It seems that Inuyasha has no interest in anything other than the Shikon Jewel, I guess being a Youkai is always better than a half-demon^^ At least Kagome can still return between both worlds so the adventure continues :D

This episode was way better than the first so I may contiue watching the rest. Inuyasha cares only about two things
1. Himself
2. The Jewel

Well, it's obvious that is going to be the case eventually I don't think there was very much any indication in this episode. Except for, maybe, when he reacted to her snubbing him for not helping the child.

Speaking of the scene with the kid, I thought that was some pretty great quick thinking by Kagome when she figured out how to kill the crow. Not to mention how she generally kept her head when she was attacked by the possessed Bandit leader. I'm not going to delude myself into thinking she'll be much of a factor in combat in the future, but I still appreciate that she is a cut above other characters of her type from what I've seen.

Another very interesting episode. I have to admit, some of the later episodes of Inuyasha are incredibly boring but these initial ones are really good.

I like how Kagome didn't freak out when the bandits kidnapped her and that troll/crow was attacking her. Still, it was kind of a stretch of disbelief that she didn't panic at all, but I've seen to many anime with characters like that so I'm not complaining.

Kagome using the crows foot was smart but in hindsight it was incredibly dumb ^^ Now the jewel shard is in 1000 pieces. Looks like we got a long road ahead of us. I can imagine Inuyasha's anger though. He had the jewel in front of him and now he has to go on a cross-country adventure to find over 9000 shards xD

Entertaining episode, I loved this one. I really love InuYasha in the earlier episodes, he's very entertaining well he's always entertaining but he's very different in the beginning. Good episode, I'm glad I restarted again from episode 1.

True stuff.

I forgot how different InuYasha is compared to the typical shounen protagonist. It is quite refreshing.

The plot begins!

Eh, that was clever to use the foot to hit her target. She not really dumb, just extremely confused as to what she's doing there. And I can understand, as I'm confused too.

InuYasha isn't really likable so far. But he show some nice moves. He's just really hard to understand. She'll have to tame him... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

"Sit!" hehehe... love it! Where can I get one of those subjugation necklaces? I know some people I wouldn't mind using it on. :P

I love Kagome so far! She's obviously got a big heart, but also pretty clever too. Also, it seems to me they might have just set up the whole plot of the show, since they probably need to search for all of those Sacred Jewel shards.

I think I might really enjoy this show! ✿ 4/5

Probably better in pieces, Naraku at that time would not only have easily bested them, but got the whole thing untimely.

Well, their world is more bizarre than I thought it will be... After the vulture got away from the man, he literally transformed into a skeleton, damn. Inuyasha has no interest in anything besides the jewel, interesting personality he has. Good episode.

This anime is super nostalgic for me. I watched it a ton back in the day, but I never finished it. So this is a rewatch, but also kind of a first watch.

That corpse crow was creepy when it zombified the big guy. Uh, oh jewel broke and we all see where this is going (defeating the monster of the week and collecting shards). I like how InuYasha and Kagome have quite the rocky start to their relationship.

That cursed beads XD

Inuyasha is such a Tsundere. I'm sure he'll open up later on with Kagome.

Those bandits are quick to turn to Kagome when they're leader became crazy as fuck.

the role of inuyasha didn't defined in this ep, though it seems he cares only about himself, he's acting nicely around the villagers, sure that he want the shikon jewel, but it doesn't seems to want to take it by force by kagome or make a scene, for example, he could take it at night when she was a sleep.

on the other hand, kagome acting really naive and stupid, first she's being friendly and all to inuyasha who just attacked her, and helping the men who kidnapped her, second she just threw away the jewel stupidly like she has given up. the only smart thing she did was attaching that crow foot to that arrow, though it made the jewel to break.

not that's bad and all, that's the good thing about inuyasha, the characters just making themself evolve through the cases.

now the story has begun.

Inuyasha is such a tsudere! He cares about Kikyo's death but doesn't want anyone to know, he is protecting Kagome but says he is doing it for the sacred jewel. I think he is putting a tough front because people think of him only as a demon.

A very funny and ironic ep, espesially when Kagome ordered Inuyasha to sit, the way one orders a dog, with him being a half dog demon!

So Kagome is the reincarnation of Kikyo. I wish Kagome was voiced by Hidaka Noriko too but that's probably my bias. It'll take time to get used to Satsuki Yukino's voice acting cause Kagome reminds me a lot of Akane. Not saying her voice acting is bad by any means though.

Aw man. The jewel thingy had to shatter into thousands of pieces? This is going to be a long-ass journey. Hope it's going to be entertaining at least instead of repetitive and boring.

Kagome is courageous but she also made a lot of stupid mistakes. But she's in an unfamiliar environment and wants to go home asap so it's understandable. I wonder if she'll ever go home?

Kagome you just had to shoot at it's body...
Welp looks like the main plot begins, time to look for the dozens or hundreds of pieces of the jewel, I'm sure things won't be complicated at all.
