Inuyasha

[Inuyasha]

Inuyasha is my favorite anime by far.  Bleach is my second, but Inuyasha will always be at number 1.  Anyone else think so?

Inuyasha is amoung the best but not number 1.  I like the movies to they are so awsome.

[Inuyasha]

Here's the summary from Wikipedia:

 
InuYasha (犬夜叉, InuYasha?), full title InuYasha, a Feudal Fairy Tale (戦国お伽草子–犬夜叉, Sengoku Otogi Zōshi InuYasha?) (also romanized as Inuyasha), is a popular Japanese manga series that was later adapted into an anime series. Written and illustrated by Japanese manga artist Rumiko Takahashi, the story centers around a time-traveling middle school student, a half-demon, a lecherous monk, a young fox demon, a demon slayer, and a nekomata during the Sengoku period who seek to restore the Jewel of Four Souls (Shikon no Tama) and to keep it out of the hands of the evil Naraku. This series also displays the hardships and chaos in that Japanese era.

The manga was adapted into a 167 episode anime series directed by Masashi Ikeda (episodes 1 to 44) and Yasunao Aoki (44 onwards) and produced by Sunrise. The anime first aired on Yomiuri TV in Japan from 16 October 2000 to 13 September 2004. The television run of the anime ceased without a conclusion to the story. As of September 2007, the manga is still being released in Japan.

In 2002, the manga won the Shogakukan Manga Award for best shōnen title of the year.



 Plot overview
 
The Jewel of Four SoulsThe story begins in Feudal Japan with InuYasha, a hanyo stealing the Shikon no Tama, a jewel that can increase anyone's powers enormously, from a village. He does not get far before Kikyo, the young miko of the village, shoots InuYasha with a sacred arrow, sealing him forever to Goshinboku, a tree in the nearby forest. Mortally wounded, Kikyo tells her younger sister, Kaede, to burn the jewel with her body to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.

In modern Tokyo, a junior high-school girl named Kagome Higurashi is on her way to school. She stops in the well house of her family's Shinto shrine to retrieve her cat, Buyo, when a centipede demon bursts forth and pulls her into the Sengoku period of Japan.

Not knowing where she is, Kagome wanders around a forest near the well. She spots Goshinboku off in the distance and proceeds towards it. When she reaches the tree, she finds InuYasha, who is still sealed with an arrow to the tree, asleep. Villagers seize her and take her to the old miko, Kaede. Recognizing that Kagome is the re-incarnation of her sister Kikyo, Kaede tells the story of Kikyo and InuYasha.

The centipede attacks again, and Kagome is forced to release InuYasha to kill it. After defeating the centipede, in order to prevent InuYasha from taking the Jewel of Four Souls, Kaede casts magical prayer beads around InuYasha's neck so Kagome can subdue him.

Then the jewel attracts more demons. In a battle against a carrion crow demon, the jewel is shattered into numerous shards.

Kagome and InuYasha set out to collect the shards and restore the Jewel of Four Souls. Along the way they befriend Shippo, a fox demon, Miroku, a cursed monk, and Sango, a demon-slayer whose brother was tricked into slaughtering the rest of their village. The group often encounters: InuYasha's older half-brother, Sesshomaru; Naraku who tricked Kikyo and InuYasha into turning against each other; Kikyo who was brought back from the grave with part of Kagome's soul; and a wolf demon, Koga, who is in love with Kagome and wants to make her "his woman".

I like inuyasha its very interesting esp. how they do their battles but i just hate the fact how they ended the anime and had to continue only in manga.

[Inuyasha]

I heard that once the manga ends, witch it is very close to ending, they might pick it back up.  That's only what I heard though.

[koustik kill]

I hope they do

Yep, Inuyasha was probably around the 5th Anime I was ever introduced to, a very good show in my opinion (not #1 but within my top 5 for sure) and def. worth watching.

I adored inuyasha when i was about 15 but i guess i have grown outta it!! 

[fushiclay]

Inuyasha pissed me off when it just abruptly ended at episode 167.  I don't have the kind of money or patience to read the Manga to find out what happens.  It was one of my favorite shows.  It's still in my top 5.

Thw manga has kept going and it's almost over, when it's over they might pick up the anime where it left off.
