I liked this DVD box set. It had over 25 episodes, at half the price you would pay for the one thats forty bucks.

If you want Inuyasha, and you want it in English then I highly recommend you buy this version. The regular version that has English and Japanese will cost you about 4 times more and if you aren't going to watch it in Japanese or aren't into bonus features, then why bust your wallet? This version has everything you need.

Kagome is a stressed teenage schoolgirl from the present day. Inuyasha is a surly half-demon from five hundred years in the past. And they're one of the more unlikely action pairs you could imagine, in the first-season boxed set of hit animated series "Inuyasha."

On Kagome's fifteenth birthday, she's suddenly pulled into a well on her family's shrine grounds -- and emerges five hundred years in the past. After bumbling around for awhile, she accidently frees a half-demon boy, Inuyasha, who is stuck to a tree. Inuyasha loathes her because of her resemblance to the priestess Kikyo, who pinned him to that tree -- especially when he learns that Kagome is Kikyo's reincarnation.

Even though they fight constantly, they have to team up to recover the shard of the powerful Shikon Jewel (which Inuyasha wants to use to eradicate his human half). Things take a sudden twist when Kagome learns that the much-abused Inuyasha was once in love with Kikyo, and that his feelings for Kagome herself are starting to change. Unfortunately, Kikyo has been brought back to unnatural half-life, which makes Inuyasha and Kagome even more confused.

And then a monk, Miroku, reveals the truth -- Kikyo and Inuyasha were turned against one another by an evil demon, Naraku. What's more, Naraku is collecting fragments of the Shikon jewel, so Inuyasha can get his revenge and his jewel shards at the same time. With the lovable, lecherous Miroku, beautiful and haunted demon-slayer Sango, and outspoken fox Shippo, Inuyasha and Kagome set out to stop Naraku.

Rumiko Takahashi is known for her romance and comedies. "Inuyasha" is a bit different -- it's darker, bloodier, though still with plenty of humor like naughty monk Miroku fondling the backside of every pretty woman he meets, or Kagome using her "sit" command to slam Inuyasha to the ground. But there's plenty of darkness, unresolved romance, and plenty of slam-bang action with enormous swords.

As in Takahashi's original comics, there's several standalone episodes, but the series overall is a continuing story about battling Naraku. There's plenty of other villains like Inuyasha's chilly half-brother Sesshomaru, the Thunder Brothers, and a cowardly painter with magical ink. Even Kikyo has a villainous moment or two. Overall the episodes cleave to the original translated material, with a few exceptions (such as Kagome calling Inuyasha a "pig" instead of "animal").

Inuyasha and Kagome are good leads -- they play off each other well, whether they're yelling at each other ("I didn't say 'get naked,' stupid!") or sharing tender moments ("You smell kinda nice..."). Miroku and Sango are a good secondary pair, with Miroku's lovable naughtiness and Sango's vulnerability. And Shippo serves as good comic relief. He can get a bit annoying, but he grows on you.

An action-packed fantasy with tinges of comedy, drama and romance, "Inuyasha"'s first season is a solid slam-bang experience that will leave viewers checking out what comes next.

My husband bought Season one for me after we saw the Inu Yasha movies, 1,2 and 3. Our family became wrapped up in this story. It has so much to offer! There's Kikyo, who first loved Inu Yasha. Then there's Kagome who is torn between her own world and this magical and often frightening time. The sad story of Kikyo, Kagome and InuYasha would be enough to keep me watching, but there is so much more! and so many sad moments. But then, there are many funny times too. I would recomend this anime to anyone who likes romance and comedy and who doesn't mind watching some pretty grusome battles. Also there is some mild language in some of the volumes. so parents may wish to view it first alone. I do wish there were no curse words. Still, I love this story :)

me & my sister luv watching inuyasha and when my dad got dis 4 me & her i wuz thrilled

I didnt have to wait long and the quality of the DVD was excellent, I will definetely buy from this seller again, good looking out and thank you, I've discovered that there are alot of ripoff companies in the the anime business, so I'm very pleased when I find a store that honest with quality merchandise.

This is not the larger box set, but it is a box set and does include all of the episodes and is a lot less expensive. Very good deal.

Inuyasha Sesson 1 this is great I love it, I am an Inuyasha fan big time, I highly reccomend it. If you havent seen Inuyasha The Final Act check
it out you will not be disappointed, it is epic

This is a must have for anyone who loves anime. Inuyasha was the show that got me into anime. There are so many hilarious moments and serious ones too. You got to love Inuyasha and his mouth and Miroku too. The only downside to this set is that there are no special features like on the other box sets. It's only the english dub. It ok if you only want the dub for a cheap price.

I recently purchased Season 1 of InuYasha and I couldn't be more satisfied with it. The product itself was in excellent condition and arrived at my home earlier then I thought it would! It was an excellent find and I intend to keep purchasing more items from this site; first to complete my InuYasha collection :))
