Not much to say. I got into Inuyasha noticing it on a shelf in the anime section of a movie store, looked it up and thought it was my kind of show, the kind you just can't see anymore - epic deathmatches against evil, and an ending that gives you closure (though I made a point of not looking up anything in-between). And found it for a decent price, especially for anime.

Favorite characters are Inuyasha and Sango, with Shippo and Kirara not far behind. Favorite villain is Naraku, because I love his Paul Dobson voice, it's even better than Zarbon's and almost like Super Buu after absorbing Gotenks and Piccolo (I'm Canadian, so I feel sorry for all the Americans who had to miss out on that awesome voice because Justin Cook's Super Buu wasn't nearly as good).

But here we have an 8-season anime with Ocean doing voices all the way through, furthermore, Inuyasha is voiced by Richard Ian Cox, who did the voice of Zaacro in Dragonball Z, and I loved Zaacro's voice and Inuyasha's isn't much different (not like Snails in My Little Pony). He is also a major tsundere, and the most prominent example of male tsundere (since female tsunderes are more often to be seen).

This was back when animes where at least half the protagonists are male (exactly half in this case - one of the two main characters and two of their four sidekicks) could actually kill major villains, because lately the only animes that have the backbone for that are the ones where most of the protagonists are female (not that I don't like them of course, having seen and loved Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon Crystal, Winx Club, and Glitter Force). Other such animes from these days are Digimon, Dragonball Z, Gundam Wing, and Naruto. Though ironically the two biggest villain deaths (three counting the evil object) came many years later in 2013, much to criticism of fans.

With a lot of the shows I'm watching (such as Supernatural, My Little Pony, and Marvel) refusing to have closure or even kill major villains anymore (which I see as a classic ending from watching Sailor Moon and Disney movies at a young age, and being more old-fashioned), Inuyasha is exactly what I needed and quickly made my top tier list of favorite shows.

(At the time I wrote this, I've seen Season 1, still have to go through Seasons 2-7, The Final Act, and the four movies)
