Inuyasha Rules!!! Yo, wassup? *wolf ears twitch* So, yeah yeah. This is an Inuyasha chat thingy. :) Anyway, chat with me!

It seems you failed to notice this.

Enjoy.

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

You know, there is an InuYasha forum (http://animenation.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=111). Posting a thread about InuYasha anywhere but there is going to get you a lot of negative responses. InuYasha is not exactly well-liked by a good portion of the members here. That's something important to keep in mind.

On top of that, a lot of people are going to consider this thread spam, because there is the InuYasha forum, and no one outside of that forum wants to talk about InuYasha (generally). On top of that, "chat with me" threads are never exactly received very well in the General Anime forum.

EDIT: Seems Soluzar beat me to linking to the InuYasha forum.

[Inucrazy101]

Sorry, peopel.

[Gray]

I find Inuyasha to be long-winded and annoying. :D

[Kagura]

I so love Inuyasha, Inucrazy101! I'll chat with you about Inuyasha anytime! You can even PM me if you like! i'll add you to my friends list! Finally another Inuyasha Fan besides me! :) So, what is your favorite characters?

[Dark_Knight]

Inuyasha was an anime with good potential in the early stages, but has gone on for far too long. It could have finished with a satisfactory ending a long time ago.

[J Dude]

Inuyasha was an anime with good potential in the early stages, but has gone on for far too long. It could have finished with a satisfactory ending a long time ago.

Like Dark Knight said, it started off good, but then just dragged way too long even with the canon stuff. The fact that the anime was full of bad filler didn't help matters and of course there's no real ending to the anime. To say that InuYasha rules is far from the truth, unless watching bad anime is your thing, because then I'd understand. ;)

Don't worry...you'll also feel that way about DBZ as well, which I tell you is 100 times worse. At least Inuyasha doesn't have a fight that drags on for 50+ episodes, straight.

[Samurai Drifter]

Ahahahahahahahahaha.

Gotta say though, I really don't understand the massive backlash InuYasha's gotten lately. It was incredibly popular a couple of years ago, and it's not a bad series.

[J Dude]

Don't worry...you'll also feel that way about DBZ

Well I get the feeling you're wrong. I've basically seen the whole series (if you want to count it being somewhat out of order) and now I'm finally watching it from beginning to end. If anything, I love it to death minus the bad filler arcs like Garlic Jr, which I'm just doing myself a favor and skipping since I've seen it once already. If you want to hate on the show, that's fine. Feel free to. It's not affecting my enjoyment of the show.

[Dr. Casey]

Ahahahahahahahahaha.

Not sure. All I know is all the wankers bashing it need to shut the f*ck up. Not that I'm particularly defensive of Inuyasha, but people need to stop ganging up on Takahashi.

[J Dude]

All I know is all the wankers bashing it need to shut the f*ck up.

So you're saying someone like me is stupid and thinks I'm the greatest person in the world? :lol: I wish I was the greatest person in the world, then maybe I wouldn't have such a crummy job and I'd be doing what I want to do and working in some sort of job involving video/video editing. Alas, I'm finding it hard to find any sort of schooling for that that's conviently close to where I live. Don't you think the use of the f word is a bit rude too? Some people just take others opinions on the internet too seriously. There's always gonna be someone out there who doesn't like something you do. Why care as long as you're enjoying it? If you think someone's opinion is stupid, just ignore it and go on your business.

Not that I'm particularly defensive of Inuyasha, but people need to stop ganging up on Takahashi.

Well I can't very well be supportive of her work that she did on InuYasha when it has so many faults that I just couldn't enjoy the show anymore because of it.

[Samurai Drifter]

I can understand why a lot of people don't like IY, and they're as entitled to their opinion as anyone.

I just find it funny that J Dude's complaints about it are essentially the same as most people's complaints about DBZ.

[Dr. Casey]

Don't you think the use of the f word is a bit rude too?

Nah, I think it's appropriate. Otherwise I wouldn't have used it.

There's always gonna be someone out there who doesn't like something you do. Why care as long as you're enjoying it?

It's possible to express opinions in a calm, reasonable way. Few do. Someone's gotta defend Takahashi from all these pretentious, hypercritical teenagers and young adults.

Here's an example of an acceptable criticism:

Well I can't very well be supportive of her work that she did on InuYasha when it has so many faults that I just couldn't enjoy the show anymore because of it.

Moving on, then.

If you think someone's opinion is stupid, just ignore it and go on your business.

I do, but sometimes you just can't let idiocy go unchallenged. I'm not getting emotional or anything over this, just saying what I think.

I can understand why a lot of people don't like IY, and they're as entitled to their opinion as anyone.

I disagree. If people express stupid points of views in irritating ways, they are abusing their right to have an opinion. They must be called out on it. They must be forced to admit they are wrong and stupid. At the very least, it's my duty to try and make them do so.

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

I don't care if other people don't like InuYasha, as long as they respect the fact that some people do. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but at the same time, people must also respect the opinions of others.

What gets on my nerves the most is when people blame Takahashi for the anime. Rumiko Takahashi did not create the anime. She created the manga off of which the anime is based, and as any fan of the manga could tell you, the manga is better than the anime, the first reason being it's devoid of all the fillers. On top of that, as almost any Rumiko Takahashi fan could tell you, the poor woman has not had much luck with her manga being adapted into really good anime.

Blaming Takahashi for the InuYasha anime is like blaming Nobuhiro Watsuki for the Rurouni Kenshin anime. It's not the manga-ka's fault if the anime goes downhill, and it's not fair to blame them for that.

[Bernard_Monsha]

Well I get the feeling you're wrong.

But the main problem with this statement is we know they are right.

Even with the manga, it felt dragged on to me. Yea, you're right. Takahashi did not create the anime, but the people behind the anime did follow her work for the most part besides the filler. I mean, how many times do I have to see the same bad guy run away, like Myroumaru (however you spell his name) before he kicks the bucket? He fought Inuyasha like three times and ran away each time. I was starting to get sick of seeing it happen, not to mention all the "power ups" that Tessaiga kept getting like the Youki draining ability.

[Brill]

Well the problem is that people say they hate Inuyasha but not WHY they hate it. If they hate it for the filler, fine. It's the anime's fault. Do they hate it because Takahashi puts in meaningless arcs which have no bearing on the main story and drags it out for two more years than it needed to be? Well then, that's legitimate.

[Gray]

What gives you the right to judge who's opinions are stupid, and who's are acceptable? Last time i checked your not any for of Moderator or Admin, so you have no 'duty' to do anything but be annoying, and as thus ignored. The only reason im even bothering to quote you on this is becuase you seem to think your some kind of judge on who can post thier ideas, and who should just sit back and let you decide what is approiate. If someone dosen't agree with your ideas deal with it. This may be hard to accept, but the internet isn't a place where you can take your 'e-rules' and enforce them in anyway, other than shooting childish remarks at people, trying to make them care.

I wasn't hating on DBZ (I was very into it at one time), just pointing out its flaws. But that's the same reason most people hate Inuyasha, so why is it different with DBZ? DBZ also has battles that take an eternity to finish, and people on both sides get power-ups during those battles. It's alright to hate on Inuyasha because it's not everyone's cup of tea. However I don't find those reasons you listed legitimate because those are the same exact problems seen with DBZ, only much worse. ;)

[Dr. Casey]

You silly people. Anyone who thinks the average person has opinions worth respecting is incredibly naive.

[Sixteen]

<Steps lightly as not to cause any more flames to pop out.> I understand the reasons that someone may dislike Inuyasha or DBZ. Granted the battles on both do seem to take forever. Still not everyone may like some of our other favorites for various reasons. Someone may or may not like Tenchi Muyo, Slayers, Witch Hunter Robin, ect. Everyone is simply intitled to what they like. Thus it allows a greater varity to choose from.

[Amiboshi_music]

Much agreed, Sixteen. ^_~ I think EVERYONE is allowed to have their own opinion about any anime. And if their opinion is different from yours, that doesn't mean they're wrong, or that you are wrong, it's just what they think about it. XP

[Community]

Inuyasha is leet. f all of your negative critisism while this thread is still up.

My favorite charactor is seshmorau (how ever you spell it)

[Amiboshi_music]

Sesshoumaru. -_-;;

[Dr. Casey]

I just had a person who's made four posts in over five years pop out of the woodwork to disagree with me. I'm honored, I think.

[Amiboshi_music]

Actually, I've made a whole hell of a lot more posts than that, but a lot of them weren't counted because they were in the rpg area, and, I try to avoid the regular boards, because of people who tend to be uncommonly rude for no reason.

Not to mention that I do have a life, like work, and friends, and that kind of thing.

[Dr. Casey]

Not to mention that I do have a life, like work, and friends, and that kind of thing.

Man, I love it whenever people get hostile without the slightest provocation.

[Amiboshi_music]

That wasn't hostile. I was just simply stating that I have hand my hands full with other things, so I don't get to post often. And haven't been able to in a while. How's that hostile?

[Dr. Casey]

The tone seemed irritated and defensive.

[Bernard_Monsha]

Take the intraweb pissing contest elsewhere

[Amiboshi_music]

Geez. >__< This is why I don't post on the main boards. Have fun people.

[Dr. Casey]

That's not really logical in the slightest, but okay. Bye.

[Sixteen]

I can understand why Amboshi feels that way toward the board in some aspect. And I hate to see this thread turn into something that will become something that will be deleted for one reason or another. However like she said she has posted a lot, but a lot of the threads, sub forums, are gone that she posted on and the RPG subforum doesn't count posts. In Truth before I came back I think that my posts where around 2028. But I left and then upon a return saw that several places I visited where gone. The Tenchi Muyo in Series specific, Series Specific for a while was even gone. Not to mention threads that where backed up where eventually deleted.

However I am explaining only the reason for her 'few' posts. The rude thing I see like this. While I 'know' you because of your board name, I don't know nor really care who are you beyound the world of the eletron and switch. Your life outside of this little digital universe is no more of importance to me than the life of a common house fly. I say that because I don't know you personally Therefore I have no connection with what you may really be like.

At anyrate good talking have a have a nice day.

[Dr. Casey]

I can understand why Amboshi feels that way toward the board in some aspect.

Yeah, I know. I get frustrated and leave message boards all the time when dealing with people who are actually being more polite than I am. It's the perfectly reasonable choice.

[Kagura]

I really enjoy InuYasha! My favorite characters are InuYasha, Sesshomaru, and Kagome. The funny one is Miroku. He is a perv and I like it when he gets slapped! :lol:

[Inucrazy101]

*nods* True, true Kagura. Mr. Perv (aka Miroku) is a HUGE perv, not to mention a womanizer. And Inuyasha is such a 2-timer. And don't you think that it looks like he loves Sango in the first few episodes?

I talk too much...

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

Inuyasha, love Sango? :huh: I never once got that impression.

[Kagura]

I am not sure who Inuyasha likes. I mean he is always between Kikyo and Kagome. It may be possible he likes Sango but I am thinking he doesnt and that Miroku is the one who does.

[Kali-chan]

I really enjoy InuYasha! My favorite characters are InuYasha, Sesshomaru, and Kagome. The funny one is Miroku. He is a perv and I like it when he gets slapped! :lol:

agree, add Sango to that list and I'll be happy... oh, yeah, and Bankotsu... and add huge stars and make it first... Sesshomaru!
(no, this is not a relapse of Sesshomaru rabid fangirlism...)

[Kagura]

Sango is cool too I agree. Bankotsu is awesome too. And yes, I like Sesshomaru too of course! :lol:

[Ice Chick]

And Inuyasha is such a 2-timer. And don't you think that it looks like he loves Sango in the first few episodes?


No, I think it was more Inuyasha feeling sorry for her because she lost everything. I never got that idea that he was in love with Sango.

If we discussing favorite characters I'll go with Sango. ^_^

[Dark_Knight]

Bankotsu=Awesome

I personally think he went out with more style than a lot of other characters in the series (though that's probably because Inuyasha had to use his strongest attack at the time to do it)

[metal_slime1022]

i love watching inuyasha

[Kagura]

InuYasha is so awesome! Its a favorite of mine! :) I just wish it didnt end the way it did. That was a little disappointing. But there is always hope for the future.

[Inucrazy101]

Yeah, i agree Kagura. I think they should make a new season.Darn you, Rumiko. She just couldn't think of any more ideas.

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

Yeah, i agree Kagura. I think they should make a new season.Darn you, Rumiko. She just couldn't think of any more ideas.
How many times do I have to say this to people? DO NOT BLAME RUMIKO TAKAHASHI FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ANIME!! It is NOT Takahashi's fault that the anime ended like it did, without a real ending. That was entirely Studio Sunrise's doing! If you're going to blame people, at least blame the right people!

Rumiko Takahashi is responsible for the manga, and the manga only. The manga, by the way, is still running in Japan - it's currently at 498 chapters (I believe), and it's starting to approach the end...or, at least, it seems to be approaching the end.

I'm sorry, but every time I see someone blame Takahashi for the anime's ending (or lack thereof), I get upset. It's just not fair to the artist to blame her for something that she was not responsible for. Once Studio Sunrise got the rights to create the anime, whatever they did to the anime was pretty much out of Takahashi's hands and entirely up to the whim of the director(s) and producers.

[Dr. Ezra]

Oh, I totally agree with Mikadzuki. Takahashi is not to blame for what crappy animators did to her work.

[Inucrazy101]

OMG, ur so darn right you two. Thank you!

[Dr. Casey]

It's not like the anime is bad, either. Regardless of the changes, filler episodes (a lot of which are good anyway), and ridiculous flashbacks (Holy sh*t, Naraku forced Inuyasha and Kikyo to turn on each other? No way! This sort of backstory is new and exciting, definitely appropriate for Episode 150), it's still a fairly close adaptation of a good story.

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

I love that pic Anime Junkie! Its so cute! :lol: I am not blaming Takahashi for that disappointing ending at all. OK? What manga volume is she on right now?

Manga chapter 499 just came out this week. In Japan, InuYasha is serialized weekly in a magazine called Shonen Sunday. It's also published in volume format, but the volumes are behind the chapters. I think the most recent volume to come out was 47 or 48.

[Kagura]

So in other words the US manga is on Volume 47 or 48 then right? Also, does she make any manga volumes in Japan or does she only put it in the Shonen Sunday magazine?

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

So in other words the US manga is on Volume 47 or 48 then right? Also, does she make any manga volumes in Japan or does she only put it in the Shonen Sunday magazine?

No, not right. The most recent volume to be released in Japan is Volume 48 (which encompasses chapters 469-478). So, the volume releases in Japan are currently 31 chapters behind the weekly chapter releases in the Shonen Sunday magazine.

According to VIZ's website (www.viz.com), so far, Volumes 1-29 have been released in the U.S in English (although, Vol. 29 actually comes out on April 10).
http://www.viz.com/products/products.php?series_id=82

In Japan, a chapter of InuYasha is published weekly in Shogakukan's Shonen Sunday. Every three or four months, I believe, Shogakukan compiles ten chapters of the manga and releases them in tankouban (volume) format. But the volume releases are always many chapters behind the weekly magazine serialization.

It works the same way with manga that are serialized in manga anthologies in the U.S., such as in Shojo Beat and VIZ's U.S version of Shonen Jump. (The difference being that Beat and the U.S version of Jump are released monthly, rather than weekly.)

[Kagura]

Oh. OK. Sorry about the mistake. Thanks alot Mikadzuki! Is there alot of differences between the Anime and the manga? Like things edited out or what not?

[Kali-chan]

Am I right that most of the fillers in the anime aren't in the manga?

[Kagura]

That is just one of the things Im wondering about too Kali-chan.

[Ketaru]

So, now that this thread about how good the series is has come up...

Does anybody ever think about how good the background music for the series is? It is all (at least it seems) orchestrated. If I had to guess, little or no synth work at all unless the entire point of a piece is to sound synthesized or mechanical. I know a lot of people might defend a series' use of synthesized music because it's harder to have an orchestrated soundtrack (and InuYasha has a name like Kaoru Wada behind it to boot!), but the music of the series just makes it seem that much more authentic, in my opinion.

I own all 4 movie soundtracks and of all the soundtracks I have, I think they are some of the finest. I especially loved the second movie's use of character themes. In fact, that's one of the things I loved best about the music of the series - all the character themes.

[Sangan]

InuYasha Rules over NOTHING!!

[creativename]

I like Inuyasha. The music is good, the fights are entertaining, the filler could be far worse, and the plot is certainly respectable. Is the anime for everyone? No, I reckon not. In my opinion though, it's a great anime.

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

Am I right that most of the fillers in the anime aren't in the manga?

All of the fillers in the anime are anime-only; none of them are in the manga. They are called "fillers" because they are there to fill space to keep the anime from catching up to the manga. That's always what fillers are for.

I also agree with Ketaru; the music in InuYasha is some of the better anime music I have heard, especially the background music. I own the fourth movie soundtrack (it came with the movie), and I love it. I especially love some of the character themes, and the opening theme.

[Ice Chick]

As far as music goes, I always liked the closing themes, except for the Kiss one and Brand New World, but all the others were pretty good. I always loved Song of Truth (sorry can't spell the Japanese title) and Every Heart. The OP themes I liked were Angelus and the 3rd theme, which the name escapes me at the moment.

Speaking of fillers, anyone else think some of the fillers developed the characters more? I'm probably one of a few people who think so. I happened to enjoy a lot of the fillers, except those that center around Shippo and the 3 monkey filler episode.

The 3 monkeys wasn't a filler episode, oddly enough.

right now im going through an inuyasha fanatic thing i know i know the series has been over but i just started getting into it so im kinda OBSESSED with it right now so yeah. lol
im actually not really happy on how the WHOLE series ended but ill get over it

[Kagura]

I love alot of the songs from Inuyasha. Come, Dearest, Fakai Mori, Do As Infintiy, Change the World, and more! :) Is there any songs that you dont like anybody?

[Dr. Ezra]

Come by Namie Amuro. My buds and I used to listen to it and crack up reading the lyrics. Ah, the good old days.

[Kagura]

So you like that song Come right Dr. Ezra?

[Ketaru]

I hate the song "Come". It's too "night clubby" for my taste. I also hate "One Day, One Dream". Besides the fact I find Tacky and Tsubasa's voices rather unsettling for some reason, a big put off for me in anime is when Japanese songs use a lot of Engrish (because I didn't find this song's use of it clever at all)

[Kagura]

OK. Thanks Ketaru. Is there any you like?

[Ketaru]

Hmmm, I'm surprised I haven't brought this up before in this thread at all (I did in the more musically oriented one).

"Grip!" "Shinjitsu no Uta" "Rakuen" "Yura-Yura" "Ai no Uta" "Dearest"

[Kagura]

OK. Thats cool. I havent heard "Grip!", "Ai no Uta", or "Rakuen". Are they really good? What are they from? I know they are from Inuyasha but are they opening songs, ending ones or from a movie?

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

"Grip!" is one of the opening songs (in which case you have probably heard it, unless Adult Swim omitted the openings when they broadcasted InuYasha). It's the fourth opening theme (episodes 96 to 127 - in other words, the Shichinitai arc). I am not sure about the other two songs, though.

[Ice Chick]

Adult Swim actually aired Grip! in one of the Band of Seven episodes. They usually omit the OP, however they didn't for that particular episode (I forget which episode though). And they still didn't omit it for their second re-run through the series.

Oh really? crap. I bet I missed that episode then. I would like to here that song. I'd like to hear those other ones that I never heard of also.

[Absolutely787]

[long Borat pause] NAHT!!!!!!!!!

If anyone could make some more episodes of InuYasha would you? I know I definitely would!

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

Oh really? crap. I bet I missed that episode then. I would like to here that song. I'd like to hear those other ones that I never heard of also.
Two words: original soundtracks. If you're looking for opening and ending theme songs, then what you want is either

Best of InuYasha - 12 opening and ending theme songs, plus a bonus track


Best of InuYasha 2 - 20 opening and ending theme songs


InuYasha Theme Song Collection - 31 tracks on two CDs

However, there is one catch: All of these CDs are imported from Japan, which means that, unless you're willing to buy used & new from independent sellers, the cheapest price you're probably going to find is around $40. AnimeNation has Best of InuYasha (http://www.animenation.com/avca-14723.html) for around $38, which is the cheapest I've seen for an InuYasha soundtrack so far. But that's the only soundtrack they have. (If you want to know where to find the others, PM me.)

[Kagura]

OK! Thanks Mikadzuki! I really hope to get those CD's someday.

[Dr. Ezra]

If anyone could make some more episodes of InuYasha would you? I know I definitely would!

Are you kidding? You must be kidding.

The series is already so freaking long...

[§exual Ðonut]

The more the merrier, right? I mean, Db in all of its incarnations came to like 514 episodes.

Yeah, and Dragonball is also notorious for its unnecessarily long, drawn-out battles (five episodes for the characters to power-up, and ten more episodes for them to punch each other), and it's a characteristic of the series that not many people see in a positive light.

However, a purely action-driven shounen series like Dragonball can almost get away with unnecessarily long, drawn-out battles, because of the nature of the series itself. A series like InuYasha, which is not as action-driven, has a harder time getting away with that.

[Solid_Snake]

Don't worry...you'll also feel that way about DBZ as well, which I tell you is 100 times worse. At least Inuyasha doesn't have a fight that drags on for 50+ episodes, straight.

I would like you to name one fight in DBZ that lasts 50 episodes straight.

Doesn't exsist.

[Soluzar]

Undoubtedly, the people who say that are thinking of the Freeza fight, but it's a gross exaggeration. No single fight during that part of the series lasts even half that long.

[§exual Ðonut]

Any anime could get away with filler if they would just take the time to make it interesting. It's possible, like- if they wanted to draw out a fight in dbz, maybe have a sub plot going so when there was one fight lagging they could cut into another fight... or something of the sort.

I think the problem is that the fillers aren't going to interest everybody. You are always going to have the fans who complain about the anime deviating from the manga's storyline. On top of that, sometimes fillers are just too much or too long, to the point where even the fans who don't complain about fillers start to get impatient for the anime to return to the manga's storyline.

Some series just weren't made for fillers.

[Anime_fanatic]

Your right the fans would start to get sick of fillers usually they are too long or too short thats what makes them annoying.

[StandingAlone]

What makes them annoying is when there is a big climactic part happening and *pop* in comes a filler. AHHH can it make me any madder? Fillers that happen when nothing is going on don't bother me as much.

[Anime_fanatic]

That's true.

[Ice Chick]

Ok I'll give you that one after looking it up, lol. Freiza vs Goku and friends was dragged out to the point where it felt like it was more than 50 episodes. If people can exaggerate that Inuyasha was dragged out by enormous filler then I can exaggerate on the dragged out fights in DBZ. The majority of Inuyasha really isn't filler and I don't like it when people say it is. In fact, the fillers don't start until the thrid season around the Tsubaki arc. Afterwards, there may've been a few here, a few there, then boom right back to canon. There has never been an instance where a huge story arc of filler was created (ie Naruto, Rurouni Kenshin, and Bleach).

[§exual Ðonut]

Who said Inuyasha had tons of filler? I thought we were talking hypothetically... It really doesn't have much filler from what I've seen of it. (Which is a good amount.)

[Ice Chick]

I'm not pointing any fingers at you. I was just refering to an earlier statement I made in regards to an earlier argument that was posted about how Inuyasha is dragged out by filler.:naughty:

[Kagura]

Are you kidding? You must be kidding.

No! Im not kidding. I dont care if its already long. Dragonball Z was alot longer than InuYasha. And thats not even including the orginal dragonball, and Dragonball GT!

[Mason Cage]

He`s pretty darn cool!

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

No! Im not kidding. I dont care if its already long. Dragonball Z was alot longer than InuYasha. And thats not even including the orginal dragonball, and Dragonball GT!

IMHO, one reason Dragonball Z could get away with being so long was that it had so many story arcs, each of which had its own villain, and most of the villains were unrelated to each other. InuYasha, on the other hand, only has one major villain - Naraku. There are plenty of other villains - Kagura, Kanna, Myourinmaru, the baby, etc. - but all of them are related to Naraku.

I think one reason people get tired of InuYasha is that the series' major villain has been around for so long, and every time the heroes get close to defeating him, he slips out of their grasp. I love InuYasha, but I'm not going to deny how frustrating it is every time Naraku manages to escape and Inuyasha & Co. have to go find him again.

To be honest, if someone gave me a lot of money and said I had the option of creating more InuYasha episodes, I wouldn't. Instead, I'd give that money to Takahashi as a bribe to finish the manga before chapter 600.

Agreed. Naraku is too much of the plot and too kill would end the series right there. This sucks because I for one get extremely tired of him! I like Inuyasha but sometimes it gets too old for me.

Fight Naraku, he escapes. Get Stronger. Almost kill Naraku, he escapes. A little bit...stronger. Yes maybe Naraku will die. Aaaa, he escapes.

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

It's not that Naraku is too much of the plot as much as the series itself is too long for a series that only has one major villain. In the beginning, it was different, because Naraku has so many bunshin. But now, in the manga, all of his bunshin except for one have been killed off.

[StandingAlone]

This is true.

[Kagura]

I wonder when will Naraku ever die?

[StandingAlone]

I wonder when will Naraku ever die?

He won't. He is a god. He is invincible. He is all powerful.

[Mikadzuki Tatsu]

I wonder when will Naraku ever die?

At the end of the manga. The manga is not going to end before he dies (because if it does end before he dies, Takahash is going to get a lot of angry letters and emails from fans on both sides of the Pacific).

But given how many times that man has re-transformed himself (I think we're on Naraku 6.0 now in the manga?), he might as well be invincible.

Again, He is a god. He won't ever die. He is omnipotent. He knows when and where Inuyasha will try to strike and he will laugh at all Inuyasha's pathetic, pitiful attempts to kill him. :devil:

[Kyt7]

I can't even enjoy Naraku as a villan anymore... it is unbelievable that he is so much smarter than everyone else. even the level-headed characters (ie: Sesshomaru and Kikyo), who have plans beyond "i'm gonna swing my sword at him and then be surprised when it doesn't work for the millionth time" (poor inuyasha :p) can't succeed.

(this isn't a knock on inuyasha or the anime/manga...)

[Kagura]

Naraku shouldn't have been made as a "god-like" villian. Also in a way other villains should have been added too. But I still like the anime anyhow. All except for the final episode. :(

I wouldn't say that Naraku is god-like. And there are plenty of anime villains who seem near invincible. Naraku is strong because he is cunning and wily; he knows just what it takes to get to his opponents. He also makes his lackeys do all his dirty work.

There are other villains - all of Naraku's bunshin are villains. Inuyasha & Co. have to defeat all of them before they can defeat Naraku. In fact, there was a point where Naraku's bunshin were getting more of the villain spotlight than Naraku himself was, IMHO.

[Inucrazy101]

Wow look at all you ^.^
LOL ya miss me? Yeah, I'm WAY more active then befo!

AnyWAAAAAY I really need to read the manga...DARN IT!!!!
Grrr, I've been slapping myself since this mornign GRRRR

[Justinian]

[Ketaru]

Well, that was strange, they played the "Angelus" opening today right before the final dubbed episode. Did they always do that? This is the first time I caught the final episode dubbed.
