It is the first InuYasha media installment to. But even so, I highly recommend this show to anybody yearning for more than just flaming mesomorphs and pocket monsters. InuYasha Movie 3: Tenka Hadou no Ken premiered between the release of the TV series episodes 136 and 137. It takes patience to watch the series, with 100+ episodes and long-running character development, it would take a fortune of DVD purchases or steadfast loyalty to the television at 1:00 am (as of this writing)to get the entire story down. The show is thankfully devoid of giant sweat-drops, fountain tears and misplaced mouths. Im not sure where you heard that a Movie 5 was coming out, but either they are wrong or they are joking. The visual quality is a step above pocket monsters and moon princesses as well. They actually are doing a new few last ones: The original cast is getting together to remake the last chapter of InuYasha into an anime, but thats a whole nother story. Hundreds soon turned into thousands of demons coming out. Both InuYasha and Kagome cautiously took a few steps back as they watched the demons come out. On the other hand, there is romance, guilt, past betrayals and secrets to be discovered, not to mention sight gags and running jokes. Demons were sprouting out from the ground. The world of feudal Japan is laced with ghosts, demons and other critters who roar, slash, dash, slice, splat and snarl, and at least one of these beasts duke it out with the title character per episode. One might say that Inuyasha combines the best of both Shonen and Shojo stylings.

The general gist of the plot is Kagome, a modern schoolgirl, winds up in feudal times and must help a half-demon(Inyasha) recover the shards of a jewel of ultimate power.

Thankfully, Cartoon Network has put a block of Japan's finest in their red-eye time slot, spearheaded by Inuyasha. With Pokemon, Beyblade and Yu-Gi-Oh gracing the small screen, it has become difficult to take Japanese Anime seriously.
