InuYasha Movie 1: Affections Touching Across Time-S1E2

Inuyasha the Movie: Affections Touching Across Time_360P

Now i know the main flaw of this movie to some is the fact that is very similar of the series, some may call it a "very long episode". Well, while the plot doesn't differ from the series, you get the chance to explore the relationships between the characters a lot deeper than you're allowed to in the series. The story is similar to the main plot, Naraku's still alive and matters not in this movie. But you get to see a lot of stir between Inuyasha, Kagome and Kikyo, and the animation is much better then the series of course, the sightings are beautiful and some of the scenes really touching. Yes, it may merely appear as a long episode, so those who aren't fan of the series may not appreciate it that much, but all in all (fan as I am) the movie stands on its own, and I truly recommend it to Inuyasha fans and those who simply enjoy a good anime film.

Kagome Higurashi is like any other 15 year old student. Like any other, until she discovers that she can travel through time via the Bone Eater's well... Not unlike the series, Toki Wo Koeru Omoi takes place in Feudal Japan with a bit of Present day mixed in. Unlike the series, the first of currently three movies strays from the Naraku plot and into another enemy. Enter Menomaru. A demon who's father, Hyoga, was sealed beneath the Tree of Ages by Inu-yasha's father 200 years past. He fools Inu-yasha into attacking the claw which sealed away Hyoga's power, thus destroying it and releasing Hyoga's power. His power takes the form of a great orb. Menomaru allows himself to be engulfed into it, thus absorbing the power of his father. Collecting the souls of every living thing, Menomaru's power grows to immense size and soon, he becomes reborn with near limitless power as the New Hyoga.(Side note: During all this, Sango and Mirkou are fighting battles against Menomaru's servants, Ruri and Hari, who both are slain) While this passes, Kikyo sends Kagome to her own time, as she was not meant to be there. Kagome and Inu-yasha somehow manage to contact each other, although 500 years apart. Inu-yasha gets Kagome to come back to Feudal Japan. With the help of Kagome's arrow, Inu-yasha's Backlash Wave hits Hyoga, killing him and earning them a Shikon shard. Overall, this is very much like what happens in the series, but with larger detail. One detail I didn't enjoy was the 3D effect on the Tree of Ages. It takes away from the overall picture. But, in a grand total, I give this movie a 9.5/10(1/2 point for 3D)

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

The Shikon jewel, a stone that grants great powers to demons has been shattered. A demon named Menomaru finds a shard, and uses it to avenge against Inuyasha's dad that imprisoned Menomaru's dad. The heroes must fight Menomaru as well as their own powers and fears to conquer this latest menace to the search for the Shikon jewel shards.

I recommend this movie to people who have met two prequisits: Those who like anime, and for those who like Anime to watch at least the first 20 or so episodes of Inuyasha. If you've watched that many or have a good understanding of the Inuyasha storyline and characters, then watch the movie too. I felt that this movie was BETTER than the series itself and was not just like a long episode. Rather, it was more of an in-depth description of the characters. If I had to give a score, up to 100, 1 being a being a home video with the cover still on and a broken microphone, 100 being something that you will watch over and over again for eternity, I'd give it: 89/100 I give it less than 90 because the 2nd movie was better than this one.

While I don't quite agree with the reviewer who said this is better than the TV show, this is definitely one of my favorite movies (and I just bought it yesterday). For those unfamiliar with the show, the movie provides basic introductions and some facts needed about the main characters. For a better synopsis, though, either check out the "Special Footage" section of the DVD (which can seem disjointed) or find an online episode guide (TV Tome is helpful). Inuyasha: Affections Touching Across Time (US Title) definitely has some moments that truly stand out (not saying the rest of the movie is bad, but these moments are exceptionally memorable.) For instance, the meeting of Kagome and Kikyo after Kagome is forced to shoot Inuyasha with an arrow, leaving him slumped against the God Tree...with both girls in miko clothing, it is eerie to see....especially Kikyo's words to Kagome: "You truly are my reincarnation"... And let's not forget the meeting of Kikyo and Sesshomaru! Short, yes, but definitely a memorable moment, in my mind. Overall, InuYasha, Affections Touching Across Time is a great movie that does the TV show and manga proud.

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.
