What a waste of my time!!!

Expected more

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

A great way to add to the television series, this movie is shocking yet adorable. When I first saw it I had to watch it over and over due to the laughter and such that it caused.Being a follower of the InuYasha series, I found this movie an amazing example of anime at its best.Some parts contain things that most people wouldn't believe could ever be in the show, and some you know and love like the back of your hand. Some parts would never fit into the series such as they did in the movie, although they were a huge success to those on some character's sides.The beginning is awesome. It is beyond belief. The slap mark on Miroku's face was so entirely funny and if you pay close attention to the voices, you may recognize them from (believe it or not) the Barbie movies. I actually hadn't noticed this because I have never seen a "Barbie" movie in my life, but my friend pointed it out.The English subtitles had some misspellings, but everyone could easily tell what they meant by it.Excellent.

First of all, the movie is definitely not a summarized version of the series!!! ahem... The movie deals with a completely new enemy (Kaguya)and how Inuyasha, Kagome and the gang deal with this... However, it isn't just another story where the good guys fight the bad guys. It has a plot! And a most beautiful one! This is certainly a movie to recommend! It is awesome! The animation is beautiful! The songs are awesome! and well... Inuyasha & Kagome are just the cutest thing ever! This movie isn't necessarily for Anime fans, or even Inuyasha fans! If you're looking for a fun, interesting, romantic, action-packed movie... then look no further! I am fortunate enough to watch the anime series and am a great fan! It is just so incredible!And the character development is amazing! This of course, keeps throughout the movie! Just when you thought you'd seen the best part, it gets BETTER!! Please do not hesitate to watch this movie!! AND IT IS NOT A SUMMARIZED VERSION OF THE SERIES!! AND EVEN IF IT IS 167 EPISODES LONG!! IT IS WORTH IT!!

When I first saw the first movie, I was great disappointed by what I saw, especially for a series as good as Inu-Yasha. My expectations first watching Castle Beyond the Looking Glass were not as high, but I was in for a surprise. In every single way I can think of, Castle Beyond the Looking Glass is a vast improvement over Affections Touching Across Time.For the most part, the second movie's story is as stock quality as the first movie. It does however try to go into the realm of alternate universe (though it still really takes place in the canon storyline) by posing the question "What would it be like if Naraku died right now?" And, in my opinion, the interpretation is pretty good. Castle Beyond the Looking Glass does something however that really makes it just like many other Japanese animated movies by incorporating story elements from the fairy tale, Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. While it does so in a tasteful way, it kind of gave me the impression of "overused" just as the first movie's story felt. Getting past that though, the villain Kaguya is far superior to Menomaru, if only because she was less corny. So the story, which features all our favorite characters rather evenly (meaning there is something for everybody to enjoy), is actually more compelling.The animation and music is about the same level as the first movie. Actually, I say the music was better for this movie because the first movie sounded as though it ripped a lot of tracks right off the television show. In contrast, I'm pretty sure most, if not all the music used for Castle Beyond the Looking Glass, was original (using the same melodies possibly, but at least played in a different way).I thoroughly enjoyed Castle Beyond the Looking Glass much more than Affections Touching Across Time. The DVD also has some nice features that you shouldn't miss.

You could say that the movie is just a really long epi, but i havent found a moive to a series that wasn't. it starts off with the team killing naraku, hows that for the begining? then kanna and kagura are off to find there 'true' freedom, eventually freeing a trapped imposter nymph. another character is intorduced, akitoki houjo (houjo's anscestor), kagome is kidnapped (suprise)and there are about 3-4 big battles!! all in all everything goes back to normal so how did they surpast the kiss... :D watch to see all in all if u like the series, of corse ull love this movie, if u love sangoxmiroku and kagomexinuyasha you love this movie, no kikyoxinu moments i promise!!
