Rate this anime day 39: Inuyasha

[goatmane]

All I remember from this show is the villain somehow escaping every episode

 

[Black Haven]

Wind scar and backlash wave that's the only thing he does every episode

Meanwhile sesshomaru has a wide range of different techniques

 

[Prince Luchini]

I fukks with Inuyasha

Has a lot of the same issues that Dragon ball and y’all loved that repetitive shyt.

Feel like this show underrated, even tho it has its issues I found it a really fun rewatching it.

The cast is great bounced well off each other plus each gets their own shine, has strong female characters which was rare in that era, dope fights, and one of the pioneers for the isekai genre.

I get it it’s not for everyone the show is centered around romance, sohh there’s a lot of lovey dubby shyt going on that may turn people off that just want to see characters pull up.

I think it deserves to be mentioned along with the likes of the Sailor moons, The Dragon balls, and the Yugiohs.

While not a stellar show I was entertained was very unique for a Shonen.

I’d give a 8/10

Repetitive as hell but off the strength of nostalgia and the soundtrack I will give this a 6.

 

[Neuromancer]

10. I just finished the whole thing. The third movie is my favorite anime movie of all time.

Inuyasha's life being all about finding his place. Seeshomaru stepping out of his father's shadow. Kikyo being the better choice. Miroku attempting to be @skeetsinternal. Naraku being so hateable.

Better than Yu Yu Hakusho, fight me over it

Swag lord Sesshomaru

GOAT scumbag Naraku

 

[FLATOP]

This was my first anime besides DBZ. GOAT just for the nostalgic feel, good story of the day plots, and good consistent characterizations. It felt similar to a western series in the sense that the status quo progressed slowly. Like I said, goat entry level show

 

[Slic Ric]

I've randomly never seen an episode, would always "just miss it" or go to bed right before it aired during Toonami.

I have fond memories of waiting until 3AM just to see where the Inuyasha adventure would go next. The ending theme would be the last thing I listened to before going to sleep, and to this day I still play the OST's in a playlist during commutes. Inuyasha was the only shounen I saw Adult Swim to feature a group of males that recognized the opposite sex. Miroku would probably get this show canceled in 2019, but it was great to see he and Sango establish mutual trust over the course of the story and eventually change each other for the better. Koga was a perfect foil to Inuyasha who needed a push to realize how much he valued Kagome, and the main triangle was a constant subject of debates from viewers of the show at the time. I owe Inuyasha and to some extent Tenchi Muyo for being more open minded to other genres.

I think the person who hates Inuyasha enough to give it a 1 doesn't care for romance to be the foundation of any anime they watch, and probably doesn't like their lead characters to be vulnerable. Basically every character had an insecurity that they needed to resolve to find peace with themselves. Inuyasha is a whiny bytch..because he's insecure about his mixed race, has been abandoned by everyone he's been close too, and has no idea where he belongs in the world. He searching for that place throughout the story like everyone else, and all of them do find it by the end. but some viewers would rather the MC be Goku who lives for battle and concerns himself about basically nothing else. A one dimensional and completely unrealistic approach to life, but a better "hero" figure than someone who is often shown struggling.

There are other valid reasons to dislike Inuyasha. The story takes forever to progress, lots of filler, lots of jobber villains, Naraku is the most frustrating anime villain of all time, and it always feels like Sesshomaru should have a bigger spotlight than he does. Clearly the best designed character in the show. But The Final Act fixes a lot of these issues and wraps the story up in a very satisfying way. Giving both seasons together an eight that may turn into a nine if a theme song is playing at any given time.

Nominating Maison Ikkoku...there's a zero percent chance this gets on the poll, but this is Rumiko's best achievement as a romance writer. I'd argue it's the very best anime in its genre. Also nominating FLCL, Neon Genesis Evangelion for some polarizing shows that'll get anywhere from a 1 to a 10.

 

[Thanos]

7/10,

I nominate card captors

 

[⠝⠕⠏⠑]

8.5
Great story and animation and character development

 

[Starboy52]

7 for the story/plot/characters, 10 for Do As Infinity on the ending OSTs.

So 7.5.

 

[Solo ✧✦✧]

7/10

I mostly like Inuyasha but it's definitely overhyped by female anime fans because of the romance involved. The story is cool but it gets repetitive after a while.

 

[Ms. Quick]

Would rate a 9 if there was more sesshomaru in this series. What a waste of a good character

 

[GUWOPPERS]

10 just because I loved it growing up.
