Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon

Its a direct continuation from what was left on the last episode of the inuyasha final act series but focusing on different characters that are the childrens of the original characters. Its like using the already established world from the inuyasha series but the main focus shift onto their respective future generations. I dont feel comfortable knowing that rin ended up becoming seshoumarus wife lol, she was still a kid. Saw Koga just briefly for a moment with no dialogues and it was a bit confusing to follow the storyline and keeping up with the sudden changes.

Tbh i was worried with the way the storyline progressed that was very much alike the inuyasha series. But things gotten better later on, so be patience. Instead of Shikon Jewels the focus changed to a new antique known as Rainbow pearls (weaker in power compared to Shikon Jewel but grants variety of abilities original to each pearls). All the three main characters in this series were 'boyish' girls that have their own subplots to the main storyline (same formula as in the inuyasha series). The execution of the storyline was a bit messy and rushed. Many plot holes as always.

Unlike the original run, this sequel took time travel and its consequences very seriously. The quality of the animation tremendously improved. All the original characters appeared, some are recurring characters for this sequel and almost all the original voice casts returned for this project. Loving the interaction between the new characters and the old characters. Sound scores were very original to the earliest season of the inuyasha series - very classic & nostalgic.

All the intro and outro songs were okay. Not something that i would watch again but still highly recommended.

The anime's dub cast(s) are stationed at Bang Zoom! in Los Angeles, California and Ocean Studios in Vancouver, British Columbia while some of the cast members from the first anime returned (including Kaye who does shows for both countries) Viz Media somehow found the funds to but in American cast members, there's no doubt the voice director Jalen K. Cassell has to Skype Ocean Studios to talk Cox, Tozer, Sheridan, Micheals and Morrow and plenty of the original characters will return with their respective dub actors.

This series kept the og characters on secret so far. Fans are waiting and discussing on how they would be. Waiting for more reveals so far. All the best for Yashahime.

I remember watching Inuyasha when I was still young. There's no video streaming so I have to watched it on free TV, after school I rushed to our tv to watch inuyasha.. I really love the show... Now, I'm adult and I really really love Hanyô no Yashahime it brings a lot of sweet memories when I was young.... I also love that they maintain the old school animation.... uhm I hide from my kids while watching this... if they see me, I'm sure they will tell their mom "look momma dad's is watching cartoons!"

The storyline felt bit simplistic since much of it revolved only around parent-daughter relationship. That wasn't the problem though. What kept me from giving this show high ratings was the pace. Around 70% of the first season was filler. Season 2 however was much more interesting and enjoyable. Of course, not at the same level as the original Inuyasha series but that's quite understandable.

I would say this is a must-watch for the Inuyasha fans. However, you will have to keep waiting for the screentime of your favorite characters.

The very first opening song New Era from Sixtones used to be at the top of my playlist around a year ago.
