5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite season so far!, January 4, 2009

By 

Bilbo Baggins "mighty hobbit" (Land of Dwarves and Hobbits) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Inuyasha Season 5 (DVD)

I had watched episodes of Inuyasha before but it was the episodes on this box set that made me a fan(well, technically it was the manga volumes with the band of seven but that's just splitting hairs) The band of seven episodes are the first real epic storyline in the series (other than the large over arching goal to find the jewel shards of course) previously storylines were somewhat episodic, a two parter here and a three or sometimes four episode mini epic like when Inuyasha fought Sesshomaru for the first time. But this is a big epic saga of 20+ episodes all neatly tied together with the best villains Inuyasha has crossed blades with (not counting Sesshomaru, he really isn't much of a villain anymore anyway more of a dark counterpart to inuyasha)

Anywho, as I noted the band of seven is pretty cool. I could make the point that they symbolize the seven deadly sins but then I would have to actually name the sins. At any rate each of the band has a unique and distinct personality from the gluttonous Kyokotsu, the malignant Mukotsu and his poison, the split personality of Suikotsu and the mechanical nature of Ginkotsu.

Of course my favorites are the ones that take the longest to kill. Jakotsu, a character so effeminate he makes Sesshomaru look like Chuck Norris, steals almost every scene he is in what with his overly sexual ways of threatening Inuyasha. Probably the funniest stuff i've seen in this season is when Jakotsu asks Kohaku if Inuyasha is handsome. Kohaku, somewhat confused prefers not to opine. Still, though, my favorite has to be Renkotsu. Every time he is on screen he is working some angle to seize power and usurp Bankotsu. His tricks and traps are many throughout the season. I like him because he uses his brains(as well as some fancy by medievel standards technology) to kill his opponents. Smart villains are always so much funner than dumb ones.

Bankotsu the leader is a cool dude but over he seems too similar to one of the thunder brothers in season one. Of course, you cant look down on a guy with a sword even bigger than Inuyasha's and especially not after the two duke it out in one of the best fight's in the series.

Anyway, I enjoyed this season very much. How much? I actually plunked down the ridiculous amount of money Amazon is asking for this thing instead of waiting for it to go on sale. I picked up season 4 and 6 at Wal wart for 35 and 30 bucks respectvally. But I just couldn't wait. I'm an Inuyasha lovin' fool.

4.0 out of 5 stars This set covers the Band of Seven story arc, January 13, 2009

By

This review is from: Inuyasha Season 5 (DVD)

The Inuyasha Fifth Season Box Set includes five DVDs, which contain the twenty-seven episodes that make up the fifth season of the anime. The first three discs contain five episodes, the fourth disc contains six episodes, and the fifth disc includes six episodes and the special features.

Disc five contains two special features. The first feature is labeled as, "Inuyasha Special Footage." This piece runs for eleven minutes, and it basically explains who the characters are, as well as some of the concepts that appear in the anime series. Most of the footage seems to concentrate on the second season, although there is one shot from the third season. The piece ends with a lead-in to the fifth season. I would assume this piece was produced to promote the fifth season of Inuyasha, even though it hardly used anything from season three, and completely ignored season four. The only other special feature on the disc is "Textless Ending." This includes the textless versions of both of the ending credits that appear on this box set. The two endings have been put back-to-back as one piece.

This season of Inuyasha advances the story much more than season four did. However, when you watch season five, you discover that one of the episodes of season four is actually very crucial to what happens in season five. This season also sees some major character development for Inuyasha, especially the final two episodes in this DVD box set. The fifth season also introduced the story arc with the Band of Seven. This was a decent story arc, which ultimately leads up to the return of Naraku. However, the final few episodes in the arc felt like they were being stretched out to make the story arc last longer.

If you're a fan of Inuyasha and want to have all the episodes on DVD, then you need to acquire this set.
