 HeyAug 22, 2006

Good grief. Okay, for one, don't listen to all that garbage down there(metalwhatever29, etc...). They're just extremely bored because they have no lives and short attention spans-they clearly strayed away from the main subject. Seriously, guys... We're talking about THIS dvd, and reviewing IT. Not your monotonous subjective opinion on an entire anime series. You probably go to the InuYasha key-chains and bash on those too. Pathetic...
Anyway, for people who are interested in this dvd:
If you really enjoy Inuyasha, then you will like this movie. I'll truthfully say, it's not better than the 2nd or 3rd(the best one in my book!)movie, but it IS the very first Inuyasha movie and that makes it special in it's own way. For those of you who love to see them, there are a few classic Inuyasha and Kagome moments in this movie you don't want to miss. Actually, this is the first thing I ever watched of Inuyasha when they showed it on cartoon network, and I was totally absorbed. So if your a fan or a newcomer, I would definitely suggest to add this to your Inuyasha collection.

 Go Kagome!Feb 04, 2005
Well wow! I bought this on a whim because I love the series and since I have no money to start my tv collection now I thought I'd start a little smaller. If you love the show, you won't be disappointed! The laughter, the tears, the utter frustration, its all there! Its also nice because it moves away from the tv show a little but still gives some explanation for the people who don't know anything about the characters. There are some awesome fight scenes and for girls like me, a few touching moments between Kagome and Inuyasha. Also nice, and the reason for my review title, Kagome actually does stuff! I found myself often screaming at her to do SOMETHING in the series...in the movie, she takes action a little more quickly, which is nice! No disappointments here, an excellent, jaw-dropping flick!

A must buy!Sep 17, 2004
By K. Booth
I was so excited to find out that the movies were finally coming out dubbed. As much as I love watching undubbed anime and movies I still enjoy being able to pay attention to the artwork, body language of the characters, and small details that you tend to miss when you are reading subtitles. The artwork in this movie is flawless, even more beautiful than the series on TV. There is a lot of character development for everyone. It's even worth to sit through the beaituful ending song to see the little pictures that come up and the small ending sequence between Inuyasha and Kagome. A must buy for new and old fans alike. The entire first half hour or so tries to bring new fans up to date on what's going on (a good thing to do when doing a movie from a series, that way you can appeal to all audiences). An hour and forty minutes of great anime. I plan on buying the enxt movie and the Season One Boxset (yay!).

If you're already an Inuyasha fan, you should buy itSep 15, 2004
By Tinsel_the_Elf
* TAKE NOTE *
I threw a hissy fit when I read the Amazon editorial review that stated this DVD was not widescreen formatted (I first saw the film in a theatre, and even though the animation is patchy at times there are some great cinematic shots that should only be seen on widescreen). NEVER FEAR! ^_^ DESPITE WHAT IS WRITTEN ABOVE, THE DVD *IS* WIDESCREEN!
If you're an Inuyasha fan, you should buy this movie, even if you already have the Japanese version. The story is coherent and fun, and all members of Inu-tachi get a little character development (and suffer angst on the way!). Particular attention is given to Kagome and Inuyasha's tentative relationship. Fluffy-fans beware, there is precious little Sesshoumaru.
Others will sum up the plot for you, let me just say that there are nice extras. You can choose between English or Japanese language tracks, and additional material include the trailer for the second (dubbed) Inuyasha movie, several original Japanese trailers for this first one, character sketches from the film production, and a Japanese television program (subbed only) that uses clips from the first 50 or so episodes to promote the film. The program is narrated by different characters and gives the basic outline of the Inuyasha story up to Inuyasha's discovery of the Backlash Wave (Jaken and Rin are especially cute together), and ties in the plot of the film.
A final note on the dub -- there are a few cheesy moments (Kaede's yechy "ye's" among them), but on the whole it is very well done. Monk Miroku's English voice actor is a scream, and he possesses near perfect dry, comic timing.
A good price, and a very worthy DVD! ^_^

A Wonderful Inuyasha MovieAug 04, 2006
By Dylan
I love the show Inuyasha. The first Inuyasha movie is called Affections Touching Across Time. The plot is fairly simple, yet exciting. When Kagome's arrow broke the Sacred Jewel, a shard awakened Menomaru, the son of a powerful demon named Hyoga. Hyoga was defeated by Inuyasha's father and his great power was laid dormant thanks to one of Inuyasha's father's fangs. Menomaru and his followers attack our heros and ultimately break the seal around Hyoga's power.
As Menomaru transforms into the new Hyoga, Kagome and Kirara are being controlled by his followers. Kagome turns on Inuyasha and Kirara on Sango. As the new Hyoga awakens, Kagome becomes trapped in her world. Can she get back to Inuyasha and help him defeat Hyoga?
Elsewhere, Miroku has his Wind Tunnel copied by one of Hyoga's followers and the two battle. Kirara helps another follower of Hyoga to fight Sango. Can Sango awaken Kirara and break Hyoga's hold? Will Miroku's Wind Tunnel hold out against such a powerful foe?
This movie is great. The title is Affections Touching Across Time because Kagome and Inuyasha can still hear one another from different time dimensions all thanks to the Sacred Tree which began their story. I enjoyed this movie because it explains a bit about Inuyasha's father's past and the Trees of Ages. However, what really steals the show are the bonds between Kagome and Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango, and Sango and Kirara that ultimately leave our heros victorious.
Still, two major flaws of this movie are the lack of Sesshomaru and Naraku. Sesshomaru does have a few lines, and I love how he speaks to Kikyo, but not nearly enough. Naraku is not even in the movie once! Other than that, this was a great Inuyasha movie which I recommend to all Inuyasha fans.
