Inuyasha tv Review
Story & Characters
Inuyasha is a long-running anime that tells the story of Kagome, an everyday teenage girl who fell through a well into the Feudal Japan. This isn't the Feudal Japan you read about in history books though, it emanates with magic and wonderful things and is over run by demons. Upon stepping out of the magic well that transported her to this time period, Kagome comes upon one such demon, Inuyasha. Inuyasha isn't like all the rest though, he is considered a hanyou, a half-human, half-demon. He is also sealed to a tree by an arrow in the chest.
Kagome grows an instant fondness for Inuyasha and releases him from his ethereal fetters. Though Inuyasha takes coldly to Kagome and confuses her for someone else, their relationship slowly grows over time. And what a great length of time they spend together! After it is revealed that Kagome has the legendary Shikon Jewel on/in her body, it is almost soon-after shattered into pieces, which disperse themselves throughout the world. It then becomes up to Kagome and Inuyasha to recover the pieces.
As the two travel, they learn a great deal about themselves and one-another. Twists and turns abound. Inuyasha and Kagome also bump into a colorful cast of characters, who either join them on their quest or try to kill them.
The humor of Inuyasha is very similar to what is found in DragonBall Z, though it is much more refined here. The humor comes primarily from the characters' little peccadillos. Consider Myouga the flea, he only comes out when he is absolutely certain everything is safe. Also of note for the series' humor is how refreshingly the characters respond to one-another. There's nary a cliche moment. Take when Sota tells his grandfather that he plans on becoming a soccer player and not guarding the family shrine, as tradition mandates. Sota's grandfather does not get into a rage or give a boring tirade, he instead gets a befuddled look on his face and asks Sota whether he wants to become a goalie or a forward.
Inuyasha, must face off against demons throughout the series. And these demons aren't easy either - some take a full two episodes to defeat. Indeed, one of the demons we meet early on in the series, Yura, seemed impossible to me to overcome. And yet, Inuyasha and Kagome find a way to beat her, though it was a tough battle.
As Inuyasha and Kagome venture through the world, killing demons as they go, we learn a lot of things about them and their past. Don't take anything at face value with this series. It likes throwing twists, turns, and coincidences at you. I personally liked them all.
While all the aforementioned help make Inuyasha a delightful series, it is really the characters that give Inuyasha its heart. The characters of the show are all very well-conceived and just as well presented. Kagome is a typical teenage girl who is still very awkward around romantic relationships and so gets scared when she begins to get close to Inuyasha. Inuyasha suffered a very lonely childhood, not being accepted by either humans or demons, and so carries this resentment in his mind still. Every main character has a reason for why he or she behaves the way he or she does. But this beauty in Inuyasha's characters aren't limited to just the main ones. Even the minor characters have their motivations and most are quite interesting to watch. I even empathized with some of the demons!

Art
The visual presentation of this anime show is awsome, yay. i really like it and can not wait until the third movie comes to canada. the art is great and i wish i could get lesons on how to draw that good, my favorite part about the art is the eyes how they chage how sometime they are all googly and sometimes they are normal. or how the sweat drop or anime fall. and the outfits are well drawn. i really enjoy how the bodies are drawn. i enjoy the designs on the outfits the most. i love the hair how it flows and. The characters in the inuyasah series are only a little bit life like, meaning you can picture them real or meaning it kinda looks real.

Sound
The music in Inuyasha is beautiful, i listen to it everyday. i like the lyrics even though i don't know what half of them mean because they are in japanese, but i do wish to learn what they mean. the music kind of flows and i find it to be quite satisfying. i would and do chose to listen to the music from the inuyasha series over any other music. i like the different musical instruments and the timing of the music. i like that the music almost goes with what it is playing over (the ending or beginning) or in the middle of i episode how it goes with what is happening.

Presentation
The reviewable factors are awsome, i find that the inuyasha series has humor, originality, and is enjoyable to watch. some of the humor is when kagome sit's inuyasha or when sango slaps miroku, it is original because it has a little bit of everything romance,humor,sad,happy,fun,adventure etc... they is romance between inuyasha and kagome and between inuyasha and kikyo and between miroku and sango and some sort of romance between koga and kagome (not really) and some sort of romance between koga and ayame (not really) it is sad when someone good dies, in the third movie (i've seen clips how inupappa risks his life for inuyasha and his mother, and it is a mixed emotion when sesshomaru accepts rin into their group, there are many times when it is happy like when Kagome and inuyasha start to get along etc, my favorite type of part in the inuyasha series is when it is more of an adventure feeling or a mixed feeling., but if i had to chose just one thig it would have to be romance. well thats a little bit about the review factors.

Inuyasha is a great show. I'd give it a 10. The only problem that I have with it is that it is SO LONG. It's still a good show though.

I think a C+ is a fair grade. The only thing I dislike about Inuyasha is the plot. The jewel shard hunt gets really long and dragging after a while and the story takes too long to tell. But I love everything else about the series.

I personally give it a B-. From an action genre point of view it sucks. It sucks bad, the main villain is cliche and the series itself is repetitive after a while. The music is alright, i like some tracks better than others.
Like you said what really makes this show is the characters.
I find them to be surprisingly deep and complex. There is a lot more to Miroku then they make out. Inuyasha cares so much more about kagome then they ever tell you.
Sango has a dark past and Kagome has this unknown sort of inner conflict that they never talk about.
I overanalyze everything so maybe im the only one who sees all this...but i mean if you think about it, it really makes sense.
From an outside point of view, Miroku proposes to Sango randomly without ever saying he loved her. They go the whole series without ever saying that they love each other. Why? Because it was always understood, they never needed to say it.I really don't like the overall story, except for the love triangle between kagome, kikyo, and inuyasha. The side story on sango &miroku's romance is my favorite part of the show.

I love inuyasha though. It kinda gets draggy after so many episodes and i do agree that the reclaiming of the jewel really took so long! The front of the story was much more appealing. On the overall, i'd give this a B+ though. Hah.. credit for the work the cast put into making this show possible and the nice soundtrack by many famous artists like Ayumi and BOA.
Good job on the review too. =)
