Tips

Watch The Final Act

The original 2000 series ends without resolution. The Final Act (2009) completes the story and is essential.

The Filler Is Heavy

The original 167 episodes include significant filler. Filler guides are available online.

It's a Romance as Much as an Action Series

The Inuyasha/Kagome relationship is the heart of the show. The action serves the emotional story.
