5.0 out of 5 stars Band of Seven are worthy enemies during Naraku's absence, October 28, 2005

Ren (Blast) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Inuyasha, Vol. 35 - The Band of Seven (DVD)

Around this particular time, people have gotten tired of the search for Naraku and all the jewel shards. So luckily, this season takes a whole new turn with the Band of Seven.

Inuyasha and the gang find themselves meeting up with 3 of the BOS members in this DVD. Personally, I think Jakotsu is one of the coolest homosexual type bishonen since Sailor Moon's Fisheye and Fushigi Yuugi's Nuriko. His first apperance brought so much spark and energy, and not to mention he's quite a cutie. Anyway ^o^ Like all newcomer Inuyasha baddies, they steal the show with their unique powers.

However, two worthless Band of Seven members die before we can even hear about their legend as one whole team. I guess it's mostly about Renkotsu, Jakotsu and Bankotsu from what I seen.

Though I miss Kagura most of the time(she's my favorite) and her little ghost ankle-biter (Kanna of course) by her side, saying something adorible.

After watching it all on fansub and Adult Swim, you Inuyasha fanatics that haven't seen the Band of Seven in action yet, better glue your eyes to the screen Especially when Jakotsu is on <3 It's good to see the series in a whole new light(like the movies) compared to every previous episode of Naraku tag.

Kagura-sama's #1 fan ^o^

Now here's a review for every single episode of Inu Yasha that I have seen.. YES THAT'S RIGHT ALL OF THEM.

Comments: Well I never had to give any episode an F, I gave one D but I guess one really bad episode out of over 150 good ones aint that bad. I would also like to regard my ratings on eps. 57 and 58. If they had followed the manga on what had happened I would have given the eps. both an A+, but since they were edited from the material in the manga it wasn't as good. For those of you that only follow the TV seires and not the manga the episodes with togenkyo in the manga showed cannibalism in some graphic detail and it was much more violent so they switched the story around for the TV show version for content. In fact those episodes were originally not going to be made because if they had followed the comic they would have appeared right before sango and Kohaku were introduced to the series. Unlike in america Inu Yasha is shown at 7:00 at night in japan, a prime time spot so they didn't want something to violent on TV at that time. The same goes for ep.11, it was cut for content, I also would have given that ep. an A or A+ if they had followed the original content. I would also like to coment on ep. 153, I gave it an A+++ rating, it probably is the best episode. I mean it's really really good the animation was unbelievable and it was incredibly well directed.

The Band of Seven, Resurrected!: I really really loved this episode. It had beautiful visuals and introduced one of my favorite Inu yasha chracters, Jankotsu. I'm very pleased to see that they haven't changed Jankotsu in any way for the dubbed version ( fans, you know what im talking about *hee hee*). Grade: A+

The Stealthy Poison Master: Mukotsu!: I liked this ep. it had good animation and lot's of suspense.

Grade: B+

The Ghastly Steel Machine: This was another great ep. Once again filled with lots of suspense and action.

Grade:B+

This is a great disc, if you are an Inu yasha fan get it!!!!
