One day on her fifteenth birthday, Kagome entered a
well that was inside her family's shrine. Little did she know
that she would be transported to the past in a time where many
youkai (demons) dwell. There she realizes that she is the
reincarnation of a past priestess named Kikyo who had the
destiny to purify and protect the Shikon no Tama, a jewel that
manifests and increases the evil desires and power of youkai and
evil humans. Kagome wandered throughout the new place where she
had arrived and found Inu Yasha, a dog-like half-youkai that
Kikyo had sealed before her untimely death. Kagome had
discovered the Shikon no Tama hidden within her while an
encounter with a youkai. However, the Shikon no Tama had been
shattered and dispersed after battling a different youkai. After
learning more about this time, Kagome eventually accepted her
destiny to find and protect the Shikon no Tama (while still
juggling school work) as well with the help of a likeable cast
of strong warriors.
I first heard about Inuyasha from a forum I frequently visit. I
wasn't that interested because I had only seen some fan art and
a bit of talk about it, but a few weeks a go Cartoon Network
started airing the English dub of Inuyasha. I watched the first
episode and it interested me a lot. Seeing that even the English
dub of Inuyasha was interesting I decided to download it in
subtitled Japanese. This is now one of my favorite anime series,
I've watched 51 episodes in the last few days. It has a great
plot, and has many twists and turns. I recommend Inuyasha to
anyone with a broadband connection or money to buy the DVDs
online. Heck, you could even watch the English dub on Saturday
nights if you like.
