Kauru Wada delivers a breathtaking score to InuYasha, coupling with its J-pop opening and closing themes. Overall, InuYasha’s animation was pretty, but nothing truly spectacular. The swings of enormous swords and boomerangs were often represented by flashing white lines, which were enough to get the basic point across, but went no further than that. The battle sequences were poorly done, most likely because the animators had already spent so much money on the series’ gorgeous backgrounds. The character designs were bold and easy on the eyes, but reminded me somehow of a higher-budget Rurouni Kenshin. It quickly regains its original momentum and vigor whenever key plot elements are introduced however. Nevertheless, there were several moments when the animation thrust itself downhill, particularly close to where it was cut short at episode 167. With drastic alterations in art styles spanning from the original manga by Rumiko Takahashi, it takes on a much more colorful and clean effect. It was evident since episode 1, that InuYasha was a fairly high-budget series.


Still, I must be practical, because even with the elements of fantasy and adventure that it overlooks, the plot of InuYasha remains so-so at best. Now, that isn’t to say that I didn’t enjoy it, because I most certainly did. It is captivating enough to absorb members of a mainstream audience, but should without a doubt stick within the zone of comfort that it presents to those viewers, while attempting to swerve away from more critical thinkers. For such a series, there is really no need for a plot development deeper than, “You two were in love fifty years ago?” That single phrase sums up large amounts of the story, simply due to the fact that InuYasha is, in short, a romantic time-traveling fairy tale with a demonic twist. Along with InuYasha, she swears to collect all of the shards before they fall into the wrong hands.Ĭonsidering the fact that it is admired still by thousands of fans across the world, the combination of noticeable plot holes and overused character interactions appears to suit InuYasha just fine. Her adventures begin after she shatters the Sacred Shikon Jewel said to grand its wielder unrelenting power.
