Inuyasha Returns: Electric Boogaloo - Yashahime thread

[BrunoMattei]

I'm confused. This is a good thing?

I demand that all sequel parody titles are named after the City Slickers sequel instead of Breakin'.

I would say that the early parts of Inuyasha had a good vibe. Had a nice mix of adventure and kinda horror/mystery.
In the long run the show got really flat, and ass pulls and the occasional power creep made the thing into a mess.
Also having one (1) main villain for 400 chapters is very hard to pull, and I think the creator didn't hit the mark.
The setting the way it was portrayed it didn't support such a thing.

Not to mention... the plot was literally solved when the jewel got destroyed. But oh well, thanks to brand recognition making new things is bad. Sad. I wonder when will they start remaking old shoens? Like you have your saint Seiya, Dragon Ball, Yuyu hakusho being remade into an anime... again. lol

Loved the show back in the day on adult swim. Looking back, holy shit was Kagome a shrieking banshee. Inuyasha himself was my dawg, though.

Kagome aka literal Japanese Schoolgirl:
short
rides a bike
is a bitch

Sango aka cool Boomerang Girl:
tall
has a cool flying battle cat
is cute

Eh, Rumiko Takahashi’s newer work isn’t as great as Ranma tho.

 

[PS1gamenwatch]

I’m surprised Ranma never had a comeback or reboot apart from the OVA a few years back considering how gender bender is a bit trendy in manga/doujins and also the popularity of Your Name.

The animal cookies scene.

That clip is missing the Kodachi animal crackers part

Hah, this was the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread.

Rumiko Takahashi was great at setting up stories but could never seem to end the damn things, I bailed on the InuYasha TV series when they introduced a whole new set of underling villains (great, more Japanese names to keep track of,) then Naraku split off his human half (thus removing the only thing that made him interesting,) and then the show just kind of ended. I'd heard they made a proper ending for the series later, but damned if I'm going to waste any more of my time on this franchise. (I even made a movie poster showing what I think the true title for the series should've been...)

 

[Trashfire Garbagefuck]

any time I hear the word "inuyasha" I think of this

 

[Aqua Panda]

The early years of Inuyasha were fun and I generally enjoyed it. Stopped watching like many once the filler got really bad.

I like the concept of the next generation though. Inuyasha/Kagomes daughter sounds and reminds me a lot of female Ranma.

Could be the story of why modern day has no knowledge of or any living monsters and demons. That was always one really big story plot that was never answered with the time tunnel in the original show/manga.

I don't really watch much newer anime anymore, but I'll throw up the first episode to see what they do with it.

Reading those bios....I take it Toward Tomorrow never happened? Why doesn't it Setsuna's brother but does mention her twin sister? Also, what's up with the ages? The twins would have been older than Kagome's kid and Sesshomaru's kid would probably be even younger if he didn't just flat out adopt Rin (Doubt he would have a child with someone he watched grow up into a woman, he doesn't seem like that sort of character).
It reads of a bad retcon or fanfiction.

Wife Husbandry has been a thing in Japan since the Tale of Genji. I suppose they consider it less icky if the male raising the girl is long-lived or immortal since, technically, every mortal woman he'd marry would have been a baby at some time during his life. (They, of course, never mention what will happen when the mortal wife grows "older" than her husband and it looks like she's robbing the cradle...)

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

Kirby Morrow as Miroku and Kelly Sheridan as Sango....along with Scott McNeil and Janyse Jaud as Koga and Kagura were also iconic. Personally found all four to be superior to their seiyuu counterparts. Kappei is just too iconic as Inuyasha tho lol.

I wanna see what Daddy Miroku and Mommy Sango have been up to. Though since Miroku I guess finally got someone to bear his children I wonder what he'll do now.

I just hope its not another Kurenai situation ala Naruto: actually do shit, then get pregnant and become a side character for the rest of the series

She's something of a one-trick pony, and that trick is to create a series using the current most popular genre, and miIk it dry. That's why she did comedy stories about pervy guys and sexy girls for the shonen demographic, and later used martial arts and Chinese imagery and characters while creating Ranma 1/2 because of how huge Dragon Ball had become. And then shojo exploded in popularity so she created Inuyasha and miIked that dry too.

I've been a huge InuYasha fan ever since it was first on Adult Swim. Like yeah, I know it's shit, but I get hard nostalgia and just have to rewatch or read it from time to time. I just dig it. I also have a guilty pleasure for kidfic so I'm curious to see how this is executed. Definitely watching.

 

[Jason Wynn]

Meh, I was never really into this. My friend used to watch it all the time back in the day (and would insist I watch it as well when he came over)

I will say I always liked that song Fukai Mori they played during some end credits.

Agreed. Its so watchable imo

I was kinda under the impression that InuYasha might've been partially-inspired by Ushio & Tora what with the use of yokai and a dash of yokai/human romance, and that her works and Fujita's were serialized in Shounen Sunday together. InuYasha also came into the picture shortly after U&T ended its run.

But incorporating shoujo elements into shounen could've also been directly inspired by Escaflowne. Far as I can tell, she wasn't publishing anything in between Ranma's last chapter to InuYasha's first chapter.

I for one am looking forward to a sequel to The Greatest Story Ever Told.
Though, I doubt it will ever happen considering interest in Scryed seems to have died down completely.

She made Firetripper which was a proto-Inuyasha. If that is how she does things, I'm wondering if she will try to capitalize on Your Name or Weathering With You, or some of the stories Korean webtoons have. I wonder if they will be any good or train wreck or just meh, if she tried.

Well, Scryed made the mistake of killing nearly all of its cast. It's like wondering why there isn't a sequel to the Titanic.

Remember this series existing means that Inu-Yasha fucking Kagome is canon.

Also this series will have an ending, unless they do a season 2.
