| So I think where we're going is that Sesshomaru is giving the Tenseiga to Towa because she can use it to revive Setsuna. Towa's been using a broken sword after all. As for the overall plot, I think Kirinmaru and Sesshomaru are training the girls to be the ones to destroy the meteor that keeps being shown throughout the series. All in all, I really wish they didn't have those episodes that didn't go anywhere with the plot because this was the best episode by far. The episodes that worked were the episode that showed Setsuna's backstory and what happened to Inuyasha and Kagome. |
 |
| Idk what everyone is talking about but that last ep my god was it good. I was expecting Tetsaiga to be passed on to Towa cause no way can my girl actual be dead already. That fight between Kirinmaru and the Girls was freaking amazing holyy. Kinda gives me nostalgia vibes. Overall it was a pretty good season and even though some eps were underwhelming it was still pretty good. 8/10. Expecting more greatness to come with the season 2. |
 |
| Great episode. Yashahime ending strong. |
| Disappointed. One of the main plots was to restore Setsuna's memory. Instead, just kill her. Another was to assemble the rainbow pearls. Zero didn't even show off her power before resetting most of the season's work. We still have many questions remaining: absence of Kagome and friends? Rin's sleep and connection to Zero? We won't get any answers until deep into S2 either. I really hope Setsuna is revived (as hinted) and doesn't take too long. The way tenseiga was broken was disappointing, like, why? Or will the main plot of S2 be to revive Setsuna? And if/when that occurs, will her memory be restored or will the forgotten plot thread still need to be resolved? I really hope the writers will be able to untangle their convolution. |
| bad writing, shallow main characters and nonsensical plot line. I'm so disappointed! Although not that much disappointed, because I was already not expecting anything when I learnt Takahashi-sensei wouldn't be the one overseeing this. edit: jesus, this last episode was so bad, SO BAD. I can't see even the slightest bit of the original series in this. |

| Well at least Moroha still had a decent moment in the fight. I didn’t know what to except from this series and am still left feeling a bit disappointed. It's kind of weird that they took the parents almost completely out of the picture, though not surprised Sesshoumaru did a survival thing with his kids. Like, why not just make a spinoff with unrelated characters? Rumiko's name and Inuyasha in general are big enough to get people interested. And to make Towa out of the 3 girls the main character. She's the least likable of the 3 imo. I love Setsuna, but it's hard to care about her death with tensega or whatever. Oh wait isn't it broken?? Yeah whatever they'll still accomplish it. It would be interesting to see her talk with Sesshoumaru's mom before that. I also don't mind so called "filler" episodes, but at least give us a decent amount of explanations in between. It feels like we barely scratched the surface of what they were trying to accomplish. I knew from the start this would have a second season though. Oh well. I'm not sure if I'll watch the second half. It depends on what else is airing at the time :v |
 |
| It's like..they saved all their budget for this last episode to be that awesome. IF only every episode was like that. What a weird way to end the first season tho...but yeah we'll see more and get more answers hopefully. How she called towa her sister before she did hit pretty hard. damn.. |
 |
| it was a shit show 1/10 |
| This whole show was just a cluster of WTF. The plot made no sense at the end....no resolution just a super battle with insane powerups out of nowhere and Sesshomaru being as incoherent as ever. This show was horrible, 2/10 such a bad followup to Inuyasha. |
 |
| at last inuyasha univ reachd planetary level xD |
| I was really disappointed with this season overall. It felt like nothing but missed opportunities, and the three girls' relationship just feels so hollow somehow, especially compared to the chemistry of the old main cast. That being said, maybe the next season will be better... I'm sure as soon as they decide to stop trying to pad and be all cryptic and have everyone be mysteriously absent, it'll be awesome. if they ever decide to do that. |
 |
| My 134th completed series chronologically. For the record, I extended it a 6/10 rating. |
| Good parts was when Sesshomaru had screen time. 6/10 |
| Good parts was when Sesshomaru had screen time. 6/10 |
| No reaction from Sesshoumaru at all about the death of Setsuna? He's a true demon indeed! |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| I must say I didn't expect the last battle to be like that. That's enough to balance things out for me, let's see if the s2 gets better |
  |
| Tons of things still left to answer, but I'm guessing he gave her the broken Tenseiga since she can make an energy blade. Setsuna's not gone for good I know it Things got pretty trippy with them flying through space and slicing planets lmao |
| Binged through all of Inuyasha over the last week and now going through Yashahime and it's so... disappointing. To start with the premise off the Yashahime all growing up alone, thus knowing Inuyasha/Kagome/et all never got to raise a family and have been separated from the modern era is incredibly sad just coming off of Final Act. But hey it could work so I just have to accept that, and there are pieces in this I do like.... and well her name is Moroha who is an absolute perfect blend of her parents and I love it. Ultimately though she feels like a complete and total afterthought to this show much like her parents. She's really just a third wheel kind of a joke character that doesn't have any of her own focus to shine. I really liked her coming to the modern age and getting to know Kagome's family but back in the feudal era it's just bounty hunting. Instead we're led by the absolute worst of the bunch though with Towa. I liked her intro, the way she handled bullies in the modern era, and even the first scene caught by the shogun she showed a real strength to her character... that completely disappeared once the show returned to feudal era and she becomes an utterly naive moron and I just hate that she's the one that's gotta take the clear protag role. Setsuna's alright, kinda tropey stand-off tough guy type but likeable, and she's the only one that's at least gotten to know people... although her part of the story feels the most absolutely riddled with plot holes and inconsistencies and really choices that didn't need to happen like the Dream Butterfly taking away her New Moon weakness. Along with Moroha's quarter demon excuse it just felt like the show wanted to contrive an issue just for Towa at the time. As far as the story goes I mean honestly coming right off of Final Act I was initially just happy not to have Naraku around anymore. The Four Pearls though all just feel rather generic baddies of the week, with the most annoying lasting longest. The rest are rather interesting, though Riku's interactions with the Yashahime are frustrating. But really for as much as I hated Naraku, this show's really missing a story as good as Inuyasha/Kikyo's origins, nor do I have the incredible fun times of Inuyasha/Kagome's relationship and returning to modern era I loved. Inuyasha season 1 definitely did a whole lot more with its set-up and that you actually knew what happened in the past while we're still left here with mystery for Yashahime. |

Inuyasha season 1 definitely did a whole lot more with its set-up and that you actually knew what happened in the past while we're still left here with mystery for Yashahime. You watched all of Inuyasha - almost 200 episodes, in the span of a week?! Thanks for sharing your thoughts though. I wonder if you will proceed with watching the second season? It definitely has a substantially weaker story overall - there's really no doubt about that. It doesn't have anywhere near the same amount of emotional hooks and power behind them as the main Inuyasha series other than theoretically on paper at a very surface level and in the sense of invoking nostalgia and lazily relying on that for members of the audience to fill in the blanks with their own imagination. The second season, I would say, is an improvement - not so much in that it makes it a substantially stronger series in its actual writing and fleshing out in a real dramatic way, but at least it's made to feel more having been worth it to watch for fans and people who sincerely loved the original Inuyasha because the story is advanced and characters get slightly better treatment. The biggest improvement in the second season comes from the fact that Moroha is actually given some genuine screentime and not relegated to almost a pure comic relief sideshow character. |

Hmmmm getting precise I'll look up my comments as I've been watching... just under 2 weeks. Began 2/11, ep 100 by 2/17, Final Chapter by 2/22, and caught-up on Yashahime by 2/24~ Yeap I'm caught-up on Yashahime now (sans today's ep I'll get to). The first half of s2 honestly felt like things weren't getting better and I was tiring of it, but then ep9 I think hit (Setsuna-focused) and I loved it, and after a few more episodes yeah it's finally hit a focused storyline that's really been lacking in this series and I'm enjoying the progress that's been building here, with some heartwarming moments, particularly for Moroha~ *edit* having finished the show now I take it all back this was a mistake |

| Awesome, but not epic ending for season 1.. Towa n Setsuna = ½ youkai Moroha = ¼ youkai Interesting background story 👍 This world is full of weak people, but the weakest one is the one who cannot protect the most precious. - Towa |
 |
| I would've liked this show a lot more if it were about Moroha, instead of the twins. It sucks that she was always treated like the butt of the joke. We'll see how she's treated in the 2nd season. In all honesty, I was never a big fan of the Inuyasha series in general, but this sequel is a step down in every way. And on a side note, Sesshomaru continues to be a terrible character, and a terrible dad. |
| Nothing like a full-on battle with extensive sakuga for a finale. While Inuyasha was a very special show, it can never come back in the same form, especially in a successor. That said I also remember quite well the ending of the anime was repetitive and had nothing of the magic of the start of the show. But people who love the world of Inuyasha wish it to continue, and as such, Han'you no yashahime does a great job. There's youkai diversity, alternation of night and day scenes, the anime palette is respected, there's plenty of references to the original show. Gives a more faithful feeling than let's say a ninja village with fast food chains and handheld consoles. Sure, and regretably for a successor, the characters can't have the same depth, but simultaneously, the premise of the show is quite different, so it's only to be expected. While I always wonder what is the thought process behind the production comitees for putting out such shows (who would disappoint the old fans and disinterest the new), it's still endearing to watch professionals recreate a world, with legendary actors showing up for the occasion. Curious to see what is in store for season two. |

| The action was good. At least the season finale had great animation. But WTF was up with the story? I kept my expectations low for Yashahime but it still ended up being a letdown. There were plenty of things that Yashahime did wrong or could've done better. I thought I should write them down. Since this is a sequel to Inuyasha, it's inevitable that I'll compare Yashahime to it. 1. The main cast consists of only 3 characters: Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha. The main group of Inuyasha was 5 people: Kagome, Inuyasha, Shippo, Miroku, and Sango. 2 male characters, 2 female characters, and 1 child. There were 2 couples and Shippo acted as the comic relief. So the group felt very balanced. Meanwhile, the Yashahime group was barely together for the majority of the show. Usually there needed to be some excuse for Moroha to go with Towa and Setsuna. And Towa and Setsuna didn't really get along until the last episode when Setsuna finally acknowledged Towa as her sister. It just came outta nowhere. 2. Lack of boys in the main cast. I really think the main group needed more characters and it would've been best if it was a boy. Yes, I know not every story needs a romantic subplot. But considering how romance was a huge aspect of Inuyasha, this seems like a big missed opportunity. It also didn't help that Moroha played the role of Shippo of being comic relief despite being the daughter of the main cast Inuyasha and Kagome... Not saying she can't be comic relief, just that she didn't seem to have a major role in the story. 3. Lack of modern era. This might be a bit of a nitpick but I loved the modern-era parts of Inuyasha although they made up a small number of episodes in it. I just think it's a huge missed opportunity to keep Towa and the others stuck in the Sengoku period when the story was originally about a girl time-traveling back and forth between two eras. This just further separated Yashahime from Inuyasha IMO. 4. Too many unnecessary episodes. Yes, Inuyasha had lots of filler and repetitive episodes but that show had the advantage of being almost 200 episodes long. Yashahime is just a quarter of its length but it tried to have too many filler-y episodes that didn't move the main plot forward in any meaningful way. What's also a shame is that it reused a lot of the demons from Inuyasha instead of creating something original. For the most part, the show played it safe by keeping things the same, probably to not anger older fans. Except it lacks the charm of Inuyasha because the main characters act foolishly. 5. Weak villains. Naraku has to be one of the coolest villains in anime ever. He was evil and threatening. Most importantly, he and his incarnations were one of the most memorable aspects of Inuyasha. Can't say that about Kirinmaru and his gang. Heck, even the Band of the Seven was more memorable than the four perils or whatever in Yashahime. 6. This is more of an extension of the last point but the Yashahime cast didn't have a personal connection with the villains like Inuyasha did with Naraku. Unlike most anime like Inuyasha where the villain is an obstacle to the heroes' goals, Naraku was BOTH the obstacle and the goal of the main characters of Inuyasha. Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, and Miroku's history were intertwined with Naraku's. Kirinmaru might've been at odds with Yashahime's grandfather Toga but his connection with his granddaughters felt forced. He became wary of them only because the Shikon Jewel which doesn't even exist anymore made a prediction a long time ago. And Yashahime group was going after Kirinmaru because the Sacred Tree told them to. Kirinmaru might've ruined the lives of Towa and Setsuna but it seemed like it was something that could've been avoided. Who knows, there may be more information revealed in Season 2 which might make this last point null. Speaking of Season 2, I hope it's good or at least better than Season 1. I doubt they had any time to take any of the criticisms of Season 1 to improve Season 2 considering it came out only a year after Season 1 ended though. Inuyasha isn't my childhood show or anything so I think I didn't have any nostalgia blindness or anything like that. I still enjoyed Yashahime despite its flaws. It has some of the same flaws as Inuyasha except they're worse here. |
| Guess Setsuna took a big L in this fight, while Towa and Moroha could show their true powers. This show started off quite okay, I enjoyed the first episodes. But then the story had some really weird turns and character motivations were all over the place. And in the last episode they fight in space, because... why not lol 4/10 |
| Nice finale, full of action, makes total sense tho, he's a space powers yokai 😊 um... Nothing unusual here that Rumiko wouldn't pulled out of her ass anyways. It's kinda on par with inuyasha's quality out there... I totally get it now, when ppl said "wait and you'll see" hehe. 4/5.

| Nice finale. I like that the villain actually wins. And he spares them out of respect for the great battle they gave him. Kirinmaru is quite honorable for a villain, seeing as how he prefers to fight his enemies at their strongest. He is the polar opposite of Naraku, who was also strong but mostly used schemes and cunning strategy to get his way, and showed no respect or remorse doing so. So Sesshomaru is going to pass down the Tenseiga to Towa, and she will use it to revive Setsuna. There might be some sort of cost though. The next season should make it clear right away. |
