Alright, let me start off by saying:

I bought this DVD set from Best Buy, and paid... I think 95.00 for it. BUT.. i thought it was because it came with "Miroku's Prayer Beads" A little re-creation of the beads Miroku wears around his right arm. They were fun to play with, and if I bought them, I would have paid 12.00 for them... so all in all, i didn't feel too jipped by the price of this season.

Anywhoo.. I saw a lot of negative complaints about this season, and here are my thoughts:

Yes, this Set contains about 18 episodes or so. This was the biggest dissapointment to me BECAUSE.. the bulk of the episodes were really light-hearted and silly. In most of the seasons i feel i HAVE to watch episode after episode because they end so abruptly, in the middle of a fight. These episodes stand alone very well, and there were no Naraku heavy episodes (since he was in hiding). The reason this is my favorite season is because of that. I wish it was a longer season, but im glad that the episodes weren't all linked together to the point where you have to keep watching and watching.

Long story short:

- If you wanted a LOT of episodes for your money, you will be dissapointed.
- If you like episodes that are more up-beat, cute/silly, or back in the "present" time, this is a great set for you!

I love my prayer beads though... i've not seen any others for sale, so im wondering why I got some on my Season 4 set o_o; Maybe it was Viz's way of making up for the lack of episodes, lol!

Excellent continuation of the Cartoon Network version of InuYasha, but this is a short season (18 episodes not 27 or so).

After reading a lot of the reviews people complain about how the season was short and it was mainly fillers. Well, they're right. But, look at the storyline so far. Naraku had dissapeared. They make the season all fillers because the creators wanted to show how much time is passing that Naraku had dissapeared. It gives our heroes some time to rest and provides time for some more InuYasha and Kagome moments. I thought this was one of thier best seasons and a good way to make an easy transition into The Band of Seven episodes. This whole season is just a way to measure time. So, stop complaining that the season is just all fillers. It's supposed to be that way.

This season i order was to fill a slot for the show, couldn't find it anywhere in the place i live, got a band new copy here and it was exactly the way they said it was and the shipping was on time. Glad things worked out so well more so sense it was cheaper then they normaly are also

it is a good show, very interesting, but as far as seasons go, this is a very short season, and it is mostly focused on building the stories of the supporting characters and not the main plot. This season was kind of dissapointing for that fact, cannot wait for the next season so the story may get back on track

My youngest niece introduced my middle niece to this series. They both liked it so well that we decided to purchase the full series for each of them. They like them because they are fans of the show. I like the fact that the cost is fairly reasonable and the quality is very good.

I love the InuYasha story, and have been addicted to the other seasons, but this was a total disappointment.

The problems
1. It is twice as expensive as the other seasons
2. It is short, only 18 or so episodes
3. It is all fillers
4. They really don't even seem like good fillers- I didn't learn any more about the characters
5. There is nothing in the fillers that even really relates to the main plot- Everything that is "new" in this entire season is revealed in the first minute of season 5.

So... if you have plenty of money and time to just be occupied, there's nothing wrong with this.
But for twice the price, just buy season 5 & 6 and use the money and time you would have wasted to do something more enjoyable- you won't miss anything from the story.

Of course, I would have bought it anyway, even if someone had warned me about how lame this season is... but I probably would have bought a used version to save on the cost. If it had cost half as much as the other seasons and not more, I would not have felt so disappointed.

This was the only season of Inu Yasha That apparently didn't have anything episodes of Naraku but more with seemingly filler episodes of the groups quest to find Naraku after his disappearance. Don't let that discourage you though the episodes are still entertaining to watch as you see Inu yasha and the gang try and find clues on Naraku's whereabouts and during their travels confront demons no longer afraid to show themselves since Naraku isn't around to absorb or destroy them, also you'll have the usual minor villains around trying to do their own vile plans that the hero's must defeat. The animation is clean and clear with no complaints and as always the voice actors/actresses for both the Japanese and English cast did great, the only thing I can find some fault in is the price I got this when it was on sale at a lower price and since I already had two dvds of the season I felt that it was a pretty good deal instead of buying the rest of the season one dvd at a time. Some friends and people have asked is there a difference in video quality or audio with these box sets than the single dvds they've already bought?, and for that I would say no the video and audio are pretty much the same except that as expected the dvds of the box sets have more episodes on their dvds than the single dvds you separately. So if you've already got this season on dvd than pass this set over there won't be much difference and it will just be a waste of money, but if you've only bought one or two dvds or haven't gotten this season at all yet than of course get it and while you won't see Naraku the enjoyment of the episodes will more than make up for it...

Okay. First this series is certainly not worth $100 or even close to it, so try to get it 50% off at least. I am a HUGE fan of the series and especially of Sesshomaru. These episodes are still good even with being filler episodes. Jeesh people. Yes they are fillers, but where is the problem with that? Is more episodes of Inuyasha that bad? Not for me. I absolutely love it. The producers of the Inuyasha series simply started early and caught up too fast with Inuyasha's creator Rumiko Takahashi. So, they had to do some improvising and instead of waiting for her to get further enough along, they created fillers. This is the same thing that happened with season 7, but they decided not to make another season full of fillers, so they dropped it. Now, answer me this: Would you have preferred them to drop it after Season 3. I certainly wouldn't and I really wished that they would have gone ahead and made another season after 7 of fillers instead of dropping it. Besides, this isn't a bad season IF you like the show. Believe me this is a good season. I love Jaken Falls Ill. It is so funny. Take it from me. It is worth the buy, but not for full price. Inuyasha - Season 4 Box Set
