Plot Synopsis

A young girl named Kagome Higurashi who's on her way to school goes to the well in her family's property. She was about to get her cat from the area because no one was supposed to go there she found a demon in the well instead. Taking Kagome back in time to the Feudral era of Japan. Once she heads to a village the people proved that she's the reincarnation of the powerful priestess Kikyo. The villagers also believed that she had the powerful Shikon jewel inside her body that can grant you anything you want.

Before when Kikyo was alive, she sealed a dangerous half demon Inuyasha to a tree with one of her magical arrows. Kagome loses the Shikon jewel and awakes Inuyasha to help her recover it.

When they do get it back however, Kagome shatters it when it is taken again thus sending it far and wide. The series tells us how Inuyasha and Kagome search for it and meet new people along the way.

That's, um, a lot of '...'. In my opinion, I wouldn't have given this anime nearly so high a rating, but, to each his (or her) own, I suppose.

A bit of constructive criticism that may help you become a better and more effective writer: please learn how to use ellipses correctly. They are most certainly not catch-alls for punctuation, and their overuse makes your writing seem particularly puerile and unrefined, which in turn significantly reduces the effectiveness of your review.

i agree totally,also another helpful suggestion is to use a more wide variety of words ,the way u say its great is in each paragraph try to use spatacticular,or ammazing,also try to expand your sentence structure,but other than that its ok,and always remember critisizem is good for as it makes you a better writer.

8.33333333333???why not just 8 gah its getting to critical!!!!

really? i thought inuyasha would at least deserve a 9/10

Quote by gracie-chanreally? i thought inuyasha would at least deserve a 9/10


If you take a look at the guidelines for reviews, 8's and higher should be reserved for things that qualify as "absolutely amazing." From the guidelines:

"Consider well what kind of rating to give. Giving a rating of '10' should be very rare and only amateur reviewers give '10' to everything. Ratings like 5, 6 and 7 should be the most common. For example: if the artwork is nice, but not special, give Art a 6."

But, opinions belong to the writer and everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion.

That number is just an average of the ratings given throughout the review. Maybe MT shouldn't use so many significant figures...

Vac: wow. Well, this its my first time the i look the Inuyasha. Thanks for you rewiev :)

good review i would personally give it like a 9/10 becuase its such a great show not many show could beat it and plus its one of my favorite show :)

Wow! You gave Inuyasha a B? I would have given it an A. Well, it depends on whether you like it or not....the comedy and the action are kinda overused like the "Wind Scar!" and "Sit, boy!"
Overall: It's a great anime and it's one of my favorites.....

Inuyasha is absolute garbage... All they do is fight, then run away, then fight next episode, then run away, then fight the next episode, and so on. The characters are all whiney babies and inuyasha is a homosexual. If you enjoy this series, then please do yourself a favor and shoot yourself in the head.
