Movie Reviews of Inuyasha Season 5Movie Review: My favorite season so far! Summary: 5 Stars
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.
