Klee15 When I first heard that they were making a movie for the series, Inu-Yasha, I was very excited, especially because I had been a fan of the series for a very long time. Sadly, the movie isn't nearly as good as most people would make it out to be.If anybody has seen the episodes featuring the Black Priestess, Tsubaki, you would recognize that much of this movie is not much more than a glorified version of those episodes. The characters Kikyo and Sesshomaru also make very forced appearances (forced as in, its just to please the fan boys and fan girls, but not much more). The main antagonist, Menomaru, is not very compelling, especially when compared to villains used for the Inu-Yasha movies that followed. And because Menomaru isn't very interesting (both in personality and in goals), the story itself isn't very interesting. Take out the obvious Tsubaki references, and the best way to describe this story is "overused."The animation and music however is a great improvement over the television series. It is clear from some of the character designs that they tried to make it look more like the comic. And that, in my opinion, is welcome. I thought the characters actually looked rather odd when I first saw the television series. But there is a nice amount of detail in this movie that makes it very easy on the eyes.While Inu-Yasha: Affections Touching Across Time is not unwatchable, it certainly isn't as good as I expected to be...

Sparrow_in_flight While I don't quite agree with the reviewer who said this is better than the TV show, this is definitely one of my favorite movies (and I just bought it yesterday).For those unfamiliar with the show, the movie provides basic introductions and some facts needed about the main characters. For a better synopsis, though, either check out the "Special Footage" section of the DVD (which can seem disjointed) or find an online episode guide (TV Tome is helpful).Inuyasha: Affections Touching Across Time (US Title) definitely has some moments that truly stand out (not saying the rest of the movie is bad, but these moments are exceptionally memorable.) For instance, the meeting of Kagome and Kikyo after Kagome is forced to shoot Inuyasha with an arrow, leaving him slumped against the God Tree...with both girls in miko clothing, it is eerie to see....especially Kikyo's words to Kagome: "You truly are my reincarnation"...And let's not forget the meeting of Kikyo and Sesshomaru! Short, yes, but definitely a memorable moment, in my mind.Overall, InuYasha, Affections Touching Across Time is a great movie that does the TV show and manga proud.

gtx5_crusader I recommend this movie to people who have met two prequisits: Those who like anime, and for those who like Anime to watch at least the first 20 or so episodes of Inuyasha. If you've watched that many or have a good understanding of the Inuyasha storyline and characters, then watch the movie too. I felt that this movie was BETTER than the series itself and was not just like a long episode. Rather, it was more of an in-depth description of the characters.If I had to give a score, up to 100, 1 being a being a home video with the cover still on and a broken microphone, 100 being something that you will watch over and over again for eternity, I'd give it:89/100I give it less than 90 because the 2nd movie was better than this one.
