Movie Reviews of Inuyasha - Season 2

Movie Review: Good episodes, not much in special features
Summary: 3 Stars

This five-disc DVD set contains the twenty-seven episodes that made up Inuyasha's second season. The first three discs have five episodes, the fourth disc has six episodes, and the last disc has six episodes and the special features.

The first special feature on the disc is an "Inuyasha Super Special," and it recaps the major events that took place during the first season. I assume this aired in Japan before the start of the second season. There are also "Character Introductions" (this is a lot like the character relationship guide that appeared on the box set for the first season, but this time, this only includes the characters introduced in the second season).

In the special features menu is the movie trailer for Inuyasha the Movie: The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass. However, this trailer is also part of the trailers that appear at the beginning of each disc, so I don't understand why it was also included in the special features menu. There are also textless versions of the new opening and closing credits (personally, I think the opening song for the second season is weaker than the opening song from the first season).

I thought the episodes that appear on this set really advanced the characters from where they were at the end of the first season (especially Inuyasha). This set is definitely worth it for the episodes alone if you're an Inuyasha fan.

Summary of Inuyasha - Season 2

Hearts and swords are the focus of the second season of Inu-Yasha, Rumiko Takahashi's popular "feudal fairy tale." Inu-Yasha's icily elegant half-brother Sesshomaru discovers that the sword their demon father left him, the Tenseiga, is useless to him in battle. It doesn't kill, but heals--an imaginative twist typical of Takahashi. Inu-Yasha has to learn to master his sword, the Tetsusaiga, that was forged from his father's fang. When the monster Goshinki bites the Tetsusaiga in two, the addled smith Totosai reforges it, using a fang of Inu-Yasha's to join the shards. Inu-Yasha must learn to wield the newly heavy sword that reflects his increased responsibility: his father is no longer protecting him, so he must use his own strength.

Inu-Yasha also faces two powerful internal struggles. He begins to question his desire to become a full demon after he transforms into a mindless killing machine. The Tetsusaiga keeps his demon-blood in check, and Inu-Yasha is grateful for its strength. But he has no exterior support in the battle within his heart: Does he love the resurrected Kikyo, whom he adored 50 years earlier, or Kagome, who has shared so many adventures and who loves him? These struggles demand more than the battles with the evil Naraku and his avatars.

The adventures, emotional crises, and ferocious battles are balanced against the friendship and slapstick comedy Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo provide. Through it all, Inu-Yasha remains the impulsive hot-head viewers love--whom only Kagome can keep in check. (Unrated, suitable for ages 13 and older: violence, grotesque imagery, brief nudity)

Fans of this popular series will also want to see The Art of Inu-Yasha by Rumiko Takahashi, which features original artwork, notes on minor characters, a glossary, and interviews with the principal Japanese voice actors, director Masashi Ikeda, character designer Yoshihito Hishinuma, and art direrctor Shigemi Ikeda.Takahashi also discusses the differences in the manga and the animated versions of two key sequences. --Charles Solomon


Inuyasha and Kagome's journey continues as they search for the fragments of the Shikon Jewel along with their friends Miroku, Shippo, Sango and Kirara. But, the task is not made easy when Naraku keep coming at them with scheming new traps to keep them from getting the jewel shards. From adventures to battles to sibling rivalry, journey through the quest against demons in this second season of Inuyasha.
