I think the story started out good but is slowly going down. The only 2 characters i find appealing are sesshomaru and kouga besides that there's nothing really keeping me going on this anime. Anyone else agree or is it just me?

It's not just you, but you're definitely in the minority...

Miroku and Sango actually seemed to make some progress in this one. At least she wasn't nearly as mad when she slapped him, and Miroku is trying to learn what he is doing wrong...

This episode is chronologically out of place in the anime. It just does not follow suit of the story. In the manga it essentially takes place after episode 23, before sango was even present and sheds a little more light on the origins of the shikon jewel, the old man leads inuyasha and gang to search for the exterminators village where the shikan no tama originated from.

You're right, the episode did feel out of place for some reason.

In any case, I didn't enjoy this episode as much. I'd much prefer more episodes with Kohaku than some random ninja children.

Laughed at girls face at the end : ''Dafuk, who is that OP group??''

That's the outcome you get from accepting two fishy girls that were throwing rocks at you as apprentices. Those fooking brats.

That is because it is filer in the sense that it never happened in the manga. As filler it is good but as for as quality compared to the overall story goes, well...

Alright episode. I actually wanted a more Sango-focused story, but not including two annoying filler characters.

According to animefillerlist and the Wikia, this is the first anime-original episode of Inuyasha. So if you have to complain about fillers, this episode fits the bill the most.

Not a terrible episode but you can tell this wasn't canon due to the drop in quality. The shinobi shimai or ninja sisters were pretty shallow and also annoying. But for a Sango-focused episode it was pretty good. Looking forward to the next episodes. Also, Inuyasha and Kagome did the episode preview together.
