Story & Characters

Inuyasha/200episodes/4movies/suggested rating:pg13-Violence, language, suggestive scenes

I have seen most of this show and most of the movie so.... here's my real opinion. sorry if it upsets you....

The base story is alright but there are way to to many episodes. It is a series that should have been less then 40 episodes but was to stretched out. It's very repetitive. The two main characters (Inuyasha and Kagome) are kinda whinny and annoying, especially in the japanese version. The story line is also very shallow, there is no deeper meaning. Some so the side story is ok, but when yo ucan't like the main characters, watching that anime becomes pointless. While it does make a good starter anime, I'll give it that, but it's nothing that should be on the top list. If it is yon your list, I suggest finding and watching some new series'. It was once on the top of mine when I first got into anime but now.... well, I'm really into anime and found series' it can't compare to. If this is the only series you like or one of your favorites, get out gthere and watch new stuff because You'll just be blown away with what you find =^.^=

End Result: good starter- not for the experienced

Rating

2 (very poor)

Art

Now, The art is pretty good. Some of it isn't great, but of course all animes have their flaws in art. I mean, You must consider how many drawings they make. This series has many characters.... many side characters that is.... and I'd give it's art a pretty good rating. It's alright. I cannot say it's "the best" because I've seen much better in series' like gunslinger girl, Blue Gender, Trigun, Bebop, etc. But it's art isn't painful to look at or anything... except I think they need to learn how to draw guys and girl differantlyu because a lot of the characters gendeer issues... >< *sweatdrop*

Sound

Now, The music I enjoy. It's very good and really does fit where they put it in and I will listen to it on a regular basis. I really do enjoy it ^^ They have many songs (considering the length of the series) and I honestly like them.

The voices... now that..... The main to characters are whinny but the voices fit them cause they're just whinny people/demon^^. All the voices fit the charac ters at least.

so.... I'd have to say they did a really good job with their sound system stuff. I approve, this is highclass sound and good choices by both the japanese and the english sound guys.

Presentation

presentation? oh man.... terrible! I suppose it's originalty is ok and the series has some humor buty everything they does is soooooo shallow. In the last episode I watched the main characters were in danger of dieing and I wasn't even upset... I mean wtf is that? I don't enjoy watching it.... I don't even know why I do..... *sigh* I can't stress how shallow this series is.... and with 200 episodes.... It gets almost painful to watch.... It's still good to start on, just don't overdo it. It has humor, romance, action etc. but it's not deep. The series just don't have the ability to drag you in. I mean... the main character(Inuyasha) learns his sword's "greatest technic' like 4 or 5 times..... This series really really had potential but they really didn't do a good job... 200 episodes.... 200 EPISODES!!!!! @_@ that' this series's biggest problem. If they took out all the extra episodes and pointless infomation and stopped the fake drama it would have been excellent... >< which brings me to another point: the fake drama. Seriously! One of the main characters(kagome)is a school girl from our century who falls into a well that sends her back to feudal japan. she whinny and annoying and everyone thinks she's SOOOOOO prety and she's worrying about people who can handle themselves and well, if you watch this series you can find out for yourself.. though I suggest not watching it all together.... just listen to some of the music because it's good.
