Anyone else not like Inuyasha?

Post by Bulghod » Sun Nov 07, 2004 2:09 am

I ask this because i've heard so many people online talk about how much they like Inuyasha, and all the small things about the show. I proudly say i don't like Inuyasha, and i want to know who's with me and why.

I don't like the show because of how long it is, how unoriginal it is, how they've been able to stretch the show into i don't know how many episodes, and the fandom surrounding it.

Well, I certainly don't follow the serial, but it is decent.

Disclaimer- All IMHO:
From what I notice, the overall quality of animation isn't anything to write home about, but for such a long production length, expected.
Some of the characters I found very likable.
Unoriginal?... Yeah much of it had been done before, BUT from a puritanical standpoint, you'd be hard pressed to find many anime nowadays that is 100% original. Even heavily lauded shows like Eva or Full Metal Panic, borrowed elements/ideas from predecessors (some of these preds may not be available in America or Europe).

I'm not one to let the fandom associated with a title influence me.
A valid reason for you I'm sure, but please elaborate exactly.

. The Fandom comes from other works like Ranma½ and I'm for Sango, but
against the series itself.. Right from the start of this series
I couldn't figure-out why soo many things were taking soo long to develope!
. `me thinks this series is being kept alive - by pure hipe'

In the second episode, when the shikon no tama thing they were all trying to chase down shattered into a million pieces, I held my head in my hands and gave up on trying to watch it.
Collect one shiny ball and keep it safe = manageable show.
Collect a trillion tiny tiny shards of glass = really really long.

I've only seen four episodes beyond that, so I don't know how good it is as it continues, but the first few episodes seemed promising.

I personally don't like it, although I did manage to watch the entire show(no clue why...) It is extremly repetivite (more then DBZ in my opinion :shock:) and the show never went anywhere and of course
Spoiler wrote:they ended the show in the middle of the story and decided to let people read the manga instead... or hold up hope and create mass rumors about a OVA series

In the end, the power of the fangirl will always win, and cause shows such as this to both exist and last as long as they can.

something phade said once, i remember someone quoting it in thier sig, if you've got nothing to say then shut the [Expletive removed.] up

[paizuri: Thread locked because it's pointless. There are any number of reasons to not like a show, but a thread like this will just lead to a bunch of fans and non-fans arguing over it.]
