understated good manners contrast sharply with the prickly Inu-Yasha--just as Kagome is beginning to recognize his good points.
In the multi-part adventure that begins with "Kikyo's Stolen Ashes," the filmmakers presenting conflicting versions of the relationship between Kikyo and Inu-Yasha, and the intriguing plot twists typify Takahashi's sophisticated story-telling. The tone darkens as the back story emerges: 50 years earlier, Kikyo tended Onigumo, a badly burned thief. As his desire for the Sacred Jewel--and Kikyo--grew, Onigumo summoned a horde of demons, whom he allowed to consume his flesh and soul. The evil creatures fused to form the terrible Naraku. Recognizing his feelings for Kagome, Inu-Yasha tries to protect her from Naraku by sending her back to her own time and blocking the passage between the ages. Inu-Yasha, Kagome, Shippo, and Miroku face a bizarre array of monsters and villains, including a forest demon who vomits hordes of monstrous, three-eyed wolves.
As the tapestry grows richer, Kagome and Myoga begin to explore the origins and nature of the Sacred Jewel that radiates power yet brings misfortune to everyone who approaches it. The source of the jewel turns out to be the demon-slayers' village. Inu-Yasha, Kagome, and their friends learn how the Jewel was created long ago in a battle between hordes of monstrous demons and Midoriko, the greatest priestess of the age. But the Jewel is also a miniature battleground between good and evil: a metaphor for the world--and for Inu-Yasha's heart, as he vacillates between selfishness and kindness.
