Review | "Inuyasha" - Rumiko Takahashi's time travelling school girl Mika and dog/boy demon hit the small screen flying, with lots of action, blood and gore.
I finally got to see episode 1 of "Inu Yasha" this evening. Actually, I shouldn't sound like I'm complaining - after all, it was a pretty good job by my friend in Kawanishi-shi to get this show taped a week ago and get it to me in the mail, along with other tapes, in less than a week.
I've seen the first episode of Takahashi Rumiko's Inu Yasha yesterday..
Hmm how can I say it.. The art quality was good. CG was beautiful.
Presentation was appropriate. Budget was high. No mentioning of voice cast
(Yamaguchi Kappei (otoko Ranma) for Inuyasha, Hidaka Noriko (Tendo Akane)
for Kagome... But it wasn't fun (sigh).
I've seen episodes 1,2, 5, 6. It's better than average but I felt that it was a bit old-fashioned in style - it's just like watching "Fire Tripper" or some of the other Takahashi based anime that were made some years ago. I'm not convinced that this is really an improvement on the original manga. (GC). |
