Inu Yasha


The most epic anime with a story line that just attaches itself to your life. It feels like its a part of you at the end of the series which is ,'Inu Yasha Final Act'. You get to know all about each character like you just became friends with them, the animators have done a great job doing that. If I was ever given a chance to own a deadly weapon I always imagine Inu Yasha's sword (the Tetsusaiga). The battles in the anime, the story, the music, the comedy, the direction, its all really great; leading to an amazing experience.

I wont go into every detail of the story but it's generally about Inu Yasha who is a half demon and aspires to become a full demon, he has a tragic past and is often haunted by it. Then there is Kagome who was an ordinary high school girl who fell into a magic well in her family shrine and landed in the demon world where Inu Yasha is. There is a relic called the Shikon jewl which has a great amount of power and is the reason that Inu Yasha has suffered so much. Kagome destroys this jewl and due to which its fragments have spread all over the demon world. Now demons are trying to find these fragments and reform the jewl and control its power. Naraku who is a strong demon, is the biggest threat to the world and has caused problems to many people including all the people that are important to the story. Basically Kagome and Inu Yasha set out to find the jewl and stop Naraku, on their journey they meet Shippo a fox demon, Miroku a cursed monk and Sango who is a demon slayer along with her brother Kohaku. By the end of the series you will know all of these people well. So it's all about how Inu Yasha changes in character because of his friends and vice versa and become a better person (or demon...) there's much, MUCH more to the story but you'll have to watch to find out.


The drawbacks start with the fact that it can be a bit cliche, also there are a few love triangles in the story which are a good aspect of the anime, but they can be a bit of a drag. Lastly, SOME of the episodes are too monotonous.

I give it a 9/10. overall a great anime- you can't get bored of it!
