Takahashi comments[edit]

http://web.archive.org/web/19980214184751/j-pop.com/archive/manga/6/feature/feature1.html

"INU-YASHA is a fantasy manga in which Kagome, a teenage girl from modern Japan, travels back to Japan's Middle Ages to face demonic creatures from the past... and Inu-Yasha, her unwitting demonic ally, captured by herself in a former life. The art style draws from Takahashi's action-heavy RANMA 1/2 and the moodier MERMAID'S FOREST, and sees some of her first use of computer tone effects, giving it a denser look. Super-powered battles abound, and it wouldn't be Takahashi without humor, but the atmosphere is generally fantastic -- and horrific.

INU-YASHA is similar in many ways to Yoshihiro Kuroiwa's ZENKI THE DEMON PRINCE and Kazuhiro Fujita's OSHIO AND TORA, both successful manga (and anime) in which the descendants of priests summon or release bloodthirsty demons but, luckily, are able to bend them to their will. (USHIO AND TORA has its cat-like "Tora" pinned to a wall with a 'demon spear'; ZENKI has a female heroine.) But the feudal setting, and time travel, recalls nothing as much as Rumiko Takahashi's FIRE TRIPPER.
...

Inu-Yasha (which translates roughly to "dog demon" -- "I wanted a cool, but wild name," Takahashi has said)"

Missing media[edit]

There are 3 "OVAs" and a theater production that are not mentioned in this article (seen here under "specials"). I'm not a big fan of this series so I'm just letting it be known, someone else can add them and try to find reliable sources. 00:16, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Those "OVA"s seem to be a collection of multiple episodes in the anime series. Not sure that even makes them earn the "O" in "OVA". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.245.71.56 (talk) 13:47, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Some OVAs come in that style. That's how Gintama and Clamp's X started. It involved multiple stories in preparation for the anime.Tintor2 (talk) 15:23, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
