Inu-Yasha - The Movie - Affections Touching Across Time
: * TAKE NOTE *
I threw a hissy fit when I read the Amazon editorial review that stated this DVD was not widescreen formatted (I first saw the film in a theatre, and even though the animation is patchy at times there are some great cinematic shots that should only be seen on widescreen). NEVER FEAR! ^_^ DESPITE WHAT IS WRITTEN ABOVE, THE DVD *IS* WIDESCREEN!
If you're an Inuyasha fan, you should buy this movie, even if you already have the Japanese version. The story is coherent and fun, and all members of Inu-tachi get a little character development (and suffer angst on the way!). Particular attention is given to Kagome and Inuyasha's tentative relationship. Fluffy-fans beware, there is precious little Sesshoumaru.
Others will sum up the plot for you, let me just say that there are nice extras. You can choose between English or Japanese language tracks, and additional material include the trailer for the second (dubbed) Inuyasha movie, several original Japanese trailers for this first one, character sketches from the film production, and a Japanese television program (subbed only) that uses clips from the first 50 or so episodes to promote the film. The program is narrated by different characters and gives the basic outline of the Inuyasha story up to Inuyasha's discovery of the Backlash Wave (Jaken and Rin are especially cute together), and ties in the plot of the film.
A final note on the dub -- there are a few cheesy moments (Kaede's yechy "ye's" among them), but on the whole it is very well done. Monk Miroku's English voice actor is a scream, and he possesses near perfect dry, comic timing.
A good price, and a very worthy DVD! ^_^
 I am a parent of two elementary school kids. I was horrified when my kids tell me I should watch this movie with them because it was really good, and I saw how violent it was. The characters were all trying to kill each other, and the bloodiness was really too much. THis should not be viewed by any children under 12, and I sure will not let them watch this awful violent movie again.
The movies starts with the Kagome instroducing herself and the others who are fighting a scropion and then Kagome shows and tells Inuyasha where the sacred is. Then they have lunch that Kagome made and then she asked Inuyasha if he likes it and he tells her to shut up because he is eating and then Kagome asked him again if it was good, then he says that there was something missing so he checks in the bag and brings out a cup of noodles that makes Kagome mad so she tells him to sit!
Killa then starts crying and runs away and Sango and the Monk go after her to meet these two ladies who have poision her and she can;t remember Sango. They take Killa and one of the ladies copys the Monks Wing Tunnel into her arm. Somewhere else Kagome runs into Kikyo on her way home and then hides. She starts thinking that Kikyo and Inuyasha still love each other when he shows up ans kisses her finger that she cut against the a tree. Then Menomoru shows up, Piosion's Kagome and stabs Inuyasha then goes to pick up Inuyasha's sword that he can;t pick up because it has rejected him. He then posseessed Kagome into shooting Inuyasha with an arrow. Kikiyo then appears abd tell Kagome that she it an outsider, that she has to go home and that she hurt Inuyasha.The monk and Sango kill the two assiants of Menomaru and gets Killa back. Kagome is depressed bceause the well has been filled up with roots so that she can;t get back to Inuyasha. Kagome then touches the Sacred Tree and then she ccould feel Inuyasha. He hugs her and tell her that he needs her that she should come back. Kagome comes backa and they destroy the Moth Man.
I loved this movie and I can't wait intil the next one comes out!
This is one of the best movies I've ever seen, and would suggest it to not just avid Inuyasha fans, but to anyone who likes anime. This movie is the perfect mix of typical Inuyasha foot-in-mouth-ness, and comedy, with just a pinch of Romance (just a little...^__~) Love it love it love it!!!
First, I must note, that the character's faces are drawn a little differently in the movies (compared to the series) and I didn't particularly like it, but the special computer effects and plot of the movie are really great.
Inuyasha+Kagome fans will "awwwwww" when they see how the movie really focuses on their relationship (he kisses her hurt finger, and later tells her how much he needs her). And Kagome looks really awesome when she gets possessed and flies around shooting lazers out of her fingertips at Inuyasha. Kirara also gets possessed and attacks Sango, but it'll bring a tear to your eye how she forces herself to stop (awww--true friendship!). And a little of Inuyasha's father's history is shown as the main plot of the story involves a demon once locked away by him that gets free. Moths are gross.
The soundtrack also rocks! Especially the opening title track. I would suggest buying that also (as a true fan would). I can't wait til the next movie is released!
