| I read all the posts and I seriously think Inuyasha fans are way too harsh with this anime. I finished Inuyasha the manga recently so I can't speak for the anime, only talk about the story and chara development. I say Yashahime is fairly faithful to the original material. Yes the pacing is irregular but that's normal for productions by Takahashi Rumiko. There is a plot, basically find the memories of Setsuna and discover who they are cause just like the audience, apart from visual chara design clue, we have no freaking idea what happened between this sequel and Inuyasha. It takes time to flesh out all the character details. If you watched Rinne, Ranma and other Rumiko works, you can't seriously complain about the pacing cause it's the same, but you can dislike this of course. Why Sesshoumaru left his daughters to fend for themselves in a forest despite being little girls? Why Inuyasha and Kagome didn't raise Moroha? They can't be that irresponsible. As for Towa being annoying with her ideals, she's basically a misfit no matter where she goes and that's normal. In the modern world, she looks and acts too different. In the Sengoku period, she knows nothing about it. Is there anybody here who grew up in a developped country who would be cool with killing, raping or pillage in another era? Just because it's the way it is in the feudal era doesn't mean you have to be fine with it even though the context makes it so. Expressing discomfort or being against that is normal, but useless that's true. Setsuna lost her memories and she's been trained to be a demon slayer. Obviously she's going to be the serious type and not the gag person. Moroha is Inuyasha reincarnated and seriously, quarter demon with half pristess descent is quite unheard of so it really doesn't challenge me with how she can have demonic and priestess powers. Is it the best show of the season? Hardly. I find it boring sometimes as well but it remains a fairly good watch with a decent amount of entertainment. I wasn't expecting much at first but with the second season confirmed I will definitely keep watching and see where it goes. |

I wasn't expecting much at first but with the second season confirmed I will definitely keep watching and see where it goes. The plot is forgotten and cast aside all the time. And the story is full of inconsistencies that make no sense, take for example that Towa had never transformed into a human when she was in the present era, makes NO sense. I wouldn't mind it if at least tried to be consistent with what it is trying to achieve. I really don't understand how people can defend this, I'm sorry. I may of been like 4-8 the first time I watched Inuyasha and 10-12 when I rewatched it but the flaws and step-down from the original series are heavy and obvious. |

But Yashahime is just a horrible fanfiction, NOTHING makes sense whatsoever. It honestly can not be compared to the original work. I meant that Yashahime had flaws and was a step-down from the original series sorry lol. |

| BIG AGREE Characters suck Rarely any plot development and when there is, it's sloppily shoved into one episode Every characters motives make 0 fucking sense SETSUNAAAAAAAAAAAAA Fight scenes are very lack lustre Can't really take the sky floating characters seriously I was beyond unimpressed while watching every single episode but you damn well know I'll suffer through the next season too :) |

I mean Ranma, Rinne and even Inuyasha to some degree, the plot is on the sideline most of the time. As for inconsistencies like Towa and the new moon, I fully agree. Consider this a plot hole that needs some work. I dunno maybe when in the modern world she's fully human until her demonic heritage woke up like her ability to create lightsabers. |

There's a big difference between having filler episodes and then 20 episodes in a 24 episode season all being filler episodes. Filler episodes also don't have to be completely meaningless either. They are a chance for character development, world building, comedy ect. But every filler episode in Yashahime was just the same boring shit recycled every time |

Among those filler episodes, you get to see a bit of the past, Miroku came back, introduction of Kirinmaru and his goonies, the rainbow pearls effect and why people are looking for them, Setsuna's past, Moroha's past... If you didn't like the show I'm okay with that. I just want to point out that it may not be as entertaining as many people thought hence this topic of "huge disappointment". Trying to be objective here, I'm not particularly a Inuyasha fan myself. |
Kary88 said: I love Rumiko's work and I don't mind fillers when the story is 100+ episodes. In this case we had 24 episodes with no character growth, no character development, and plot holes EVERYWHERE. They sometimes cared about the stupid butterfly and sometimes they didn't, at least in Inuyasha the pearl was always on their mind (or Naraku) and in Ranma, Ranma was always thinking of becoming a regular man. For the butterfly thing, only Towa cared about this though. Setsuna was whatev' and Moroha was focused on bounties. I thought the real plot was about Kirinmaru. |
| the plot is weak as fuk in this show, like 80% felt like filler that has no plot progression. combine that with a lack of OG characters being given screen time and it barely meets a nostalgic pass. Miroku is legit only character that had some ties to this plot, while koga, sango, shippo, and inuyasha/kogame barely get screen time. |

| It's not just the series that is a big disappointment, but it's ending too because: |
