Anime Strikes!





INUYASHA THE MOVIE: AFFECTION TOUCHING ACROSS TIME (2001) and INUYASHA: THE CASTLE BEYOND THE LOOKING GLASS (2002)-These two Japanese Animes are based on a popular animated TV series about a resurrected half demon’s attempt to become a full demon in Feudal Japan. Modern day school girl Kagome assists him in his search for the pieces of a shattered jewel he needs to complete his transformation. They are also helped by Shippo, a fox demon, Sango, a warrior looking for her brother (she also throws a mean boomerang), Miroku, a horny monk who has “cursed wind tunnel” in one of his hands and Myoga, a flea demon. These two movies continue their adventures from the series and also feature other characters from the show including Sesshomaru, Inuyashu’s deadly older brother. It helps if you are familiar with the TV show (which in turn is based on a Manga by Rumiko Takahashi who also created Ranma ½) but they are still enjoyable on their own.












NUYASHA-SWORDS OF AN HONORABLE RULER-2003-In the third OVA of these popular Anime series the half demon Inuyashu must team up with his demon brother to battle a demon connected with their late father. All the regular supporting characters are featured as well. If you are a fan of the series (which I am) you’ll like this.

Thanks for reading!
