As if battling demons and searching for the Sacred Jewel shards weren’t tough enough, Kagome also faces the battles of a very modern-day student, like preparing for a school festival and a love scene in the class play! But demons wait for no one, and soon enough Kagome is back in the past, encountering demon women that test the bond between Miroku and Sango, a woman who’s mysteriously in love with Inuyasha’s brother Sesshomaru, and an ancestor of the boy with a crush on Kagome in the present day!(Contains episodes 127-146)
Bilingual (Japanese and English) with English subtitlesMuch of the sixth season of Rumiko Takahashi’s “Feudal Fairy Tale” Inu Yasha has a lighter tone than the previous instalmments. Insanity reigns when the dried demon parts Kagome unwittingly brought into the present day are reconstituted during her school cultural festival. Inu-Yasha, his ears hidden beneath an incongruous baseball cap, destroys them–while making mincemeat of Kagome’s class play (an episode that recalls the performance of “Romeo and Juliet” in Ranma 1/2). Fox-spirit Shippo begins to come into his own as a character, claiming a bigger role in the story and arguing with the powerful Inu-Yasha. In the main story line, Naraku has collected all but four of the shards of the sacred Shikkon Jewel: wolf-demon Koga holds two; Sango’s possessed brother Kohaku has the third. The fourth is caught between the realms of the living and dead, near the tomb of Inu-Yasha’s father: But only the dead can cross into that world. Naraku searches for the path to the shard using Kagura and Hakudoshi, the repulsive avatar he created from his human heart (the heart of Onigumo, the thief who loved Kikyo decades earlier). These episodes offer plenty of action, including a battle with the firey horse-demon Entei and his ugly master Rengokuki. The filmmakers begin to draw the strands of the plot together for the seventh and final season: Miroku and Sango admit their affection for each other, and Inu-Yasha realizes that Kagome’s influence has cooled the desire for power that once consumed him. The Deluxe Edition comes with an Inu- Yasha watch. (Rated “Teen:” suitable for ages 13 and older: violence, grotesque imagery, alcohol use, brief nudity) –Charles Solomon

Box Set #6 was pretty good … not as action packed as #5 but still worth buying. Can’t wait till they release box set #7 for the final episodes #147 through #167 so I can finally finish watching this series and be done with it.
Anyone know an official release date for box set #7? It should cost about the same as this set seeing how it’s only going to be 21 episodes (probably 4 disc … one containing 6 shows the rest holding 5).
Oh well … back to the waiting game (still got other anime series to finish watching so that should keep me busy till it’s released).

Looks like that’s it. I recommend this box set to anyone who enjoys InuYasha, but if you don’t have the 1st 5 seasons I would recommend you get those first so you’re not lost.

Okay, small quibble first: For whatever reason, the picture size on the last disk only wouldn’t self-adjust to fit my TV screen from top to bottom, so I had to change the aspect ratio to 4:3. That made everything fit, but it looked like I was watching a show formatted for an old tube TV on a wide-screen (lots of black to the left and right). I would dock the set half a star if Amazon had half star increments in its rating system.
That said, the technical glitch detracts not a bit from what got me hooked on Inuyasha while watching it on Adult Swim–an engrossing story full of heroism and fully developed characters that grow and change. If you followed the whole series, you will agree that the episode “3000 Leagues in Search of Father,” is a tear-jerker in the best sense of the phrase. I check Amazon almost daily to see if Season 7 is available, and hope further that Sunrise will commit the rest of the manga to anime. Inuyasha is a work of art that is orders of magnitude better than the crap movies and TV series that are churned out and inflicted on an innocent public. Long live Inuyasha!
