14:
Chaos is brought upon Kaede's village as a demoness named Urasue raids Kikyo's grave for her ashes & creates a "puppet" of her, but first she must get Kikyo's soul out of Kagome's body.

15:

5.0 out of 5 stars "New Moon" is definately a Keeper!, May 5, 2003

By

This review is from: Inuyasha - Secret of the New Moon (Vol. 5) (DVD)

Inuyasha is an amazing series. The story is addictive, the characters engaging and the quality of the animation and soundtrack is one of the best in production animation. This series is technically on the par with feature anime films.

VIZ/ShoPro does a great job bringing the series to DVD. The product is excellent; menu screens are beautifully executed with and easy to navigate. The anime itself is crisp, colorful and the sound clear. You'll also like the bonus line art and bi-lingual cast lists which correspond to each released episode.

The NA voice cast is nearly as well-matched to their characters as the original Japanese cast. But, if you don't like dubs, the subtitles are very well done. No muddled "Engrish", and very close to original manga dialog so far! (Listening, Taiwan?)

I'd recommend this series to anyone who appreciates beautiful animation, a rousing adventure story, romance, or just a good, old fashion anime "rice opera"! I'm looking forward to the next two scheduled releases this summer. Hope you'll do the same.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have for Inu Yasha Fans, March 29, 2003

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Inuyasha - Secret of the New Moon (Vol. 5) (DVD)

The secret of the new moon is this: Inu Yasha becomes fully human during the night of a full moon--one full night without his youkai enhanced senses, incredible strength and agility, and rapid healing. One night of vulnerability a month normally wouldn't be so bad, but this is the night Inu Yasha and company find themselves stranded in a land infested with spider-headed demons.

In addition to the pitched supernatural battles Inu Yasha fans have come to know and love, there are some rare moments of tenderness between Kagome and the mortally wounded Inu Yasha. In short, if you are an Inu Yasha fan or are wondering why you should be, don't miss this DVD!

The Inu Yasha series features moderate violence and occultic/horrific themes based in Japanese mythology which are probably too intense for small children. I would therefore recommend this for viewers ages 13 and up.
