Most of the performative internet hate for it back in the day though was due to it not being exclusively boy enough.

i think with the popularity of stuff like pretty cure and kemono friends with guys, inuyasha has started to receive far less hate as a result.

i'm not saying the show is perfect (it's very repetitive, and could have ended much sooner), but the characters are fun, and i liked it when the dog man slashes monsters with big dog tooth sword.

also, the next rumiko anime (rinne) is more manly due to the fact that it has the VAs for simon, yoko and kamina from gurren lagann

It had some really good moments, but also a lot of meandering that felt like it didn't know what it wanted to do. So when it was on it was really on, but that wasn't the whole show. Would probably be better consolidated down into a movie.

i really liked the intro eps for sesshomaru, that's my only inuyasha opinion until i watch more.

also it's kinda funny to see the ep1 centipede lady just casually in the pv for the new series

i'd read the manga. it cuts out some of the filler that inuyasha is known for, plus it has some pretty great character moments that were cut out of the anime.

i also wouldn't recommend the movies because they exaggerate the flaws of the characters, imo. inuyasha and sesshomaru's dad is pretty cool though, and is voiced by snake

Gridman was undercooked and just kinda boring.

I remember being a baby and thinking Inuyasha was weirdly dark and edge of your seat exciting and it's funny to think how it prolly sctatched the same itch for a generation of young anime watchers back then as, I unno, Tokyo Ghoul or Gleipnir does now. Seems like about the right time to bring that franchise back, seeing as how those shows have done so well.

Rent-a-Girlfriend doing really well on Anitrendz, it's the highest-rated non-sequel series, Chizuru is the top non-sequel female character, and her and that idiot MC are the #1 ship this week.

Sadly Natsume from Deca-Dence doesn't even rank, which is a goddamn crime.

anime originals aren't usually that popular with the seasonal zeitgeist audience who do all those ranking and rating sites. takes longer for them to build a reputation

Inuyasha is best watched when you’re half asleep at 3am and just kind of see a random episode completely out of context on TV. I remember thinking it kicked rear end in that state, but then when I tried to actually watch it all the way through, it was just kind of boring and had way too much filler.

yeah, i don't think inuyasha is meant to be binged watch all at once. unlike most other shonen like dragon ball or one piece, there aren't any major arcs, and it's mostly monster of the week episodes like a mecha anime.

i still liked it, but i can see why people wouldn't. at least it didn't insult my intelligence like naruto did later on

probably the fact that naruto forgives a whole poo poo ton of horrible people, including the guy who's indirectly responisble for the death of his parents, and the fact that he's obsessed with a guy who's tried to kill him multiple times and is also terrible.

Very few mecha anime do monster of the week episodes without major arcs.

yeah we pick that up years after they've become thick as thieves

but also like, i don't think it's "disrespecting your intelligence" rather than just being something you fundamentally disagree with. naruto has a clear idealism he sticks with throughout the series. it's the core theme from the first chapter to gaara's arc to its biggest hurdle in pain/nagato.

I liked the show in spurts and some of the fights and demon designs were cool, just hated everything about the relationship dynamics of the two main "pairings" in the group.

The demystification of the Kyuubi into some giant named pet was one of the worst moments of that series.

Not as bad as Sasuke going "Yeah sorry I tried to killed you" and Karin starts fawning over him again.

And then he's the reincarnation of like the first ninja and is able to beat the progenitor of all ninjas because his boobie jutsu is literally the only completely original jutsu that's ever been made.

does it have to do with the sit commands for inuyasha and kagome? that poo poo was really exaggerated in the anime compared to the manga, especially if you watch the movies.

i agree that the miroku and sango relationship sucks and is dumb.

i'm sorry if it sounds like i'm being a fan boy. i'm really trying not to be one

I still refuse to call Eren Jaeger's series anything other than THE EOTENA ONSLAUGHT because it's just hilariously silly that I can still remember 7 years after I read those aforementioned silly justifications for the title change on those subs (even after the publisher/author actually decided to go with the official localized title they went to). :mmmhmm:

OTOH, Grouchio stop doing that poo poo. If I got my dumbass coworker to drop that awful poo poo (at least during working hours/while we're on meetings), I have absolutely zero remorse to be just as much of a hardass with you. Knock it off.
