Oukan05 Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by anime babe [/i] [B]Some of you people are very strange to go on and on over something that matters not. I just don't get how you can sit there in front of your computer and just nag on everything you see and read. It's not always about the best drawn, or the best plot line or whatever. I would have to say what makes an anime series the best or most popular is not the way everything is worked out to a T. Its about seeing something that none of the other series offer. it's about when the end is coming and you like it so much that you want more and more until you can't take it anymore...you starve for the series...the perfect series that i find InuYasha gives its people. And you know another thing its far from perfect, but because it is people find that it is everything that they long for in anime. It's got a bit of everything in it and thats what makes it such a good series to watch. Thats all i wanted to say so i guess laters ppl~ [/B][/QUOTE] Sorry if you feel that way, but I happen to find sitting in front of my computer a good habit. Now, about your comment, (sure) maybe it's not about the plot, the drawing, or whatever being well made. It's mostly about how the show creates a theme that relates to reality of where we are now. As for Inuyasha, this show has brought the feeling, thought, and action out of every character. The character shows how he/she go through life just like we do. It's not about the plot of fighting demons, using magic, or whatever. Inuyasha is a half-demon who is considered an outcast to every village. He wonders off with no feeling of love, trust, and friendship. He's filled with heavy emotions of loneliness. This kind of thing can relate to anyone who has/had that problem. Ex: Back then, I was always being teased and picked on everyday. And everyday, I'd felt lonely. I couldn't sometimes have the heart of trusting someone or being a friend to someone. I'd always carried a sad frown on my face filled with anger everyday; and sometimes it never goes away. This type of feeling can come out of any character in any anime you watch. Once you know the true character, you kind of know yourself. Any show can built up a plot dealing with horror, humor, tragic, adventure, action, and so on; and it still has a lesson that relates to life (real or not it still does). Inuyasha has brought some of that into this world; and I happen to find this show the best anime I've ever watched in my life. It made me laugh, cry, fear, and (deep down) happy. All those feelings have taken me back to the times I went through related in any episode I watch. It made me think of life I had then, and the life I have now. It made me think that if I want to live a good life, then I'll live a good life my way. And who knows; the life I live could change the world in any ways. I just have to make myself happy to live a good life. That's what this show means to me. (Sorry if I sound mean; cause I'm not) That's my opinion.

I'm not really sure how to respond to that comment, so all I'll say is that few things in life are perfect. If we just sat around rapturously praising the show, this discussion wouldn't be nearly as interesting. I don't think I'm overly critical, because I've seen numerous anime series and OAVs that excel in ways which Inuyasha simply doesn't.

I usually "want more and more" when a series has gorgeous animation, skillful characterization, subtle symbolism, a captivating plot, and so forth. A show cannot evoke emotion without first demonstrating [i]some[/i] positive qualities. It's through good directing and acting that the viewer comes to identify with the characters.

One thing I really don't like is the fact that it's so darn long. After a certain number of episodes, it starts to become really formulaic and repetitive, and the dramatic tension goes straight out the window. Few of the characters seem to undergo any serious changes. For example, I feel as though the scriptwriters avoided developing Kagome and Inuyasha's relationship because they wanted the story to keep dragging on. ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that you haven't even bothered to write a rebuttal of my complaints, I also can't see why I should listen to your opinion. Okay, new topic.

Kagome 1 Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 I am not saying that you have to listen to me. Evrey body has ther own opinion. And I understand you do not want to listen to me because here I am saying that you have problems. (i'm sorry) I do think Sesshomaru hates Inuyasha because he would not be trying to kill him if he liked him. Kagome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oukan05 Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Well, I kind of think that Sesshomaru really hates Inuyasha on the outside, but deep down he still has a brother's heart. I think eventually he and Inuyasha will work things out soon. It's showned in the episode "A Demon's True Nature." Think about it; when Sesshomaru showed up to see his brother go nutz on his power, he would've taken him down if he wants to finish him for good. The way he helped him, he still has small care for his brother. I think when the show goes by, things will go ok; maybe for a while. Also, Kagome 1, your banner is cute. I like it alot. Inuyasha and Kagome are a great couple. They don't have to be considered as boyfriend and girlfriend. It's just that they look so cute together. Eating ramen, sit, pulling the ears, Sit, ears, SIt,.....and one more thing; SIT!! Where else can we find a boy and girl character like them? They are funny, cool, and...funny.

Dagger Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Stephanie Ayler [/i] [B]Where else can we find a boy and girl character like them? They are funny, cool, and...funny. I love them; they ROCK!:love: :laugh: :) [/B][/QUOTE] Yusuke and Keiko, anyone? While I believe that Sesshomaru truly despises Inuyasha, it also seems pretty clear to me that he isn't planning killing him. Let's be realistic, folks--Sesshomaru is far, far stronger than his younger brother (especially toward the beginning of the show, before Inuyasha learns how to harness the Tetsusaiga's true power). He sometimes behaves as though he [i]wants[/i] Inuyasha to become more powerful, and constantly comes up with ways to test his strength. There are times when I think that Sesshomaru is, by acting as Inuyasha's guide, standing in for their father. For example, we know that Sesshomaru is very intelligent and manipulative. If I recall correctly, he's the first person who mentions the Wind Scar to Inuyasha. Why would he tell Inuyasha about Tetsusaiga's ultimate attack if he didn't want his little brother to learn it? Had he kept his mouth shut, Inuyasha might never have discovered the Wind Scar. ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Hey, I'm a big InuYasha fan. The anime has alot of episodes added into it...they were trying not to outpace the manga. Eh, to me it seems like you either love InuYasha or you hate it, you know? I really don't mind "stero-typical" characters at all. Almost all characters are stero-typical in some ways. I don't see why you hate the InuYasha characters though. And I also think you should give Cartoon Network the credit it deserves. Cartoon Network has been largely responsible for getting anime popular in the US. How many of us would've even known what anime was if we hadn't saw an episode of Cowboy Bebop or InuYasha on Adult Swim. And another thing...while InuYasha's plot may not make you think too much, that's something I like about it. Sure I like animes that make me think too, but sometimes you just want to leave your brain at the door for 30 minutes and just laugh at something you know? The plot, to me at least, is an original one. I also think the animation is decent. It's not like I could do any better, so I really can't say anything. I can't claim that I liked InuYasha before it became popular. In fact I didn't even know what it was until a few months ago. (that's when I started watching anime) I'm no expert on anime so you probably won't chose to listen to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Inuyasha Kagome Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 I have no idea why but I just got attatched to it when I first found out about it.I think it's because of the exitement and how it's funny in some parts when inu-yasha and Kagome arn't confessing how they like each other.I liked it because of that.Also,at the beginning of the series,I thought Kagome would be ''hurt'' by Inu-yasha for sure.There wasn't anything or anyone around who could help her.I didn't count on Kaede to put a rosary on him.I like almost all anime that i've seen so far but that is just my favorite.I think that some extra characters arn't needed but character like Sango shouldn't be cancelled because she had to show them how the Shikon jewel from Midoriko was made.There's just lots of exitement and lots of things you wouldn't expect.

slice Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 :D I can tell you are a fan Inuyasha Kagome! As long as this is an InuYasha board, how do you think it will end? The manga has been winding down for a while, or so I've heard. I hope it isn't a tragic ending. If anything is predictable it is a tragic ending. (:D) Ahhhhh..... and they have added alot of episodes ALOT! (that weren't in the manga) I'm not sure how many, but I'd say it might be 20-40 if not more.

Flo Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 InuYasha is the best show ever.Sesshoumaru has a way better name meanning than InuYasha. Name Meanings Sesshoumaru=The Killing Perfection InuYasha=Dog Demon See isn't it better.I don't understand whypeople don't like Sessy more.I've been working on reading the manga's of Inuyasha and vol.15 has the battle with Kagru(sp?) in it but not Goshinki(sp?).I think it will end with the deffet off Narku but would not do InuYasha's father 's mortal enemy I know I can't spell his name way to long but his a dragon.

Japan Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I've read several manga translations. I've read even farther than the manga books that are being sold now and it surpasses the amount of episodes that Cartoon Network has. Things do get better. I tell you that. [QUOTE]I think that some extra characters arn't needed [/QUOTE] Though I do not agree with that quote above. Every single character in InuYasha are needed in some way or another. They add a little bit of flavor to the show to make the anime great. They also make Inuyasha more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimmsicle Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 [COLOR=firebrick]I've not read the manga and only seen the anime up until the episode where [spoiler]Sesshomaru confronts Inuyasha, to see if what the tree told him was true. When I saw this, I didn't really understand at first why Sesshomaru backed down. Although it [i]was[/i] pretty obvious that he only wanted to test Inuyasha's capabilities. And if Sesshomaru truly feared that Inuyasha had the means to "outtake" him and truly does want to see his little brother dead, then surely he would've made short process with him - there and then. If not way earlier ~_^[/spoiler] So Dagger made a valid point about Sesshomaru and his attitude/behaviour. Sesshomaru, even though he is clearly disgusted [size=1](I lack a better word, sorry)[/size] with his younger brother's weakness, wants to envoke the strength and power that I'm guessing is slumbering within Inuyahsa. [/COLOR] [color=darkblue]As to the question why I watch it.... I've not seen a lot of anime and I wanted to try something new. Inuyasha started running and I figured I'd give it a go. The first couple of episodes made me unsure if this was an anime I'd enjoy, but I stuck with it. Sometimes it takes time to warm up to a show. It does seem to want to cover a lot of ground (romance, battle etc etc) and so it may very well be underdeveloped in some areas. The way they drag out the story's key elements is a bit frustrating, although I'm used to that from watching "One Piece" [size=1](another anime/manga)[/size]. Overall, there [i]are[/i] things that could be seen as faulty. But depending on how experiened you are, you'll either enjoy it a lot [insert exclamation marks] - or you will see the things that are positive, but still not be blind to the aspects that could've been done better.

SasukeUchiha Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I like Inyuasha, I am kind of obcessed with Romantic Comedy (or maybe just Rumiko Takahashi) right now apparently (Ex: Ranma..Inyuasha....Lum...ect.) The only part of the anime that really annoys me is Inyuasha's voice, it just scratches my eardrum. Other than that I have to say I like it alot.

I tend to be a bit picky about what I watch, and especially about what I buy, so it makes sense that my opinions occasionally clash with those of more fervent fans.

Sesshomaru has his charms, but the show's simplistic character designs don't really catch my interest. I watch Inuyasha because I have an insatiable desire to know what happens next (even though its plot is rather predictable....). Though its fight scenes are occasionally interesting, they're nothing compared to those featured in other current shows (such as Full Metal Panic). As for your reference to hentai..... well, I think that speaks for itself. ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadSeraphim Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Your going to get yourself banned at that rate. Trust me, it's happened to at least four people I've known at the Boards. As for this Inuyasha, I haven't had the oppurtunity to watch any episodes yet, due to the fact we don't have Pay TV, but from what I've heard it's deeply compelling. And upon having (just)seen the three forms of Inuyasha it just intrigues me more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinata Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Okay for just a moment here I wish yo quote Inuyasha Fan [QUOTE]YOU CAN'T JUST HATE A SHOW BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE THE ART OR THE DESIGN TO WHOEVER SAID THAT. LOOK AT THE ART AND THE DESIGN OF LUPIN III, IT ISN'T THAT GREAT, BUT THE SHOW IS OKAY. [/QUOTE] [COLOR=royalblue][SIZE=1] Okie dokie.. I just want to show you the error in your ways real quick Inuyasha fan...oh yeah and Welcome to OB... But there is one major difference between Inuysha and Lupin III. You say that Lupin's art and design aren't good. Well I think that anime is a bit old deary, don't you. I mean comparing a 70's anime like Lupin to a anime that was recently produced is a big stretch. It's like my trying to compare Scooby Doo to Dexter's Lab in terms or design. Those are different eras you're talking about and should not be able to cross them together. If you wish to make a true comparison, I would say use an anime like Princess Mononoke. Which is a visual masterpiece by the way and try to compare it to Inuyasha. Please don't take my opinion as bashing, just take it as my opinion. Okay now I turn you over to your normally posting newbie loving sweetreyes. But I love Inuyasha, yes the art work could be better, but I don't mind it I think the storyline although a bit overused, is good and I love to follow it, I cant wait to see the rest of it actually....[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
