Reviving this on purpose because I went back and started from the beginning. Having never seen all the episodes of the original. I originally started watching some years back around the Tsubaki arc.
Show is pretty decent. Dub and sub are great. Holy shit the bully from A Christmas Story's irl mom is Kaede. It is bittersweet seeing Miroku
I remember people were really pissed it wasn't airing on Toonami. I know the main reason is that its almost nearing TV-MA territory but only slightly. Mistress Centipede's skin falling off is nightmare fuel. The character nudity isn't sexualized. Also I can see why they didn't air it on Toonami because the violence is a lot more graphic than say Naruto or DBZ. Kagura slaughtering the tribe anyone? Yura of the Hair losing her limbs, decapitations galore, it is all reminiscent of Princess Mononoke.
The bickering between Inuyasha and Kagome isn't as annoying as I thought because it honestly is better than them being generic boring protagonists. The Kikyo/Kagome wars was apparently a more violent version of the Twilight Jacob/Edward wars and may have forced Kagome's original VA into retirement.
All in all its delightful. And I appreciate that it isn't 5 episodes of one single battle ala DBZ.
