I hope you like hearing Towa screaming "SETSUNA!" a lot because she does... a lot.

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS

I've seen & finished both the manga and anime of Inuyasha + The Final Act. So I have prior knowledge of background & character information.

- The story starts off pretty decent but then stagnates significantly up until a few important episodes. There are more questions than answers even by the end of the season.
- Moroha does very little throughout the season as the show mainly focuses on Towa and Setsuna. Even Moroha's solo-focused episode comes off as poorly forced-in.
- Very little blood is shown; all the monsters just disintegrates when killed, only a few stab wounds and bleeding from the mouth is shown
- They play the flashback with Towa and Setsuna separating when they were kids A LOT. I'm serious. It's always the same flashback and Towa getting all serious about not separating from Setsuna ever again.
- Pacing is slow, it'll sprinkle in a few hints & scenes about past characters but don't expect any answers or much screentime involving them this season.
- Character motivations (Both main & side characters) are confusing & often jump from one objective to another. Often ignoring their original intent up until it comes up and even then not do anything.

It's an okay anime but it's very clearly just a large set-up season for all the (potentially) good stuff that's going to happen next season as Season 2 was announced immediately after the last episode aired.
