      without spoiler, the summary of the story is that kagome, the girl in uniform falls into the well in her garden and finds herself in a world where humans and demons live together. she will meet inuyasha the guy with dog ears who is half human half demon and they will go in search of a sacred pearl destroyed in many pieces. funny thing, the anime is not really an isekai because kagome can go home whenever she wants. so there are moments in the real world and in the fantasy world.

    *Rumiko Takahashi* single handedly created 100s of troupes we see now in Shounen RomComs & Ecchi anime, back when female Mangakas were used to be stereotyped for only writing Shoujo & Horror Mangas, She was one of the few who created tons of Classics for the Shounen Demographics from *InuYasha* to *Urusei Yatsura* to *Ranma 1/2,* all of them really do revolutionaries the RomCom genre in Shounen Magazines with their Supernatural touch & she'll always be one of the GOATs in the scene 🛐

      Like every actual Anime they've produced from *JoJo Part 6* to even the new season of *Kimi Ni Todoke,* they never promote them properly & that resulted into these shows getting overlooked cuz as i said earlier THEY DON'T CARE (don't even get me started on their horrible release schedules instead of weekly airing) & that also shows now into the news of *DanDaDan, Ranma remake & the Mononoke movie,* all 3 of them getting leaked which were surprisingly being produced by Netflix.

    The reason these old shows look like paintings is because they ARE paintings. They were made before the era of digital animation (more specifically, between the transition to digital), with cel animation, basically clear sheets artists would physically layer on top of each other under a big camera rig to achieve the sort of layering that comes standard with any digital art program now, to create a single frame of animation with its background. They'd make physical paintings for these shots.
    Inuyasha was one of the shows that released in the transition between this and digital animation, so you can see the visuals change to something more digital as you get later into its run. It ran for most of the manga in the original run of the show, then they came back years later to finish the story well after the move to digital in Inuyasha: The Final Act. No other real differences for the 2 shows though, it's just the last arc of the manga.
    Certified classic, one of the shows that introduced my generation in the US to anime, a few years after the big Dragonball, Sailor Moon boom, which is where I was introduced to it. Inuyasha though, among the rest of the Adult Swim anime lineup, is what introduced me to anime as a concept. Before that, I understood stuff like Dragonball as just another kind of cartoon...I mean, it IS, but there's a different cultural meaning to anime that I hadn't picked up on till then. I wouldn't have called it anime, I'd have just called it a cartoon before.
    The endings are actually more iconic than the openings in this one, at least in the US. Because of how they were broadcast, we didn't actually GET the openings, the episode would just start. Nothing like being 14 years old, staying up WAY later than you should to get in your anime fix, sitting in the dark watching Inuyasha, and hearing those endings come on as the sun started coming up.

    I'm going to cry!!! Inuyasha is so very near and dear to my heart! I always say this is the one anime that pushed me into the world of anime. I grew up with anime (sailor moon, dragon ball, cardcaptor sakura, captain tsubasa, saint seiya etc) but i was a little girl so i didn't know it was anime and i didn't even know what anime meant. That is until middle school, when i found Inuyasha. I fell in love with it and then started my anime journey, FMA, Soul Eater, Death Note, all animes i found because of Inuyasha. So this hits me right in my nostalgic heart 😭
    The love i have for this anime can't be put into words.

      There's 2 really really good endings though, and a couple other solid ones too, so I do understand the sentiment that endings are better, just don't agree that they're "a lot better and more remembered"

    3:00 multiple tails is essentially the most 'basic' design to denote a mystical creature in Japanese mythology. Fun thing: Inuyasha literally means Dog (Inu) Spirit (Yasha) and Yasha (Yaksha, the original Sanskrit word) are generally benevolent, if sometimes capricious, nature spirits/deities.

    Inuyasha came out in 2000. It was a very big show for many it was THE big show after Dragonball/ Sailor Moon and before Naruto/One Piece/Bleach. It has a pretty huge following. It also is VERY dark at times and had a habit of airing at 3am in the US.
    It is time travel...but to an ancient Japan with magic and Demons.. so is it an Isekai? thats a debate actually.
    The school uniform should have been a clue that transport and not reincarnation is involved. (plenty of death but out main charcter does not start out by dieing)

    Well, Inuyasha is another classic by Rumiko Takahasi herself (Ranma 1/2, Maison Ikoku, Urasei Yatsura...). I respect this woman a lot and it's just too funny to me when people say women can't be popular in the industry, looking at her work and so many other female author.
    So, basically, you could say Inuyasha is a mix of Isekai and time traveling. Kagome is a highschool girl living her life at her family shrine until, on her 15 birthday, a strange creature came out of the old well and transport her in the past, 500 years ago, back where mystical creatures, demons and yoki still existed in Japan. She was targeted for a reason : Kagome in the raincarnation of Kikyo, a shrine maiden who died 500 years ago protecting a dangerous object, the Shikon no Tama. The pearl grants demons great powers and can be used for bad deeds by human too. She only escaped thanks to Inuyaha, a half demon teenage boy (his mother was human, his father was a powerful demon dog) who wants to become a full demon. The pearl get shattered in the fight and it's up to both of them to find every little pieces across Japan.

    Long story short: the main character is Kagome Higurashi (girl in schoolgirl outfit) that, by falling in a old well she founds herself displaced in the sengoku era (1467/1607) filled with all kinds of mystical threats; there she frees a sealed half-dog demon (Inuyasha) with which she is forced into a quest to retrieve all the fragments of an immensely powerful artifact.
    Oh, BTW: Inuyasha is from Rumiko Takahashi, also the creator of Urusei Yatsura and Ranma 1/2; you can check the animated short "it's a rumic world" to see a brief crossover.
    BTW the "tailed beast" trope is tied to japanese mythology, in which many creatures grew new tails when growing old enough (usually one each century); the more tails a beas have the more powerful it grows.
    The most notorious case is the nine-tailed fox (kyuubi), which you can see referenced in... pretty much everything...
    -Okami, in whitch the kyuubi is a main antagonist
    -League of Legends has Ahri
    -Pokémon has Ninetales (also Zoroark, referring more to the shapeshifting abilities of the foxes)
    -Digimon has Renamon, able to digivolve into Kyubimon
    -Fate has Koyanskaya
    -Love, Death and Robots has a shapeshifting fox episode (ep 8)
    -SCP 953 references the KOREAN version of the nine tailed fox myth (Kumiho)
    -Naruto, where the main character houses the Kyuubi within his own body
    -Sonic, in which Tails is a young fox with just two... well... tails
    -Hololive has a certain very young one tailed white fox spirit who calls her viewers "friends"
    Fun fact: while you have seen a two tailed cat right here in Inuyasha (Kirara), pokemon also references the Nekomata (two tailed cat) with Espeon... the name "Nekomata" may also remind you of a certain someone... hint: "mogu mogu"🍙

    IIRC, when the show aired in Italy, it had an English version of the first opening. The voice actors changed after a certain point and maybe then they returned to the japanese opening, but the initial batch of episodes had English lyrics and was sung by the Italian voice of Inuyasha (for those initial episodes), Massimiliano Alto, credited as "Max Alto" for the song.
    I'm just recalling it from my memory from 20+ years ago, I haven't fact-checked any of this right now.
    UPDATE: Yes, there is "Inuyasha change the world by Massimiliano Alto" on youtube!

    Inuyasha is a DOG Half Demon (Inu Hanyo). Inu means dog.
    Inuyasha follows Kagome Higurashi, a modern-day high school girl who is transported to feudal Japan through a mystical well. There, she meets Inuyasha, a half-demon who was sealed to a tree by the priestess Kikyo. Kagome discovers that she is Kikyo’s reincarnation and possesses the Shikon Jewel, which grants immense power. After accidentally shattering the jewel, Kagome and Inuyasha must work together to collect its shards before they fall into the hands of evil beings, particularly Naraku, a cunning demon who seeks the jewel for himself. Along their journey, they gather allies like Shippo, Miroku, and Sango while facing numerous challenges and uncovering their feelings for each other. 95% of problems are caused by Naraku, who just won't die!

    Edit: That last opening wasn't the last one! There are 7 seasons to InuYasha, the last one just took forever to come out and got called "the final act!"
    02:52 Oh yeah, Japan has legends around multi-tailed beasts. The Kitsune (fox yōkai) is a famous one, with the number of tails indicating how powerful they are. I believe Nekomata is the term for the cat variant ("Neko" = "cat") and I've usually seen the cat depicted with two tails.
    P.S. - something you'll want for anime if you don't know it already:
    "Yōkai" often gets translated into "demon" in anime, but a quick google search describes yōkai as a catch-all term for tricksters, mythical beasts, demons, monsters, ghosts, etc.
    "Demon" in anime doesn't necessarily mean Christian/Catholic demons or creatures of hell - you kind of have to guess from context how "demon" is being used - though you could say that's true for fantasy stories written in English, too. I'll leave it up to you if you want to go further into origins of the terms "demon" and "daemon"

    Inuyasha was the very first anime I ever saw. I was introduced to it by my friends in high school. It’s funny that you say it looks essentially just like a sweet, happy story-because it was only on adult swim. I used to sneak downstairs while my parents and sister were asleep to stay up past midnight to watch Inuyasha because it didn’t air until nighttime. It’s considered adult, there’s blood, guts and some nudity (though the nudity is not really shown-but obviously not considered for kids).
    I had never seen even Pokémon or anything before I met my friends in high school who showed me Inuyasha.
    You’re not correct about it being isekai reincarnation, but more on the money with time travel. The story honestly is much better than today’s. The concept is much better.
    I do recommend but unfortunately it is a very long series. That’s the only part that makes its entry for new watchers daunting I think. I do wish it was shorter personally, but the story is good.

    Actually, I'd want to see this added to the main slot votings in the future. It's an absolute classic.
    And also, Ranma 1/2, which is by the same Mangaka (Rumiko Takahashi, who also wrote Urusei Yatsura) is getting a remake this fall, so that is my suggestion for the next one you react to weekly, as soon as it's out.
    As for the multiple tails thing: That is just Japanese folklore. There is multiple Yokai that have multiple tails, including Kitsune (a fox spirit that has 6 tails) and Nekomata (A cat with 2 tails) and all of the anime creatures you have seen with those features are based on those Yokai.
    Oh, and for the School Uniform thing: MOST people don't HAVE a school uniform, that is basically only a thing in parts of Asia and in the UK.

    Yup, time traveller , she goes through a well and goes some 500 years back 'where demons and spirits wander around', she's the reincarnation of the long hair priestress that was in love with the red clothes half-demon dude [Inuyasha]. The magical sword was kind of made from his father fang [big demon wolf]. Inuyasha was 'sealed by magic' and was released by the school girl, they later recover a necklace with super-duper magical powers the she commands [she says 'sit', and Inuyasha is forced to the ground, used for comic relief]. There's some romantic drama between some characters, the villain [and every other demon around] wants the necklace, the neckalce breaks into hunder pieces, forward 140 episodes and we get a classic 90s ending. 10/10 would enjoy again.
    PS. About the sound effects on the opening, Gundam Wing rings me a bell

    Hey Luke. The creator of Inuyasha also made Ranma 1/2 and Uresai Yatsura. Speaking of which, there is a remake of Ranma 1/2 coming out very soon, in a couple months (during next Anime season). I hope you'll consider watching the remake. Maybe as a Patreon anime if it isn't censored. But its likely to be censored, based on the trailer we have seen.
    Ranma 1/2 has a surprisingly large international fanbase, so it would perform well on UA-cam for views.
    The original Ranma 1/2 would HAVE to be watched on Patreon, as it occasionally shows breasts.

Kaoru Wada is the composer for the instrumentals and his work is *chef's kiss. The opening themes are very memorable. The ending themes are also just as memorable and hopefully you react to them sometime. I'm getting nostalgic for this series. - might pop a few episodes in now! Openings are adventure poppy but the ending themes tend to be the emotional aspect of the series where it's a bit more slow with ballads and tempo.

    There are 2 kinds VERY VERY VERY commonly know in folktales and media which are quite popular having multiple tails...
    Kitsune (fox) - YOKAI (monster) foxes gain a tail every 100 years they have been alive with them getting stronger at using their mysterious powers with each tail... Up to 9 tails.... Obviously over time the "trope" has been getting simplified for the sake of telling faster developing stories and nowadays the tails grow as the characters grow stronger instead of agind... Meaning any fox girl or boy in a fantasy setting will eventually end up with 9 tails if the story goes long enough...
    Nekomata (cats) - Yokai (monster) cat that after living long enough to gain special powers and awareness gets their tail split in 2... same deal as the kitsune mostly but nekomatas are not often depicted as powerful and regal as the Kitsune since nekomata are often run of the mill yokai monsters while kitsune are often close to devine beings in mythology like guardians of temples and gods...
    There may be other animals like that but those are the 2 more commonly known...

    7:31 keep in mind "Isekai" just means "new world". this does not define if its "reincardnation" (dying and born in a new world), or transmigration (dying or not dying, but being stuck in a different body/character in another world) or if its some form of transportation (aka just going as is, with their own body to another world, for example like digimon)

    Inuyasha is an adventure show most of all, but it also does have a lot of focus on romance or more like relationships between characters, (trying not to spoil anything) there's a lot of exploration in regard to how people form bonds and how people deal with emotions of losing those bonds. But yeah, it's a great show, a little long for what it is, but if you're in the mood for more romance/drama-leaning shonen, i feel like it's a very good option.
    It's not exactly lighthearted, there is some dark stuff in it, but it typically doesn't go overboard with it, so there's still quite a lot of comedic and just fun moments.
    Short description: Kagome -- a modern day teenager -- gets dragged into a magical well that transports her into the times of Sengoku Jidai (Warring States period), but surprisingly the world at this time is also filled with magic, monsters and mystical items. She then is recognized as a reincarnation of Kikyo, a priestess who protected a local village from demons, but who's believed to been killed a long time ago by a half-demon-dog -- Inuyasha -- now sealed by a cursed arrow to a tree. When the mystical Sacred Jewel which grants immense power is shattered, Kagome and Inuyasha, who is released from a curse and now bound to follow Kagome, must find every piece before someone with evil intentions does it first. On their journey they meet monster huntress Sango (girl with a giant boomerang) and her demonic fox Kirara, a shapeshifter Shippo (tanuki character), and perverted priest with a dangerous secret Miroku. They also fight against Inuyasha's half-brother a true-demon-dog Sesshomaru, Koga from a wolf-clan, and seemingly endless demonic (and not) forces of Naraku.

    Luke!!! I would like to recomend you a manga named Witch Hat Atelier (listen to me, you can't miss out on this one!) For now there's just the manga but a few weeks ago they announced the anime and I would love for you to react to trailer of it!
    And if you don't want to react to it please watch it for yourself because it's a 10/10 story with 10/10 characters and 10/10 art. Really, please don't miss out on this one!

    You have made me want to watch Inuyasha again. I think it was around 2012 the last time I watched it xD. Honestly, the openings before were something else. They were the more artistic part and focused on introducing you to the characters with beautiful metaphors. Nowadays anime openings seem like quick trailers full of spoilers XD

    I grew up watching Inuyasha, everything in spanish cuz i didn't even learn how to read or speak english, it was pretty dope, i love the openings and endings of Inuyasha, i rarely like an anime's endings but Inuyasha is the exception for me, i really hope you watch it!
