"Perfect"

By inuyasharulez08, Jul 03, 2008

This is when Inuyasha was great they mixed action with comedy and put alittle romance in there, dont get me wrong the later episodes were good just they always focused on one of those some would be big in romance or huge on action. It makes it so interesting if they mix it up and add alittle per episode. but this episode was very intertaining and a little gory but eh.. It was funny and there was alot of action as usual. It was funny when Inuyasha was getting kinda high off of the ink that the monsters spilled out of them when inuyasha struck them with his swordmoreless

All in all you need to watch this show it was great to look at. Enyoy...moreless

This episode was not very good. Some of the parts were a little funny, but it didn't make up for the rest of the episode. Most of the actin was not good because they were killing ink creations not living beings. Teh scenes with Miroku and Inuyasha were funny though, as when they were talking about whether they wanted him aroun or not. Much to Inuyasha's suprise, Kagome said she likes him. The past couple of episodes also did not deal with the main storyline and where as boring if not more than this one which made it better than the past couple of episodes.moreless

Funny!

"Great"

By TerraGirl16, Aug 03, 2005

This was a funny episode if a bit of a filler. However, thats what I love most about this series- even the fillers are awesome!

Very original idea to have the jewel shard let the paintings come alive. Nice touch that Miroku recognized some of the demons, goes to show that he's cultured (Not!)

The guy seemed a bit of a lunatic, truth be told. And it was creative that Inuyasha was not the one to kill him, his power killed himself. Well, desire for power actually. Plainly, the guy was a raving nutcase.

I liked how, right off the bat, we get to see that Miroku is part of the team and here to stay. They could have done that in later episodes, perhaps after Sango comes, but it needed to be done now, to avoid all of that. Plus, it sort of solidifies the connection if you know what I mean.

Anyway, great episode, hilarious especially when Inuyasha goes "You oughta be arrested!" which brought me saying "They arrested people back then?"moreless
