A fantastic movie. I love everything about it. Hell, the animation is some of the studios best, almost Myazaki Gibli quality.I especially love the two driving characters, Kagome and Sango. Kagome, though being the main character of the series, she's really put to the test here and I will say that this is probably one of Monica Stori's best performances in the series.Sango's relationship with Kirara is pushed to the limit here. Its almost if Kirara is like that friend you have that is kinda mentally ill and this is sorta there violent breakdown. And Sango really trying to save her is so touching.There is a little nitpick of wanting a bit more Kikyo in there, being she's my favorite character in the series, but who am I to complain. Where as Sailor Moon was the anime of my childhood, this series really treated me like an adult. I love the dark tragic backstories, the love triangle, and the villains are great. If you wanna start watching it, this is a good place to introduce new fans. One of the best outta the four and defiantly in my Top 50 Films. 10/10

Like a lot of anime, if it gets popular it gets translated to the big screen for the die hard and casual fans of the series. "Inuyasha: Affections Touching Across Time" is no exception because of the anime's cult status popularity worldwide.200 years ago a Chinese moth yokai named Hyoga invaded Japan but Inuyasha's father battled Hyoga and defeated him sealing him away in a magical prison known as the Tree of Ages. Years later when the Shikon no Tama(Jewel of Four Souls) shatters, a fragment finds its way into a tree and frees Hyoga's son Menōmaru who wishes to take vengeance for his father against Inuyasha and become the next Lord Hyoga.The story is like a stand alone Inuyasha episode only its longer and has a better budget and animation which mixes CG with traditional animation. Only the CG hasn't aged well and clashes with the regular animation very badly which thankfully happens in very few places so it isn't that distracting. Everything that fans of the series including myself love is all here. The humor, the romance, the epic action is all here. The movie also touches upon the relationship between Inuyasha and Kagome in a couple of very touching scenes with great animation and emotional music. The film comes with either the original Japanese dub or the English dub. It doesn't matter either or since both are very good although the English version has sometimes bad voice acting especially near the end where the main villain sounds really bad in his final form.Its a good "Inuyasha" flick and its worth your time especially if you are a fan of the series.

When I first heard that they were making a movie for the series, Inu-Yasha, I was very excited, especially because I had been a fan of the series for a very long time. Sadly, the movie isn't nearly as good as most people would make it out to be.If anybody has seen the episodes featuring the Black Priestess, Tsubaki, you would recognize that much of this movie is not much more than a glorified version of those episodes. The characters Kikyo and Sesshomaru also make very forced appearances (forced as in, its just to please the fan boys and fan girls, but not much more). The main antagonist, Menomaru, is not very compelling, especially when compared to villains used for the Inu-Yasha movies that followed. And because Menomaru isn't very interesting (both in personality and in goals), the story itself isn't very interesting. Take out the obvious Tsubaki references, and the best way to describe this story is "overused."The animation and music however is a great improvement over the television series. It is clear from some of the character designs that they tried to make it look more like the comic. And that, in my opinion, is welcome. I thought the characters actually looked rather odd when I first saw the television series. But there is a nice amount of detail in this movie that makes it very easy on the eyes.While Inu-Yasha: Affections Touching Across Time is not unwatchable, it certainly isn't as good as I expected to be...

This movie is great from the start to the finish. But I must warn that it is not for everyone. Fan of the series will definitely love it. But for those who haven't seen the series, I would suggest you watch the series, and if you do not like the series, then definitely don't watch the movie! It's just a long episode really.The story strays away from the Naraku saga and creates a whole new evil character Hyouga. Inuyasha's father defeated Hyouga's father many years ago. Now Hyouga wants to take revenge on Inuyasha by killing him and all his friends. That's about all of the story I can give away without ruining the movie. But the story involves ALL characters!! Well, the main ones at least.If you were moved by the intense Naraku, Kikyo saga, then you will be moved by this adventure as well. Also, the animation is alot better and the drawings are sort of different. But action sequences are done very well.Overall I gave this movie a 10/10.
