Kagome Higurashi is a 15 year old schoolgirl who lives at a history-filled Japanese shrine. She is also the reincarnation of an ancient priestess named Kikyo, who guarded the sacred Shikon no Tama (Jewel of Four Souls), and who sealed away the half-demon Inuyasha who had tried to steal the jewel in order to become a full demon. Kikyo died of her wounds and had the jewel burned with her body. Kagome is one day pulled into the ancient well on her family's shrine and thrown into the past, 50 years after Kikyo's death. She befriends Kaede, the late Kikyo's sister, who realizes Kagome is Kikyo's reincarnation. They are attacked, and learn that Kagome has the Shikon no Tama, but it's actually inside her body! Kagome accidentally awakens the dog-demon Inuyasha, and frees him after the jewel has been ripped from her body. Now Inuyasha wants the jewel back, but Kagome can't let him have it. He is forced (by Kaede's magic) to wear a necklace that allows Kagome to control him with one word, "Sit... Written by Kimberly Milliff <psylock1234@ev1.net>

You know a series has to be good when you fall in love with a
"flawed" main character, especially an animated one (the only
other time this has happened was Vegeta from DBZ). I've only
seen the English dub on Adult Swim, but it really seems that
Richard Cox and Inuyasha the character were a perfect match; the
voice-acting is one of the biggest draws.
As for the show itself, anyone who's a fan of Buffy the Vampire
Slayer and Angel will love this. The storyline about an ancient half- man/half-demon and a young modern girl does have that base
parallel to Buffy and Angel, as well as incredibly good storytelling
that defies just as many genres. But from there it goes off on its
own particular mythologic twists and turns that make it so unique
and powerful. After every 24 minute episode I'm amazed at how
much has been accomplished and developed, all while giving a
fair balance to the cast of characters, all sharply-delineated and
possessing their own unique appeal. The scoring is equally
wonderful and often difficult to get out of your mind.
All in all, who cares about gritty or anything near that when for once
in a long time you can get swept up in the romance and fantasy
and drama of it all? This is a rare series, and one bound to get
rarer, particularly when all the networks (American at least) seem
to care about these days are reality shows or "realistic" dramas
uninterested in strong character-based plot developments. Anime
seems to be one of the last realms where you can find good
stories told exceedingly well with the emphasis where it should
always be, on the characters; that there's action, adventure,
romance, drama, or comedy is merely secondary.
