Inuyasha - An Anime Review

[@tobinbtm]

Inuyasha was my gateway anime back when I was in elementary school. I watched it on Toonami late at night. So nostalgic 😭

[@lazylion.productions]

Ahh yeass those Fridays where you’d spend all day just waiting for the late-night anime segment to go on, which for us was over on YTV’s Bionix, XD Those are some treasured memories for sure. What were some of the other big shows at the time on Toonami that you used to watch along with Inuyasha?

[@tobinbtm]

@@lazylion.productions My big three at the time were Inuyasha, Ruroni Kenshin, and Yu Yu Hakusho.

[@TheMCvamp]

@@tobinbtm omg same. I just did a full yu yu hakusho rewatch and was surprised by how well it help up! Thinking of doing kenshin next. Omg and someone just brought Big O back to my attention, and I was so shocked because I completely forgot it existed 😱

[@iamLI3]

@@TheMCvamp strange i somehow missed kenshin , i don't recall ever seeing it on tv but later i found the manga in the library and some few episode dvds at blockbuster...

[@TheTaylorwailer]

I definitely was one of those Canadian kids who watched this on YTV! I still occasionally think about it... like today not long before finding your channel!

[@lazylion.productions]

Haha for us watching YTV with Carlos and Sugar has become synonymous with our childhood. And the fact that Sugar voiced Mini Moon from Sailor Moon always blew my mind lol

[@amandadean5470]

Me too! I was a teenager when Inuyasha aired on YTV and I recorded it on VHS at night! 😊

On a rainy night in the spring of 2003, I found Inuyasha along with Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Big-O, and Lupin The 3rd on Adultswim. I grew up in the 80s watching reruns of anime classics like Speed Racer, Battle of the Planets, and Voltron; discovering Inuyasha and the others reignited my love for anime that I still have.

Inuyasha got me into anime when i was younger and now im a weeb, thanks japan

thankyou darksouls

There was another anime that Viz Media/Ocean Group dubbed and brought over around the time Inuyasha was being brought over back then called Project ARMS. which was another adaption of a Shonen Sunday Manga. Although Project ARMS was about highschoolers learning they were implanted with nanomachine weapons called ARMS and having to fight back against an secret organization run by a group of clones called the Egregori. Alot of the Inuyasha VAs worked on that series, notably the recently late Kirby "Miroku" Morrow as the main character Ryo. As well as Shippo's VA Jillian Micheals as a rude potty mouth child genius named Al Bowen and Kikyo's VA Willow Johnson as a blonde American Psychic named Yugo Gilbert.

[@lazylion.productions]

Very cool, thanks for leaving us your comment. We did come across Project ARMS briefly while researching the voice actors for Inuyasha but kinda shied away from it since we hadn’t seen it yet and we weren’t sure which characters were actually main ones vs. extras. What’s your verdict on Project ARMS - Is it worth checking out?

[@doodlebugfour7070]

@@lazylion.productions It's a pretty interesting series, though a flawed adaptation of it's Manga. Everyone in the Dub is well casted and for the most part well acted, though some of the dialogue at times is pretty questionably hilarious (The kind of dialogue you would find in Ghost Stories), considering Viz hired Amanda Winn Lee as co-scriptwriter for the dub. The Animation Quality can be hit and miss, especially in its second season called "The 2nd Chapter" where they switched from Season 1's Cel Animation to Computer Animation that was the norm of anime shows back in the early 2000's. I say its worth the watch, especially for its dub, considering we rarely see Ocean working on anime anymore these days, not to mention what became of Kirby Morrow. Discotek Media has relicensed the Anime for over $50 for the entire series, though episodes can be found on KZbin.

[@theodoretekkers]

I'm watching this on Netflix. My favourite character is either Kaidai or Shippo.

[@jstewlly4747]

Ok I gotta give this a try really don't like Shonen but it seems like this and Yuyu are worth a try......congrats on 1 year.......I think Escaflowne movie review is calling your name lol(sora playing)....keep it up!!!

[@lazylion.productions]

Thanks so much :D If you end up watching Inuyasha, let us know what you think! Now, as for the Escaflowne movie, (haha) we can’t make any promises, no matter how compelling the siren’s call (Sora) might be lol Nice choice though, Sora is probably my favourite song from the movie soundtrack ;)

[@amandadean5470]

Great review! 🙂 One of my favourite animes of the 2000s! I was a teenager and would stay up late at night and recorded it on VHS.

[@lazylion.productions]

Yooo!! Us too! We still have all the VHS tapes with InuYasha recorded on them XD

[@andreaogrady4665]

I recorded it on VHS too! 🤩🥰 I’d watch every morning while getting ready for school

[@rottingeyes7325]

Ah yes the nostalgia indeed. I will have to rewatch this series. Congrats on your first year of making videos!

[@lazylion.productions]

Thanks so much! It’s awesome to have people who support the channel like you, it really helps keep us motivated to continue creating videos :D

[@V1dma5t3r]

Damn I'm late but happy one year anniversary of your channel

[@lazylion.productions]

Thank you! It may seem random, but we are proud of what we’ve done so far, so comments like these always put a smile on our faces :D Thanks for supporting Lazy Lion’s journey.

[@missbeans]

Sango was such a bad-ass! And her character design is on point. I wanted her to have her own series lol.

[@RMMR00]

Inuyasha’s osts were absolutely magical

[@lazylion.productions]

Kaoru Wada did an excellent job! And the OPs and EDs were like you said magical ~ "Dearest" and "Still Alone" by Ayumi Hamasaki or "Deep Forest" by Do As Infinity or "Every Heart" by BoA or "My Will" by Dream… I mean we could go on and on, we love them all! ♡＼(￣▽￣)／♡

pleasant lil inu-yasha nostalgia vid , cute story about getting your sister to record an episode

[@jamesmoss3424]

Inuyasha is an brilliant anime series of the 2000's. 😀👍

[@20th_century_Ghost]

P.S. I actually had my whole anime dvd collection stolen years ago, and last month, I bought the whole series on DVD again, and I'm rewatching it all over.

Late to the party. I love how he is also an awkward 15-year-old and gets in a fight with Kagome when he is trying to be nice.

[@lazylion.productions]

The clumsy interactions are honestly one of the best parts you’re right! And when it comes to Inuyasha, it’s better late than never (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

The last 30 episodes fell flat and was horrible when compared the first like 70 episodes. And the other 26 in the “final chapter” were alright at its absolute best and the final fight with narrako was horrible
