>it's a "Kagome brings the plot to a screeching halt because she's mad at Inuyasha and runs home to mom" episodePlease stop
>>288757791It works on my machine, bro.
>>288757791I recall no such episodes. Wtf is even a Kagome?
>>288758048>I recall no such episodesOne of them ends with Kagome seeing Inuyasha hugging Kikyou and Kagome returning to her time.
>>288757791The modern day eps were a good break, I liked that Kagome had 3 other friends who were like her. It was also cute seeing Inuyasha pop in and get treated like he's already married to her by their family.
>>288758048>Wtf is even a Kagome?lmao cope & seethe. Your claypot emo corpse could never make best girl.
>>288757791i wondered for decades since i first seen this shitwhat the hell happened to all demons in modern times in lore? especially the immortal ones like sesshomom did anyone involved in making it ever explained?
>>288758048>actually, unironically liking KikyoI can't even laugh at you. I just feel.. pity.
>>288758633>what the hell happened to all demons in modern times in lore?The Yashahime manga implies Urusei Yatsura is secretly a low-key sequel to Inuyasha and they all got ethnically cleansed into space to become the aliens.
>>288757791imagine watching inuyasha for plot
>>288758700I... I can't tell if you're trolling or not.
>>288757791Reminder that this was also the episode where her ungrateful slut ass was also intentionally leading Koga on and she blew up on Inuyasha for daring to get jealous and insecure that she wouldn’t put her foot down with her orbiter.
>>288758048>melonballed whore that nobody remembers.
>>288758759>whoreShe never flirts with anyone and was eternally faithful to Inuyasha unlike Slutgome.
>>288758877>wanders around every single night looking for sperm.
>>288757791>it's a kagome brings inuyasha to the present episodeKino
>>288758877>never flirts with anyone>faithful to inuyashawhat about the cripple in her sex cave that she "took care" of?
>>288757791Its her moms fault for never whipping her ass into behaving
>>288757791Sunrise doesn't get enough shit for their disastrous mischaracterizations and changes.
>>288759101>Sunrise doesn't get enough shit for their disastrous mischaracterizations and changes.…But this was in the manga too?
>>288758633There are still demons in modern times, like the flesh mask and that one that takes the souls of children to the underworld. I assume they are less present because of modernization and people moving away from nature and old beliefs, and the more human looking ones could integrate into society
>>288758633I always assumed they got killed off or bred out, with some exceptions.
>>288759264Also something I just remembered. It's stated that the reason demons are everywhere in the Sengoku era is because of the constant wars and suffering.
>>288757791The entire story is just one big woman moment desu
>>288758756>>288757791You know, why in the fuck Takahashi was thinking when she kept writing the same shitty unfunny FORCED dynamic of making the female lead / "love interest" being an obnoxious cunt that you can't like at all, and tragically EVERYBODY was forced to copy all through the late 80s, all of the 90s and mid 2000s, even haven Hiroyuki Takei make it even worse with characters like Ana, but as long as you make the male characters pervs or not simps, they take all the abuse and blame for everything because that is totally not forced or farcical right?Didn't Rumiko related that it ONLY WORKED ONCE AND EVER ONCE with Ataru because he was a legit sex pest selfish douchebag? and Lum was a self serving possessive girl who just wanted a trophy boyfriend to brag about?Every single time she tried the same dynamic with Godai, Inuyasha and even Ranma it never worked, sure Ranma wasn't an angel, but who wouldn't be a jerk when his life it's a living hell made worse by your asshole conman parent who is willing to sell you to save his ass and a violent stupid irrational cunt who funny enough was supposed to be the authors self insert, and even tough Ranma is nowhere near of a bad person as the rest of the cast, he is the only one who mades sense as to why he is the way he is.
>>288759210People say the Ranma anime did this too but Rumiko mangas were are all like that up until she got on a leash by her current editors who actually don't fear her feminist bullshit, (and I didn't say that as a 'see guys, eh eh?" Kind of thing).
>500 episode anime with 120 movies and 300 ova specials>without filler the main plot is 43 minutes long
>>288758877AHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA Kikyo cucked Inuyasha with Naraku, tf u talkin bout?
>>288759554>and tragically EVERYBODY was forced to copy all through the late 80s, all of the 90s and mid 2000sAnd also 2020s, a reminder authors like the abyss boy and the kanokari author have admitted to be heavily inspired by Rumiko's works.
>>288759954>>288759062>Naraku/OnigumoExcept Kikyo was never unfaithful with him the way Kagome was with Koga and Hojo, when he was Onigumo all she did was simply try to nurse him back to health out of the goodness of her own heart and it was Onigumo who took it the wrong way cause he was an incel. Then as Naraku she only gave him the shards cause it was all part of her secret plan to purify him along with the Jewel and send them both to hell.
>>288759954Naraku was an incel.
>>288759364>all (canon) hanyou are the products of a demon man x human woman>never the other way around What did Rumiko mean by this?
>>288760177>nurse himyeah, nursing handies
>>288757791at least akane got a certain tsundere tomboy charm. kagome is just a bitch with no personality at all, save her bitching. abysmal character even as a self-insert.
>>288760421>at least akane got a certain tsundere tomboy charm. kagome is just a bitch with no personality at all, save her bitching. But Kagome is a tsundere as well, just without the tomboy aspect.
>>288759682Inuyasha Kai when
>>288760305humans can't compete>>288760421kinda tough to distinguish kagome from kikyo when she's a reincarnation, but despite being young, she is actually responsible and has an empathetic mind when her emotions dont get in the way.
>The villain shows up>Don't worry, nothing Miroku's black hole couldn't handle. >Oh no the bees! Not the bees! Inuyasha, take over!
>>288759210Sunrise would literally change scenes of Inuyasha and Kagome bonding/comforting each other to have them bicker. One example is after Inuyasha saves Kagome from Kohaku, which went from him apologizing for not being there sooner to them fighting over Inuyasha wanting to see Kagome's injury
>>288758048How does one like Kikyo? What, you want to get killed by her?
>>288758729They are, the Yashahime manga has a brief Urusei Yatsura cameo but nothing else. If anything, the Yashahime manga implies it and MAO share a universe since Miroku gets some medicine from Otoya and Mao.
Remember to check out the Mao anime airing right nowIt's like Inuyasha with less bickering and cats instead of dogs
>>288761443do you not?
>>288758756>the episode where her ungrateful slut ass was also intentionally leading Koga onShe did no such thing. She rejected Koga's advances and told him the one she loves is Inuyasha and she reassured Inuyasha that she has no feelings for Koga. What more can you ask of her?>and she blew up on Inuyasha for daring to get jealous and insecureShe didn't blow up at Inuyasha for being jealous. She tried to reassure him. She blew up at him because in response to her reassurance, he told her he doesn't give a shit about her feelings then still had the gall to keep prying about Koga after she already told him nothing happened. And this is coming from the same guy who doesn't realize the way he acts leaves Kagome hurt and confused because it can be interpreted as leading her on while chasing after his ex Kikyo.>she wouldn’t put her foot down with her orbiterYou mean she wouldn't let Inuyasha kill him.
>>288757791>>288758756>>288759554>magical bloodline hero is compelled to chase after unlikeable plain girl (who is overshadowed by literally ever other female character in the cast) because she is the chosen one because the plot says so" once you look past the battle filler, how did you guys not realize that this show was for girls and drop it after six episodes? same thing as escaflowne
All of the apologia in this thread is terrible, the truth of the matter is that Rumiko Takahashi's has the same skills as writing romance as Akira Toriyama had.........They sucked at it.
>>288759554>Didn't Rumiko related that it ONLY WORKED ONCE AND EVER ONCE with Ataru because he was a legit sex pest selfish douchebag?Inuyasha is more unmannerly than Ataru.>Ranma wasn't an angel, but who wouldn't be a jerk when his life it's a living hell made worse by your asshole conman parent who is willing to sell you to save his ass and a violent stupid irrational cunt who funny enough was supposed to be the authors self insert, and even tough Ranma is nowhere near of a bad person as the rest of the cast, he is the only one who mades sense as to why he is the way he is.Ranma is a comedy where everyone is a bad person and humor is derived from the hijinks that ensue from all of the schemes driven by each of their selfish motives.
>>288762041>Ranma is a comedy where everyone is a bad person and humor is derived from the hijinks that ensue from all of the schemes driven by each of their selfish motivesExcept Akane of course because she is literally Rumiko Takahashi and the world literally run around her, plus she rarely gets deflated.
>>288762041>Inuyasha is more unmannerly than AtaruCome on, Ataru's the most unmannerly and cancellable protagonist from the rumic world. His stitch is being a public danger to society.
>>288760305I see you Fujoschizo, go back to tumblr
>>288761576>It's like Inuyasha with less bickering and cats instead of dogsIt's also like Inuyasha except with all the cool elements and interesting characters removed.
>>288759954>Kikyo cucked Inuyasha with NarakuNaraku was literally an incel who schizo'd out that the beautiful shrine maiden chose a dog over him so he murdered them both.
>>288759554Ataru never wanted Lum because he had Shinobu
>>288763306And he was a shitty boyfriend, and shininu oddly enough hated him but still wanted to kept him for self validation.
>>288763449He wasn’t even that bad at until Lum showed up
>>288758048This is brilliant, but 𝙄 like 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨.
>>288762768Bro it's the first season. The first twelve episodes of Inuyasha were pretty slow too.
>>288763449The point is that Lum is Ataru's karma, and he hates her for that. A hot figure, but a rotten and spiteful core. A short tempered, stubborn, impulsive and self centered oni is fit for an equally impulsive, stubborn, chaotic and self centered human abortion with an addiction for the chase.
>>288763524>He wasn’t even that bad atHe was already a shit boyfriend before Lum showed up tho. He was already skirt chasing in front of Shinobu.
>>288758588Whose her mom again?
>>288758633Kek. That line is pretty much stolen from Conan the Barbarian
>>288763306>Ataru never wanted Lum because he had ShinobuKeep telling yourself that Rumiko.
>>288763556Rumiko…
>>288764011He was trying to fuck Shinobu even after Lum was sleeping in his house so why are you delusional?
>>288764025>>288764011Lukm almost NEVER gets deflated or humiliated in a way when she ends up as a buffoon, and NO, getting sexually harassed as a gag does not count, even Bulma got humiliated early on in Dragonball.
>>288764277>Lum almost NEVER gets deflated or humiliated in a way when she ends up as a buffoonHer punishment is ending up with a perverted womanizer who will NEVER be faithful to her, Ataru actually wasn’t so bad back when Shinobu was still the heroine, he was more just really unlucky rather than massively lecherous. It’s only when Rumiko was forced to replace Shinobu with Lum that she turned into Ataru into a skirt-chaser just to punish Lum for daring to upstage her self-insert and steal away her main girl status.
>>288763526Sorry sir but Sesshomaru is for best girl.
>>288761521>the Yashahime manga implies it and MAO share a universe since Miroku gets some medicine from Otoya and Mao.The seems less like an implication and more like an overt confirmation.
>>288762685>I see you Fujoschizo? is this because I said “(canon) hanyou” in my original post you’re quoting? No I’m not here, I wasn’t referring to Towa and Setsuna there but rather that one Bull hanyou from an anime filler episode that was the one time we ever got a half-demon from a human father x demon mother combination. They’re not canon though cause they were exclusive to the anime and never in the manga, to date Rumiko has never made a hanyou that’s the product of a demon mother and I just wonder why that is?
>>288764519>The seems less like an implication and more like an overt confirmation.To be fair all it actually is was Otoya making an appearance and Miroku saying ‘thank you, give my regards to your master.’So it’s arguably just a cameo too. But unlike the other cameos in that manga, it’s one that does actually have some narrative weight behind it, since Miroku needed someone with experience in healing demons to nurse Jaken back to health (so he could interrogate him).
>>288764519>>288764554The scene in question:
>>288761802>She did no such thing. She rejected Koga's advances and told him the one she loves is Inuyasha and she reassured Inuyasha that she has no feelings for Koga. What more can you ask of her?She also helped Koga with the Jewel Shards over Inuyasha even though Inuyasha was right there.>She didn't blow up at Inuyasha for being jealous. She tried to reassure him. She blew up at him because in response to her reassurance, he told her he doesn't give a shit about her feelings then still had the gall to keep prying about Koga after she already told him nothing happened.And why should he believe her considering he just witnessed her helping the guy who literally KIDNAPPED her over him? He had every right to pry further considering what he just saw and she had no right to so easily dismiss and even get angry at his insecurities when he’s always been patient with her’s.>And this is coming from the same guy who doesn't realize the way he acts leaves Kagome hurt and confused because it can be interpreted as leading her on while chasing after his ex Kikyo.Yeah the same guy who never blows up at Kagome the same way whenever she gets insecure but has to be forced to take her jealous sits like a little bitch? Double standards much?>You mean she wouldn't let Inuyasha kill himThe guy who just kidnapped Kagome, forced his affections on her, and just got done mauling an entire human village and killing Rin? At that point in the story why shouldn’t Inuyasha want to kill him? The real question is why was Kagome defending a guy who just committed all those horrible acts?
>It's another the Wind Tunnel would solve all our problems but that asshole threw bees at us episode
>>288761937>hating Rumic romanceShit taste desu, she unironically writes the best and most entertaining ships in the entire anime & manga industry and it’s not even particularly close.
>>288761804Yeah it's a shoujo masquerading as a shounen. A lot of series do this kind of shit. Witch hat atelier which is airing now is another one. It's strange with Rumiko though because Ranma and Urusei Yatsura don't feel like shoujo at all
>>288763526>>288764470>meanwhile in canon land
>>288762768>interesting characters removedLike who? The guy who jobs to bees every episode? The boomerang jobber? The cucked mud doll? The shitty wolf man? Byouki is already more interesting than Naraku btw
>>288764732>Yeah it's a shoujo masquerading as a shounen.No, it’s a JRPG masquerading as a shonen and you out yourself as a /v/newfag if you mistake common JRPG tropes with fucking shoujo.If you wanna see what a real shoujo version of Inuyasha looks like read Fushigi Yugi or Yona of The Dawn, or Kamisama Kiss for a non-isekai version. Inuyasha is shonen through and through, it’s just a JRPG version of shonen rather than regular battle shonen and JRPGs are notorious for having their romances front and center.
>>288764412Which was for the best. Ataru after he became unhinged was phenomenal, him being an unrepentant dick is the best part about the series. I'm honestly surprised they gave it a remake, even if they did make him somewhat tamer
>>288764759>canonBut Rumiko didn’t write Yashahime and said she prefers Sesshomaru as Rin’s guardian. Meanwhile she did say in an interview that Kikyo is Sesshomaru’s ideal type of woman.
>>288764819Kikyo died albeitmeanwhile Sesshomaru continues visiting Rin and giving her gifts as she's getting older and prettieranyone who wasn't kidding themselves already knew what was going to happen without the canon sequel confirming it
>>288764872>anyone who wasn't kidding themselves already knew what was going to happen without the canon sequel confirming itThat didn’t stop the melties from all the roasties and fujos across Tumblr and X once it was confirmed.
>>288757791>It's another Naruku creates a fake castle episode
>>288764899yup lots of delusional fans of this series unfortunately. like that one fag who thought Sesshoumaru was gay with his father. can you imagine being such an embarrassing retard?
>>288761804Escaflowne was peak.
>>288757791Those are the best episodes though.
>>288764929>like that one fag who thought Sesshoumaru was gay with his father. can you imagine being such an embarrassing retard?Eh to be fair it is frequently joked across the fandom that Sesshomaru has severe daddy issues, and he is a fairly effeminate pretty boy so I can why the fujos would latch onto him and the idea. Now the one ship that really makes no sense that I never got is Sesshomaru/Kagome, apparently it’s actually the biggest IY ship in the entire western fandom and more popular than even Inuyasha/Kagome judging from fanfiction statistics? They even have their own website known as Dokuga.
>>288764683>>288761071>Author writes a character too strong to be a main party member>Has to make sure every major villain is guarded by the plot bees for the rest of the series.Genuinely why did she not just have someone cut his arm off halfway through the story?
>>288765014>Genuinely why did she not just have someone cut his arm off halfway through the story?It was Rumiko’s first attempt at writing a serious battle shonen and she wasn’t very experienced, please understand.
>>288764982it's a complete crackship with no basis in canon but I also completely understand it. Kagome is an obvious self-insert for girls and Sesshoumaru is much more like a typical shoujo love interest. in fact I'd bet shoujo for years after were made with those characters in mind.
>>288759554Imagine getting angry at a chihuahua barking at you. It's just funny. For the most part, guys have had zero reason to take women's anger seriously before they were in a relationship with them. After the relationship yeah they may withhold affection or sex or whatever, sure.So, you had a few possible formulas.Spirited male x Spirited female: Ranma 1/2, Urusei Yatsura, Inuyasha, many tsundere anime. Timid Male x Spirited Female: certain comedies but then yandere tropes fit well here.Timid Male x Timid Female (generic slice of life comfy slow stuff)Spirited Male x Timid Female: This is the old adventurer shows of the past, the damsel in distress, or the girl waiting for the guy to do his adventure. Scryed.The thing is, the spirited x spirited allowed for both combative humor, touching elements, basically everything. They had spirit, and spirit is infectious. This is why people liked Asuka more than Rei.
>>288765054>Kagome is an obvious self-insert for girls So why not use Rin at that point which is actually canon? Is it because rosaties are threatened by prime cunny?
>>288764412Who forced her to replace Shinobu? Her editor? Was it because Lum was pretty girl in bikini?
>>288764982>apparently it’s actually the biggest IY ship in the entire western fandomThe only thing women love more than a questionably abusive relationship is a man who completely ignores her.>>288765014Someone tried to do that but the bees got in his way. Also this gives me the excuse to post this.Also keep in mind he tries to almost never use it (outside of the introduction / Naraku moments) because every use increases its opening until he can't keep it closed anymore and it swallows him and kills him like his father. I'm more surprised why he never seriously tried to level up his spiritual power given the entire demon thing going on. Kagome can infuse spiritual power into her bow, you're telling me he saw her do that and never wanted to try to mimic it in some way?
>>288765222>Who forced her to replace Shinobu? Her editor? Yep.
>>288765222No one. She brought back Lum as a recurring character in chapter 3 because she ran out of ideas and as the story went on, she felt Lum fit the role as the main heroine more.
>>288765109>Spirited Male x Timid Femaleacting like this isn't most shoujo slop
>>288764802Hi Rumiko, I tought you would like the money the DEI investors gave you for your shitty remakes deranged.
>>288758633Princess Mononoke answers this question. It's basically because industrialization disconnected humans from the spiritual. Not all demons are gone though, they just operate secretly. Just pay attention to world events and learn history.
>>288764709>Contrarian mod time
>>288765109>Spirited male x Spirited female: Ranma 1/2, Urusei Yatsura, Inuyasha, many tsundere anime.>Timid Male x Spirited Female: certain comedies but then yandere tropes fit well here.Timid Male x Spirited Female is also tsundere, just the shitty kind where you have a beta herbivore harem protag self-insert that is a doormat and never stands up for himself even while the bitchy tsundere girl keeps beating him up or accusing him of being a pervert. Rumic ships work because she usually makes both of the parties tsundere, so it doesn’t come off as so one-sided.>The thing is, the spirited x spirited allowed for both combative humor, touching elements, basically everything. They had spirit, and spirit is infectious.And that’s exactly why Rumiko’s double tsundere romance is the best romance writing in the entire genre and no other mangaka could ever compete because they make all their ships as stale and bland as saltine crackers
>>288758633As the Age of Gods end, all Mystics eventually end up in Gensokyo.
>>288765322Touche. I never watch shoujo outside of villainous isekai so it genuinely slipped my mind.I assume the person I was replying to is similar, unless you mean to tell me all 80s/90s shoujo was like Inuyasha in which case fuck I'm missing out.
>>288765382There's definitely a bit of a softness needed.One of my favorite couples is Saito x Louise, and Saito's lesser degree of energy (comparatively) allows Louise's to shine through. Were he like Ataru or Ranma it would still be a good dynamic just not really be able to explore her part as much.
>>288764732Urusei Yatsura was a jerkass comedy ALA Dr. slump, Ranma was also a jerkass comedy that mocked shonnen tropes too, mostly because they included martial arts fights that involve "anything goes mentality" and the biggest running gag early on was that all the build up secret dangerous teqniques, were really some hackjob stupid silly thing used as weapons or conman Looney tunes logic tricks, pulling giant mazes out of nowhere being one of them for the girls beating up the guys or Kodachi trying to kill Akame being the one example I recall, Happosai's technique, the Happo Dai Karin was build up to be some sort of explosion teqnique that seemed straight out of Saint Seiya, and the punchline was that it was just hand made Molotov ball bombs that can backfire on Happy, the joke is that all of the martial artists were just farsants, then later when the editors forced Rumiko to add actual real powerful beam or ki teqniques she pulled a cynical comedy spin on them, like Ranma's giant dragon attack being pulled not based on Rage or strength, but frustration caused by Ryoga (and Akane as well).The problem with Ranma was the 'romance", one of the worst and most tedious, it's like it developed insecurity issues with itself and wanted to do drama for real but those moments were their worst cause it pretended that Akane was likable or that wanted us to like her because once again, Takahashi's insert......
>>288765485>The problem with Ranma was the 'romance"That is the case with most shounen. Especially long running ones.
>>288758633I always thought it was an alternate world when I got older, because no way in hell characters like Sesshomaru died off, not even of old age to modern weaponry, and even the latter I could sort of see but Japan never had weapons like that.Unless you wanna bullshit that the atomic bomb wiped them out, now THAT I can believe.
>>288765556It's a common-ish narrative element in a lot of fantasy themed stories that supernatural entities' powers are sort of rooted in human beliefs. As humans become more secular/ science progress, these entities get weaker/ forgotten and slowly cease to exist. Yomi no Tsugai anime which is airing now also has similar themes. Discworld series had Small Gods, which was about this very thing. Then of course you have the entire basis for Touhou.

>>288758588>Your claypot emo corpse.Lol, why did everyone in the show forget she was a soul stealer.... to prolong her state of undeath she was eating people's souls... It's mentioned at first, but then no one said shit about it and she's around for the majority of the series in one form or another.

>>288765787>AI slopIt doesn’t even give Moroha the same eye color as her mom lmao.
This song + ferris wheel is perhaps solely responsible for turning me into a massive fucking weebhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBBpD1w1RoU
Kagome was better
>>288757791I sincerely hope that whenever Rumiko Takahashi finally dies many people grow up and realize that her work is shit. All she's ever done is misandry propaganda. All her shitty stories are about bashing men for usually little to no reason all the while her annoying bitch ass female characters are never seen as shit for doing seriously hideous things. I honestly can't stand any series by that aging closeted dyke and hope that she dies soon. If Akira Toriyama died fairly young I hope this bitch dies soon. And though not a woman I hope Anus from Evangelion also dies soon, will never forgive that shitty man for creating the annoying bitch Asuka.You know what really pisses me off about female characters? Don't care if they are nasty bitches so much as the WRITING has the other characters enable or allow the bitch to get away with shitty behavior. That's what I hate. I don't mind if Kagome is a bitch but have Inuyasha say she's a bitch outright. She does the Sit bullshit, Inuyasha gets up and punches her with his demon powers and breaks her ribs until she learns to stop being a cunt.Honestly I stopped watching anime collectively strictly because I got tired of the beta bitch male characters who allow cunts to treat them horribly. And Oda from One Piece is another sack of shit. I hope he dies a painful death. Anyone who disagrees wishing you a painful death as well. Tired of shitty simps.
>>288766268Rumiko will be revered as a genius forever, especially after she dies, which is hopefully a long way away. meanwhile you'll only be remembered for being a fat retard.
>>288765792Kaoru Wada
>>288761804>>288764930Escaflowne was way more blatantly girly than Inuyasha. Inuyasha was obviously shoujoish, but there's enough leeway for guys to watch without feeling like they're obviously supposed to identify with Kagome. Escaflowne was way more like watching an animated romance novel straight up.I feel like way more dudes would have watched Inuyasha if they weren't turned off by the weird fat chick every school had being obsessed with it.
>>288757791I watched 119 episodes out of the 167 or so. I had to drop it. It just wasn't very good. Kagome also wasn't very good. I liked SangoAlso I had no idea there were so many sequels
>>288758048Best couple.
>>288759682Yeah, only if you are a real man you watch it all.
>>288766434I did watch it all because there weren't skip guides back then. if I ever rewatch it I will be skipping the Shippo episodes.
>>288766268>Chihuahua barks at man>Man chimps out and kicks dogChill bro. It's just women.>>288766389>By now things like the Shinto religion itself is seriously shrinking in Japan because its ridiculous to believe in nonsense.Japan still seriously believes in Shinto, it's just that their belief isn't the same system that Roman Catholicism is structured so it's difficult for outsiders to understand it.>>288766389>I want to see modernity fully take hold completely.You are seriously deranged.
>>288766268>I sincerely hope that whenever Rumiko Takahashi finally dies many people grow up and realize that her work is shit. All she's ever done is misandry propaganda. All her shitty stories are about bashing men for usually little to no reason all the while her annoying bitch ass female characters are never seen as shit for doing seriously hideous things. I honestly can't stand any series by that aging closeted dyke and hope that she dies soon.Rinne and MAO aren’t like that, she’s calmed down in her old age.
>>288764732>Ranma and Urusei Yatsura don't feel like shoujo at allRanma is incredibly female brained and almost entirely focused on petty relationship drama and gender antics. It's massively more girly than both Inuyasha and Urusei Yatsura
>>288764650>She also helped Koga with the Jewel Shards over Inuyasha even though Inuyasha was right there.The moment Inuyasha appeared on the battlefield, Kagome immediately ran into his arms.>And why should he believe her considering he just witnessed her helping the guy who literally KIDNAPPED her over him?The whole reason Koga kidnapped her was to use her powers to fight the birds of paradise that are slaughtering his clan. Kagome leveraged this to keep Shippo safe and create an opportunity for Inuyasha to find them. I don't know why you're using this as an argument. This isn't even something Inuyasha is upset about.>He had every right to pry further considering what he just saw and she had no right to so easily dismiss and even get angry at his insecurities when he’s always been patient with her’s.Again, Kagome had no problem with Inuyasha being jealous and she tried to reassure him. The problem is that he belittled her feelings and pretended not to care about her while still having the audacity to act jealous and pry.>Yeah the same guy who never blows up at Kagome the same way whenever she gets insecureInuaysha doesn't even understand Kagome's insecurity. But he still blows up at her for every little thing while she always tries to be gracious.>The real question is why was Kagome defending a guy who just committed all those horrible acts?Mercy. It turns out they ended up not being that bad.
>>288766467>Japan still seriously believes in ShintoMost of them don't even believe in the existence of any god.
>>288766515>Even Homer Simpson who is bald, ugly, and fat isn't a unemployed bum.Homer also genuinely loves his family.
>>288766484>Ranma is incredibly female brainedTrannies are not female and YWNBAW
>>288761937>writing romance as Akira ToriyamaIt's funny because Gohan x Videl is probably THE peak anime romance scenario overall.
>>288766484>Ranma>Female-brained>girlyNot with all that fanservice, harem antics, Happosai, and tranny AGP fetishism it’s not.
>>288766452Shippo was cute so not a problem for me
>>288761576Nanoka would be a lot more irate if she had to deal with Inuyasha instead of Mao.
>>288766343I've seen a few other Wada anime though. Only soundtrack of the bunch I can even vaguely remember is Princess Tutu's which is alright but really nothing groundbreaking desu. But maybe I haven't seen the good stuff? Open to suggestions.
>>288766543He's talking Ranma the series, not Ranma the character you illiterate retard. Why do you think he said 'and Urusai Yatsura' and not 'and Lum'.
>>288766584The ONLY reason you like it is because it has boobies. Of which there are countless modern series that are better. That's fine, but don't try to pretend its better than it is. People literally spent thousands of dollars watching ranma back then, you could have, you know. Bought some amazon stocks.
>>288766620>He's talking Ranma the series, not Ranma the characterYes and Ranma the series is quite obviously tranny AGP propaganda. Why else do you think all the troons in it are passable hotties and Fem Ranma is touted as hotter than the biological women? Why do you think Ranma never manages to get rid of his curse, grows comfortable with it, and even has that whole “it became apart of me” speech at the end? Why do the other two troons Tsubasa and Konatsu also stay trannies? And finally, why does Ranma get the most fanservice and whored out more than any other character bar none? Face it, it’s AGP fetish slop.
>>288766692go back
>>288766725How many trannies do you know who’ve admitted they got “their egg cracked” and trooned out thanks to Ranma? It’s practically a rite of passage for boomer troon weebs. Ranma is literal TRAnime.
>>288761071
>>288766774now at last I understand Rumiko's vision
>>288764683>>288765014>literally everybody gets a new weapon or power-up at the end of the series>Miroku's "powerup" he doesn't feel as much pain from the poison that's killing him when he uses the wind tunnel which is also killing himBeing Miroku is suffering
>>288766754I haven't seen all of Ranma, but there's only one curse of the drowned girl character there (Ranma) that I know of.An old man transforming into a panda is not a tranny.
>>288766802At the end of the series, Miroku no longer has the wind tunnel as the curse dissipates with Naraku's death. He achieved his lifelong goal (along with marrying Sango). I'm not saying he doesn't have a power-up, but rather it's not at all "poison resistance".
>>288766066I mean, it's a legit beautiful ED.
>>288766918It's the best ED of like any show, ever.
>>288758700So does that put Inuyasha in the same universe as Kerberos Panzer Cop?
>>288766391>the weird fat chick every school hadThat's what kept me a closeted anime fan for a looooong time. Also the reason it took me so long to start posting here.That, and you people scared me.
>>288766843>I'm not saying he doesn't have a power-up, but rather it's not at all "poison resistance".It happened a bit before the final battle with Naraku, when Sango got an upgrade to her boomerang.
>>288766489>The moment Inuyasha appeared on the battlefield, Kagome immediately ran into his arms.And then proceeded to use her powers to help Koga locate the jewel shard in the Birds of Paradise instead of giving Inuyasha the tip>The whole reason Koga kidnapped her was to use her powers to fight the birds of paradise that are slaughtering his clan. Kagome leveraged this to keep Shippo safe and create an opportunity for Inuyasha to find them.Yep but Inuyasha didn’t know that, nor did she bother to tell him and chose to blow up on him instead.>This isn't even something Inuyasha is upset about.Yes it is, he point blank asks why Kagome is defending him after he kidnapped her like that.>Again, Kagome had no problem with Inuyasha being jealous and she tried to reassure him. The problem is that he belittled her feelings and pretended not to care about her while still having the audacity to act jealous and pryAnd yet when the shoe’s on the other foot Inuyasha never blows up at Kagome for her jealous feelings now does he? His jealousy in this situation was way tamer than Kagome’s Kikyo-related sit outbursts and yet still Kagome overreacted and threw yet another temper tantrum when the punishment hardly fit the crime and she should’ve known Inuyasha was just being his usual “pretend not to care, tsundere tough guy self” and done a better job reassuring him. Meanwhile whenever Kagome gets jealous and sits Inuyasha into the ground he acts like he deserves it and never reacts back.>But he still blows up at her for every little thing while she always tries to be gracious.Except when she’s actually jealous and all in her feelings about Kikyo, yet Kagome doesn’t even think to extend him the same courtesy whenever HE’S jealous even when his jealous outbursts are so much tamer than her’s.>Mercy. It turns out they ended up not being that bad.But Inuyasha didn’t know that at the time, so in his eyes it really did look like she was cheating on him.
>>288758244inuyasha is a dumbass and a lot of the times she got mad at him were deserved
>>288764982>judging from fanfiction statisticsDoesn't seem like ithttps://archiveofourown.org/tags/Higurashi%20Kagome*s*Inuyasha/workshttps://archiveofourown.org/tags/Higurashi%20Kagome*s*Sesshoumaru/works
>>288764982>Eh to be fair it is frequently joked across the fandom that Sesshomaru has severe daddy issuesNah I’ll make jokes about Sesshomaru’s daddy issues all day and night but the person they’re talking about is genuinely delusional. Picrel looks like they’re shitposting but they were haunting the Yashahime storytime threads writing 10 paragraphs per thread to try and push their delusion.Pretty sure it’s who this anon >>288762685 thought he was talking to.
>>288765968So why is Kikyo able to get away with it?
>>288757791As soon as it was shown that she was able to go home whenever the fuck she wanted with that well and just went back to being a normal 15 year old girl with nobody really wondering or caring why she disappeared for weeks on end or her battles in fantasy Japan with literal demons having zero effect on her I dropped the show entirely.
>>288767641>noooo it must be a FULL isekai or my attention span can’t take it
>>288767220>And then proceeded to use her powers to help Koga locate the jewel shard in the Birds of Paradise instead of giving Inuyasha the tipShe told Koga where it is before Inuyasha arrived.>Yep but Inuyasha didn’t know that>Yes it is, he point blank asks why Kagome is defending him after he kidnapped her like that.No, that's not even something he brings up. It was over her not letting him kill Koga.>And yet when the shoe’s on the other foot Inuyasha never blows up at Kagome for her jealous feelings now does he?The situations are not comparable. Kagome repeatedly makes it clear that Koga's feelings are one-sided. Kikyo is Inuyasha's old flame whom he still has feelings for and for much of the series, he's wish-washy over whether he wants Kagome or Kikyo. Even when Kagome is jealous, she still gives Inuyasha space with Kikyo and lets him run off to find her whenever she's nearby, and she decides she still wants to be by Inuyasha's side even if he chooses Kikyo as his number one. She only gets mad when he's insensitive towards her feelings.
>>288767579>InuKag is only 28% more popular than SessKagConsidering Sesshōmaru says all of like three things to Kagome this is still fucking wild.
>>288764519>>288764592>Mao and Inuyasha share a universeOkay, I am mildly interested in Mao now.
Never read Urusei, but Inuyasha is leagues better than Ranma and Ikokku.
>>288757791>it's a Inuyasha visits Kagome in her era episode
>>288767798They really don't, Rumiko's said herself that you should consider them separate universes. Shiina just likes doing cameos, and Rumiko likes reusing story ideas.
>>288768015>They really don't, Rumiko's said herself that you should consider them separate universes.Oh. Interest lost, then.
>>288764759>Auntie Rin still has a human lifespan, and SOMEONE’S gotta keep Uncle Sesshy company once she’s gone.
>>288757791Inuyasha is a soap opera anyway. If it's not Kagome dragging it, it's Naraku.
>>288768048You should give Mao a chance nonetheless. I find it quite nice and a return to form after the slog that was Rinne
>>288766617Ninja Scroll
>>288767635Because Kikyo is a cool beauty type.Also less screechy and annoying than Kagome,
>>288768188Have seen that, don't remember the music at all. It's possible my disdain for splatter films distracted me from appreciating the audio though. Mildly pessimistic, but I'll revisit it.. Eventually. Thanks
>Another MOBA CameoWhy can’t we get a real game? Why are we stuck in MOBA Purgatory?
>>288759554After rereading the manga, it's mostly the anime directors to blame since Kagome is more even keeled, and doesn't abuse the beads of subjugation constantly. Though what you said is true about Akane in Ranma.
>>288768541>AkaneBasically the mold of every FMC who treats MC like shit, compares him to other men (especially love rivals) and treat them in a kinder way than she treats MC. Basically a modern NTR "heroine" constrained by the demographics restrictions.
