 "Anime movie of the year"Having already seen this film in Japanese, I can't wait to see how the English version of it will turn out. At the beginning of the movie, 200 years before the actual series starts, you get to meet up with a teenage Sesshoumaru, a new-born Inuyasha, the mighty Inu no Taisho, and Inuyasha's mother Izayoi. Shortly after saving Izayoi and his new-born son, though, the Inu no Taisho is killed, and the story switches back over to 700 years later in Kagome's time. You learn about a new sword that the Inu no Taisho possessed. It is a malicious sword named Sou'unga, which can only be handled by the late dog demon and his eldest son Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha comes across it after the seal on the evil sword is broken and it ends up destroying the city of Tokyo. After picking up the sword, Inuyasha is possessed by it, almost kills Kagome, and disappears back into the well. This movie is really quite fantastic. Although the animation might not be as good as some people are hoping for, the plot itself is actually very nicely done. Sesshoumaru actually shows more than 3 emotions during the course of the movie, and the villians actually go farther than being just some evil human dude. Even if you didn't find yourself a fan of the first two movies, I would definitely recommend this movie for your Inuyasha collection. And if you don't have an Inuyasha collection, you can just start one by buying this movie. Animation: 4 stars Storyline: 5 stars Action: 4.5 stars Characters: 5 stars Originality: 4.5 stars Rated PG-13 for violence, swearing, and some groping.

"The Best InuYasha Feature:"Swords of an Honrorable Ruler is the best movie out of all 4 of them. It is the first time in the entire series that you acually see InuYasha and Sesshomaru's Father "The Great Dog Demon". His phyisical characteristics resemble both that of InuYasha and Sesshomaru. While his personality more resembles InuYasha. The film opens up with him speaking with Sesshomaru which would be there last time. He ask Sesshomaru "Do you have someone you wish to protect?" Sesshomaru of course is not interested about protecting people at that time. For his goal is "The way of Supreme Conquest" After that "The Great Dog Demon" rushes off to save InuYasha and his mother Iziyoi. Once he arrives at the fortress he uses the "Wind Scar" to take care of the men who have captured Iziyoi. He then confronts Takemara of Setsuna. The one responsible for killing Iziyoi. Once "The Great Dog Demon" Hears of this he rushes him and takes Takemara's left arm with Tetsusaiga. He then runs in searching for his family. He finds Iziyoi dead as Takemara promised him. He then uses Tenseiga to revieve her. He gives her the Robe of the Fire Rat. Names InuYasha, and tells her to run. He uses his third sword Sounga to fight with Takemara one last time as the burning fortress colapses on them. The begining of the film opens with a bang as you witness "The Great Dog Demon" use the "Three Swords of Supreme Conquest". The opening scene in this film is worth watching the movie alone. The rest of the movie continues to deliver with spectacular fight scenes between InuYasha and Sesshomaru, the the final Battle with InuYasha and Sesshomaru v.s. Sounga. If you enjoy InuYasha you will enjoy this film. If anyone would like to speak to me about it feel free to contact me over AOL Instant Messenger . My screen name is Desired Hero. "This was my favorite of all 4 movies!"I have seen all four Inuyasha movies, and I must say this one was by far my favorite! It's the only time you will see Inuyasha and Sesshomaru fighting on the same side, although they would never admit it. Also, in this movie, we finally get to hear Miroku's feelings for Sango! This is a must see movie! "I already have the movie. Bought it from the mall. And I have to say its the best Inuyasha movie ever!!!!! "The third Inuyasha movie is the best. It has his father in it and everything. And the moment we've been waiting for the clash of the brothers Inuyasha versus Shashomarru. This movie is so amazing any Inuyasha fan or Anime fan should buy this movie its worth the money. But they could've giving the DVD a lot more special features. But it has a pretty good amount not the good amount that I was expecting anyways the movie is awsome its well worth the money. Totosai is so halarious in this movie. Anyways buy this movie I had no regrets buying this movie for 24$ at the mall. Get this movie its awsome!!!! |
