InuYasha
Summary:
The story revolves around a fifteen year old girl, named Kagome, living in modern day Japan, who lives on her family's Shinto shrine. One day, she goes into the well house looking for her cat, when she is suddenly pulled into the well by a centipede demon. It attacks her, but she is able to stop it with an unknown, glowing force in her hand. Escaping from the well, she comes to realize that she is no longer in the Japan she called home. She had traveled back in time into the ancient Sengoku Period of Japan. Trying to find a way back home, she stumbles upon Inuyasha, the half-demon sealed to the sacred tree, the tree on her family shrine in the modern era. Seen next to the sacred tree, villagers capture and bring her to their village. Unsure of what to do with her, they bring her to the high priestess, Lady Kaede. The two spend time together and soon become friends, but they are interrupted by an attack on the village by the same demon that had last attacked Kagome. Knowing it is after her, she runs away from the village bringing the demon with her. Crying out for help, the sleeping Inuyasha awakens. The centipede demon continues to attack Kagome and rips out from her side, a sacred jewel, a jewel with great power that demons wish to possess. Unable to protect herself, Kagome frees Inuyasha. Now free, he defeats the demon and saves Kagome. The two instantly grow a disliking for each other, but are forced to work together after certain events cause the sacred jewel to shatter into many shards and are dispersed throughout Japan. Together they must work together to find the sacred jewel shards to avoid disasters caused by its power.
Personal Opinion:
It is one of my absolute favorite anime shows. It has an interesting storyline, decent animation, and hilarious characters.
Suggestion:
WATCH IT!
I don't watch or read anime, but it looks like the plots of most of these series' have a lot going on. It's so dense that I'm not even able to wrap my head around it! Could you post some pictures that correspond to the stories you are summarizing because I really want to compare the different styles of anime--especially since anime is a very distinct drawing style, itself. Anyway, nice summary. I thought it was really engaging.
ReplyDeleteThanks Keerti! I aprreciate your input. I can understand that the plots for these stories can be very dense and tried my very best to keep it as short as I possibly could without going into too much detail. The density of the plots of anime depend on the genre and can be simple at times. However, this anime happens to be about 193 episodes and has very long and well developed story. Also, I'll be happy to put up some pictures.
