    Inuyasha A Feudal Fairy Tale was an anime and manga series created by Rumiko Takahashi, filled with funny moments, sad moments, epic fight scenes, and an iconic OST (Original Sound Track). Inuyasha, along with its sequel series, Hanyo No Yashahime delivered some of the best moments in classic and modern anime, and I'm glad I was able to share the experience with all of you. In this retrospective analysis/ Anime Review we take a look at each season, character, philosophy and relationship in the series.

    I grew up in an abusive home with my stepfather and I used to stay up late when everyone was asleep to catch Inuyasha on adult swim and it became my own pocket of solace. Then when I moved to Maine with my dad during high school we would always stay up to watch the new episodes together on Saturdays. It became an icon for me and even to this day when I watch it late at night or during hard times, I always feel safe.

    I will never get over how wholesome and adorable Rin's introduction is. She finds a wounded person in the forest and tries to share what little food she has with him. When the person says he has no need for human food, she does her best to try and find him... demon food. Frogs and insects, that sort.

    Watching Yashahime, it really feels like a dysfunctional D&D campaign more than Inuyasha ever did. They keep squabbling, refusing to bite at quest hooks, and splitting the party, and you can imagine the DM trying to contrive a way to get things back on track.

      Yes! This is it exactly. It felt just like a DnD campaign. As a friend once pointed out; you've got the player who thinks being edgey is cool and makes them some how a better player then everyone else. The one who picked a concept (bounty hunter) and falls back on it as a motivation as needed and is just silly the rest of the time. And then the one who went and made a complex backstory tying them to the other characters but edgy is too busy being edgy and silly is too busy being silly

      I suppose if Yashahime has a slower and more character focused pace, it would be better. The Yashahime manga is quite different having 2 of the main characters raised together in Kaede's village. Both the manga and anime of Yashahime did something interesting on their own.

Learning to move on. Learning to be true to yourself. Learning what it is to be alive. Learning to admit your sins and guilt. The list go on. All the side characters, villains and inuyasha party have their own lessons and themes to learn and master. The show explore a wide variety of life themes in life itself.

    I cannot begin to describe how obsessed I was with inuyasha growing up. From like 3rd grade to 8th/9th that was my thing. I’d get a tape and record the episode on adult swim. I drew tons of fan art, bought the cards, the video games, magazine, and a coloring book. I also came to sneak preview for the 3rd movie. It was a big bus in front of a Walmart where they were gonna show the first couple minutes of the movie in the bus. I was probably 12, 13 among a bunch of adults in their 20-30s with my mom. But it was so worth it. Watching that opening with other fans is such a rush. I was psyched when final act came out. And stunned when yashahime came out.
    I can’t tell you how crazy invested I was in the love triangle and would hate whenever Kikyo came up around inuyasha. Now it’s more of indifference, but before, it was classic fangirl hate.

      I enjoyed Yashahime too if only just because it was new content from one of my first anime. I definitely would love to see an InuYasha remake as well. I’m not sure what the reception of the series would be in the 2020s. With some of the specific 2000s anime traits it has. Though, a new coat of paint would help preserve Rumiko’s work and create new fans. I think the old one has just aged a lot. Even as a diehard fan it’s not as bright as it used to be back then. The 4:3 screen kills me. Just minor stuff that with a remake would fix.
      I do think fans might enjoy it. It’s basically an isekai, but because it came out then it might have differences that feel just new enough to help isekai not feel so stale. Then I don’t remember much nudity/ fanservice in the series aside from the really tame Ep.1 with Mistress Centipede and Miroku aside. Though even with Miroku, I don’t remember much nudity. He just likes to admire the women in the series, but no excessive nudity is present. Even when a rare scene comes up, it’s closer to Spice & Wolf ep1 than anything else. It’s pretty tame compared to other series.
      I remember liking the series back then for partly that reason. It might pass the modern fan’s aversion to fanservice or (accepting modern anime still has fanservice even in the most popular shows).

A little over a decade later and I was finally able to buy the complete series, all 4 movies and the complete manga set.

I also had a few different first anime. Rurouni Kenshin was the first I watched and I simultaneously watched Inuyasha due to seeing the first OP theme. Then I was also exposed to Ranma. I watched all of them at the same time back and forth with my friend group during the time.

    Kagome and Inuyasha's developing relationship into love really stands out to me because it's the best instance of an enemies-to-lovers relationship I've seen in an anime, apart from Toradora. Usually enemies-to-lovers relationships in anime boil down to the girl beating the shit out of her love interest until she comes to terms with the fact that she likes him. The relationships are heavily weighed one side or another, and the guy usually just stumbles into the relationship without it ever being shown his own feelings toward her. In Inuyasha, it was really fun to see Inuyasha and Kagome work out their differences and slowly become more cohesive as a team, confiding in each other more and more as their feelings grow. While it has its flaws, the love story's the best part of Inuyasha IMO.

I remember being terrified of the violence, but there was something so compelling about Kagome and Inuyasha’s relationship and the dynamic the whole group had.

Scenes with instrumental music in the background were incredible. The happy, comedy, fights, fun, romance and sad moments you felt every emotion in Inuyasha.

The music is one of its most impactful, what do you expect from the apprentice of Akira Ifukube (the man who created the theme to Godzilla)

    Your comments on kagome are correct, she is how a 15 year old girl would be like and her growth is amazing. She’s one of my fav characters because she’s relatable and well written. She’s a great lead to inuyasha. Their bond and relationship is also relatable. Couples fight and betray either other but it’s a choice to love someone in spite of that. She’s his anchor and she’s an incredible partner for him

I loved every minute of your video and it truly brought me back to the time I use to stay up late watching this in middle school. I felt like Inuyasha to me, was my first “mature” anime and I felt so cool watching it. The story literally had everything for everyone so it was definitely a relatable show. I discovered you while starting Yashahime and fell off, but with you catching us up it definitely helped a lot!!! Thankyou so much again and continue being great with these vids!

I can't tell you how many times I have seen this particular anime but I always come back. I love how when I watched it as a kid , teen and an adult something have changed in my mind and characters that I see differently. The music is one of my all time favorite.

    Wow, that tattoo is awesome. That was the point you earned my sub, not even 10 minutes into what I am pretty sure is the first video of yours that I've seen. But, for a long while (not quite going all the way back to the almost 20 YEARS it's been since I first became acquainted with and a fan of Inuyasha, but at least since I learned that it's probably not even the most popular or impactful work that Rumiko Takahashi created, at least not in Japan) I've been curious about the topic that comprises the content of this video, so I also wanna thank you for the effort and time you doubtless put in to make something that (presumably, I am only 10 minutes in, haha) is comprehensive af. I really do appreciate it when I find something that answers questions I have held for awhile without being sure of how to find the answers. You rock

    One of the main things that pissed me off about Kikyo even when watching the series all the way through for the first time during lockdown was that even after she learned the truth about the misunderstanding between her and Inuyasha, she _still_ insisted on holding onto that anger. Like, I get it, she was basically an angry spirit with her last resentful thought imprinted on her mind, but that didn’t make every time she was needlessly petty and spiteful towards Kagome any less annoying. I just found myself wishing most of the time “someone please put this poor zombie out of her misery.” Maybe I’d appreciate her more after a second viewing of the series, but boy was it hard for me to like her the first time around.

    • @anglo-saxonconnor817
      @anglo-saxonconnor817 Рік тому +6

      The author wanted to made her creations flawed and human. It take time for all the characters in inuyasha to either let go or develop. Kikyo is just one of them in it and in her case she did have alot of anger and regrets to release as well as coming to terms with new feelings that she have never experienced when she was alive. But she came through in the middle part of the story and her former kind nature returned back to her.

    • @Zarastro54
      @Zarastro54 Рік тому +5

      @@anglo-saxonconnor817 Yeah, I know. I completely agree, but as I said, knowing _why_ she was the way she was doesn't make her behavior any less irritating. It just contextualizes it.

    crying in the club rn with that intro forreal. inuyasha was my gateway into anime; i remember being extremely sick and having slept all day so i was wide awake at night and i snuck into my living room to watch tv in the wee hours of the morning. i was 11 so naturally i turned on cartoon network thinking there would be cartoons, but instead there was a dog boy with a sword. had no idea what the hell was going on but i was instantly hooked. thanks for this retrospective and for reminding me why i loved this series so much.

    The intro GOT ME, who else remembers waking up in the wee hours after falling asleep watching Toonami, then hearing Fukai Mori come on? Inu Yasha was one of the first anime I really got into (behind Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z as a kid of course) Toonami really opened the world of anime for so many of us! This series just gives me a nostalgia that I love. Might have to rewatch it sometime soon. I had some of the manga and the DVDs! Great video.
