  • There have been a few annoying episodes. This was the most juvenile by far. In the words of Comic Book Guy, "Worst. Episode. Ever."

    "Terrible"

    First let me say, I'm a huge fan of the show. I love the action, suspense, and even some of the drama. I love the depth of the characters and watching how rounded and dynamic they become as they evolve. However, there are a few really annoying characters and episodes that are clearly trying to rake in the 14 and under audience. I had a difficult time watching this episode and it was one of the few I had a strong urge to skip. In fact, if the more juvenile aspects of the show annoy you (such as Shippo's and Jaken's voices), then this is one episode I would suggest skipping completely. Nothing significant happens at any point. The entire episode is unnecessary filler.

    The only slightly redeeming moment is a funny point at the end of a play where Inuyasha used the wind scar in Kagome's school's auditorium. It would have been much funnier if I had been in any mood to laugh by the end of the episode. Honestly, I wanted to throw up.

    I suppose the show is built for a younger audience than myself, but I haven't enjoyed this kind of drivel since I was seven years old. This would be my favorite animated series if it weren't for episodes like this one.moreless

    This episode was hilarious, I dont think I laughed so hard since the 3 monkey episode. Dont miss this one. Inuyasha ended up comming anyhow and when they were walking in the hall they saw a demon right behind kogame. Inuyasha destroyed the demon and said I have to look for the others, inuyasha went on slaughter the demons. When kogame did the choir concert and the play. The play in which inuyasha blew a hole in the ceiling lol that was hilarious, you got to see it. After that inuyasha said that they got to get back to the feudal era and kogame agreed.moreless

    Cultural festival goes on without hitch that is until water falls upon the dried demons. The choir scene was rather funning to watch. But my favorite had to be the play when Inuyasha busted in and accepted Hojo's challenge at face value. The fact that the Inuyasha was able to roam the school grounds without anyone noticing that he had dog-ears was so unreal that it made it hysterical. The sight of him running away from curry was funny.(It burned his tongue! Poor Inuyasha) In terms of plot devolpment there is none to speak of. That is except Naraku talking to the long-eared demon on where the last shard is. It is merely an episode of sheer hilarity and silliness of Inuyasha running around in the present era and Kagome being systematical forced into various events. This is an episode that is so desperately needed after the sorrowful passing of Kikyou, a funny one that we can just laugh at.moreless

    It's crazy, but this was definitely really funny. Especially when Kagome's friends kept pulling her away for another activity and didn't seem to notice Inuyasha at all.

    And yeah, it was the first time he ran away from something that I've noticed, heh. He saw spicy food and he ran off, "that food burns my tongue"... I mean, that's hilarious.

    The play was also funny when Inuyasha shows up for no apparent reason. Then he takes out his sword and I'm like "oh, my sword's bigger than yours"... the Tetsusaiga was huge compared to Hojo's sword.

    Despite the fact Inuyasha stuck out like a sore thumb, he still had a lot of funny scenes and lines. And I like seeing him when things are... awkward... cuz it's definitely outside the norm for him.moreless

    Anyways, I\'d say this episode was pretty funny because of the play. Inuyasha busting in because he was jealous and Kagome ended up having to write her own script, hoping that Inuyasha and Hojo follows her lead. Twisted story for this episode, but it was funny as can be.

    So overall, this is one of my favourites from Inuyasha. And I have enjoyed it a lot, and I hope you do too.moreless
